The threat of a new natural gas crisis sent prices soaring by almost 50% on Mon after Qatar was forced to halt production following attacks. The unprecedented move by QatarEnergy, the world’s largest LNG company, alarmed traders and poses the first concrete threat to the global economy.

It's probably not happening again, as @pkrugman.bsky.social lays out.
Instead we may get a combination of price increases, Private Equity, and AI collapses.

This is correct.
The cowardice of Congressional Republicans—and, of course, their buddy John Fetterman (D-Netanyahu)—is, to use a loaded word, deplorable.
Classic schoolyard bully stuff. It’s a Lord of the Flies regime.

Anna Paulina Luna (real name Anna Paulina Mayerhofer) was a stripper in 2014 at the Red Rose Gentleman’s Club in Fort Walton Beach, FL.
She claimed to be Jewish while her grandpa was a Nazi 👇
Then she claimed to be Cuban...
Luna is a professional liar.

Lots to hate here, but I’ll make a smaller point.
I’m a baseball coach. I wear baseball hats a lot because that’s part of my job.
When did it become okay for a world leader to just pop on a cap and talk about bombing other countries?
An entirely unserious person in the most serious of times.
Angry crowds tried to storm the US embassy in Baghdad's Green Zone, and Iraqi security forces fought to repel them. Unclear if the breach attempts are still ongoing.

Thank you Scouting America!

I'm grateful we have humanity left in the USA. Bring democracy back.

NEVER FORGET: Howard Lutnick said that seniors won't care if they don't get their Social Security checks & anyone who complained is a fraudster. Now we KNOW he is perpetrating FRAUD by lying about the Epstein files.
As someone on SSDI if I didn't get my check I WOULD BE LIVID! It's my ONLY income.🤬
We live in the absolute most moronic of times, and innocents are dying because of it.

Trump and his allies pushed their illegal campaign to prevent fair elections in 2026.
Democracy Docket not only covered every step, but revealed key new information along the way.

A White House conflict of interests that should be getting a ton more attention.
Some of us are very familiar with this account the pro-Trump X account Johnny MAGA. It built a following of nearly 300,000 by presenting itself as just another independent voice in the MAGA ecosystem.

Banning polymarket betting and crypto should get added to the next Democratic platform.
Both are corrupt, wasteful endeavors that bring no benefit whatsoever to society.
Grifters keep grifting…
Turns out on Polymarket “six newly-created accounts made a profit of $1 million by correctly betting that the U.S. would strike Iran by February 28 — behavior that could indicate insider trading.”
🤔 wonder who they were?

Waging an unnecessary war to turn a dictatorial regime into what, at best, would be a balkanized failed state is neither good strategy nor a path toward a safer world.
This is, indeed, a more dangerous, senseless, and incompetent path that what sucked us into Afghanistan and Iraq.
The rate of destruction of U.S. science is just senseless. It's willful, still senseless.

A bit of wisdom from my father, who passed recently:
“All we can do as parents is to try and make new mistakes.”
“And they’re now promising “legal consequences” if the administration …keep detaining people in ways they have deemed unconstitutional. Those consequences could range from civil fines to contempt.”
About damned time federal judges start brandishing the “C-word” more aggressively.
Oooh, chills.
Will always take the opportunity to lay out my little idea to keep Peaks going even with the great David Lynch now having travelled to the Lodge.
I have seen no indication there was any immediate threat to Americans. So why did we put troops in harms way and potentially ignite another forever war?

Trump Cuts Off Anthropic, AI Firm That Stood Against Killer Robots and Mass Surveillance
“Demanding security guardrails for how AI is used by the Department of Defense isn’t radical—it’s protecting the constitutional rights of the American people,” said New Jersey’s Democratic governor.
The UAE secretly paid Trump $187 million. Money in his pocket personally. And then Trump overrode decades of national security objections to selling Nvidia chips to UAE because we feared UAE would send the chips to China.
Corruption has consequences.
I don’t repost stuff like this often. But the point that if we instinctively trusted women more than we trusted men — something borne out pretty well over time — we would be better off, is very difficult to contest at this point in human history.

Let’s remember that Biden-Harris had the most robust antitrust administration perhaps in American history; pushing back against the corporate state in a way we haven’t seen since Clinton created the Corporate Democratic wing.
Media oligarchs don’t care about truth. They care about profit.
