Zohran Mamdani set to break longstanding NYC mayoral tradition and skip the Met Gala: sources trib.al/0fTOE60

It's been more than 45 days since Iran's internet went dark. And the Iranian regime is burning through MILLIONS per day to keep 92 million people offline. Why spend so much to silence your own country? Because when you control the internet, you control the story. When a government won't let its OWN PEOPLE speak, question the narrative the outside world is hearing.

NASA: "We expect a 6-minute blackout during re-entry due to plasma." SpaceX: "Watch this in 4K."

The average couple. Just both mediocre looking, nothing about their entire existences being noteworthy. They work a boring 9-5, drive run of the mill sedans and spend their weekends watching TV. They’ll have 2 kids, a boy & a girl - who will carry on this unremarkable cycle.

i wrote about "earth boys" or "touch grass guys" - a very evan kinori-core movement of guys deeply engaged with small makers (vs big brands) who focus on supply chain, unique materials, and sustainability (but wouldn't call it that, necessarily) maxberlinger.substack.com/p/meet-the-tou…

i dont "love" palestinians more than anyone else, why would i. i do hate the perpetrators of injustice however, and again why wouldn't i.




It is unfortunate that the UN Security Council has once again failed to demonstrate effectiveness and act decisively in the face of such a global threat as the Iranian regime's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. No one should be allowed to block such globally significant sea lanes or undermine the security of dozens of nations through terrorist attacks against the freedom of navigation. We faced a similar challenge in the Black Sea when the Russians attempted to block our ports and civilian shipping—Russia was trying to suffocate our economy. And we found a way to solve that problem through decisive action, not inaction. Now, we see a similar problem on a global scale. The Strait of Hormuz must remain open to all vessels that sustain vital economy lifelines and maintain normal international trade. Countries in the region have spoken clearly on this, and we support the aspirations of the people of the Middle East and the Gulf for peace. Peace and security in this region directly impact stability, market predictability, and the cost of living in every single country. Such problems and this war must not be prolonged. The world needs a functional UNSC that acts more decisively to resolve acute security challenges of global magnitude.

I come across SO many people. They're in my inner circle, semi-inner circle, outer circle, at the gym, fellow parents, people who text the show - I've never had one interaction, let alone conversation (not one - not this year, not last year, not at thousands of Ajax doors), where someone even mildly opined "Canada should join the European Union". Not the most sane person, not the most loony person, not the person that is indifferent to Trump, not the person who despises Trump & can't focus on a single other important thing. I've not had one 10 second convo w/ anyone about Canada joining the EU. So I have no idea who these people are.....deadly serious.
