The conflict with Iran isn’t just going to affect oil prices.
Here is the share of global seaborne commodity flows transiting the Strait of Hormuz in 2025 (imports + exports) #EconSky

Traditional Romanian symbol of spring, the Mărțișor is worn on 1st of March, to celebrate the turning of the season. It has a red and white string and it usually depicts "lucky" symbols: a chimney sweep, a lucky clover or flowers like a snowdrop.

E 1 Martie, azi e zi de Mărțișor si de ales babele!

Today is 1st of March so happy "thank god spring is coming" day to all who celebrate!

I think at least some Americans are aware that Trump's health being what it is, he's as like it as not to shuffle off this mortal coil in the next months, while they'll be left paying the credit card for his foreign adventures for years/generations to come.

Still can't imagine how this ends.

3 major news stories the media would have covered this weekend if Iran hadn't been bombed:
1. Hillary Clinton was summoned to talk to the US congress about Epstein, instead of actual Epstein friends.
2. Tariffs/Inflation
3. Pentagon versus Anthropic on killer robots.

Bombs were inevitable.

Missing Phase 0: pre-bomb stuff in 2025.

This is going to be an early challenge for the Board of Peace to deal with.

Just so we're clear, for Europeans: neither of these companies have any problem with mass *foreign* surveillance. Use any or both Claude and ChatGPT with that full knowledge.

I wonder when it will dawn on the Republican party that president AOC will have access to the same tools that the current president enjoys. Probably by midterms.

Did you trust him before?

Anthropic says it wants in the contract that the US government will not use its AI for mass *domestic* surveillance or bots that can kill without human oversight.
US government says no, and if you don't comply, we will destroy you and proceeds to do attempt to do so.
Then OpenAI says "We'll do it!"🥲

It looks like the US will again "completely obliterate" Iran's nuclear facilities. Just like they did 6 months ago, when the US president needed another distraction from the Epstein files or the economy or whatever.
E ca un film cu prosti / This is a movie with stupid people.

You can't call yourself a Real City until you've had a Royal/Real Palace built.
Although, if Trump keeps going, then Miami might have a real chance.

You can't call yourself a Real City until you've gone through the Plague. And I mean the original one. Although, if RFK keeps going, then Miami might have a chance of achieving that.

This is why you need AI in the Pentagon. With AI you could have this kind of fun all the time! </sarcasm>

Pivot to what now?

Ok, I'll bite. Did she tell them she liked the myrrh candles better than the frankincense ones?

Moment a Russian Shahed is shot down over the Danube during this morning’s attack on Odesa region. Filmed from Romania.

Well, somebody went the extra mile to be a fucking cunt there, so, yeah.

Is it land ownership share?

Never mind, I saw the way the discussion was going. Should have gotten the hint regarding Communism in Russia.

Arms sales?

The real globalists are really the far right. Reading from the same playbook from Eastern Europe to the UK to the US. Singing the same hymns, fighting the same fight, being propped up by the same shitty billionaires, a cabal of people wanting to impose the same rule everywhere.

That, and Eurovision.

The only foreign politics I want to care about is from those penguin islands that were tariffed. The Heard and McDonald Islands.

Not for my tastebuds they don't. Sorry.
