For Good Things, Against Bad Things
BREAKING: IBM stock, $IBM, collapses nearly -20% after posting weaker than expected earnings due to “weakness in the software and infrastructure business.” The stock just erased -$55 billion in market cap.
From @TheAthleticFC: Developing into a top soccer player requires some degree of privilege in the U.S., as it is expensive. But the primary reason that the U.S. doesn’t produce world-class men’s soccer players boils down to one word: culture. nyti.ms/4fwfXee
Reminder that she had zero gaming experience when she was promoted to run Xbox, and she has zero finance or economic experience now that she's promoted to advise the Federal Reserve. Her one function is to purge white Americans and replace them with Indian cheap foreign labor.
Fahrenheit is superior to Celsius and I’m tired of pretending this is a debate. Fahrenheit feels like temperature was designed by an human being who walks outside, feels the air, and says, “Yeah, that makes sense.” Zero is freezing. 100 is brutally hot. 70 is comfortable. 80 is warm. The numbers feel like what they are describing. Celsius feels like it was designed by a committee of people who hate joy and want every conversation about the weather to sound like a chemistry lab. “It’s 22 degrees outside.” What does that even mean to a normal person? Am I wearing shorts? Am I grabbing a jacket? Nobody knows. You need a conversion chart and a government employee standing next to you explaining the vibes. Fahrenheit gives you range. That’s the point. It gives you more numbers for the temperatures human beings actually live in. You can feel the difference between 68, 72, 76, and 80. Those numbers matter. Fahrenheit lets you describe the world with more precision without having to break into decimals like a lunatic. And here’s the other thing... Celsius is connected to the metric cult energy that came out of the French Revolution. And the French Revolution was evil. Both of the Revolution were to rip out tradition, faith, monarchy, hierarchy, the Church, the calendar, the clock, and anything that reminded man he was not God. CELSIUS IS INHERENTLY EVIL So yes, Celsius may be useful if you’re boiling water in a lab. Congratulations. But Fahrenheit is for living LIFE because Fahrenheit is for walking outside and instantly knowing what kind of day you’re about to have. 100 means hot. 70 means beautiful. Zero means don’t go outside unless you have a death wish. That’s a real system.

Seriously how did anyone think this was a good idea?
🚨WSJ: Iran plans to make billions from reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Iran estimates that security and safety services in the Strait will generate nearly $40 billion a year for the countries involved (Iran and Oman)
The @IEA reckons that UAE reached ~85% of pre-war oil exports in early June (ie, before the MoU was signed) thanks to a combination of bypass pipeline, Fujairah strategic storage and, importantly, dark SoH crossing along the Omani coastline. In early June, IEA puts UAE total oil exports (crude and condensates) at 4.3m b/d, up from 1.9m b/d in March. The chart below is IEA latest view from the Persian Gulf (June is data up to June 15th), showing the recovery, with UAE playing a key role (and obviously KSA via bypass pipeline).
JUST IN: Biologists are growing frustrated as Anthropic’s “safe” Mythos-class model refuses to answer basic biology questions.
