Scientists solve Bermuda mystery after discovering hidden structure below the Atlantic waters

forget the virus, WHO THE HELL is taking antarctic cruises from argentina, sailing the remote south Atlantic, going home to SF for a day, then flying to the remote Pacific and ending up on one of the most remote islands on Earth that's a damn Lord of the Rings level journey

Friendly Reminder: If your income has not risen by at least 30% since Covid hit, you are now poorer. And that is using the government’s own data. The real number is likely 40% plus.

#BREAKING: White House staffer says Trump is regretting the decision to go to war with Iran, having assumed being a wartime president would result in the 80%+ approval ratings GWB received. Sending our troops to die & destroying the oil economy for poll numbers. Unbelievable.

The US CPI numbers are out, and they’ve landed slightly hotter than expected—arriving just as the Federal Reserve prepares for the imminent changing of the guard, with Kevin Warsh set to replace Jerome Powell as Chair. Driven by a 0.6% monthly spike in April, annual headline inflation rose to 3.8% (beating the 3.7% consensus). Core inflation increased to 2.8% on a 0.4% monthly increase. The immediate Treasury market reaction was to push yields slightly higher: the 2-year hit 3.97%, the 10-year 4.43%, and the 30-year 5.0%. The 10-year breakeven edged higher to 2.50%. #economy #markets #inflation #bonds #CPI

While April CPI inflation rose to 3.8%, inflation is much higher in many basic necessities: 1. Energy Commodity Inflation: +29.2% 2. Gasoline Inflation: +28.4% 3. Airfare Inflation: +20.7% 4. Energy Inflation: +17.9% 5. Electricity Inflation: +6.1% 6. Fruits and Vegetables Inflation: +6.1% 7. Hospital Services Inflation: +5.5% 8. Motor Vehicle Repair Inflation: +5.1% 9. Apparel Inflation: +4.2% This has driven cumulative inflation since 2020 to +29%, meaning goods that cost $100 in 2020 now cost $129 today. Inflation remains a major issue for Americans.

Price changes over last year (April CPI report) Fuel Oil: +54.3% Gasoline: +28.4% Electricity: +6.1% Transportation: +4.3% Apparel: +4.2% Overall CPI: +3.8% Food away from home: +3.6% Shelter: +3.3% Medical Care: +3.2% Gas Utilities: +3.0% Food at home: +2.9% New Cars: +0.2% Used Cars: -2.7%

Unpopular opinion: a stock market crash will make America affordable again.

BREAKING: The US Strategic Petroleum Reserve released last week >1.22 million barrels a day (~8.6 million for the week). That's the largest ever weekly release, surpassing the peak rate seen in 2022 when President Biden tapped the SPR after Russia invaded Ukraine.

🚨 THE DOMINOES ARE FALLING. IN DAYS, NOT WEEKS. Here is the global oil crisis — country by country — as of today: 🇱🇰 Sri Lanka — RATIONING. Nationwide QR-code fuel system for cars & motorcycles. Public offices & schools/universities on conservation schedule. 🇵🇰 Pakistan — CRISIS. 4-day work week for public & private sectors. Unprecedented price surge. Remote work pushed & markets closing early. 🇮🇳 India — VULNERABLE. SPR ~6–10 days left. Total stocks ~60 days cover but panic growing. Govt scrambling for emergency imports. 🇰🇷 South Korea — CLOCK TICKING. Odd-even driving rules (mandatory for public sector, voluntary for private with discounts). Fuel price caps in effect. 🇯🇵 Japan — RELEASING. Claimed 230+ days. Extra strategic reserves now being tapped (second major release started May 1). 🇬🇧 UK — PRICE SHOCK. Targeted aid packages for heating-oil users. Windfall tax talks & anti-gouging measures active. 🇩🇪 Germany — TAX RELIEF. Petrol & diesel tax cut extended. Employer fuel bonuses rolled out. 🇫🇷 France — AID LAUNCHED. Targeted fuel discounts & allowances for high-mileage drivers, transport, fishing & agriculture. Energy vouchers accelerated. 🇿🇦 South Africa — LEVY EXTENDED. Fuel levy slashed to ease pump prices. Citizens still reporting pressure & queues at stations. 🇹🇷 Turkey — TAX CUT. Special consumption tax on fuel lowered to cushion consumers. 🇧🇷 Brazil — SUBSIDIES. Diesel taxes scrapped & subsidies for producers/importers in place. 🇦🇺 Australia — VOLUNTARY CUTS. “Every Little Bit Helps” campaign + excise duty halved. Business support loans active. 🇺🇸 USA — SPR DRAWDOWN. Part of IEA’s largest-ever coordinated strategic release. State-level gas tax relief active. 🇨🇳 China — STOCKPILED & LOCKED. Massive reserves held back. Refined-oil export ban & domestic price controls still enforced. This is DAY 70 of the Hormuz blockade. 20% of global oil — GONE. 8 million barrels per day — GONE. IEA’s response: largest-ever strategic stock release in history. OPEC+ increases remain minimal relative to the hole. Here is what nobody is telling you: They’re showing you “reserves are sufficient.” They’re NOT showing you India’s SPR at ~6–10 days, Pakistan on 4-day weeks with rationing, Japan quietly tapping extra reserves, or Sri Lanka’s QR-code fuel system. Empty pumps and demand destruction are already here in Asia. The real energy crisis hasn’t even started yet.

Essential aid delivered from the sky. Members of the Parachute Regiment parachute on to the remote island of Tristan da Cunha. They mark a drop zone then call in an air drop of essential medical supplies from the RAF. 1000s of miles away in the middle of the Atlantic…only they could do it…to the Parachute Regiment we salute you! 🫡🫡
