After a 7-year hiatus, India is about to import its first Iranian oil. At ~$100 a barrel. Quite the achievement in Washington for the long-term strenght of the economic and financial sanctions regime.

What fucking isolation? Who will isolate Iran and how will their run their diesel engines?
Project Syndicate@ProSyn
The Iranian regime is trading short-term tactical gains for profound longer-term losses. For a country with a young population and pressing development needs, the opportunity cost of prolonged isolation is massive, Mohammed Al Dhaheri warns. bit.ly/4dQgS8T

whenever you bring this up you get people in the replies saying “but if we had deflation, that would mean everyone could just sit on their money and not spend it ever, and it would gain value all the time!” and it’s like yeah man you’re so close lmao

That you actually want about 2% inflation, not zero and certainly not deflation. Deflation is bad.

The state won’t force a woman to use her body to sustain a pregnancy, but it will force a man to use his body to generate income for 18 years or go to jail.

Boomer relatives visiting still saying stuff like "well hopefully baby twins will turn them off (my older kids) from having kids too soon." They have no idea what time it is.

@lost_nomad__ You're full of shit the Greatest Generation guys beat their wives to death for less than this.

Actually a surprisingly deep topic. It’s similar to how people think Boomers/Silent Gen “touch people too much” or “complain about their wives too much”
In some ways, generations have become more and more 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘦

@lost_nomad__ You’re completely delusional if you think men 100 years ago would have allowed their women to take photos hugging a famous and attractive guy. That whole “security” argument is just an excuse to avoid admitting that millennials are a bunch of simps.

MacKenzie probably sighed when she had to give him duty sex whereas Lauren Sanchez enthusiastically blows Jeff and makes him feel like a Chad.
There. Mystery solved.
Rebekah Jones@GeoRebekah
Men think this is an improvement. MacKenzie Scott, Princeton graduate, writing novels at age six, studied under Toni Morrison, founded Amazon, and one of the biggest philanthropists in the history of humanity. Versus.. whatever the fuck this is.

Why are there no Gen Z sitcoms? Gen X had Seinfeld and Friends; millennials had The Office, New Girl, and How I Met Your Mother. Gen Z has...also The Office

Whatever Israel’s level of popularity is right now is its ceiling, because Israel is going to take a huge part of the blame for the financial crisis and likely recession about to hit us.
And while the global economy is on its knees, Israel will *still* be pushing for the war on Iran to continue. And people will have had more than enough. @AOC breaking against Israel here is a major sign of their weakening position. She tried very hard to find some reasonable middle position that wasn’t full opposition but it just isn’t there with the way Israel behaves.
Drop Site@DropSiteNews
🔴 NEW: AOC commits to oppose all U.S. arms funding for Israel Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she would vote against “any spending on arms for Israel, including so-called defensive capabilities,” during an NYC-DSA candidate forum, according to Peter Sterne, editor at City & State NY. A leading Democratic progressive, she is believed to be a potential contender for the party’s 2028 presidential nomination.

But again, realize that "BAND" has risen for men too!
Framing this as "men are not meeting women's standards" is wrong!
The women are also failing to meet male standards! Which is why "women receiving tons of proposals and declining" is not actually a super common issue!
Patrick T. Brown@PTBwrites
I don't know if BAND ("Best Alternative to No Date") is more/less intuitive than my own offering of "reservation boyfriend", but Yglesias, @_alice_evans and I are circling around the idea that when marriages is no longer the social default the price of relationship entry goes up

War cheerleaders keep claiming the Iranian navy has been completely destroyed.
Does the navy include the speed boats used to mine the strait or explode into tankers?
They also claim the air force has been destroyed.
Does the air force include drones that fly in the air?
