BREAKING Important piece of information. All three major powers, including the US, China, and Russia, are now involved. Pakistan is the main interlocutor. While Pakistan is exchanging messages between Iran and the US, Russia and China have engaged Iran. Over the last 24 hours, China’s foreign minister spoke to his Russian counterpart, while Russia’s foreign minister spoke to his Iranian counterpart. Discussions focused on the proposed “Islamabad Accord.” The involvement of all three major powers means a potential new global order is being shaped! So, the latest peace effort is far more serious with the direct involment of big powers. Iran's public stance aside, it will be difficult for Tehran to explicitly say NO to Russia and China.

💢 Iranian state-linked Tasnim News, citing a military source, claims U.S. forces are bombing areas in southwest Iran where a missing pilot may be located, alleging Washington has “lost hope” of recovery and is attempting to kill him.

Separately, Iranian officials reported U.S.-Israeli strikes and at least 4 killed during the recovery operations: ➤ In Dehdasht, a city in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province in southwest Iran, 4 people were killed and 1 wounded after a telecommunications tower and the Kooh Siah broadcasting center were struck, according to provincial officials. ➤ The site is part of local communications infrastructure, suggesting the strike targeted media or signal capabilities rather than a conventional military base, though authorities said details remain under review.

In what sense is it intellectually dishonest, Nikita? The context is clear. My thesis is: I think your algo surfaces too little quality. And I think your excuses in these back-and-forth exchanges have been validating of that. To your credit, it's clear enough you agree with me.

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

Tucker Carlson: "This is the end of something. You’re watching the end of the global American empire. The unipolar world… is over. Something once great has become unrecognizable."

These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken.

🇱🇧 Israel has killed Pierre Mouawad and his wife. Pierre was a leader in the Lebanese Forces, a major Anti-Hezbollah party in Lebanon. Israel doesn’t care, they killed him and his wife anyways.
