@conorsen @Rory_Johnston Index is for June or July barrels and not for today.

@Rory_Johnston Ignorant question: Why is brent still only at $96-97 given all this?

@ZacharyDonnini Isn't that less vote for Shawn then Kamala. Maybe it's the story of opposition having less enthusiasm for voting

@jsauhard @me_pragyan I just asked claude to spin a few dozen. Why do you ask?

@ykandel @me_pragyan How many vending machines have u made sir?

@Noahpinion Are you telling me that POTUS just had a dating mishap?

Both men and women have a tendency to get inappropriately pessimistic about dating and romance after bad experiences. But for women, pessimism tends to mean "Sigh, guess I'll end up alone", while for men it's usually "The world is evil and I have to destroy it"

These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken.

@Daractenus Serious answer: most of the 35-40% do not watch news or feeds. They support him for the vibes they once felt - that surreal feeling superior to that immigrant brown doctor. They can only say hell Mary to the guy who gave them that. They are not going to care about anything else.

The fact that some 35% of US adults and nearly the entirety of the Republican Party continue to fanatically support this very visibly insane man that is somehow getting worse by the day is simply unforgivable. What the actual fuck is wrong with all of you?

@agri_dibu Before you go there you have to educate people why lead is really bad even in trace amounts.

म नेपालबाट परम्परागत काँसको भाँडा लिएर आएको थिएँ, तर CDC को रिपोर्ट पढेर अब प्रयोग गर्न डर लागिरहेको छ। न्यूयोर्कमा एक गर्भवती नेपाली महिलाले यस्तै काँस र पित्तल को भाँडा प्रयोग गर्दा उनको, श्रीमान् र बच्चाको रगतमा Lead को स्तर खतरनाक रूपमा बढेको थियो । नेपालमा Lead को अर्को डरलाग्दो स्रोत भनेको बेसार हो। Lead Chromate मिसाएर पहेँलो बनाउने गरिन्छ। नेपालको भान्सामा हरेक दिन प्रयोग हुने बेसारको sample पनि test हुनु अत्यन्त जरुरी छ। नेपालमा यस्ता भाँडा र बेसार दुवैको testing र नियमन गर्ने जिम्मेवारी कसको हो? तुरुन्त testing र कडा मापदण्ड लागू होस्! #LeadPoisoning #FoodSafety

@krishna_joshi01 @chemjongd @sasmitp For (3) they need a pre-populated list of universities for which you are automatically recognized. It should cover 99% of all cases.

Good decision, Dear Minister @sasmitp . 3 absolutely irrelevant processes: 1) NoC (from MoE), 2) Equivalence of one’s degree from abroad, 3)Migration certificate, at ‘Versities in Nepal,have been the pain in neck for the youths. Please initiate the process to scrap all of them.

@ykandel @atlanticesque I want a nuclear plant in my backyard

One of Jane Jacobs' subtler, neater points is that the discomforts of economic growth are self-solving. She used the example of noise. It's fine that cities are noisy. We shouldn't try to make them less noisy through zoning, because that will drive innovation in soundproofing.

@atlanticesque What do you think of a chemical plant at the middle of city ? Not saying we have the right amount of regulations but absolutes don't really work either
