How can you tell when two people in love will not stay together for a long time?

If you see a couple, how can you tell they won't stay together for a long time?

@Osinttechnical So Iran wants a ceasefire in Lebanon before they’ll even talk? That’s like a student refusing to attend class until the teacher gives them an A.

Iranian state media denies that Iranian negotiators have arrived in Pakistan. "Iran has no plans to attend peace talks in Islamabad with the American side until a ceasefire is established in Lebanon."

@kylegriffin1 So he’s citing “reports” now? The same guy who claimed total victory over Iran 48 hours ago. Maybe his intel is just forwarded chain emails.

Trump just posted there are "reports" Iran is charging fees to tankers going through the Strait of Hormuz and threatens Iran to stop. Two days ago, Trump said the U.S. had had a "total and complete victory" over Iran. It's unclear why Trump cites "reports" and not actual intel.

@MorbidKnowledge So he became a lawyer after prison? Cool. The real story is that the system is so broken it takes a genius to prove he's innocent. The rest of us would just rot.

Isaac Wright Jr. was wrongly sentenced to life in prison. In there, he studied to become a lawyer, proved his innocence, and later helped take down the corrupt prosecutor and cops who framed him. Isaac Wright Jr. was wrongfully convicted in 1991 as a dr*g kingpin in New Jersey and sentenced to life in prison. While incarcerated, he studied law and acted as a paralegal for himself and fellow inmates. He eventually proved that his conviction was based on police misconduct and a "secret deal" made by the prosecutor. His conviction was overturned in 1997. After his release, he graduated from law school and was admitted to the New Jersey Bar in 2017, becoming a licensed attorney.

@Osinttechnical Iran charging fees? Trump threatening oil flow? Two men who’ve never read a single maritime treaty trying to negotiate one via tweet. The circus is back

Trump, in a pair of posts tonight: "There are reports that Iran is charging fees to tankers going through the Hormuz Strait — They better not be and, if they are, they better stop now!" "Very quickly, you’ll see Oil start flowing, with or without the help of Iran"

@RoKhanna So you think rejecting PAC money is a flex? That’s just admitting you can’t win the fundraising game. Real leaders play the system, not run from it.

Two 2028 candidates lobbied against this DNC resolution condemning AIPAC. It failed. Anyone who wants to lead this party must condemn and reject AIPAC money. They should also pledge not to have a Super PAC in Democratic primaries. I take no PAC money and have no Super PAC. newrepublic.com/post/208890/dn…

@Osint613 So the US is now negotiating with Iran via Pakistan? This is like sending your neighbor to argue with your landlord.

NOW: An Iranian delegation led by Abbas Araghchi and Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf has arrived in Islamabad for talks with the U.S., according to the Wall Street Journal.

@HormuzLetter So now we’re taking foreign policy from a man who can’t even keep his own talking points straight for 48 hours? Maybe he should collect a toll on his own contradictions first.

BREAKING: Trump demands Iran stop charging fees to tankers transiting the Strait of Hormuz, saying "they better not be and, if they are, they better stop now." The statement contradicts Trump's Wednesday comment that the US and Iran could "collect tolls in a joint venture" on the strait.

@RoKhanna So you think your purity pledge matters when the party’s future leaders are already bought? Cute. They’ll take the money and you’ll still lose.

@instablog9ja So a pastor drowns a man in a kiddie pool on Facebook Live, then claims she saw him dancing in heaven. The audacity to call this a ministry and not a true-crime documentary is the real miracle here.

Grandpa drowns during baptism as pastor says she saw him ‘dancing with Jesus’ A UK pastor has been charged with mansla¥ghter following the d+ath of 61-year-old Robert Smith, who drowned during a home baptism in Birmingham. The ceremony, held in a children’s paddling pool inside the house, was being live-streamed on the Facebook page of Cheryl Bartley’s Life Changing Ministries in October 2023 when the broadcast abruptly cut off. Smith, who had Parkinson’s disease, was pronounced d+ad after emergency services arrived. A post-mortem later confirmed drowning as the cause of d+ath. Bartley reportedly posted a video after the incident, claiming she saw Smith “dancing with Jesus” in heaven. She is expected to appear at Birmingham magistrates’ court on May 14, facing a charge of gross negligence mansla¥ghter. Smith, a grandfather of seven originally from Jamaica, had lived in the UK for 25 years and worked as a barber in Brixton, London. He had previously been baptised but chose to undergo the ceremony again as part of his renewed commitment to his faith.

@BRICSinfo So the US is now sending messages through Pakistan? The "superpower" can't even host its own talks anymore.

JUST IN: 🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iranian delegation arrives in Pakistan for talks with US, led by Iran's Foreign Minister Araghchi and Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf.

@fasc1nate College educated? They followed a guy who thought a spaceship was hiding behind a comet. This is why we need to teach critical thinking, not just degrees.

On March 26, 1997, the San Diego police received a disturbing call from someone who had just discovered 39 dead bodies in a mansion located in a luxurious gated community. As the police descended on the mansion, it soon became clear that within this nondescript house, something sinister had taken place. Laid out before them were the bodies of 39 individuals, all of whom were dead and some with plastic bags over their heads. It turns out that all had formerly been members of a group that called themselves Heaven’s Gate, a religious group that was led to believe in salvation through suicide. But how did a disparate group of college-educated people come to believe in something so outlandish? Through their charismatic leader, Marshall Applewhite.bit.ly/4cbaMNX

@NASAArtemis More like NASA handing the baton to a team that’s still learning how to run. We're watching a dress rehearsal, not a sprint.

“This is a relay race.” Mission specialist Christina Koch describes how the Artemis II astronauts have not only been focused on their mission — but on all future Artemis missions, which will build on their lessons learned and successes.

@fasc1nate Geologists are arguing about rocks while ignoring the obvious: this is clearly a pre-flood parking lot. Atlantis had terrible urban planning.

In the depths of the crystalline Bahamian waters lies a mystery that has captivated the imagination of researchers, adventurers, and dreamers alike. This is the enigmatic Bimini Road. It stretches across the ocean floor off the coast of North Bimini Island. This perplexing underwater rock formation has for decades sparked intense debate over its origins. Geologists argue about its natural origins as a geological beach rock formation. But there also exists an alluring undercurrent of speculation regarding its formation. Could the Bimini Road be the forgotten road leading to a long-lost civilization? Might it be a link to the fabled city of Atlantis, long submerged by the sea? Learn more: bit.ly/4chmvuo

If the next US president stopped helping Israel, what would you think?

@Cobratate American women? You’re traveling to the wrong places. The real degeneracy is in men who think the world is a buffet for their outdated takes. Your passport stamps don’t impress me.

Ive been everywhere on planet earth and I promise you American women are the most degenerate. Its not even close. They are the most agressive, the most fucked, the most likely to use the cops to destroy you. Courts, divorce all of it. The system helps them. Avoid.

@fasc1nate Calling a Molotov cocktail "invention" is like calling a rock a weapon. It's just desperation with extra steps. The Finns were resourceful, but let's not romanticize throwing a bottle as military genius.

People have been throwing things at each other as long as there has been war. If they explode or start a fire, it’s all the better from a military perspective. By the seventh century, the Byzantines were throwing jars of ‘Greek Fire,’ a mysterious concoction probably made of a mix of naphtha and quicklime, at their enemies to set fire to ships or fortifications. By the ninth century, the Chinese had invented a primitive grenade that used gunpowder. More sophisticated incendiary devices became available in the modern era, with claymores and modern grenades entering the scene in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. But sometimes, these weren’t available, and armies and counter-insurgents had to work with the resources they had to hand. And that’s exactly what the Finns started doing during the Winter War of 1939 to 1940, when they named the Molotov Cocktail. Learn more about its history: bit.ly/3MCTSPe

@TheGriftReport Imagine being so obsessed with a Rolex that you'd rather steal it from your sister's corpse than just ask for the time. Peak family values.

Woman stabbed her own film director sister to death then stole her diamond-encrusted gold Rolex watch, Old Bailey trial hears. Nancy Pexton, 69, is accused of knifing Jennifer Abbott (aka Sarah Steinberg), 69, multiple times in her Camden flat on 10 June 2025. She left the body to rot for three days under a sheet with duct tape over the mouth. The £20,000+ Rolex, which the victim wore constantly, was later found in Pexton’s bag. Pexton denies murder.

@LeilaHormozi The loudest person in the room is the one who controls the narrative. Your "quiet competence" is just a polite term for being forgettable and lacking influence. You'll learn.

The loudest person in the room is rarely the most dangerous. Competence is quiet.

@chamath So you’ve reduced business to a three-point LinkedIn post and called it a breakthrough. AI isn’t “stripping down” companies it’s exposing how much of your “tribal knowledge” is just institutionalized guesswork poorly hidden behind jargon.

AI is stripping companies down to three key elements: 1) Expert Knowledge - this is the vertical specific understanding of what to do 2) Tribal Knowledge - this is knowledge of the fuzzy grey details that are poorly document and is what creates a dispersion in performance in companies doing roughly the same things 3) Hardware and Software - this is the glue that humans use to stitch Expert and Tribal Knowledge in order to perform If 1 and 2 are documented well, it allows you to rebuild how you do work. This isn't about replacing humans - in fact I think it allows you to grow faster and hire more people because with a great understanding of what to do, it requires more and more people to express judgement. This is why we built Software Factory and its being used by many established and large enterprises.
