A fake ceasefire announcement meant to placate markets actually worsens the long-term consequences of this crisis by delaying more durable adjustments to ongoing shortages. The Strait of Hormuz remains closed.

Kid loves to watch sharks eating shit. His new fucking favorite thing. Seals, fish, humans, he wants it all. Can’t get enough.

Repost if you had ONE NIGHT STANDS that lasted longer than the Iranian ceasefire

I have learned so fucking much about many different kinds of history in the last few weeks

I feel like more people in government would not get blindsided by Iran if they watched #Survivor.

Cannot wait to see this graph for Minnesota soon.

Sir, you have 2 followers.

click through to see who "some rando" is lol

Just concepts of a ceasefire.

I did my part!

it’s really striking how much we are now living in a normalized situation in which there’s the actual world and then there’s the narrative of the world that exists to allow the markets to keep functioning and these are not the same things even a little.

Market manipulation, again. Investors placed a huge ~$950 million bet that oil prices would fall just hours before the U.S. and Iran agreed a ceasefire, selling large volumes of Brent and U.S. crude futures ahead of the announcement. Source: Reuters

Clearly we can no longer be in an alliance with Israel with these guys currently in power there.

Well shit

There was a similar Israel/Hamas story a while back. Don't remember who the dishonest mediator was, either Egypt or Biden-era US. It's the kind of thing a mediator does when they're desperate for a deal and the two parties just... aren't.

Jesus he’s red #Bluejays

hegseth is cooked

It’s so weird to see this stuff faster than cable news. They are all still celebrating it’s over.

BLOCK US ALL

Can't imagine Trump approving a ceasefire or settlement that involves a $2M toll where he and his family don't immediately get $1.2M per vessel into that Qatari bank account

POINT ELEVEN: TRUMP MUST IMMEDIATELY RECEIVE THE LIGHT OF ISLAM AND RECITE THE SHAHADA ON “FOX & FRIENDS”

[slow clap]

The one thing about Donald Trump is he wants us all thinking about him all the time and he fucking succeeded.

WAR IS BACK ON THE MENU BOYZ

Thank fucking god

I should be a senator

Brad Finstad’s office is not picking up. I have called both the DC and local office. Nothing. What the fuck are we paying taxes for?

If we all do it though, they cannot touch us!

I will go to the Nuremberg 2.0 trials if they are in Mpls or St. Paul. I will take my son too. And then we will go for ice cream after.

To be clear, that's a *nominal* fresh all-time high, which outstrips the $144.22/bbl the global crude benchmark reached in 2008. Obviously we've had a lot of inflation since then, so the 2008 high is more like $216/bbl in current dollars Next onto the inflation-adjusted record?

I know dude. I still think about Gary Anderson’s missed FG too.

Didn’t Nuremberg hang the propagandists too?

I know there is a lot going on right now but I was racing to get my sandwich order in before someone else and I won

The world not screeching to a halt when the US killed more than 100 little school girls on the very first day of this "liberating war" led us exactly to this moment

seeing a lot of "oh you stupid idiots are talking about him using nukes when the real worrying thing is him attacking deslination plants" and like, i agree but there's a way to make that point without being a giant prick. whatever man idk.

really annoyed at the level of condescension and smugness of some people i'm seeing on here towards just like, regular people who are freaking out for doing it "wrong". everyone's just people and we're scared man

Hello from the fine state of Minnesota!

"This is a distraction" is just a lie. "They are taking your money and using it to commit criminal acts beyond our comprehension" is 100% true. I think we should tell the truth and not the lie. The latter also has the benefit of at least somewhat centering the issue of atrocities.

Apparently people go to the doctor when they have a shard of glass in their foot instead of digging it out themselves at home like I have done. Huh.

Twin Cities.

it’s very funny to come on bluesky and implore everyone to call their reps, this is the nerd website, we are way ahead of you. go explain what a government is to the people on threads

I don’t think Americans really understand how this is going to unfold.

Congress is on it

Maybe it was Israel that had the PEE TAPE all along

The rest of the world should probably collectively stand up to the U.S. right now, tbh

Doomsday Prepper Megan not looking so dumb now huh
