Two questions for the Tump administration. 1. Are you prepared to use force to stop a Chinese or Russian vessel from visiting an Iranian port? 2. If it was a good "jujistu" move last month to un-sanction Iranian oil, why it is a good idea now to blockade it?

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world. Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people – and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.

@chicagotribune I thought illegal immigrants couldn’t get welfare?

Roughly 16,000 immigrants may lose access to crucial food assistance in Illinois as a result of federal eligibility changes that took effect April 1. chicagotribune.com/2026/04/11/sna…

@championswimmer @akm1410 I’m no Altman fan but this stuff is disgusting. Don’t like him, then don’t use his products.

Sam Altman's home has been attacked twice (once with molotov cocktail and once with someone firing at it) in last 3 days. Cursory glance a Instagram/TikTok/Reddit was that lot of people saying things from "false flag" to outright support for the attackers. There have been constant "AI driven layoff" news across the board for 2 years straight at this point, and despite however useful AI is, outside of probably a tiny tiny little bubble on Twitter, it generally seems to be largely hated technology by the average normie. Given that 800M (maybe 1B+ by now) people regularly use AI - it is just unprecedented how much difference the data of usage and growth metrics can be from what people feel about a thing. All in all, very concerning times we are heading into. Not good. In all sorts of ways.

@AlexanderSoros Anything you’re involved in, one should take the other side with confidence.

The people of Hungary have taken back their country! A resounding rejection of entrenched corruption and foreign interference. 🇭🇺 🇪🇺

@markgurman Niche. And I’m not even sure what the niche is. We will find out.

@dampedspring Retooling. Watching Iran retool. Optics for the world to see that Iran will not stop going after nukes. Not brilliant, just a thing.

If the blockade strategy is the clear brilliant win (which folks seem to think it is ) why not implement weeks ago?

I get Iran strategy I get Israel strategy I have lost the plot on US strategy I must admit.

Lebanese Red Cross medic Hassan Badawi was killed by Israel today. His ambulance was bombed by an Israeli drone, killing him and wounding two of his colleagues. This is not an exceptional event; it is Israeli policy. Rest in peace, hero.

@AngiePowersAI @VaibhavSisinty Exactly the opposite is happening. It starts with one and the costs plummet and the tools are spread at scale. It’s happened a thousand times.

Every time I hear these stories I think of the real impact. For every one founder with unlimited $ to chase lab resources and AI, there’s 100 doing something unhinged because ChatGPT said so. People who are in need, desperate, without access to care, who couldn’t afford GPT Research in the phone app, let alone custom AI for gene analysis. The digital divide is widening fast, and it should concern us all.

Cancer is cured by AI. GitLab founder Sid Sijbrandij was diagnosed with stage 4 spinal cancer. Every trial rejected him. His doctors had nothing left to offer. So he stopped being a patient. He built an AI research team. Fed them 25TB of his own medical data genomics, scans, treatment history, everything. The system found a treatment his entire oncology team had missed. Then engineered 19 custom vaccines from his own DNA. Relapse-free since 2025. Then he uploaded the entire blueprint. Free. For every person sitting in that same room, hearing the same verdict, with nobody left to call. Medicine runs on averages. AI runs on you.

@wast31andbaby @Erin4Parents Imbecile. Pronouns, opinion irrelevant.

@Erin4Parents I’m calling bs.

5 years ago, my little girl was secretly being groomed and transitioned at her public school. 4 years ago, she was still lost in a dark cloud, suicidal, identifying as a “boy” named Toby. Last night, she went to her first prom with her boyfriend — glowing with confidence and grace. Thank you, Jesus, for saving her. 🙏🏼 What the enemy meant for evil, God is turning into good. If you’re a parent fighting for your child right now and it feels hopeless, please hold on. There is light on the other side. I won’t stop fighting for your horror story to have a happy ending, too.

@williameijer Good

The fertility rate of US liberal White women aged 25–35 is 0.51 children. White liberalism is now a death cult whose value proposition is: “Amuse yourself to death.” Optimize for harm reduction long enough, and you end up optimizing for nonexistence—the only state without pain

@HealthRanger @LukeGromen No

The helium collapse accelerates. All mass spec labs are about to go dark. Medical imaging, too, for those instruments that use helium. My lab has a 1-year supply of helium in place, because I saw this coming and ordered my analysts to stock up in early March. Apparently we got the last available "extra" helium in the supply chain. Now it's scarcity and, soon, panic.

@mb_ghalibaf @zerohedge Relax

Enjoy the current pump figures. With the so-called 'blockade', Soon you'll be nostalgic for $4–$5 gas. ΔO_BSOH>0 ⇒ f(f(O))>f(O)

I can hate this! The property tax is one of the best taxes on the books and it's pro-family to boot. Property taxes are capitalized into the cost of homes, making it easier to purchase them for young people looking to start families. Plus, they're efficient. Triple them!

@Polymarket K

BREAKING: Iran says they will now treat any U.S. military vessels approaching the strait as a ceasefire breach to be “dealt with strongly”

population has grown ~9x in 200yrs, while poverty trends to 0 people act as though capitalism is a zero sum game, but it’s actually the only system that creates positive sum outcomes the average person today is far richer than most kings in days past

This is a game changer. Woke judges will now be publicly tracked for how many violent criminals they release who reoffend. These judges all just started to panic.

@financialjuice @StanphylCap Idiot logic

IRGC: Military vessels approaching Strait of Hormuz will be considered a ceasefire breach and will be dealt with strongly
