A cross-chain message should not be trusted just because it arrives. Here is how Canary verifies one before it ever settles, in four steps.
Step one, the source. Canary reads chain data only from certificate-pinned endpoints. If an imposter RPC presents a mismatched certificate, it is rejected before it is ever read. An entire class of man-in-the-middle attacks is shut out at the source.
Step two, the enclave. Verification runs inside a hardware-isolated trusted execution environment, with attestation proving the exact code is running and unmodified. The operator cannot see inside it or change what it does.
How a £1-an-acre trick is quietly handing Britain's industrial commons to AI companies, and why nobody has connected the dots until now.
My new essay on the Anthropic/Teesside data centre deal, the Paris AI Summit walkout, and why the UK's "free zones" programme is quietly sabotaging any future return to the EU.

1/ THE TEESSIDE DEAL: Two businessmen got the right to buy public land for £1/acre in 2021. The public body that owns it spent £450m+ cleaning it up.
This month, they sell 222 acres to Anthropic for £222m.
That's a roughly 1,000x markup, captured almost entirely by two men.

2/ Jobs at the resulting Anthropic data centre: - 200.
Jobs originally promised when Teesside got freeport status in 2021: 20,000.
The £1/acre option sold as a "quick delivery incentive" has become the permanent mechanism for intercepting any investor before they reach the public.

I agree with the sentiment of that viral Oxfam thread about Musk.
But point 2 ("10% of his wealth ends poverty") isn't just naive — it shows how much of the left still thinks inside capitalism. That blind spot hurts us all. 🧵

The thread assumes poverty = lack of money.
So give money → poverty gone.
But under capitalism, money is just a claim on scarce, privately owned resources.
No new houses. No new food. No new energy.
Just more currency chasing the same goods.

What happens then?
Inflation. Rent spikes. Landlords and asset owners capture the transfer.
The poor get temporary relief. The elites get richer.
That’s not a bug. it’s the logic of capitalism.
Redistribution alone doesn’t restructure ownership.

Pretending your opposition “hates immigrants” is a sign of cowardice, moral weakness and exposes you as a stone cold retard to anyone with more than 2 brain cells to rub together 🧵
1/ Russian warbloggers are baffled and angry at the Kalashikov Group's announcement of a single-shot shotgun, chambered in a lower-powered calibre, for shooting down drones. One comments that "You can probably only shoot yourself with it". ⬇️ 
2/ In a Telegram post on 8 June, the Kalashnikov Group announced a new gun produced by specialists at the Central Research Institute of Precision Engineering (JSC TsNIITochMash, part of the Rostec State Corporation under the management of the Kalashnikov Group):
3/ "This compact, single-shot shotgun chambered for 12x70 mm cartridges is designed to defeat small, low-flying UAVs. The weapon's main advantage is its compact size and light weight—weighing only 1.8 kg."

I've started a 25-day series on Scaling and Architecture.
One topic per day.
As a Principal Backend Engineer with 12+ years of building systems at scale, I want to break down every concept I wish someone explained to me earlier in my career.
Day 1 was Load Balancing.
Today is Day 2: CDN.
Follow along if you're serious about system design. This will be worth your time.

Day 2/25: CDN
Most people think CDN = "makes images load faster."
That is like saying a seatbelt = "a piece of fabric."
Technically true. Completely misses the point.
A CDN is a network of servers sitting in cities all over the world. User in Mumbai? Served from Mumbai. User in Berlin? Served from Berlin. Your actual server in Virginia doesn't even hear about it.
But the real magic is not speed. It's protection.
Quick math:
- 10,000 requests/sec hitting your app
- CDN handles 92% of them at the edge
- Your backend sees ~800
That's it. 800. The other 9,200 never touch your infra.
Your origin should be handling:
- Cache misses
- Writes
- Truly dynamic stuff
Everything else? Answered before it reaches your data centre.
The teams that scale best aren't the ones with the fanciest backends. They're the ones who figured out how to keep traffic away from the backend.
Let me break this down properly 👇

“Iran is in a geographic position, a crucial one, in Asia, Eurasia. If you wish to bring together China, Pakistan, India, and other countries, and link them to Europe, it has to be done involving Iran. Therefore, if you wish to prevent cooperation among India, China, Europe, and the Middle East, you have to destabilize Iran.” — Lyndon LaRouche (1996)
“What they (the British) objected to, and Kissinger objected to, against the Shah, was the Shah’s agreement to trade petroleum for technology with Japan and the developing countries—and Germany.” — Lyndon LaRouche (1996)
“The British wanted that stopped. They said, ‘We will not tolerate a new Japan in the Middle East,’ that is, Iran, becoming a new industrial, technological power.” — Lyndon LaRouche (1996)
Fellow Nigerians
Today, we celebrate democracy and the enduring Nigerian spirit. For 27 unbroken years, since May 29, 1999, Nigerians have chosen their leaders through the ballot, witnessed peaceful transitions of power, and resolved disagreements in courtrooms and legislative chambers—not through violence. We have experienced the longest stretch of civilian rule in our history. Our democracy is not perfect, but it is ours, and we must continue to defend and strengthen it.

We have experienced the longest stretch of civilian rule in our history. Our democracy is not perfect, but it is ours, and we must continue to defend and strengthen it.
In the coming days, Ekiti and Osun States will hold elections. I urge INEC, security agencies, and all parties to ensure these polls are peaceful and credible. Democracy fails when citizens doubt the process. To our National Assembly, Judiciary, the Press, and Civil Society: you are the guardrails of our republic. Criticise me, disagree with me, but never stop believing in Nigeria.
To our young people: Nigeria is your home and your future. Build here, code here, work here, and vote here. Every great nation was built by those who stayed to solve problems, not by those who abandoned ship.
To our armed forces, police, and intelligence services: Nigeria salutes your sacrifice. To our traditional rulers, faith leaders, and community heads: thank you for your support of peace and reconciliation. The government cannot do it alone.
Today, we honour the resilience of Nigerians who refused to surrender their faith in freedom, and the courage of those who stood firm against intimidation. We pay tribute to patriots who endured persecution, imprisonment, exile, and even death so that future generations could enjoy democracy. I salute labour leaders, journalists, activists, students, women, professionals, political leaders, and soldiers—both those who have passed and those still with us—for their patriotic contributions.
