BREAKING: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Ismael Baqaei: “The U.S. destroyer, which attempted to cross the Strait of Hormuz without permission today, has started moving in the opposite direction after a firm warning by the Iranian Armed Forces’

Huge! US warships have crossed the Strait of Hormuz today! 🔥 Trump says they are clearing the mines, but the implications are monumental. Iran’s imaginary control over the Strait just evaporated. Next: Ships in the Persian Gulf to be freed. And then… ground invasion?

A Swedish Prof. created a fake paper with fake disease "Bixonimania", to test how LLMs will react on this new disease. Within weeks of uploading paper about the eyes condition, major AI systems began repeating the invented condition as if it were real. Even more troublingly, the fake papers were then cited in peer reviewed literature with some researchers are relying on AI generated references. Microsoft Bing’s Copilot was declaring that “Bixonimania is indeed an intriguing and relatively rare condition”. Google’s Gemini was informing users that “Bixonimania is a condition caused by excessive exposure to blue light” and advising people to visit an ophthalmologist. Perplexity AI answer engine outlined its prevalence — one in 90,000 individuals were affected. OpenAI’s ChatGPT was telling users whether their symptoms amounted to bixonimania. Now since the fake papers came out in news, some versions of major LLMs have become sophisticated enough to express suspicion about bixonimania.

Sorry, but uncertainty principle disqualified singularity since 1. certainty of position renders momentum undeterminable, 2. Planck dimensions don't allow measurements or uncertainties smaller than Planck scales, thus making depictions, resolutions impossible.

US unilaterally dictates 'no nukes' terms, leaving no wiggling room for IR input/debate. Issue is simply not on table. Discussions involve dictated terms not any bargaining. Apr 11 talks in PK will focus on regional security, not uranium. Aim is to solidify fragile ceasefire.

They won't negotiate nuclear issues. It's not negotiable. Mandated. Dictated. No nukes period. Nothing to talk about. Entire matter is dictated by US. They have no say in matter. No place to express any opinion on it.

The New York Times reported on April 10, citing US officials, that Iran has been unable to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz because it cannot locate all of the naval mines it laid in the waterway and lacks the capability to remove them. The IRGC used small boats to plant mines haphazardly during the early weeks of the war. Many locations were never recorded. Some mines have drifted from their original positions. Iran does not have a complete map of what it put in its own water. When Foreign Minister Araghchi said on April 8 that safe passage through Hormuz would be possible “with due consideration of technical limitations,” US officials now confirm he was not being diplomatic. He was being literal. The technical limitation is that Iran mined its own strait and lost track of where the mines are. Iran published a chart on April 9 through Tasnim and ISNA showing a large circle marked “danger zone” covering the standard shipping lanes, with two alternative IRGC-controlled routes around Larak Island. This is the chart of a country directing traffic around its own weapons because it cannot guarantee the weapons will not detonate under the traffic it is trying to collect tolls from. The toll system, the IRGC coordination, the escort protocol, the VHF passcode, all the infrastructure built to monetize the chokepoint exists because Iran cannot simply reopen the chokepoint. The tollbooth is not leverage. The tollbooth is a workaround for a self-inflicted minefield. Richard Meade, editor-in-chief of Lloyd’s List, described the situation during an April 10 webinar: “As of this morning, the Strait of Hormuz remains both open and closed, depending on your position, both geographically and geopolitically. It is, if you like, Schrödinger’s Strait.” Traffic on April 10 stood at 7 to 18 ships per day, with only 2 to 4 tankers, against a pre-war baseline of roughly 140 daily. Over 1,000 vessels are queued outside the strait, including 187 tankers carrying an estimated 172 million barrels of stalled crude. The backlog alone would take weeks to clear even if every mine vanished overnight. And the capacity to clear mines does not exist on either side. The US Navy decommissioned its last dedicated Avenger-class minesweepers before the war. It now relies on Littoral Combat Ship mine countermeasures modules that have never been tested at this scale. The Royal Navy withdrew its last mine countermeasures vessel, HMS Middleton, from the Gulf in early 2026 and transported it home on a heavy-lift ship because it could not make the voyage under its own power. The West dismantled its mine-clearing capability months before the war that required it. Trump demanded “complete, immediate, and safe opening” of the strait as the ceasefire condition. Vance is flying to Islamabad to negotiate terms that require a physical outcome neither side can deliver. Iran cannot find the mines. The US cannot sweep them. The UK sent its last minesweeper home on a cargo ship. And the ceasefire that was supposed to reopen 20 percent of the world’s oil supply is hostage to weapons that are drifting silently through a strait that nobody fully controls. The most honest phrase in the entire ceasefire was “technical limitations.” It just took the New York Times to decode what it meant. The mines are still there. The talks start tomorrow. And 20 percent of the world’s oil is waiting on a map that does not exist. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

The math on this feature is more insane than people realize. 55% of all websites are in English. Only 16% of the world speaks English. That means 5 billion people have been locked out of the majority of the internet's content for 30 years. Not partially locked out. Completely. X just flipped that switch for 600 million monthly users overnight. Every Korean post now reaches Americans. Every English post now reaches Japan. The algorithm doesn't care what language you wrote in anymore, it only cares whether the content is good. That changes the distribution math for every creator on the platform. Here's the second-order effect nobody's pricing in. If language no longer filters who sees your post, the talent pool for going viral just went from ~350 million English speakers on the platform to the entire user base. A developer in Lagos and an engineer in Osaka are now competing for the same eyeballs as someone in San Francisco. The best ideas win regardless of what keyboard you typed them on. Google had Translate for 18 years and never made it automatic and native to a social feed. The technology existed. The product decision didn't. X made the product decision.

The US has come to the limits of their power. They can damage more of Iran, but Iran will just keep firing back. Soon there will be mid-terms and Trump has to explain the forever war and a $6 gallon. A weaker party can win indeed, if the stronger party has an Achilles heel.

Radical activists claimed the Alamo is an Islamic building. Now they’re lobbying Texas to insert fake Islamic history into our kids’ classrooms. I just sent a letter demanding the SBOE reject this revisionist garbage. Texas history is not up for rewriting. dailywire.com/news/one-of-am…

According to Iranian sources, Tehran’s delegation in Islamabad appears deliberately structured as more than a diplomatic mission: alongside FM Araghchi are Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, SNSC-defense heavyweight Ali Akbar Ahmadian, Central Bank Governor Hemmati, plus security, military, legal and parliamentary figures. - If confirmed this looks like a full spectrum negotiating team, diplomacy, security architecture, and sanctions, economic files all under one roof. #Iran #Iranwar

Mr. Orban, you are not a patriot. You are just a useful idiot of Russia and China.
