The TAL oil pipeline, connecting Italy, Austria, and Germany, has been sabotaged. As the world’s attention remains fixed on the Strait of Hormuz and on the high-stakes negotiations beginning in Islamabad, a critical energy artery in Europe has been disabled. 🧵

OpenAI may have caused the worst consumer hardware crisis in a decade with purchase orders that were never real. In October 2025, Sam Altman flew to Seoul and signed simultaneous deals with Samsung and SK Hynix for 900,000 DRAM wafers per month. That's 40% of global supply. Neither company knew the other was signing a similar commitment at the same time. The pricing and terms would have looked very different if they had. Those "deals" were letters of intent, not binding purchase orders. No RAM actually changed hands. But the market treated them as real. Contract DRAM prices jumped 171%. A 64GB DDR5 kit went from $190 to $700 in three months. DDR4 kits that should have been in oversupply doubled. Retailers stopped posting prices entirely. The Abilene Stargate expansion just got cancelled because OpenAI couldn't forecast its own demand. Oracle couldn't agree on financing. The partners are squabbling. Bloomberg reported the $500B project hadn't started and no funds were raised to meet the initial budget. Multiple data center buildouts are delayed or shelved. Now DDR5 prices are finally dropping for the first time in months, and it has nothing to do with OpenAI walking away from anything. Google released TurboQuant on March 24, a compression algorithm that cuts AI memory requirements by 6x. SK Hynix and Samsung stocks dropped 6% and 5% overnight. Corsair kits fell $60-100 from their highs within days. One company locked up 40% of global memory with commitments it may never fulfill. A different company published a research paper. The research paper is doing more for RAM prices than the entire supply chain has done in six months.

@Osinttechnical Note: he called it "war". Did Congress declare war? @RepThomasMassie

"THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL NEVER ALLOW A RADICAL LEFT, WOKE COMPANY TO DICTATE HOW OUR GREAT MILITARY FIGHTS AND WINS WARS! That decision belongs to YOUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, and the tremendous leaders I appoint to run our Military.  The Leftwing nut jobs at Anthropic have made a DISASTROUS MISTAKE..." - President Donald J. Trump

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (@AP) — Witnesses say blast strikes downtown in Tehran, Iran's capital, as thick smoke is seen rising in sky. TEL AVIV, Israel (@AP) — Israel's defense minister says his country has attacked Iran and declares a state of emergency.

NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials: Dear Ambassador:   President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state] “Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city, obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

Wir leben in der dümmsten aller möglichen Realitäten...

JD Vance: “He is protected by absolute immunity.” If ICE agents have “absolute immunity” that means they can never be prosecuted for anything done on the job. That's about as Orwellian as it gets.

This is the end of any idea of having international law and the US being a guarantee for a (somewhat) stable world order. Whatever we think about Maduro, it's just as legal as Putin's attempt to capture Zelenskyy. Very likely a blueprint for China or Russia for years to come...

I can’t believe this is a real government account.

This is insane: FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr announced that they will be hiring a "bias monitor" at CBS "who would report directly to the President." State run TV is officially here. Make sure everyone sees this.

No, you are not our leader. We have democracies in Europe. The people vote for their leaders

An amazing article came out yesterday. Seven German journalism students, as a continuation of their OSINT course project, tracked the movements of ships with Russian crews off the coasts of the Netherlands and Germany and linked them to swarms of drones appearing over European military airfields and other strategic sites. The guys not only analyzed thousands of data points, but also used leaked documents, established connections with sources in European agencies, and drove 2,500 km across three countries chasing one of the ships – even launching their own drone to fly over it. At the end of the article, there’s precise data on the vessels, so you can follow them yourself. This is journalism of the highest order – straight from the bureau of weights and measures. Read the article: digitaldigging.org/p/they-droned-…

Major police presence in and outside Copenhagen Airport in Denmark, as all arriving and departing flights have been halted due to a number of unidentified “large” drones being spotted flying in the airspace around CPH.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like. yahoo.com/news/articles/…

The fact that this shipped is insane...
