@chamath Chamath - NY prohibited fracking but still purchases the gas. Lost jobs. Lost tax revenue. Lost economic growth. Same will happen with data centers. Dumb policy.

Islamic scholar in the UK reveals their plan: "We will transform the UK into an IsIamic state and impose humiliating laws on Christians and other non-Muslims to make them want to convert to Islam." Terrifying.

A whistleblower reveals widespread misconduct at the International Seabed Authority (ISA), implicating Secretary-General Leticia Carvalho. Allegations include ongoing UN investigations, unauthorized staff appointments, financial mismanagement, and a toxic work culture.

@Real_Turley NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Could Trey Gowdy be a good choice to replace Lindsey Graham?

This can't be good...

@ctindale Good stuff. Not necessarily related but have you seen this?: reddit.com/r/Metallium_Li… These guys are going to be huge in my opinion. Take care!

Stop calling them separate crises. Hormuz, Ukraine, Crimea, Taiwan, Philippines, Cuba, Korea, Venezuela, Lebanon “ theatres”. One war, a dozen theatres, and that’s only the geographic ones. Then let’s widen the frame to what the Chinese call it themselves “ unrestricted warfare” . That means war in any domain using any means . And then those domains become theatres too: cyber, chemicals, materials, tungsten, gallium. It’s doesn’t stop there either there are dozens of layers of interlocking complexity All interlocked in ways neither side has fully mapped. Pundits score it for one side or the other. Look closely and it’s fine-tuned and weighted on both. Because both sides are constantly looking for an “ exploit “ of the other . Go even deeper there is state AI working on rival exploit plans of the other . Gamify as a software game in your head . It’ll help you understand how to think about it . I often use the metaphor of conjoined twins choking each other , it’s supposed to infer the futility of human to human rivalry . That is to say ; the complexity between the nation states has got to the point where nobody can prevail but the conjoined twins continue to do so it’s more of a impulse that can’t be stopped.. Maybe I should’ve used the metaphor of millions of conjoined AI twins because we seem to be having rivalry on every field of conflict. All being simulated a billion times in AI Neither can destroy the other without wearing the consequences. And nobody can see the whole board. Not us. Probably not them. Each side is an iceberg to the other , and partly to itself. The balance doesn’t hold because both sides can see it’s balanced. It holds because neither can see enough to be sure it isn’t. Ambiguity is the restraint. That’s the great stand-off , stable exactly as long as nobody believes they can see the whole stage. Nobody knows for sure what’s really going on . Which is the irony because of our conditioning —— we have so many assuring us they know for sure . No they don’t that’s the irony the impulse to claim you do is the delusion. So let’s quote Field Marshall Blainey , great Aussie military thinkers don’t often get much of a run and Blainey was extremely competent . Also Blainey didn’t give a F , he just did him . They called him abrasive just because he thought most folk were tedious . We need more people who couldn’t care less about attention . “ peace is an unresolved measurement problem; war is what happens when the question gets answered” At the moment we have an “ unresolved measurement problem “ Let’s hope it stays that way .

@13WHAM OMG you’re covering Candace Owens. That’s hysterical!

@ctindale @bftd2025 Thanks Craig, good stuff. This is the time to accumulate!

@bftd2025 Yes writing all that up

$MTM Metallium (disclosure I own) I have a bigger essay on the US REE strategy coming out in a few days but for now put them on your radar open.substack.com/pub/thetruscot…

$TMC We have four critical minerals in a single polymetallic nodule: Copper, Nickel, Cobalt, and Manganese. What other mining company can recover all four from one rock? NONE The U.S. government is making its priorities crystal clear. 👇🏼 @themetalsco #DSM #Criticalminerals #copper #REE #metalsprocessing #TMC #Nickel #cobalt #manganese state.gov/virtual-press-…

@ctindale If I’m understanding the process correctly they’d still need off take partner to separate the purified mixed REs from each other. Any idea who that might be? They have a previous agreement w/ Ucore for this type of processing, not sure that applies to the recent Greenbrier deal.
