Postgres 19 handles traffic spikes the way infrastructure should.... Not with one fixed I/O pool sized for an imaginary average day. But dynamically. → Traffic spikes → The I/O queue grows → PostgreSQL notices → More workers launch → The queue clears → Extra workers disappear when demand drops No manual intervention. No permanent overprovisioning. No tiny worker pool choking under production traffic. PostgreSQL is becoming infrastructure that adapts instead of infrastructure you babysit.show more

📌Today’s Office: Kampala Northern Bypass: This morning, I watched... school children and pedestrians confidently use the footbridge along the Northern Bypass, [Kyebando-Bukoto stretch], no worry of car crash risks!! Now this is what urban infrastructure should do; separate people from high-speed traffic, reduce conflict points, and protect vulnerable road users!!! We can therefore say this engineering solution did not only provide for vehicular traffic but also pedestrian safety! Let protect this very vital asset! Government of Uganda , the European Union and the Contractor Mota Engil delivered on this one!🤙🏾 #RoadSafetyUg Ministry of Works & Transportshow more

Today's heavy rain around 3:00 PM exposed a serious... civic issue. The drainage grate on the Veerannapalya Flyover (Nagawara to Hebbal road) became completely blocked with garbage, causing severe waterlogging. Within minutes, the flyover was flooded, forcing traffic to come to a standstill and resulting in a 3–4 km traffic jam. I was at home when I noticed the heavy congestion on Google Maps. I immediately put on my raincoat and rushed to the location. By the time I arrived, Sector Cobra personnel had also reached the spot. Together, we cleared the garbage blocking the drainage grate. Within 15 minutes, the water drained away and traffic resumed smoothly. What surprised me the most was that more than 100 people were standing there watching, yet no one stepped forward to remove the debris. If just a few people had taken the initiative, thousands of commuters could have been spared from unnecessary delays. Even more concerning is the negligence of the agencies responsible for maintaining stormwater drains. Because of poor maintenance, the burden often falls on Traffic Police, Traffic Wardens, volunteers, and responsible citizens to solve problems that should have been prevented in the first place. Let's not be citizens who only complain. Whenever it is safe to do so, let's become part of the solution. Sometimes, a small act of responsibility can save thousands of people from inconvenience. A responsible city is built by responsible citizens. Let's all do our part.

BEWARE OF MUMBAI TRAFFIC POLICE NEGLIGENCE! Thanks to my... dashcam, otherwise this totally incompetent Mumbai Traffic Police lady constable (who was very rude btw) would have extorted money from me for no fault of mine! As you can see in the video, I cross the stop line VERY comfortably when the light is green. When I am half way across the wide highway on which this light is situated is when the light turns orange. And then red at the point where there is a bottleneck created by these very traffic police operating under the flyover. The lady traffic constable in concern isn't even looking at my car or the light the whole time. She was busy looking somewhere else and just turns and looks at my car when I have already crossed the entire road, and she gestures me to stop, pointing at the light, indicating that I jumped it! After this, what is not recorded, because I stopped the recording to show it to her is even more shocking. She came up to me and said I jumped the light. I said no it turned red well after I crossed it, to which she rudely said "kaahi hi bolu naka" which means "dont talk rubbish"! Wow! After that I showed her the video, but SHE STILL INSISTED THAT I WAS WRONG AND I SHOULD PAY THE FINE. SERIOUSLY! NO KIDDING! This is her judgement making ability and she is in law and order? Her last plea to me was that why dont I pay, the fine is just Rs. 500! “Aaya hai to kuch deke hi jaana” attitude?? What sort of personnel do you have on board, Mumbai Traffic Police Commissioner of Police, Greater Mumbai महाराष्ट्र पोलीस - Maharashtra Police Dr Ravinder Singal IPS pravin padwal ? Even with the recording, this is my plight. Without it I was a total goner! MTP needs a major revamp.

There is something about running on the road that... a treadmill can never teach you. The road doesn't care if you're tired, if it's humid, if you've had a long day at work, or if you didn't sleep well. It simply demands you to keep moving. During last two years, I've run on empty roads before sunrise, sometimes on streets filled with traffic, flyovers that tested my strength, and stretches where the only sound I could hear was of me losing breath. Every run on the road has been different but every time I run on road, it reminds me that running is far more mental than physical. When you run on the road, you can't control everything. There are potholes, traffic lights, barking dogs, unexpected distractions, humidity, rain, headwinds. You have to adapt instead of complain. You must stop waiting for perfect conditions because progress rarely comes on perfect days. Road running has also taught me patience. You don't become a marathoner in a week. Every long run, every early alarm, every extra kilometer is an investment. There are no shortcuts, you need to be consistent. The biggest challenge is never the distance. It's the voice inside your head that tells you to stop. There were times when my mind wanted to quit but every time I chose to keep going, I finished the target only to feel more stronger, not just physically, but mentally. One thing I love about running on roads is that they constantly remind you to stay present. You have to watch where you step, be aware of traffic, adjust your pace, and make decisions every second. Running on road rewards focus and punishes distraction. It's a lesson that extends well beyond running. Another lesson is that the most challenging routes usually offer the greatest results. The steep climbs while running on bridges make your legs stronger. The long runs build the deepest confidence. Running on roads has also taught me that discomfort is temporary, consistency beats motivation, and growth begins the moment you choose not to quit. The roads of Karachi are more than training ground for me. They've seen me on my happiest mornings and my toughest days. These streets have quietly become my therapist, my teacher, and my coach. They've listened when I had no one to talk to, challenged me when I wanted to quit, and reminded me that no matter how chaotic life gets, the only way forward is one step at a time.show more

This is exactly why I keep saying, Lets focus... on the basics before chasing mega projects because of our population 😢🥺💔 Just look at the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge. A multi-billion-naira piece of infrastructure built under Fashola, properly maintained under Ambode, and now showing signs of neglect, with grass literally growing around parts of the bridge. How did we get here? I appreciate the infrastructure this administration is trying to build, but what is the point of new projects when the infrastructure we already have is deteriorating? Lagos needs a serious maintenance culture. Fix the roads, clean the city, enforce environmental standards, landscape public spaces and maintain existing infrastructure before embarking on endless ribbon-cutting projects. Road infrastructure and environmental aesthetics can transform Lagos way more in this digital age. They improve quality of life, attract global tourism, unlock investment and make skilled Nigerians and foreigners want to stay, invest and bring their families here. Investors don't just need mega projects; they need a city that is clean, functional, safe and pleasant to live in. And I understand that infrastructure is expensive, especially with today's exchange rate. That is why Govt should also consider bringing back tolls on suitable roads and using the revenue specifically for maintenance. Lagos has the population, talent, investment, connectivity and economic potential. What it needs is disciplined management. Success attracts both people who want to build and those who want to exploit or destroy; government must protect the city while supporting those contributing positively to it. So, to the current governor: Sir please, look around Lagos before you leave office. You have done things worth appreciating, but the environmental and maintenance decline needs urgent attention. Leave the next administration a city that is properly maintained, not one where infrastructure built by previous governments is allowed to deteriorate. And to whoever becomes governor in 2027: please sir make maintenance, roads, environmental aesthetics, law and order your priority before chasing more mega projects. Give Lagos a clean, beautiful and functional environment, and you will have a legacy people can actually see and feel. Lagos has not reached its prime. We can build on what we already have and make it even better than the Lagos of Fashola and Ambode.

Manikonda Residents Demand Immediate Road Widening and Traffic Relief... Today, residents of Manikonda and surrounding colonies gathered at Marrichettu and conducted a Walkathon up to OU Colony, demanding immediate widening of the Marrichettu–OU Colony Road, which has become severely congested. The traffic situation is particularly unbearable during peak hours. Commuters, pedestrians, senior citizens and school-going children are facing serious difficulties. Most importantly, emergency vehicles such as ambulances and fire tenders are often unable to move freely, creating a serious threat to public safety. The Manikonda Praja AIKYA Vedika, a people’s movement, demands the following immediate measures: Immediate widening of the Marrichettu–OU Colony Road to address the chronic traffic congestion. Immediate opening of alternate routes, including the TRAILS–Road No.10, Panchavati Colony Box Drain-cum-Road, which was constructed nearly two years ago at a cost of about ₹10 crore from taxpayers’ money. This road is a public asset and cannot be kept unused or effectively left for the exclusive benefit or usage of a private builder. Construction of the Shivpuri–Chitrapuri route via Jana Chaitanya Colony to provide an additional alternative corridor and reduce pressure on the existing road network. Shifting of the RTA Office from Shivpuri Colony, as its present location contributes to traffic congestion and inconvenience to residents. Immediate shifting of all electrical poles obstructing the carriageway and footpaths, ensuring safe and unobstructed movement for pedestrians and vehicles. Utilisation of all available setbacks for road-widening purposes, wherever legally permissible, instead of allowing them to be used as commercial parking spaces that further reduce the effective road width. The residents demand that all these measures be implemented within a clearly defined, time-bound action plan, with responsibility fixed on the concerned authorities. The people of Manikonda have been suffering from this traffic crisis for far too long. Road infrastructure must keep pace with population growth and urban development. Public roads and public assets cannot be allowed to remain underutilised while citizens struggle every day. If the authorities fail to initiate concrete action within a reasonable and time-bound period, the residents will be compelled to launch a mass movement, including a Rasta Roko programme, to draw the attention of the government and ensure their legitimate demands are addressed. Shortly, an Action Committee will be formed to take this issue forward, coordinate with the concerned authorities, and pursue the demands until concrete action is initiated.

I just built a Meta Ads diagnostic in Claude... Code that tells you WHY your account broke, not just what changed 🤯 It spins up a team of agents that each investigate a different reason performance dropped, then argue against each other to kill the wrong answer before it ever reaches you. All inside Claude Code. Perfect for DTC brands and agencies who panic-kill creative the second CPA spikes. If you've watched ROAS fall off a cliff and opened Ads Manager with ten tabs going, you already know what happens next. Your gut says "creative fatigue." You kill your best-performing ad. A week later performance is still broken, because that was never the problem. Guessing wrong is the most expensive move in paid social. This workflow ends the guessing: → One agent investigates each competing theory — creative fatigue, budget and delivery changes, traffic quality, offer and seasonality → Each one is blind to the others, reasoning only from its own slice of the data so they can't bias each other → A refuter agent then attacks every surviving theory and tries to kill it → A theory only stands if the data can't disprove it → You get a ranked diagnosis: the real cause, the evidence for and against it, and the one move to make this week No anchoring on the first obvious answer. No killing winning creative on a hunch. No "here's what happened" reports that never tell you why. What you get: → Every theory tested in parallel instead of one biased guess → An adversarial pass that kills the wrong answer before you act on it → A ranked diagnosis with confidence levels and evidence both ways → A reusable workflow you drop next month's export into and re-run Built 100% in Claude Code with the new dynamic workflows. The first account I ran it on looked like textbook creative fatigue. The workflow disagreed, and traced the real cause to a budget change that had doubled spend and flooded delivery with junk traffic. I put together a full playbook with the exact workflow, the prompt, and how to run it on your own account.

🚨 £500,000,000 MORE FOR UKRAINE — NO QUESTIONS ASKED... Another half-billion pounds. That’s £500,000,000 of British taxpayers’ money — announced in seconds — for “urgent air defence” in Ukraine. When was the last time you saw a detailed breakdown of where the previous billions went? When was the last time Parliament debated outcomes instead of headlines? When was the last time the public got transparency on results, oversight, or measurable impact? We are told: It’s urgent. It’s necessary. It’s strategic. But we are not shown: • A clear audit trail • A full spending report • A defined endgame Meanwhile, at home: Energy bills are crushing families. Public services are stretched. Infrastructure is crumbling. Foreign aid decisions move at lightning speed. Domestic relief moves at glacial speed. You don’t have to oppose Ukraine to ask questions. You don’t have to side with Russia to demand accountability. Half a billion pounds is not spare change. It’s your money. And transparency should not be optional.show more

Gated societies are not India's future. Townships are. Think... about why gated societies became so popular in the first place. It was never just about security. People wanted good roads, proper footpaths, parks, greenery, cleanliness... basically a place where they could step out without having to deal with the everyday problems outside. But even the best gated society has one problem. The moment you step outside, you're back to reality. You still have to go to work. Your kids have to go to school. You have to visit hospitals, restaurants, shopping areas and a hundred other places. And you have to navigate the bad traffic, dirty roads, potholes on roads, etc. That's where I think townships come in. I recently visited Bhartiya City in North Bangalore. It's spread across 125 acres and has residential societies, offices, schools, hospitals, hotels, restaurants, parks... almost everything you need. The roads, footpaths, greenery and public spaces are all maintained by the private developer. You're no longer buying just a flat, but buying an entire environment/ecosystem. And this is happening because people have slowly stopped expecting good public infrastructure from the government. They'd rather pay a private developer to build and maintain it. First we paid extra for a gated society. Now we're paying for an entire town. Think about how crazy that is. People pay so much in taxes, yet they still feel the need to pay again for good roads, parks, footpaths, cleanliness and basic civic infrastructure because they don't expect to get it outside. People are trying to escape the problems of India... while still living in India. I genuinely think this is where Indian real estate is headed. More townships. More self-contained ecosystems. More people choosing to live inside these bubbles because that's where they find the quality of life they're looking for.show more

Someone left a comment stating that no one should... make a career out of network infrastructure work. This is me as a network technician in 2023. I’ve just completed my CCNA. Today, I’m a network security engineer, and not only do I sit on my ass and configure the gear, but I install them, trace fiber and all. Networking is a continuous journey, and there are some snobby “Sr” engineers that frown upon technicians and look down on them. If it wasn’t for this job, I would not have been the engineer I am today and none of you would be following me asking me how to become a network engineer. Please learn the physical shit, too. There’s nothing wrong with going inside of a network closet :)show more

Why is the market selling off today? (Save this).... The semi selloff right now is being driven by a mix of macro fear, profit taking and investors questioning how quickly all of this AI spending will actually pay off, not because demand for AI infrastructure suddenly disappeared. The market is basically trading this chain reaction, the ongoing US Iran escalation pushes oil higher, higher oil keeps inflation elevated, sticky inflation keeps Treasury yields high and that increases the risk of the Fed staying hawkish or even hiking again. That is a terrible setup for semis because many of these companies are valued on the massive earnings investors expect them to generate years from now. When yields rise, those future earnings become worth less today which is why the highest multiple AI and semiconductor names usually get hit first. (I don't think there will be a hike this year). This is also why everything is moving together right now. Nvidia, Micron, Nebius, SanDisk, Broadcom and Applied Optoelectronics are all completely different businesses, but institutions are not separating memory, networking, optics, compute and cloud infrastructure at the moment. They are reducing exposure to the entire AI trade, taking profits in the names that have already run the most and moving into a more defensive position potentially ahead of the Fed. There is also growing pressure around hyperscaler capex. Microsoft, Meta, Amazon and Google are still spending enormous amounts on GPUs, data centers, networking and power but the market is starting to ask when all of that spending will actually turn into revenue and free cash flow. Investors are no longer satisfied with hearing that AI capex is growing. They want proof that the returns are arriving fast enough to justify the valuations already priced into the entire AI ecosystem. That creates a weird situation where hyperscaler capex can continue rising while semiconductor stocks still fall. The market is not asking whether AI spending is growing anymore but rather asking whether it is growing fast enough to beat the expectations already baked into these stocks. Crowded positioning is another major factor. Semis and AI infrastructure stocks have been some of the biggest winners in the market so institutions are sitting on huge profits and many funds own the exact same names. When macro risk increases, investors usually sell the most liquid winners first. That does not mean demand for memory, optics or custom chips suddenly collapsed but rather means investors are locking in gains and reducing risk. Tariffs add another layer because even when they are not directly placed on chips, they can still raise the cost of servers, electrical equipment, cooling systems, construction materials and the overall data center buildout. That makes AI infrastructure more expensive while also adding another source of inflation. Then you have Jensen Huang’s letter to the White House this morning about open weight AI models, which I think is one of the most important long term developments here. Nvidia, Meta, Microsoft, Palantir and several other companies are pushing Washington not to place broad restrictions on open weight AI. OpenAI and Anthropic were notably absent because open models are much more of a threat to their business models. OpenAI and Anthropic benefit from a world where a few closed frontier labs control the best models and companies have to pay them through subscriptions and APIs. Open weight models weaken that advantage because businesses can download a model, customize it for their own use and run it on their own infrastructure or through a neocloud. That is bad for OpenAI and Anthropic because it puts pressure on pricing, margins and the idea that they will control the intelligence layer of the economy but it is very good for the AI ecosystem as a whole over the long run. But the question is what does this mean for all the OpenAI and Anthropic commitments? so that's adding to the fear as well. But with that being said open models make AI cheaper and more accessible. Instead of AI being controlled by a few giant labs, thousands of startups, universities, governments and regular businesses can deploy models themselves. That spreads AI adoption across the entire economy and creates a much larger infrastructure opportunity and that is exactly why Jensen cares. Nvidia does not need OpenAI or Anthropic to win. Nvidia just needs more people using AI. Whether the model comes from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Mistral, Kimi or some startup nobody has heard of yet, it still needs GPUs, memory, networking, data centers and electricity. So open weight AI could actually weaken the model companies while making the infrastructure layer much bigger. More open models mean more companies running inference. More inference means more GPUs. More GPUs mean more HBM, optical transceivers, switches, data centers and power. That is bullish for Nvidia Nebius, Micron, Broadcom , Marvell and Applied Optoelectronics over the long run. So my take is that the current semi selloff is being driven mostly by macro uncertainty, higher oil, rising yields, Fed fears, tariffs, crowded positioning and questions around the return on hyperscaler capex. The underlying AI infrastructure thesis has not suddenly broken. We are not broadly seeing hyperscalers cancel GPU orders, slash capex, abandon data center projects or report that AI demand has collapsed. What has changed is the valuation investors are willing to pay while the macro environment remains unstable. The market is lowering the price it is willing to pay for semiconductor growth but is not necessarily saying that growth is gone. And while Jensen’s open weight push may be bad for OpenAI and Anthropic, it could be one of the best things possible for the AI ecosystem over the long run because it creates more models, more developers, more competition and ultimately much more demand for the infrastructure underneath all of it. Nothing about the AI thesis has changed for me, so I will be going shopping and taking advantage of this sale while the market is selling everything together.

Out of Ryan Cohen’s entire interview, the line that... should be burned into everyone’s brain is this: “If I were running the business, it would be making a lot more money.” That is the whole thesis. Not hype. Not memes. Not nostalgia. A founder-operator looked at eBay, saw one of the most recognized marketplaces on earth, saw billions being spent with barely any user growth, saw a company sitting on trust, traffic, collectibles, payments, authentication, and global commerce infrastructure… Basically said: This asset is wildly under-earning. That is why this matters. GameStop is not trying to buy eBay because it wants a bigger logo. Ryan Cohen is saying eBay should be worth much more, and he believes he can turn it into something worth hundreds of billions of dollars. GameStop’s proposal is reportedly $125 per share, valuing eBay around $56 billion, with Cohen prepared to push the offer directly to shareholders if needed. That is the biggest takeaway. He is not talking like a meme-stock mascot. He is talking like an owner. Cut the waste. Fix the machine. Use GameStop’s stores as physical commerce nodes. Build authentication, fulfillment, live commerce, collectibles, and marketplace trust into one ecosystem. The wild part? I believe him. Because Ryan Cohen has already shown what he does when people call a business dead. He cuts the fat. He protects the balance sheet. He ignores the noise. He lets the work speak. Wall Street keeps asking what GameStop’s plan is. Maybe the plan is simple: Find underperforming assets with massive cultural value, put them under owner-led discipline, and make them print. eBay should be making a lot more money. Ryan Cohen just said the quiet part out loud.show more

I replaced our Datadog bill with a single binary... and cut infrastructure costs by 98% overnight. It’s called OpenObserve. Logs, metrics, traces, and frontend monitoring in one tool, self-hosted, and it’s built specifically to stop the bill that grows every time you add a host, a user, or a custom metric. → One binary, running in under 2 minutes. No cluster, no separate components for logs vs metrics vs traces → Built in Rust on the DataFusion query engine, so it stays fast even at petabyte scale → Uses Parquet columnar storage on S3-compatible object storage instead of a proprietary format, which is where the real cost savings come from → Query with SQL or PromQL instead of a vendor’s proprietary syntax, so your team isn’t learning a new query language just to read a dashboard → Full OpenTelemetry compatibility, no proprietary agents required to get your existing instrumentation talking to it → Community dashboard library on GitHub for Kubernetes, Docker, Postgres, AWS, and LLM observability, ready to drop in instead of building from scratch In OpenObserve’s own published benchmark, the same 16-service workload cost $174/day on Datadog and $3/day self-hosted, a 98% cut, before even touching per-host or per-seat fees. 18,000+ GitHub stars.

I remember you well: You may not remember me,... but I remember you very clearly. That very day when you surrounded our car with Kalashnikovs. You forced us out of the vehicle, searched our bodies under the pretext of “security,” and humiliated us. You were looking inside the car for “threats to security”; security that, apparently, was hidden in the phones of a few ordinary citizens, while the smallest details of your own information were never hidden from foreign intelligence services. I asked you: Why? You were drunk on power, backed by military-grade bullets. Your only reply was one sentence: “Shut up.” When you found nothing in the car or our phones, you furiously slammed the car body, not to search it, but to frighten us even more, us, your own fellow citizens. Now I see the drone attack footage on your checkpoint. And before anyone says “karma,” let me be very clear: This is not the karma of your actions. It is simply the consequence of the same violence, the same humiliation of people, and the same illusion of power that you have lived with for years. And now, for me, you are no longer compatriots, nor do I have even a moment of mourning left for you. 🎥 A video of attacks on the forces of the Islamic Republic regime #IranWar2026 #IranRevolution2026show more

🚨 OPERATIONAL UPDATE: ISRAEL U.S. WAR WITH IRAN -... Reporting Window: Last 24 Hours The last 24 hours reinforce the structure that has been developing across the war. Activity remained steady across Iran, Israel, Lebanon, and the Gulf, with no single breakthrough moment but continued pressure applied across every layer of the conflict. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✈️ STRIKES INSIDE IRAN Strikes continued across multiple areas inside Iran, including Tehran, Shiraz, Kermanshah, and Ahvaz. The targeting profile remains consistent with recent days, focused on systems tied to weapons development and military sustainment. In Tehran, reporting points to continued strikes on military-industrial infrastructure, including: *⃣ Weapons production and research facilities *⃣ Infrastructure around Mehrabad Airport *⃣ Sites linked to Iran’s advanced weapons programs, including SPND-related supply nodes There are also indications that some of these locations had secondary roles, including use by Basij-linked personnel. That aligns with the broader pattern of targeting not just hardware, but the networks that support it. The key point in this 24 hour window is continuity. The same categories of targets are being hit repeatedly, suggesting an effort to ensure these systems are not just damaged, but unable to recover quickly. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚀 IRANIAN RESPONSE Iran continues to respond. Current intelligence assessments indicate that roughly half of Iran’s missile launchers remain intact, along with a large drone inventory. At the same time, the operational pattern remains limited. Iran is still launching missiles and conducting attacks, but still not at the scale seen earlier in the war. The response appears to rely on: *⃣ Smaller salvos rather than sustained barrages *⃣ Continued willingness to strike civilian-adjacent targets *⃣ Expansion of pressure beyond Israel itself This reflects pressure on launch systems and coordination, not a lack of overall capability. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔥 LEBANON FRONT The Lebanon front remained active during this window, with both ground and air components continuing. Israeli forces carried out a targeted ground operation in southern Lebanon, resulting in direct engagement with Hezbollah fighters. Reporting indicates: *⃣ Israeli troops pushed deeper into southern لبنان *⃣ Hezbollah operatives were killed in close-quarters combat *⃣ Additional strikes were carried out against infrastructure using air, naval, and ground assets This is consistent with ongoing efforts to shape the immediate border area and reduce launch capability from southern Lebanon. At the same time, the front remains contained geographically, but active in terms of daily engagement. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌍 GULF AND REGIONAL ACTIVITY Regional expansion continues to be one of the most consistent elements of the war. Over the last 24 hours, Iranian attacks again targeted Gulf infrastructure, including: *⃣ A Kuwaiti oil refinery and desalination facility *⃣ Additional aerial threats across UAE airspace, including ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones *⃣ Civilian injuries linked to interception and debris in the UAE These are functional targets tied to energy and water systems, reinforcing the broader strategy of applying pressure beyond Israel. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚓ STRAIT OF HORMUZ Hormuz remains central to the strategic picture. Developments in this window include: *⃣ Ongoing discussions among multiple countries regarding how to reopen and secure the strait *⃣ Continued Iranian signaling around its ability to influence maritime traffic *⃣ Early indications of mediation channels involving Oman There is no resolution here yet, but the focus on Hormuz is becoming more operational and less theoretical. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚠️ IRAQ Iraq emerged more clearly in this window the last 24 hours as a continued potential point of escalation. The U.S. embassy issued a warning that Iran-aligned militias could conduct attacks in Baghdad within 24 to 48 hours, with potential targets including: *⃣ Diplomatic facilities *⃣ Commercial and infrastructure sites *⃣ Areas frequented by U.S. personnel This aligns with the broader pattern of pressure expanding through proxy channels when direct options are constrained. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 WHAT MATTERS MOST RIGHT NOW The structure of the war remains stable, but fully active: *⃣ Inside Iran, strikes continue to focus on production and sustainment systems *⃣ Iran retains significant capability, but is operating under constraints *⃣ Lebanon remains an active front with ongoing ground and air operations *⃣ The Gulf is consistently targeted, particularly energy and infrastructure systems *⃣ Iraq is showing early signs of becoming more active through proxy activity ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🧠 MY ASSESSMENT This 24-hour window of time does not introduce a new dynamic. It confirms the current one. Israel is continuing to apply pressure across the systems that allow Iran to produce and coordinate military activity. Iran is continuing to respond within its constraints while expanding pressure across the region where it can. The result is a conflict that is not concentrated in one place, but distributed across multiple active fronts at once. That remains the defining characteristic of the war right now.show more

Lot of people writing about MSTR and STRC. The... best thing MSTR did last December was raise $2.2B in cash for a reserve fund. It put investors like myself at ease regarding future dividend obligations. It was armor in a potential bear market. The bear market arrived. But MSTR used their reserves to retire debt. They now have $871M in reserves. This is not what I wanted to see. No one at MSTR cares what I think. STRC is a great feat of engineering whose very success has put it under strain. Why? Because if you successfully launch a product with no volatility returning significantly above the real rate of return you will have tremendous demand. The low volatility means investors will leverage highly. Retail investors. And to have the CEO retweet DEFI shit products built to DO EXACTLY that is irresponsible. I'm not happy right now. No one cares. And everyone gets what they deserve. Some more than others.show more

📍 Vega City, Bannerghatta Road Take a look at... the condition of this road. At first glance, it may appear to be a normal black patch, but in reality, the surface is completely damaged, filled with loose stones, mud, uneven patches, and crater-like potholes. This has turned what should be a safe public road into a serious hazard for commuters. The question every taxpayer is asking is: where is the tax money going? Citizens pay road tax, property tax, fuel tax, and various other charges, yet basic road infrastructure continues to deteriorate. During the rainy season, these roads get flooded and resemble small lakes, making travel dangerous and difficult. When there is no rain, the situation is hardly any better, as loose gravel, broken surfaces, and potholes pose risks to motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians alike. Bengaluru is known as India's technology capital, but many of its roads continue to reflect poor planning, delayed maintenance, and a lack of accountability. Residents are forced to navigate damaged roads every day while infrastructure projects and promises of development continue to dominate headlines. Do the lives and safety of citizens not matter? How many accidents, vehicle damages, and daily inconveniences must people endure before permanent solutions are implemented? Roads are not a luxury they are a basic necessity, and taxpayers deserve infrastructure that is safe, reliable, and maintained throughout the year. #bangalore #bengaluru #bannerghattaroad Greater Bengaluru Authority Maheshwar Rao.M, IAS DK Shivakumar ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru alok kumar DGP KARNATAKA ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ Karnataka State Police DGP KARNATAKA S.
