I'm not actually a ferret... I think...


Grok is actually better than I thought...wtf


Not a single word or post from U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) in nearly 10 hours, since the first reports of an American F-15E Strike Eagle being downed over Southern Iran.


Quite incredible footage from USAF deep inside over Iran as SAR reportedly continues







France surrendered without even trying. Again. _





"Iran is finished!" "Only 3 to 5 weeks max!" >Marines being deployed >More forces moving into AO >still contested airspace after 1 month of conflict. >one F35 hit by missile (survived thankfully) >one F15 down It's time to end the special 3 day military operation in Iran.



















There is a lot more to the Oracle layoffs than what meets the eye. Trump stood at the White House in January 2025 and said Stargate would create "100,000 American jobs almost immediately." Larry Ellison was standing next to him. This morning, Oracle -- not just a Stargate partner, but the primary builder and physical operator of every Stargate data center -- sent the first of 30,000 of its own workers a termination email at 6 a.m. No manager was looped in. System access was cut on delivery. The email was signed "Oracle Leadership." Here is the part worth sitting with: The 100,000 jobs Trump announced are construction workers. Concrete. Steel. Cooling systems. Temporary site labor across Texas, New Mexico, Wisconsin, Michigan. Real jobs, yes, but they end when the buildings are done. The 30,000 fired today are software engineers, cloud architects, SaaS operators, healthcare IT workers. The people who built the systems those data centers are being built to run. Permanent careers. Gone in a single email before sunrise. Oracle is not struggling. It posted $6.13 billion in profit last quarter. Up 95% year-over-year. It is cutting workers because it owes $248 billion in data center lease commitments that do not appear on its balance sheet. It is cutting workers because it committed to $50 billion in AI infrastructure spending this fiscal year alone. It is cutting workers because the $300 billion OpenAI contract it signed -- the one that made Ellison briefly the richest person on earth -- does not generate revenue until 2027. Bloomberg reported three weeks ago, citing internal Oracle sources, that the cuts targeted "roles the company expects AI to make redundant." The termination email said "broader organizational change." Oracle told 30,000 employees: organizational change. Oracle told Bloomberg: AI. Oracle told investors: the plan is working. Oracle told America: 100,000 jobs. All four are technically true. Oracle's stock was up 5% while the emails were still landing.
