BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades hit the market. $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold. These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else. They made huge gains. Unusual.

"What kind of TSA PreCheck Member are you"

I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some connection to trying to get them to quit so it can be privatized

We could switch to driving everywhere this summer except gas and electricity is going to cost more than cocaine

Jesus h Christ remembering how I got threatened with arrest for filming the Muslim ban protests & lawyer mobilizations at JFK airport in 2017 and had to run and hide. So sick of the same fascist bullshit for a whole fucking decade of our lives.

Terrific reading, by @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social

Why are they wearing camouflage tactical gear in brightly lit airport?

My letterboxd brief thoughts on fantastic Project Hail Mary, which on surface is a pop crowd pleaser about how science, friends & teachers can be our salvation, but I see as secretly what it was like emotionally for us all to become suddenly isolated & facing apocalypse in 2019-2020. boxd.it/dE4uAv

A part of me wonders what might have been for my screenplay adaptation of Peter Watts’ Blindsight with different timing, except I tried to be as true to the book’s tone and revelations about life in our cosmos, which is the brutal opposite of this crowd pleasing movie lol.

A friend of mine saw this entire thing play out and has photos of 30+ SFPD officers arriving on scene to aid Ice with assaulting these women at the airport last night, if any journalists want them I can connect you. I think airports are about to become the next Minneapolis and Chicago.

And just like some unethical poly situations I didn’t want to be in this one, but my country told me I would have to accept it or leave them

Every time this guy speaks all i hear is some bureaucrat in a Godzilla movie trying to hide the government caused Godzilla to defend itself

The reason no American president was ever stupid enough to start a war with Iran is because there’s a big pile of natural gas in the Middle East and they’re turning it into fertilizer. But the administration of aesthetics decided that it can only good happen. And now, that pillar is getting bombed

‘Doing security like no one’s ever seen before’ sounds like someone js going to get shot by ice at an airport

Be careful what you wish for you may get it 😭

I do try to rationalize there are no conspiracies, no group in power is ever that competent, and history is the result of the unintended consequences of plans going wrong. The war on Iran leading to chip fabrication shortages & Jenga smashing the AI bubble to smithereeens would be the funniest one.

We are about 7 months from the US midterm elections, and 2 years 9 months still to go with this fucking destructive maniac as President…

I’m a lunatic because I have a personal conspiracy theory that the massive wealth transfer to the 1% that happened during the height of Covid is something they want to happen again, but uh this thread isn’t helping my paranoia

Billions of people, possibly including you reading this, are alive today because you can run natural gas into a reactor and spit out ammonia (Haber Bosch). A large % of the installed base for that process is shut in or exploded. It’s northern hemisphere spring.

I’m curious to find out if this is finally the one that leads to riots

Isn’t this Bari Weiss’ university?

Years ago he was being straight up misogynistic, and a hilariously self delusional rant where he bragged about being more powerful than studio heads, so I just blocked him from everything. Occasionally YouTube algorithm shows me him in a thumbnail and he looks more miserable than Gregg in On Cinema

Jeff Sneider is a toxic parasite and there’s been plenty of reports from reputable sources of Chalamet getting $25 million for some of his roles. Nobody’s business but Jordan’s and he deserves more in comparison to his peers frankly, good on his agent waiting for after the Oscars to close the deal.

Jesus, they weren’t bloody joking.

my friend it gets better

Love to hear about my friend’s wins reading the news

Exact same energy

I’ve seen some smart people say the self lighting faces in DLSS5 probably comes from how much the ai was trained on stealing people’s faces from social media using ring lights

There was no fucking way those yassified faces were just from lighting, was so depressing to see Grace from Resident Evil turned into the same generic AI waifu face that gives me the shivers, like I glanced sideways at a Cthulu mimicking a human

Hey guess what Bari Weiss did the night before she announced she was firing 6% of CBS News? According to Keith McNally’s occasional fun report from his GM at restaurant Balthazar, she went out and celebrated, with bodyguards. Ryan Gosling came in without them lol! www.instagram.com/p/DWHyPTYkRf...

Not Jesus having a targeting reticle??

Here is video proof the worst vehicle you could ever design is an AI centered 3 wheeler, I would tag will I am but he’s on twitter of course youtu.be/Sg4p-NAKcco?...

Holy shit a single rider three wheeler (a configuration banned for dirtbikes since 1988) that he says can go go 0-60 mph in 2 seconds and is for reviewing pdf’s while on the way home, and relies on AI but has no self driving, is what you’d want if you designed the ultimate urban death torpedo.

When I used to get high an unfathomable amount of Doritos and Rolos would teleport into my body

WW3 is being fought by a hegemonic superpower with F35 fighter jets, stealth bombers & the largest nuclear arsenal that has zero effectiveness against one guy with a tiny motorboat and a single RPG launcher that can shut down the world’s energy supply

So somehow the USA has set off WW3 against the entire world but no one can stop it because its government doesn’t have functioning opposition and the rest of the world is hooked on US dollars?

My first job ever on a movie was as a PA and when the studio head CEO came to visit I was tasked full time with following him around without being seen, with constantly refreshed cups of unmelted ice, for when he wanted a Diet Pepsi. Fucking nuts.

Not just the passive voice without taking responsibility for putting people out of work, this reads like ChatGPT voice?

This is cool but also reminds me that when I lived in Ireland as a teen I had exactly 3 tv channels and no video games and and I got so much done. RTE 2 is also the first place I ever saw Cronenberg’s Dead Ringers

For several years, Scott & I each received a $79.50 check every quarter from the Disney Cruise Line for their Doctor Strange actor using our dialog. Always took Jess out for dinner every time that came in.

Omg WGA residuals checks showing up this year in the mail on my birthday, one bright spot in a brutal month

Can’t stop thinking about JG Ballard’s ‘The Secret History of WW3’ where a lone paranoiac reveals only he noticed World War 3 took place in margins of television after it became dominated with 24-7 live feeds of Ronald Reagan’s biomedical data. I think it’s happening now but with Trump’s psychosis.

Great 🧵 on video games’ influence on culture:

qatar is about to start cutting helium exports... helium is used for chip production... the iran war is about to turn the ai bubble into the hindenburg

this morning anya taylor-joy was hit with a question that has never been asked before in the history of the universe

Now I want to make a movie adaptation of William S Burroughs based off this the way Emerald Fennell did for Wuthering Heights
