I'm going to make some obvious points.
(1) Blowing up all the oil infrastructure in the Middle East is an insane idea, and may well result in a global economic crash and humanitarian crisis unrivaled in the lives of those now living. We're talking about the price of everything everywhere rising, from food to gas, at a moment when inflation was already high. All of that will be laid at the feet of the authors of this war.
(2) The antebellum status quo of Feb 27, 2026 was just not that bad, but we're unlikely to return to it. Expect indefinite, long-term, ongoing disruptions to everything out of the Middle East.
(3) Also assume tech financing crashes for the indefinite future. The genius plan to get the Gulf states caught in the crossfire has incinerated much of the funding for LPs, for datacenters, and for IPOs. Anyone in tech who supported this war may soon learn the meaning of "force majeure" as funding gets yanked.
(4) Many capital allocators will instead be allocating much further down Maslow's hierarchy of needs, towards useful basic things like food and energy.
(5) It's fortunate that all those progressives yelled about the "climate crisis." Yes, their reasoning about timelines was wrong, and much of the money was wasted in graft, but the result was right: we all need energy independence from the Middle East, pronto. It's also fortunate that Elon and China autistically took climate seriously. Now they're going to need to ship a billion solar panels, electric vehicles, batteries, nuclear power plants, and the like to get everyone off oil, immediately.
(6) It's not just an oil and gas problem, of course. It's also a fertilizer problem, and a chemical precursor problem. Maybe some new sources will come online at the new prices, but it takes time to dial stuff up, particularly at this scale, so shortages are almost a certainty.
That said, China has actually scaled up coal-to-chemicals[a,c] (C2C), and there's also something more sci-fi called Power-to-X[b] which turns arbitrary power + water + air into hydrocarbons. But all of that will need to get accelerated. I have a background in chemical engineering so may start funding things in this area.
(7) Ultimately, this war is going to result in tremendous blame for anyone associated with it. It's a no-win scenario to blow up this much infrastructure for so many people. Simply not worth it for whatever objective they thought they were going to attain. But unless you're actually in a position to stop the madness, the pragmatic thing to do is: scramble to mitigate the fallout to yourself, your business, and your people.

Oh you spineless, backstabbing CUNT.
Iran posed no imminent threat”? LIE. Straight up BULLSHIT.
Trump had the intel stacked to the ceiling, every agency screaming that the mullahs were arming up for the kill, hitting our bases, nukes weeks away from arming.
You sat in that NCTC chair, saw the same classified shit we all know about, and now you’re pissing on it for clout?
Gutless fucking liar.
We started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby”? Eat SHIT with that antisemitic conspiracy garbage, you hypocrite. LIAR!
Trump has been yelling “Iran will NEVER have nukes” since the fucking 80s long before any lobby whispered in his ear. Many videos can be found online of him saying it.
This is AMERICA FIRST smashing the world’s #1 terror sponsor, not your weak “Israel made me do it” cop out.
You’re not a patriot at all, you’re a limp dick Israel blaming simp who’d rather watch Americans die than hurt your precious feelings.
You swore an oath as a Green Beret, lost a wife to this fight, then turned traitor the second real leadership demanded balls? Pathetic.
You are fucking gay.
The mask is OFF. History will remember you as the coward who folded.
Go fuck yourself, wimp!

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.

@LindseyGrahamSC @POTUS Europeans listening to far-right human sock puppet, Lindsey Graham, having a tantrum because we don’t want to help the people who were planning to invade the EU eight weeks ago

English

@LindseyGrahamSC @POTUS Kick rocks, Graham. You can’t publicly bully European leaders, impose tariffs harming EU companies, threaten to invade Greenland and claim America First then publicly shit yourself when leaders have Trump fatigue.
English

Just spoke to @POTUS about our European allies’ unwillingness to provide assets to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning, which benefits Europe far more than America. I have never heard him so angry in my life. I share that anger given what’s at stake.
The arrogance of our allies to suggest that Iran with a nuclear weapon is of little concern and that military action to stop the ayatollah from acquiring a nuclear bomb is our problem not theirs is beyond offensive. The European approach to containing the ayatollah’s nuclear ambitions have proven to be a miserable failure.
The repercussions of providing little assistance to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning are going to be wide and deep for Europe and America.
I consider myself very forward-leaning on supporting alliances, however at a time of real testing like this, it makes me second guess the value of these alliances. I am certain I am not the only senator who feels this way.

Impeachments.
Shutdowns.
Failure.
That’s what lies ahead if the Dems get control of anything.

The removal of historical figures such as Winston Churchill from English banknotes may appear trivial to some.
But it isn’t.
It matters far more than many people realise.
Because what we are witnessing is not an isolated decision about banknote design.
It is part of something much larger: a slow but relentless erosion of our national culture, identity, and collective memory.
As Professor Frank Furedi has observed, we are living through what he calls “the War Against the Past.”
Across the Western world, an assortment of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion bureaucrats, radical activists, and increasingly compliant public institutions are engaged in a cultural project that seeks to delegitimise our national histories and strip away the symbols that once anchored our collective identity and memory.
The pattern is now familiar.
Statues are toppled.
Historical figures are reframed as morally suspect or “divisive”.
Public institutions rename buildings, spaces, Tube lines.
School and university reading lists are “decolonised”.
The past itself is rewritten to emphasise only its sins while ignoring its achievements.
Even the quiet symbolism of everyday life — the images on our currency, the names of our streets, the monuments in our squares — is steadily edited and sanitised.
What replaces these symbols is rarely anything meaningful.
Instead of historically significant figures who helped shape the nation, we are offered neutral, universal imagery that stands for almost nothing at all — landscapes, wildlife, abstractions.
On the surface this seems harmless.
But symbolism matters.
For centuries, historical figures served as cultural signposts, reminders of the history, struggles and achievements that shaped the nation and its people.
Remove those signposts, and something subtle but important begins to change.
The past becomes distant. Then contested. And then disposable.
Gradually, the story of a nation — its triumphs, failures, and defining moments — is hollowed out.
In its place emerges a new idea of national identity that is deliberately thin: one that defines Britain not through its history or traditions but through the abstract celebration of diversity itself.
In other words, the only thing that is meant to define us is that we have no defining identity at all.
The endpoint of this cultural project is not inclusion but historical amnesia, or cultural erasure.
A society that is detached from its past, uncertain of its traditions, and unsure of what binds it together.
This is what Sir Roger Scruton meant when he wrote: “A society that loses its memory loses its identity.”
And that loss happens gradually, through thousands of seemingly small decisions — a statue removed here, a curriculum altered there, a historical figure quietly replaced on a banknote.
Each individual change may appear insignificant.
But taken together they represent something far more profound: the slow disconnection of a people from their own history and collective memory.
A people who no longer really know who “we” are.
I doubt the bureaucrats who made this decision at the Bank of England fully grasp the cultural significance of what they are doing.
But intention is not the point. The effect is what matters.
When we remove the symbols of our past, we further weaken the very foundations of our identity.
Or Orwell warned: “The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.”
This is what is happening and accelerating around us.
This is what Furedi meant by the “War Against Our Past”.
And this is why it really matters.
Not because of one banknote.
But because of the much larger cultural story it represents.

people really need to wake up about modern pokemon cards lol.
75.3 billion cards printed in total since 96... but almost 60% of that happened in just the last 6 yrs. thats like 47 billion cards since 2019 alone.
u call that rare? its literally a printing press mania. 1999 1st edition is the only place with true scarcity left.

Most of the comments say short crypt and long oil
So I’ll do opposite ? Let’s see

What we thinking today boys ? Long oil scalps short crypt ? Stay flat ? Hmmm

@samuel_leeds Respectfully, nobody gives a fuck about your made up man in the sky. It’s not real. Hope this explains why they’re shutting down.

I wanna buy churches like this that are shutting down across England.
So if you know a church that's for sale and potentially closing down, let me know. I wanna buy a church.
I don't care if it's got planning permission to return to flats redeveloped. I don't care.
I wanna buy it. I don't care how profitable the conversion will be.
If it was built as a church, I believe it needs to stay as a church.
I want to save churches like this one from being shut down and sold off to developers all across the UK.
I love making profit in property, but when someone's being built as a church to honour Jesus Christ, that's a no no.
There's revival coming in England and we need to keep our churches open. Ready for what’s to come.
Is this a good idea you would support?
