@KobeissiLetter $60mil off risking $1.5bil? Not impressive at all.
English

Is this the best timed trade of 2026?
At 6:50 AM ET today, $1.5 BILLION in notional value worth of S&P 500 futures contracts were bought.
This trade was so large it sent the entire index +0.3% higher that minute.
Then, 14 minutes later at 7:04 AM ET, President Trump announced "productive discussions" with Iran were underway.
By 7:10 AM ET, the S&P 500 had added +$2 TRILLION in market cap.
That $1.5 billion position gained +$60 million in minutes.
Absolutely incredible.

@mroselli13 @Hofers @unusual_whales Not clear to me how you could possibly miss the stench of swamp on trump and his criminal cronies.
This just staggers me.

@Hofers @unusual_whales Brother I hate to say this but he’s ALWAYS been the swamp. Ever since The Apprentice days
The dude was never truly fit to run our country. Why we elected a corrupt businessman is mind boggling

BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market.
In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold.
These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time.
The trader seemingly made huge gains.
Unusual.

@ChrisJordan55 @donwinslow Your vote for Donald trump was a long-odds bet on a bad man doing good things.

@donwinslow We voted for policies. Our candidate lied. Shocking.

@WaywardSeafarer @cliffordbigly @RWlkrSmith @j_christo3 @t_NYC Spectacular.
The innocuous nature of this stuff has me wondering whether deep sequestration is worth spending money on at all - Especially with clean fusion conceivable within a decade.
Maybe the world should leapfrog fission (with renewables) with a view to a future in fusion?

Not fully on topic but worth a watch.
As for deep geologic storage or other proposed methods like deep bore hole disposal, I have a hard time coming up with any serious risks when in proper inactive regions.

The fact that young people talk about nuclear power and never, ever, EVER mention the nuclear waste that is buried all over USA in storage sites that will remain radioactive basically forever and aren’t secured or really “safe”
vivian@vivian39_
nuclear energy is sitting right there. just sitting there. producing massive amounts of clean reliable power with a safety record better than literally every other energy source per kwh. and we're out here arguing about whether to put a solar panel on a parking garage. okay

Global warming has accelerated. On Climate Chat we explain why, mainly with observation-based data:
English

@cliffordbigly @RWlkrSmith @j_christo3 @WaywardSeafarer @t_NYC It appears you’re exactly right, and nuclear waste is greatly more manageable than I’d thought it was. Thanks for setting me straight on that.
How do you feel about the accident risk?
English

@Scrotes3 @RWlkrSmith @j_christo3 @WaywardSeafarer @t_NYC I'll say it again, nuclear fuel is extremely safe and storage procedures are too. This doesn't even factor in that fusion energy production will take over fission, which produces, what, 1% the waste of fission? And it's share of dangerous material is far lower too

We need to build 10–15 nuclear plants.
Britain becomes energy independent overnight, every home powered, surplus exported globally.
No reliance on foreign suppliers.
No vulnerability to price shocks.
Lowest long term cost per unit on earth.

@EliotJacobson CO2 makes up less than 0.01% of the atmosphere, yet you still fear it.
Grow up, science matters, and science doesn't support your claims.

@BeingJWood Just spitballin' here, but could it perhaps be due to softer and gentler coverage by a media that favors Democrats by 95-5%?

@wille99 @BrianTu85458331 @LeonSimons8 “… an "Energy Transition" that isn't possible”
Why do you say it’s not possible?
English

@BrianTu85458331 @LeonSimons8 "Established Climate Science" seems to be nothing more than grifters pushing for an "Energy Transition" that isn't possible. Where do you get your pay check from? It's not from reliable transportation I figure.

When the Nature papers on ice age cooling refers to 'small nudges' driving the oceans, they are describing the precision of the Milankovitch Cycles.
These aren't massive shifts in heat but subtle changes in distribution. They come from slight shifts in Earth's tilt (obliquity) or the shape of its orbit (eccentricity). They change where sunlight hits. A slightly cooler summer in the Northern Hemisphere means the winter snow doesn't fully melt.
Leftover snow then reflects more sunlight back into space. This is a nudge in reflectivity (albedo) that starves the system of energy. As the surface cools, the deep ocean 'flywheel' begins to shift. Cold, dense water sinks more aggressively, altering the global conveyor belt (Thermohaline Circulation).
Only after the ocean has cooled by that 2C to 2.5C (as seen in the Allan Hills noble gases) does it begin to re-absorb CO2 from the atmosphere.
The atmosphere isn't the driver; it’s a passenger in the process. The code red narrative treats the passenger as the driver, while ignoring the 1,000-year momentum of the ocean beneath them.

@cliffordbigly @RWlkrSmith @j_christo3 @WaywardSeafarer @t_NYC What the fuck use is a 100 year tank for containing stuff that stays toxic for 20000 years?
English

@RWlkrSmith @j_christo3 @Scrotes3 @WaywardSeafarer @t_NYC Uh, yeah, in the future, better storage technologies will exist. Btw, the majority of those 177 tanks are older design tanks used far longer than intended and only a couple have issues.

@j_christo3 @RWlkrSmith @WaywardSeafarer @t_NYC Jeez bro, you’re right about wiki - it’s got a shitload of groovy nuclear stuff hasn’t it?
Have you read any of it?
It has “information “.

@ChessKnight0 @aaronsmith Where on that 500 million year timeline are humans?
English

@aaronsmith I am pro live and care about nature, so I will drive ICE cars. as Higher CO₂ and warmer temperatures (compared to today) fueled the most dramatic "thriving" episodes — the Cambrian Explosion, Mesozoic radiations, and periods of giant life forms — across the last 500 mln years.
