Trump may do more for the energy transition than any other individual through sheer incompetence, just like JD Vance may do more than anyone else for the cause of global antifascism simply by being viscerally repellent.

They think you're stupid.
Strait's open as long as the ceasefire holds as long as Israel stays home. Also a continued blockade will be seen as a ceasefire violation. We must be reading different news.
This is such a banger and I hate that things worked out in such a way that I'm cheering on the murderous autocratic regime of Iran, but here we are in 2026. And kinda proud of the Iranian Embassy in South Africa! Good decision to outsource humour to a country that gets it.
In decisive challenge to Iran, US takes over Gulf blockade

Darth Vader: Good luck blowing it up now!
My read was that he's talking about cheap 3d printed drones.
I'm just glad they are getting so efficient at it! No decades-long occupation this time.
I think the solution to the fermi paradox is that intelligent organisms gain just enough advancement to be spending 100% of their time doing security updates.
FINALLY the big american papers are coming around to the thought that the victory lap was premature. 24 hours after everyone else.
If there was an earthquake that trapped people under the rubble it would headline world news for days and be seen as a tragedy.
Before I became an American, I was Lebanese. Parts of my family live in Lebanon.
Anyway, you don't need those bona fides to feel this way, but what is happening in Lebanon right now is a complete outrage. The people there, who mostly are just trying to carve out a living, don't deserve this.
Massive wave of Israeli airstrikes in Beirut as Israel attempts to undercut the fragile ceasefire
#3 is already clearly not happening, though?
I imagined it as we'd get these AGI or close-enough models and, put one in a cupboard, overclock it, ask it to cure cancer, come back 5 years later to look at what it discovered. Turns out LLMs end up finding you the nuclear launch codes by throwing money at a corporation long before we get there.
remember those other branches of government
How is it that America has no leadership?
Yet another thing that wouldn't be necessary if Trump just never started the war in the first place.
I just laughed at this harder than I've laughed at anything in a while
How many dollars per barrel before China clears the US navy from the region?
Hey at least this time they are doing it quickly.
Win every battle, lose every war.
Crime in the United States has dropped immensely in the last 35 years
Hey at least he left the bone-saw in the car.
"We rewrote [something] in Go/Rust" -> "We rewrote [something] with AI"
So many "we rewrote X in a day" stories should actually be that people realised this thing wasn't so complicated and they could have actually replaced it years ago if they wanted to. But now with AI they went looking for projects so suddenly the task got moved out of the backlog and they did it.
When twitter was perceived as liberal it was a bubble and people should not take it seriously. But now that it's a cesspool of right-wing propaganda it's the Soul of America and the libs ignore it at their peril
Those patio umbrellas can now have as many nukes as they want plus they are getting war reparations.
Please can this be the thing he gets sent to prison for. There are many options but this would be the funniest.
Love how the world is crowd-sourcing Iran's strategy.
