With oil sales drastically curtailed (especially in the countries that depend on Hormuz for most or all of their trade), they aren't getting paid fresh dollars to cover basic needs. As such, they are running out of actual dollars to pay debts and imports and quickly depleting their reserves.

Important legal news
Well, it would depend on who the candidates for each party end up being - you can end up with more (insert demographic group here) representatives than 'deserved' as long as the party leaders put them on top of the list.
Otherwise, any voting system 'discriminates' against low-turnout groups.
Si abro más los ojos con el nuevo capítulo de esta distopía se me van a quedar montados al aire, como los de las langostas.
There has been a huge transformation in social media use, especially on X - which has swung sharply to the right. It’s not the same platform it once was.
Y las risas que nos vamos a echar mañana cuando vuelvan a volar las bombas y el petróleo suba a 120 dólares
Bieeeeennnnn
Espero que le paguen la noche de hotel y los vales restaurante mientras espera en el aeropuerto.
In other words: if the race is 1 republican vs 1 democrat, the democrat will win 70-30. But as long as it's 2 republicans vs 10 democrats, the two republicans will get each a higher vote share than any of the 10 democrats splitting the 70% into tiny slices.
Because there are two republicans adding up to 30% (16%, 14%) and 10 democrats adding up by 70%, but not polling higher than 13% each.
Especially in Kansas, where republicans have extra fucked it up. Fuck them.
i think it was josh barro on twitter who said "if you don't occasionally miss a flight that means you've wasted too much time at the airport over the course of your life," which is so fundamentally alien to me that i honestly think about it all the time
There's also the part in which Spain's debt-to-GDP ratio and budget deficit are both smaller than the US's, but, you know, Trump doesn't understand that gross government debt and current account deficits are different things.
a Trump post that says "has anybody looked at how badly the country of spain is doing. Their financial numbers, despite contributing almost nothing to NATO and their military defense, are absolutely horrendous. Sad to watch!!!"
stupid Trump tweet for many reasons but one of which is that Spain had higher GDP growth than the US over the last year (3% vs 2%)
The Onion plans to turn Infowars into a comedy site with satirical echoes of the fringe conspiracy theories that Mr. Jones is known for. Tim Heidecker, one of the comedians behind “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!” on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, has been hired to serve as “creative director of Infowars.” He said he initially plans to parody Mr. Jones’s “whole modus operandi.” Mr. Heidecker has been working on his impression of Mr. Jones. But eventually, when that joke gets old, Mr. Heidecker said that he hoped to turn Infowars into a destination for independent and experimental comedy. “I just thought it would be just a beautiful joke if we could take this pretty toxic, negative, destructive force of Infowars and rebrand it as this beautiful place for our creativity,” Mr. Heidecker said in an interview. During a recent trip to Philadelphia, he traveled to the Liberty Bell to film a video in character as the new creative director of Infowars.
Get excited.

Añado que si el medio salió a subasta es porque a su dueño, el infame Alex Jones, le condenaron a pagar 1.000 millones de dólares por difamar a padres de niños asesinados en un tiroteo diciendo que eran actores.
Jones, a todo esto, está peleándose con Trump esta semana por no apoyar la guerra.
El equivalente a El Mundo Today de EEUU se compra en una subasta un pozo de paranoia, bulos y desinformación ultraderechista para convertirlo en un medio de verdad. Me gusta cuando ganan los buenos.
Hi! Expert in Geopolitics here! Just wanted to let you know that this isn't cute – client states only do this when they are in a state of high distress!

Es mezclar la concesión de ciudadanía a los nietos de exiliados por el franquismo (que son los que se han podido acoger a la LMD) con la regularización de migrantes así como quien no quiere la cosa.
The best explanation of what is happening between the US and Iran right now is that Trump is openly live-blogging the kind of fraught consultations that any sane US president in the past would have kept secret to avoid putting themselves and the other side under domestic pressure
The difference this time is that shipping companies are starting to take it seriously and warning that they could start moving by Monday if the green light is real: bsky.app/profile/fint...

Entre 2022 y 2024 el PIB per cápita creció un 2,9% al año y, según el @bde.es, los extranjeros aportaron el 14-24%.
Ojo, no son meras aportaciones al PIB sino al PIB per cápita. Es decir, la población extranjera ha hecho que los nacionales seamos más ricos.

he showed up to a mostly empty auditorium, got heckled by anti war protesters opposing the war he just humiliatingly failed to negotiate an end to, erika kirk stood him up, and he tried to explain catholicism to the pope. the only way he could’ve had a worse time is if he pissed his pants up there.
