@Logically_JC You mean...Zuckerberg Island?

I never spent any time in the Metaverse, and I feel really good about that.

@JohnLoc18 I tried to screenshot SPY as it went up and down through 666.66 the other week, it took me about 10 minutes.

Bitch it’s nearly impossible to sell exactly at $300,000 then take a screenshot.

@acnewsitics Watching them go from 'Gas Price Outrage' to 'Patriotic Pump Markup Serenity' is even funnier.

Watching Trumpers go from anti-war to pro-war is HILARIOUS.

@SJosephBurns So you're saying, keep it neat, don't add water?

This market is going to drive some people to drink. Stay strong.

@WeTheBrandon Two weeks is the right timeframe. Team Trump are getting increasingly anxious/unstable about "not controlling the narrative" for 1m badly thought thru or ideological reasons, and won't be able to stop themselves from a course of action that they'll still be unpicking in 10 years.

There is no doubt in my mind that Trump is readying to deploy Marines. We are going to have a ground incursion in as soon as two weeks.

@ZackMorrison18 That gets you about 40 Iranwar Days.

It’s insane what that $80B could have done in the real world.

@carlquintanilla @TIME IIRC, 1/4 of all that debt was accumulated under Trump.

“.. Since the President’s inauguration last year, national debt has climbed by around $2.8 trillion.” @TIME time.com/article/2026/0…

@Acyn So getting Mexico to pay for the wall was a test run eh?! How did that work out for ya?

Perry: I would actually like to see Iran pay for this, whether it's 20 billion or 200 billion whatever it is Collins: You want to see whatever the Pentagon asks for be offset by Iran? Perry: We have to pay for this somehow. We don’t have endless money. We have to be responsible in how we spend our money.

@KobeissiLetter "The entire global economy just took a complete 180 degree turn in 3 weeks." and the people that made that happen will make out like bandits.

This is absolutely insane: The world is quite literally facing what appears to be the largest energy crisis in history. US crude oil futures are now trading at a $20+/barrel DISCOUNT to Brent, also one of the largest on record. As the US increases production and taps into reserves, the EU is facing a full out energy crisis. European natural gas prices are up another +30% today and physical crude oil prices in Oman and elsewhere are trading at $150+/barrel. In other words, the gap between Oman and US prices now stands at ~70%, or ~$70+ per barrel. It has become so bad for Europe that the market is now pricing-in 2 interest rate HIKES in 2026, even as the US removes sanctions on Russian oil. US rate cuts in 2026 are almost entirely priced-out as a result with Core PPI inflation on PRE-WAR data rising to its highest since February 2023. The entire global economy just took a complete 180 degree turn in 3 weeks. The next few months are going to be historic.

@MarketMike I was at my first job out of University at a brokerage in London in 1987 on Black Monday. Even now I can remember the panic.

Turn your volume up for this one. This is real audio from the S&P 500 futures pit at the CME during the Flash Crash of 2010. On May 6, 2010, markets were already having a rough day, down over 300 points on worries about the Greece debt crisis. Later, the bottom fell out. The Dow dropped another 600 points in about 5 minutes. Nearly 1,000 points gone on the day. About 9%, kaboom. Then 20 minutes later, most of it came right back. This clip never gets old.

@aleksbrz11 That sounds like Qatari for "Stop this nonsense now!"

🚨BREAKING NEWS Qatar Gas CEO : We incurred a $20 billion loss at the facility we built for $26 billion two years ago.

@RippleXrpie Man that's funny. It's inevitable that they already have it all, but the half-reveal is just cinema. Victor Gao always entertaining.

🚨NO FKN WAY, CHINA HAS THE EPSTEIN FILES!!?? 🤯 🇨🇳 Chinese lawyer - Victor Gao claims that China might now have access to the entire unredacted Epstein files. “Now it's the perfect time to fully reveal the details of Jeffrey Epstein’s activities and everyone who was involved with him.”

@DeanObeidallah It self heals. If you're MAGA and you DON'T like the war, then you aren't MAGA any more. Same with any issue. So it's almost always 100% MAGA support.

As I stated on MSNOW: There is no rift in MAGA base over Iran war. Polls show 90% of MAGA support war. Trump campaigned against wars but MAGA will support whatever Trump wants. That's the real story bc it reminds us MAGA is a FASCIST movement. Their only ideology is loyalty to Trump!

@covie_93 DOGE = Data Of Government Extraction

What was the purpose of DOGE???

@esjesjesj Is it a coincidence that Ana Mostarac is an anagram of Sarcomata, the plural for connective tissue cancers?

Wha kind of person views the world like this

@AzPetrich Or "Tan Suit" Gate? Oh, the Humanity!

Do you guys remember when President Obama quit smoking cigarettes because it was "unbecoming of a president?" God, I miss the days when there were things that were unbecoming of a president. 😑

@JoelMCurzon Web AI searches are the worst oddly. I'd almost pay to have a mechanism to turn them off so I can see actual people's web pages with facts on them again.

I still have never deliberately used AI for anything. I still do searches, and unfortunately, that now usually uses AI (and provides worse results than previous non-AI search algorithms). I resent it. AI is an environmental catastrophe. Stop using it to create slop, please.

@svpino Perhaps the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect at work?

Claude is the perfect complement for me: Whenever I have a question I can't answer, I ask Claude, and it gives me the perfect answer every time. But as soon as I ask Claude something I do know, the answer is usually horseshit.

@aryanlabde It's like building a car by continually asking a guy down the pub questions on how to do each bit. You might get something finished...but when it doesn't run you'll have no clue why.

Hot take: Vibe coding only works well if you already know how to code.

@unusual_whales Of COURSE they are...

BREAKING: The Trump administration is pushing to loosen the capital restrictions put in place after the 2008 financial crisis, per WSJ
