10/ All of this was totally foreseeable. Frankly, it’s why previous presidents weren’t so stupid to start a war like this.

Trump has lost control of the war. His best course now is to cut his losses and end it. That’s the only way to prevent an even bigger disaster.

Every article I'm reading about the possibility of the Netanyahu video being AI is saying it's been debunked citing GROK. What kind of dystopian nightmare are we living in when we use AI to debunk AI? Is Netanyahu alive? Probably, I just wish we had human reporters to tell us what's really going on

If we nationalized the oil industry in the United States we could end homelessness, have free college, AND have universal child care with $75,000,000,000 left over.

Until today I had never seen someone sweat through their suit jacket. If I didn't know any better I would guess Jake Paul is on some kind of controlled substance

Are there people who actually believe Donald Trump is not a pedophile? I get that certain people choose to look the other way, but we all KNOW right?

Almost feels like the Iranians are directly responding to US news and media and markets with this - as if they saw the conspicuous underreaction too and thought “no, we need to demonstrate how easy this is for us”

Maybe I'm a little fragile of late, but this season of The Pitt is breaking me. Finished episode 6 twenty minutes ago and I'm still crying.

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.

Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

You know how @maddow.bsky.social says ignore what they say and watch what they do? Why haven't stock and commodities traders learned that lesson?

I don't know how he does it, but @frankturner.bsky.social always seems like he's singing directly to me, or for me. I just listened to "The Next Ten Years" and the whole frickin album was EXACTLY what I needed today.

About 30% to 40% of the world's total chemical fertilizer and nutrient supplies pass through the Strait of Hormuz, with urea specifically accounting for roughly 30% of global trade. This critical waterway, serving as the main exit for Persian Gulf producers, also carries nearly 50% of global sulfur exports and 20% of traded ammonia

Oil prices are one thing, but what about the famine

So the reality that we have a christian nationalist secretary of war with nuclear armed submarines in the Persian Gulf who is trying to bring about the rapture and a senile president too stupid to stop him just hit me and I'm having a little bit of a panic attack.
