I don't think this future is guaranteed. But a ton of capital owners definitely wish they could cost-optimize their knowledge workers. It's in the range of outcomes.

Note that the blockade as originally announced by Trump (of the strait itself) would have been illegal, but as formulated by the DoD (of Iranian ports), it's a legal act of war.

By contrast, the Iranian 'closure' of the strait is illegal, violating UNCLOS.

Legally, the war itself is illegal under *United States* law (Congress hasn't declared war, no imminence); under international law it's arguable ('arguable under international law' really means 'legal in practice') given the actions of Iran's proxies.

But within the war, the blockade is legal.

In a strange way, it says something about how effective the oceanic Pax Americana has been since 1945 that 'blockade functioning normally in a war' is such a strange sight that folks respond with shock.

This used to be a regular occurrence!

A hundred years ago, the Democrats were deeply divided between a progressive wing and a conservative wing, and maintained what party unity they could by allowing white supremacists to set policy on anything touching on race.

We provide immense subsidies to rural areas through redistribution and industrial policy, which all of the white rural areas resist kicking and screaming because wind and solar is a Chinese plot to trans their kids who don't talk to them.

Iranian gunboats fire on tanker in Strait of Hormuz as Iran reimposes restrictions The United States and Iran are locked in a standoff over the Strait of Hormuz. On Saturday, Iran fired on a ship trying to pass through, escalating tensions.

It's very possible that the people who are negotiating on behalf of Iran are not the ones giving military orders. That's one reason you don't assassinate principals!

A flatscreen display on a "smart" water fountain, demanding to be reconnected to the internet.

In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try."

Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!

"We need to spend more on defense" folks have to reckon with the fact that we have blown colossal amounts of cash on DoD and CENTCOM's emotional support activities and the American voter does not see anything positive received in return for this spending.

I used to be pro Linear over Jira but this seems like a pretty basic UX issue?
- click a Linear link
- oh you need to SSO
- SSO does its thing
- **you get dumped at the Linear home page instead of the link you clicked**
