Who said fucking around on X can't change the world in any meaningful way?

@IterIntellectus @NASA @TerribleMaps You must be a man 🙄

@NASA @TerribleMaps Why don’t you use the obviously shorter and better flight path?

Artemis II launches today so I've mapped out the detailed flight path for those interested NASA won’t show you this level of detail

@Chieftacky14 @GlennWithNx2 @jbrous41 I guess they just freeze the dead and say nothing to nobody. Not yet.

@GlennWithNx2 @jbrous41 I’m telling you bro , think about how massive a conspiracy this would have to be. The morgues, the grave diggers, the local media… not one girl friend saying anything? I think people need to come off the internet a little bit

They clearly got a media blackout on them caskets coming back.

It's legit insane how fucked we are

@CRUDEOIL231 @SherdilTX Bro. The Strait was open and fine just a month ago. This is a total disaster no matter what the US chooses.

@SherdilTX Either swallow your pride and surrender or go all the way to the end. There is no middle ground.

I think way too many ppl are delusional about this idea of letting Iran control the SoH, having the US pull out, and just letting Iran set up a toll booth. Where does Saudi’s power actually come from? It’s not just because they’re rich. Their entire influence comes from being the world’s only swing Producer. We need oil, and Saudi controls that market. If Iran takes over the SoH, they become the most powerful, one of a kind Global Swing Producer in history. If they don’t like the oil price? They can just "adjust" the traffic in a strait that handles ~20mb/d to swing prices however they want. If the UAE gets on Iran’s bad side? "No passage for UAE tankers." If Kuwait tries to build a bypass? "Fine, the SoH is closed starting today. Let’s see if you can finish that bypass—which takes years—without making a single dime." By letting Iran control that flow, the US is effectively making Iran the ultimate energy gatekeeper. The entire regional hegemony shifts to Iran. Saudi and the UAE lose everything. Think about it—if you were MBS, would you let this happen? Let’s say the US pulls out this week. The US started this mess, and now the GCC has to just sit there and watch their power handed over to Iran? Let me give you a reality check for Americans: Imagine Mexico now controls the North American continent. "Want to fly to the UK? Get Mexico’s permission. Want to import jet fuel from Asia? Pay Mexico a toll and take the route they tell you to. Did you dare to criticize Mexico? Now, no container ships can enter your waters. You can’t say a word against the great President of Mexico." It sounds like a fantasy, but that’s the reality for the GCC. If the US tries to run away? If I were the GCC, I wouldn’t let them leave. I’d grab them by the hair and drag them back to clean up the mess they made. I’ve said before that this is an existential issue for Iran and Israel. Well, Iranian control of the SoH is an existential issue for every other GCC nation. And the GCC has leverage. They have massive wealth invested in the West, huge U.S. asset holdings, decades of lobbying networks, and they are the biggest donors for Trump’s terms. And of course they have oil. Do you really think Brent would stay below $100/bbl if the GCC teamed up and cut just 3mb/d for six months? Even the most optimistic guy knows the answer is zero chance. They don't even need a fancy excuse: "Oh, since the US gave up on us and Iran owns the SoH, it's not safe. We have to cut production. Sorry!" Within months, the US would be begging to come back. It’s just pushing the Middle East into an even bigger pit of fire. Thanks for listening to my TED Talk :) #oott #iran

She was older than the state that killed her.

@omgsidewalks It was a lie. so, good it has ended. Men are not special.

women have lost the art of making a man feel special

@jacob__titus Lol... this is exactly where all the psychos with guns and all the desperate ones will run to in a collapse kind of scenario. I'd rather die alone in my desert, by all means.

Buy land in this basin.

capitalism really does function by limiting the human imagination - no other explanation why so many climate collapse understanders believe that private property rights will somehow survive a situation in which vasts parts of the Earth become unlivable

Asymmetric warfare is similar to tail risk. You hit 100 targets; they hit just one and you've lost.

ABSOLUTE GRAPHIC DESIGN

Reintroduce wolves and mountain lions across their former range and they will restore equilibrium. Exploding deer numbers means more ticks and more Lyme disease. It’s so obvious it’s painful pointing it out.

Artemis II crew is thousands of miles away from Earth And they’re asking ground crew for help because they have two versions of Microsoft Outlook open and neither is working This scene is now canon 😭

At this point there is no use for the federal government. They just take from the working class and squander money on genocidal warmongers in Israel. Congress is also effectively useless. The only thing they seem to succeed in is slashing programs that benefit Americans, meaning the very programs WE PAY into.

@AbC967041505 @BiankaB12 Immigrants pay taxes and produce more wealth than they take. No jobs opened for Americans even after all the deportations. The war on immigration is a big scam, the last fairy tale of white nationalism. Capitalism cannot survive without immigration.

MAGA doesn’t seem to grasp what’s happening to them - or what they’re doing to America. Their movement is systematically dismantling the foundations of American power: its alliance system, its supply chains, the dollar’s reserve currency status, and the global trust in its institutions. That’s the very infrastructure that made America the dominant power of the last 80 years. So, unless MAGA is totally and irreversibly destroyed and deep structural reforms prevent another rogue president from taking office, there is no way back. History taught us that this is how empires fall - not from external invasion, but from within. I don't think that institutional resistance to MAGA is coming through impeachment or prosecution. The only cards left to play are engineered failure and manufactured consequences: > Trump promised a booming economy and low inflation. What Americans will get is crushing inflation and an unaffordable life - turning his own voters, especially independents, against him. > Trump promised to end wars. What Americans will get is proliferation of wars, higher military spending, and compounding misery. He promised everything to everyone and the only strategy left on the table is to weaponise those promises against him. With that said, the rest of the world will suffer collateral damage - that’s unavoidable. But the calculus is brutal and I think in 20-30 years, we will realise it was the least worst option: MAGA has become an existential threat to the Western order, and the only way to save said order is to destroy them politically - completely, and permanently. The people that chose to die on that hill - for whatever personal or ideological reason - will have a very tough life regardless of the outcome. Their lives would be shit whether or not Trump & MAGA are destroyed or prevail.

@AbigailJoyFloat @tiredjuul Did these two people get Covid? That would be relevant to know.

@tiredjuul I know 2 people one who has severe Lewy body dementia after getting the Covid vaccines & the other sadly passed away from dementia not long after getting the vaccine.

I don't think enough people know about the study where they infected monkeys with covid and all of them developed Lewy bodies

A rare instance of France doing the right thing: this resolution would effectively launder a US-Israel unilateral war of aggression into a multilateral UN mandate, which is completely egregious. This resolution is the geopolitical equivalent of a rapist asking the police for help to restrain his victim because she's fighting back too hard. Letting it pass would make a complete mockery of everything the UN was supposedly created to prevent.

Now that Artemis II has launched we have 10 days to get everyone on Earth a Planet of the Apes costume so we can do something hilarious when the astronauts return 😁

the stats here are why the airlines have lobbied against this both in canada and america for ages
