Bombings in Iran raise fears of oil crisis The closure of the Strait of Hormuz and US-Israeli strikes in Iran are reigniting the specter of a surge in crude oil prices. But the global economy is less vulnerable today than it was during the 197...

A week ago, Trump’s envoy to the Middle East (billionaire real estate developer and golf buddy who had no diplomatic experience prior to 2025) said:

Iran is “probably a week away from having industrial grade bomb making material”

He is wrong.

Trump guidelines dictates two weeks as the standard delivery times.

It’s funny how there’s no money
1 for healthcare
2 for education
3 for free school lunches
4 to house the unhoused
5 for SNAP for children

But there is money
1 for ICE
2 to bomb Iran and Venezuela
3 to build concentration camps
4 for luxury planes for Noem
5 for SWAT protection for Alexis

I'm in the camp the distraction is just a temporary side benefit. It's more about extracting value from the conflict. Arms companies, increased oil prices, stock market insider trading.

Happy 60th day of the year...?

It's NOT a distraction, it's according to plan.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

The military industrial complex is cheering today.

This aged well. Note the author.

I’m gonna mute the word “distraction” for the next 72 hours. None of this is a distraction from anything else, the US Government is, and has been, a death cult run by rapists. Every atrocity they commit is its own reward.

We keep looking for sophisticated explanations for the crisis of liberal democracy. Maybe the unsophisticated one — plain misogyny — deserves far more weight than it's been given. Ends

I have, my whole life long, hated people who treat politics like a football game in which they must choose a political team and agree with that team no matter what.

Political decisions are based on facts, not only merely doing the opposite of your opponenets.

Max Landis, Whose Career Imploded During #MeToo, Returns with ‘G.I. Joe’ Movie at Paramount (Exclusive) At the same time, Danny McBride will also be writing a separate 'G.I. Joe' script.

Saw a few people posting their stories of Max Landis doing stupid entitled shit so did a search & what the actual fucking, fuck?

For as long as there are no repercussion, this will continue.

SA is a stark example where everyone is in on the deal. Crime by the comrades, cronies and connected usually means a posting out of the public eye for some time.

The US is going to attack Iran. Maybe not this week. Maybe not next week. But surely by the end of April we will have.
For a while Ive had a strong suspicion the admin doesn’t walk this back and today things just sort of clicked as to *why* it’s inevitable.
Let me explain.

Herodotus wrote “the sword itself incites to violence”. If you always carry a gun, you’re probably sometimes thinking of how you might use it instead of just ordering your fucking coffee and going to work. The capacity to do violence inspires fantasy of doing so.

We got lucky few years ago. Have someone who is a little more expensive, but knows what he is doing. Quick to come fix issues with his work. And no up front deposits. He does about half the work and then bill for that.

You have a discount code for that?

I'm also hesitant.

Our essay style questions they copy paste from a Google search. When you ask to compare X & Y, search isn't helping. LLM you just ask the question & get answers directly.

Identify the THING. But student 1 gets thing 1, student 2 thing 2 etc. Add fill in the blank with the SAME structure, except now you have to type in the answer. We got answers for Q1 at Q2 & vice versa. For unrelated items. With LLM, you can just ask the question & get answers directly.
