I'm not sure I can explain it any more it's gone so far.

But news in brief:

Core is physically attacking Knots nodes with malicious code, asking to start a new node sync multiple times crashing targeted nodes.

Knots is approaching 18% adoption despite this.

Mechanic is suggesting that Core V30 is going to cause the intentional death of Bitcoin and Core is still saying if you can't stop JPEGs you might as well mitigate them.

Adam Back is playing devils advocate saying the network (consensus) always win and Mechanic has found an old tweet of Adams from pre blocksize wars days advocating large blocks.

I thought big blocks were supposed to hurt Blockstream's projects (Elements, Liquid)? Who the F knows at this point...so much quote mining and inconsistency.

It was a historical post, but technically no. Blockstream runs data centre hosted federated nodes, so you could consider that big blocks would benefit them.

The historic tweet pre-dates the blocksize wars. Everybody was in favour of bigger blocks, it was the hard forking that was the enemy. The blocksize wars are correctly referred to as the fork wars by those in the know.
