"We hosted that Iranian ship. They disarmed for our naval exercise. Then America attacked."
India's ex-FM just exposed the setup.
The UK stays silent when our "allies" pull stunts like this.
As someone who routinely mocks permabullish clickbait oil forecasts, I want to be exceptionally clear:
Crude WILL go to $200/bbl, en route higher, unless traffic through the Strait resumes.
Not clickbait, but rather brutal physics and necessary economic incentives.
This is one of the most jaw dropping moments of Trump’s presidency. Up there with brainstorming about injecting bleach and shining light up orifices to cure COVID.

From an international perspective, America is a rogue state now, right? America doesn't respect international law, doesn't honor treaties, is murdering civilians all over the world without care or consequence.
At what point does the rest of the world say ENOUGH?
I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.
ECCC floors are always sparkling clean

I think this is a great argument, beautifully constructed
Last 14 months of Biden's term:
+1.74m jobs
First 14 months of Trump's term:

BREAKING: Russia has provided Iran with information that can help Tehran strike the U.S. military, AP sources say.
Lmao
what’s extra terrifying right now is the knowledge that there’s just no backstop at all
we are locked in a box with a madman for another three years and there’s absolutely nothing that he can do to make his own party take the keys away and so the madness continues
it doesn’t feel sustainable, but…
Worse change: went back to live audience Q&As in the main room. It was so much better last year with questions submitted via your phone.
Mid ECCC status. Best improvements: almost no Funko pop resellers, and only 2 mystery box vendors. They made the main vendor hall smaller, so more room. They moved a number of the vendors over to the Arch, so it actually feels like a vendor's room.
Lavender honey hard cider
Taking a break in the ECCC tavern. Very tasty cider.
At least she has glittery boots.
Last year you submitted a question on your phone, and the moderator read them. Allowed more questions, and less BS questions.
Yuck. They have returned to having audience members ask questions on the mic. Much preferred what they did last year, it got rid of the attention seekers who just want their 15 seconds of fame.
Polymarket vi @Polymarket X.com BREAKING: Saudi Arabia abandons plans for "the line" — a planned 170km long megacity... will be converting it into an Al data center instead.
there’s a lot going on here..
uh, let’s start with latency. i never imagined saying this, but even the speed of light says this is an unusually bad idea
It is now high enough that oil companies will start to drill again, which I really think was his goal. "Drill, baby, Drill"
Not sure how I feel about this technoish dance remix of GnR.
I stole this from someone who didn’t use alt text. Alt text: a polymarket tweet that says “BREAKING: Anthropic CEO says Claude may or may not have gained consciousness, as the model has begun showing symptoms of anxiety.”
of course it has anxiety, you’re training it on multiple generations of anxious peoples’ content
The female DJ (Atomic Blond) is dressed down the year. Just a simple T-shirt. Hopefully she still brings the energy.
Row 4 center for The Boys panel. Now an hour of the preshow. The normal 2 DJ/hosts will keep us entertained.
The "Experts" predicted 50k job growth. The job lost will probably be even worse when they revise the numbers in a month or two.
I liked the whole concept of Starfleet Academy'sl 300th night (end of school year) celebration. I wish my university would have done something like this. But with finals spread out over a week, and everyone packing up to go home, we never had anything like this
Starfleet Academy had a serious cliff hanger last night. Hope they wrap it up in the season finale, and the conclusion isn't left hanging until season 2.
On my way to day 2 of ECCC. Will be headed to the Arch for The Boys panel. Then back to the summit for floor 3 and 4.

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
