@Keeling_curve Here's a three-parameter exponential fit extrapolated five years into the future. More of these fits — a lost art? — are here: phys.uri.edu/~nigh/emission…

@RINewsToday I do not see an inflection point in the in the tail end of the Brent curve. Without such a point stability is a fiction. IEA — iea.org/topics/the-mid… — "largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market."

@Peter_Night in the low 100s will be acceptable until this is over - they are talking about a much higher spike which would be unacceptable. You have to do the math to see what this is in reality, though - and not panic at the media hype

IRAN's Security Chief, Ali Larijani, confirmed dead in Epic Fury. Iran fires thousands of missiles into UAE and its neighbors. Qatar closes main gas production facility for security. Israel targets Beirut in Lebanon. Oil price stays stable, @ $100/barrel. Iranian underground missile storage facility destroyed using bunker buster bombs near Strait of Hormuz. #EpicFury #Iran

@MatthewPHoh The Soviets had their Pravda — Russian for truth. The US has the Blue and the Red truth media. Another example of Julius Nyerere's "The United States is also a one-party state, but with typical American extravagance, they have two of them."

In 2009, when I resigned over the escalation of the Afghan War and received tremendous media attention, it took a week or two for the smear campaign against me to begin. Ultimately, General Petraeus and Central Command hired a strategic communications firm to discredit and denigrate me. Today, the “important background” about Kent came in less than an hour following reports of his resignation. American media has changed so greatly in those 17 years, not simply with the introduction and adoption of smart phones and social media, but with the near total compliance of traditional, legacy and corporate media with the American national security establishment. Yes, a mutually beneficial relationship existed two decades ago between the national security establishment and the corporate media, but not to the degree it exists today. I hope Joe Kent gets front page coverage on the Washington Post and is interviewed on the Today Show as I was, but I suspect corporate media will quickly ignore him or offer the Administration’s smears with as much weight as his protest and criticism.

@DropSiteNews There is a problem with the term "cluster munitions". peternightingale.substack.com/p/cluster-muni… Nobody call MIRVs — multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles — cluster munitions.

💢 REPORT | Iran fires 10 different missile waves at Israel Sunday as Trump again claims Iran is “totally defeated” Iranian media released footage of a new barrage on Sunday morning, its 54th in total, as Tehran said it targeted Israeli command infrastructure tied to air operations. Israel’s Channel 12 reported a wave every 90 minutes since midnight. ▪️ Bnei Brak and Ramat Gan, cities in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, reported impacts or falling munitions, Israeli media said. ▪️ AP reported police and city crews clearing suspected cluster munition fragments in Tel Aviv, where shrapnel damaged cars and gouged a hole in pavement near a youth center and bomb shelter. ▪️ Israeli police said multiple impact sites across the Tel Aviv area left four people injured, including one moderately. ▪️ A missile carrying cluster submunitions scattered fragments over Eilat, Israel’s southern Red Sea port city, with fires and damage reported. Two men in their 50s were lightly injured, according to Israel’s Magen David Adom emergency service. ▪️ Tehran also claimed drone strikes on the Lahav 433 police headquarters near Lod and the Gilat satellite communications center in southern Israel. ▪️ Iranian media said the barrage used Khorramshahr heavy missiles with 2-ton warheads, along with Kheybar Shekan, Qadr, Emad, and for the first time the solid-fuel Sejjil missile. ▪️ IRGC Aerospace Commander Sardar Seyed Majid Mousavi said the heavy two-stage Sejjil missiles targeted Israeli air-operations command centers.

@SenJackReed Or maybe the real winner is renewable energy? tradingeconomics.com/commodity/bren…

It appears the biggest beneficiary up to this point of the Iranian operation has been the Russians.   washingtonpost.com/business/2026/…

@RINewsToday Is that "U.S. military action to deter Iran" or is it "U.S. military action to unite Iran"? A poll is no better than the formulation of its questions.

Gas prices in Rhode Island are up about 40-51¢ per gallon — roughly $5-$8 more per fill-up. Is U.S. military action to deter Iran worth the temporary increase to you?

Fools' names and fools' faces are often seen in public places.

My conclusion — admittedly somewhat based on guesswork — is that Associated Press is amplifying misleading information from Israeli sources. peternightingale.substack.com/p/cluster-muni…

$8 DOLLARS PER GALLON IN LOS ANGELES Working class Americans are getting destroyed at the pump because Trump launched a war of choice on Iran It's the War For Israel Tax

"You're witnessing right now [the] American empire's retreat from the Levant and the Middle East in general." Lawrence Wilkerson, retired U.S. Army colonel and former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell, says the U.S. is at risk of losing its war on Iran, where it's already committed major war crimes. "This is a war with long legs," adds Wilkerson. "Trump has completely misinterpreted it. The only one who's interpreted it correctly is Bibi Netanyahu, and I think he's ready to use a nuclear weapon."

Privatization brings to mind deification and idolatry. How radical a thought is this? peternightingale.substack.com/p/one-failed-h…
