Why was Book Punch's Pong Yat-ming arrested today? "The Troublemaker", @MarkLClifford's Jimmy Lai biography, was published on December 3rd, 2024 and has been available in Hong Kong for a year or so. Is it coincidence that this is Art Basel Hong Kong, so prime artwashing, week?

Even getting amphibs to Kharg island probably means non-zero US combatants severely damaged if not disabled or lost.

Everyone is fixating on the corruption of military insiders enriching themselves with the inside information they have. But that's not even close to the nightmare scenario. The real danger is military insiders *manipulating world events* to win Polymarket bets.
McKay Coppins@mckaycoppins

This story may “raise insider-trading concerns” broadly, but it likely won’t be cause for concern at Polymarket HQ. As I write in my recent gambling story, insider trading is a feature of these platforms, not a bug. theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/…

talking to my friends in the oil industry and at this point they're expecting something to meaningfully break [i.e. some country just runs out of oil] before the market gets it
Javier Blas@JavierBlas

The White House is (truly) winning the oil jawboning battle against Tehran — still to be seen if Trump would win the physical oil market war. But to see Brent trading at sub-$100 a barrel (and WTI below $90) after 25 days of Hormuz almost full closure is almost surreal.

Will note, appears that the Iranians are using FPV swarming tactics, with multiple drones operating together.

When Thailand’s Deputy Finance Minister resigned in 2025, he claimed he only knew fugitive money launderer Benjamin Mauerberger as a casual acquaintance from their kids' school. Leaked photos from his son’s private Instagram tell a different story. 1/8

I’ve seen quite a few videos of Chinese people committing suicides by jumping off tall buildings in China recently. Hopefully that’s not what “Chinese path to happiness” means in the Global Times article published some time ago.
