I’ve this chat with others: “the reason AI is giving you PhD-level answers is because you’ve been trained to ask PhD-level questions. Can you identify the important part of this story?”. Not knocking the time saving aspect, but AI supports HI. It shouldn’t replace it.

People are going to find out why the Middle East is called that. Because from a supply chain standpoint it’s literally in the middle and every other commerce route is worse/more expensive/slower.

This is pretty close to surrender. An open-ended ceasefire against a country that spent 8 years losing a much harder war and survived.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

Donald Trump has increased the cost of living for the entire planet. It’s an impressive feat. And by impressive I mean it’s the stupidest thing ever done.

Not just New Zealand’s air pollution. Assuming air pollution is localised is like saying you’re off for a swim in the piss-free section of the swimming pool 🤢

Two things about this you’ve not considered: 1) it’s not a human. 2) it runs like a twat.

So fucking what? Any elite wheelchair athlete you care to name, or indeed any decently fit cyclist can outperform a running human. I don’t give a shit that an ambulant toaster can do it; you may as well stick me in a car and celebrate that as an achievement as much as this bullshit.

Pretty sure Iran’s actions today will elicit a calm and considered response from Trump.

Who’d have thought a fossil-fuel shill like Trump would be the one to spark a green revolution? | George Monbiot The US attack on Iran has made the need for renewable energy inarguable, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

It's the opposite of his intention, but the Idiot Emperor is forcing the world off fossil fuels. This week's column.

Add to that my dad was in the Royal Navy and says the SoH is a scary transit even when nobody is shooting at you, and he was in a warship!

I think we can all agree that something is happening. And that’s not nothing. But we’re still not sure what the hell that is.

Almost all vessels are Indian or Chinese, and the Iranian channel in use, meaning the Ayatollabooth is open at least.

Open up YouTube. Apparently I should still be doing Tai Chi and a “small Birmingham inventor has made pressure washers obsolete”. Good to know.

We need to be honest about what we are seeing here. The Iranian government is still the same theocratic dictatorship and the Iranian people are in desperate straits after the US promised them liberation. The Iranians still control the Strait of Hormuz, still maintain their right to collect tolls...

Right, I’m calling bullshit on the “Strait of Hormuz is reopened”: Iran has said it’s open for all ships using its coordinated route. But that is the Ayatollabooth. There is still a US naval blockade.

Mechanically speaking, a lift going down is still lifting you, because you are falling slower than you otherwise would.
