Spicy American

@_InfoGram_ And the beginning of the American millennium

BREAKING: 🇫🇷 France just said that this war is basically the end of the American century.

@EricLDaugh Just for consistency, once again, I’d like to point out that the UN is retarded.

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump takes huge VICTORY LAP after the climate change "experts" at the United Nations announce they were WRONG "GOOD RIDDANCE! After 15 years of Dumocrats promising that “Climate Change” is going to destroy the Planet, the United Nations TOP Climate Committee just admitted that its own projections (RCP8.5) were WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!" "For far too long Climate Activism has been used by Dumocrats to scare Americans, push horrible Energy Polices, and fund BILLIONS into their bogus research programs." "Unlike the Dumocrats, who use Climate Alarmism nonsense to push their GREEN NEW SCAM, my Administration will always be based on TRUTH, SCIENCE, and FACT! President DONALD J. TRUMP" This was one huge FRAUD. Never fund the green scams again! 🔥

@jasreese007 @14froger14 @buperac Grip strength: South Asian/Indian men avg ~38kg (studies). White/European women ~28-35kg. Men stronger overall, but ethnic diffs (Europeans higher). Wide individual overlap. See PURE study & UK Biobank.

@14froger14 @buperac Wait.... what?

This is literally every gym in Edmonton as well. If you work out any time past 5am all you get is an ab exercise from constant dry heaving due to their smell.

@milkers Who's she?

bro i looked once and lost focus immediately 😵

@DonMark1990 @milkers @grok Breckie Hall

@milkers @grok Whats her Name?

@CyberMikeOG Hey @grok, how many head on collisions happen each year, and what are the chances similar to what other dangerous activity?

If you want the safest vehicle for your family, you get a Cybertruck. If you love your children, you get a Cybertruck. If you hate your family, you get one of those other trucks.

@gman5180 Give him a round trip ticket to Mexico, with an express lane for citizenship, we need more people who actually work like him.

This guy is IN TEARS because he's been here for 20 years. He says he works hard, pays taxes and doesn't get into trouble. "This is my home, I love this country! I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK TO MEXICO!" What advice would you give to him and others in this situation?👇

@EthanLevins2 Because you don’t strangle your best customer!

Chinese Oil Tankers are passing the Strait of Hormuz daily. The U.S. hasn't said a word about it. Superpower status.

@JesterJum Do Ex-wives count? Throat punches authorized? Can I do it for less? Yup!

Would you punch your significant other in the face as hard as you can for $100,000,000? BUT you cant tell them why until 7 days after you do it

@fire_starter457 You’re assuming anything the news reports is accurate?

It's been over a month, and we still don't know the name of that "downed F-15 pilot" who fractured his leg, yet managed to scale a mountain, walk 110 miles, and evade a brigade of Iranian troops, until the CIA could use an elaborate device that can hear human heartbeats 40 miles away to locate him. We don't know what he looks like, or where he is now.

@airmainengineer Did the T-1000 walk into frame halfway through this video?

This is a landing you would not want to be in the cabin 🥴✈️

@RealScottRitter Iran is led by a bunch of blowhards with with no power, what else would they do?

The fact that Iran doesn’t preemptively strike the US, Israel and its Gulf Arab allies at this juncture is beyond me. There is no ceasefire—the US blockade is an act of war which nullifies any agreement that may have been in place. Moreover, the social media posts of a commander in chief clearly signaling aggressive intent makes preemptive legal under Article 51 of the UN Charter, citing clearly established preemption precedence. The United States is not only led by war mongers and war criminals. We are led by the most ignorant military leaders in history. Who believe their self-induced testosterone laced fantasies over the harsh fact-based truths of reality. Not only will the US lose any future conflict with Iran. We will deserve to lose. Removing the Trump/Hegseth/Bessant/Rubio cabal is necessary for the survival of our Constitutional Republic.

Outstanding rage bait. You’re like the fat guy who says he should only have to pay for one seat on a plane while taking up two seats. Weird that you’ve had problems at the busiest gas stations in the country. I bet if he went to all the gas stations in the country and found problems, you might figure out that you’re the problem.

I HATE F’n Buc-ee’s! Am I the only one consistently running into annoying jerks while @TeslaCharging . Don’t we have bigger problems in the world? RECOMMENDATION. Find a place that wants your business. 500 stops around the country ZERO Problems. 3 Buc-ees stops, 3 problems! That’s not a coincidence!

@shanaka86 Those deep underground nuclear bunkers about to be filling with oil. Good thinking!

BREAKING: Iran has offered Washington a deal through Pakistani mediators to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the war while postponing all talks on its nuclear program to a later stage. Axios reported the proposal late yesterday. Trump’s national security team is reviewing it in the Situation Room today. The headlines are reading this as Iranian sequencing. War end first, sanctions relief, blockade lift, then nuclear later. The structural reading is the opposite. The proposal is not a negotiating posture. It is a confession of physical constraint that the storage math has already settled. On April 26, TankerTrackers published satellite-based open-source intelligence reporting approximately one point zero five billion dollars of Iranian crude forced back to Kharg by US Navy interdictions, with a separate three hundred eighty million dollars seized by the US Coast Guard in the Indian Ocean and diverted toward the United States. CENTCOM’s running tally of redirected vessels rose to thirty-eight on April 27. At Brent prices near one hundred seven dollars per barrel, the implied volume returned and seized sits between thirteen and fourteen million barrels. Kharg’s onshore spare capacity at blockade start was approximately thirteen million barrels. The returned cargoes alone exceed it. Iran’s continued loading of four point six million barrels at terminals on April 24, plus an estimated four million additional barrels exfiltrating dark across the blockade line per TankerTrackers, does not reset the math. It accelerates it. Production runs at three point zero six million barrels per day per OPEC. Refining and domestic demand absorb a fraction. The remainder accumulates with nowhere left to go. NASHA, the thirty-year-old VLCC towed to Kharg as emergency floating storage, was supposed to buy forty-eight hours of buffer. NASHA arrives this week into a system that no longer has the buffer to extend. The reservoir physics now move from theoretical to imminent. Kpler’s April 26 analysis of the Asmari and Bangestan formations notes natural decline rates of four to twelve percent annually without pressure support, fracture-dependent productivity, and the explicit warning that “reservoir performance can deteriorate quickly and, in some cases, irreversibly” once pressure support is disrupted. Vaughn Cordle’s same-day mechanics breakdown on Substack describes the cascade: pressure collapse first, water and gas coning through fracture networks, then matrix compaction permanently reducing permeability around the wellbore. Rystad estimates three hundred thousand to five hundred thousand barrels per day of permanent capacity loss. Iranian field permeability does not recover. The fractures that built the regime’s revenue base accelerate its destruction once the pressure equilibrium fails. This is the trade structure inside the Axios proposal. The IRGC is asking to surrender what its physics no longer permits it to defend, the Hormuz blockade leverage, in exchange for the only thing that can save the reservoirs, an end to forced shut-ins. Nuclear deferral is the price tag attached. Sequencing is the fig leaf. The blockade has won the argument the talks have not yet started. President Trump cancelled the Witkoff and Kushner delegation to Islamabad on April 25 citing the Iranian position. He is reviewing the proposal in the Situation Room today while explicitly maintaining the naval blockade. He is reading the same gauges Tehran is reading. He is letting them fill. The blockade does not need to break Iran. The blockade is letting Iran’s reservoirs do that. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

Ship captain who traveled with Pete Hegseth here. When we toured the nation’s next supercarrier together and sat down to lunch with the crew, every eye in the room tracked Pete. It wasn’t electric. It wasn’t rhetoric. It was reciprocity. Everyone from the seaman recruits to the three-star admiral was locked in, because he wasn’t self-conscious, wasn’t buried in his notes, wasn’t reading off a script. Every person in the room felt seen and heard, even the ones who never said a word. Most journalists take copious notes. I soak in details and run simulations. Or maybe that’s not the journalist in me. It’s the ship captain. We were standing in a cavernous hangar bay and I was already running a flooding scenario. What if the ship heeled hard and water poured into the compartment? I was working it fast: watertight integrity, tie-down points, where the water would pool, where the escape routes were. Then a hand landed on my shoulder. Pete. He pulled me back into the room, and we talked briefly. The guy is watching everything. And not just inside his inner sanctum of four-star GOFOs and PhD advisors like Elbridge Colby. He has rare situational awareness for what the warfighter actually needs. And he’s reading X too. I can’t tell you how often something posted on X with real consequence gets clocked by Pete and processed inside his office. The guy has his head on a swivel.

@BarackObama Yea, just corruption is encouraged.

Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night's shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy. It’s also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day. I’m grateful to them – and thankful that the agent who was shot is going to be okay.

I predict the IRGC will just start letting the oil run out into the Persian Gulf.

@hetmehtaa 0000

i am a cybersecurity guy, scare me with one word

@lulumain2025 @Astrophysicslad The book is significantly different from the movie

@Astrophysicslad That’s ironically the plot of L Ron Hubbard’s novel Battlefield Earth where the Psychlo aliens find out about Earth’s location via the Voyager space probe and promptly invades Earth

Has no one in Hollywood ever explored a movie about the Voyager spacecraft, where an alien civilization discovers the Golden Record, deciphers its messages, and follows it back to Earth to make contact with humanity? That would be absolutely incredible to watch.

@Fahadnaimb Thought they were getting a Ferrari, but got a Fiat.

Australia is retiring its entire fleet of 10 C-27J Spartans after just 11 years in service. The RAAF announced it as part of the new 2026 National Defence Strategy... the planes will be replaced by commercial aircraft for moving people and cargo around the Pacific. No specific type picked yet, though something like an ATR 72 has been floated. Some of the tactical stuff will shift over to the bigger C-130J Hercules fleet, which Australia is expanding. The Spartans had ongoing headaches with maintenance, spare parts, availability rates, and high costs (partly tied to the U.S. FMS process). They never quite hit the mark for battlefield airlift the way they were originally intended. On the flip side, they were really good at humanitarian work... landing on short or rough strips during bushfires and floods where bigger planes couldn’t go. It’s basically a rethink: instead of one versatile but pricey platform, split the jobs between heavy military transports and cheaper civilian options for routine regional support. Makes sense on paper for saving money, but it’s a shame to see them go so soon.
