@TonyLaneNV Why does X think this type of video is “For me”? This is sick.

THIS IS UNREAL…
A man reportedly bypassed security at an airport in Italy and ran onto the runway… straight into the engine of a plane preparing for takeoff.
Over 150 passengers were on board as this happened in real time.
Flights were halted, the aircraft was damaged, and the entire airport had to shut down operations.
A shocking moment that left travelers and crew in disbelief.
How does someone even get past security like this?
Thoughts? ⬇️ 🇺🇸

@dmoonglampers_ @SaycheeseDGTL Ideally, prisons are there for rehabilitation. Punishment without repair breeds recidivism.
English

@SaycheeseDGTL while one hand i think this guy should be executed, on the other i do agree that this idea where prisons are some sort of psycho criminal free-for-all is fucking stupid. they are there to be punished, not to enjoy themselves committing more crimes.

@reel_sober @zerohedge And then watch your already taxed money get taxed again when your kid withdraws from the account. A 529 is a better vehicle for your children. Can be converted to a Roth IRA
English

@zerohedge If you have kids, I don't know why you wouldn't do this even if they don't qualify for the 1k deposit. My kid's were too old for the 1k, but I still signed them up for the account. Max out your annuals, let compound interest go to work, and let the account ride.

@DTAPCAP @shanaka86 Calling Israelis “lunatic terrorists” is harsh, but I can’t say you’re wrong. Say more Dan.
English

@shanaka86 Nonsense.
Global coalition of 40 countries should assume control of systemtically important piece of geography for the planet.
Being held hostage by lunatic terrorists cannot be the way forward.
They've lost the responsibility imbued upon them. They lost right to that land.

BREAKING: The Strait of Hormuz is no longer closed. It is no longer open. It is something the world has never seen before: a permissioned corridor run by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, priced at $2 million per vessel, payable in yuan.
Three ships transited in the last 24 hours. Three. Out of a pre-war average of 60 per day. Total throughput: 310,000 deadweight tonnes. Three percent of normal. Four hundred vessels are waiting outside the strait right now. One hundred and fifty tankers. One hundred and twenty bulk carriers. One hundred and thirty others. Waiting for permission from the IRGC Navy to enter a 5-nautical-mile channel between Larak and Qeshm islands inside Iranian territorial waters.
This is how the gate works. A vessel operator contacts approved intermediaries with IRGC connections, submitting full documentation: IMO number, ownership chain, cargo manifest, destination, crew list. The intermediaries forward the package to the IRGC Navy’s Hormozgan Provincial Command for sanctions screening, cargo alignment checks that prioritise oil over all other commodities, and geopolitical vetting. The toll is approximately $2 million per tanker. For a VLCC carrying 2 million barrels, that is $1 per barrel. Preferred currency: yuan. If the vessel passes, the IRGC issues a clearance code and route instructions. Upon approach, VHF radio hail, AIS verification, patrol boat escort. One ship at a time. Through the narrowest channel of the most important waterway on Earth.
Iranian crude is still flowing. Approximately 1.1 to 1.5 million barrels per day, mostly to China, at near pre-war levels. Iran’s own oil transits the strait it controls. The blockade applies to everyone else. Iran is simultaneously the gatekeeper and the primary beneficiary. The toll funds the IRGC. The IRGC maintains the gate. The gate generates the toll. The circle is self-sustaining.
Now look at what is NOT transiting. Fertiliser. Gulf nations supply 49 percent of the world’s exported urea. Ammonia requires the natural gas that Qatar declared Force Majeure on and that Iranian strikes disrupted at South Pars. Effectively zero fertiliser vessels have received approval through the permissioned corridor. The IRGC is prioritising oil because oil generates revenue. Fertiliser does not. The molecules that feed four billion people are trapped behind a gate that only opens for molecules that fund the gatekeeper.
The yuan preference is the structural shift that outlasts the war. Every tanker that pays in yuan instead of dollars establishes a precedent. Every precedent weakens the petrodollar architecture that has governed energy trade since 1974. The IRGC is not just blocking a strait. It is building an alternative payment rail under live fire. The $2 million toll in yuan is not a fee. It is a proof of concept for a post-dollar energy settlement system, stress-tested in the most extreme conditions imaginable: a three-front war with the world’s largest military.
The world’s central banks are trapped by the same strait: the Fed cannot cut, the ECB is hiking, the BOJ is tightening. Six countries are rationing fuel. Japan’s 10-year yield hit a 27-year high. Slovenia has QR codes at the pump. South Korea is barring government vehicles one day per week. And behind all of it, 400 ships wait outside a 5-nautical-mile channel for a clearance code from the IRGC Navy, payable in a currency that is not the dollar.
Twenty percent of the world’s oil supply. Controlled by a VHF radio call and a yuan transfer. The strait did not close. It changed ownership.

@MarioNawfal This is the result of decades of economic embargo on Cuba by the United States
English

🚨🇨🇺 This is the result of nearly 7 decades of communism in Cuba.
The dream was a utopia of equality.
The reality involves rampant prostitution, heaps of uncollected garbage on the streets, and roads not fit for driving on.

The most ridiculous thing I’ve heard in a long time related to the banks. Is that why they debanked so many in the industry? Because they wanted to be treated fairly?

@QuintenFrancois @DeItaone I think Epstein said Trump was his best friend, actually. And lots of pictures of them and even love letters. Condemn both or quit your yapping.

@MarioNawfal The argument here is stupid. ID requirements to work are driven by federal labor laws. Voting requirements aren’t even in the purview of the mayor of NYC.

🇺🇸 Sen. John Kennedy humiliated Mamdani:
“Zohran Mamdani must think there’s an award for being stupid.
If you’re required to show 2 forms of ID to shovel snow in NYC, what’s wrong with showing your ID to vote?”

Monday evening ops update:
An official END OF STORM has been declared for 4:30pm! Property owners, that means you must shovel your sidewalk by 8:30pm, including a four-foot path for wheelchairs and strollers, as well as around any curb ramps, fire hydrants, and unsheltered bus stops that may be in front of your property.
DSNY snow clearing operations are continuing. Our priority is to keep the roadways open, and we know that Staten Island was particularly hard hit. We’ve sent in extra reinforcements.
Emergency Snow Shovelers will continue to be employed. Due to blizzard conditions in the current winter storm, pay for this weather event starts at $30 per hour. Want to register? Walk into a Sanitation garage, no appointment needed, from 9:00 AM-8:00 PM. Get more info here: on.nyc.gov/49rUqyP
Collection will be delayed during snow operations. If you have Tuesday recycling, please HOLD your material if you can. We will prioritize trash and compost once collection resumes. Stay tuned for further updates. (If you receive alleyway collection: alley service is suspended this week; your material should be placed curbside.)
If you must travel tonight, please do so safely and carefully.
