I simply do not believe OpenAI here. $2 billion a month? Also, based on my own reporting, there was never a single quarter in 2024 when OpenAI made $1 billion. The closest it got was Q4CY24, when it made (based on its revshare w/ Microsoft) around $839 million. www.wheresyoured.at/oai_docs/#q4...

Xinhua: "China's SOEs saw their total revenue rise 0.2 percent year on year in the first two months of 2026, while total profits fell 2 percent and total tax payments fell 2.3 percent." This in an economy that grew nominally by around 4% last year. english.news.cn/20260331/d48...

I have experienced similar pile-ons when my summary of a court's holding was mistaken for my personal view on the matter. This insistence on stripping a post of context then imputing bad faith is making BlueSky unusable for legal reporting. Today's incident shows that the problem is getting worse.

FYI: I am going to stop summarizing Supreme Court decisions on here as they come down. One comment has been plucked out of context of all my reporting, misread, and used as the basis of a mean-spirited pile-on. I am not going to subject myself to this. If this was your goal, then congratulations.

Ukrainian president Zelensky quickly takes advantage of Trump ineptitude and makes 'deals' with Persian Gulf states while the US flails:

If he goes he will 100% fall asleep

OPEC oil output fell to its lowest level in March since the height of the COVID in June 2020, falling 7.3M barrels a day for the month (and production at the end of the month was much worse) www.reuters.com/business/ene...

Trump Admin looking at how to address possible $150-$200/barrel oil “They’re trying to come up with every conceivable idea that might alleviate energy prices, including the exercise of emergency powers and authorities and national defense reasons” www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

“Bucha survived 33 days of russian occupation, terror, torture — 33 days of total evil. 600 murdered Ukrainian men and women. Russia called it staged. Russia always does this. Actually, all evil acts this way.” President Zelenskyy addressed the European leaders at the Bucha Summit.

I think it says a lot about the competency and expertise of Fox News anchors that every time one of them gets promoted to a cabinet position, they are by a considerable margin the least competent individuals to ever hold those positions.

At this rate Trump is going to declare victory while the Iranian regime is still in place with not only their uranium but now in control of trade and every single former ally furious at us & going into economic recessions

Trump has basically destroyed every single alliance & friendship the USA spent decades building

Maybe we can even get a Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and convince another five countries to sign onto it.

all of this is a lie, there isn’t $18T in foreign investments coming to USA, construction jobs building manufacturing facilities are dropping, and manufacturing jobs are dropping.

Trump does have a strategy: lie about everything. Now, with Iran that means saying we achieved all our goals, mission accomplished, and now we move on.

BREAKING: Average diesel prices have set a new record in Florida ($5.73/gal) and Arizona ($6.07/gal) today

Election gods, if you are listening, please send Viktor Orbán in Hungary packing on April 12. All of Donald Trump's friends must be defeated.

Ignoring that the GOP as the majority party control what is voted on, Congress is on vacation…

the most corrupt administration in history, every day a Teapot Dome level scandal

this is just a total disaster

USA average gas prices per GasBuddy now over $4/gallon after rising over $1 in the past month

To be clear with how I feel about it. Anyone in the military who directs or carries out strikes on desalination plants should be in prison when this is over.

A really brutal year awaits the Western USA

Honestly such an unhinged post. Bed of jawbone, pinch of "probably will be", and finished with a dash of deeply irresponsible war crime threats that also risk spiraling energy facility attacks to a place from out of which it will take *years* to climb.

The impact global natural gas shortages are having on the USA vs Europe/Asia:

29.03.2026: LNG tanker Boris Vilkitsky is currently delivering 172,000 m³ of LNG from Sabetta (Yamal LNG), shitnya, to Zeebrugge, Belgium 🇧🇪. The cargo's value is approximately €35 million. #BloodGas #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦

Wheatstone LNG, which supplied 2.4% of global LNG in February is now offline for weeks after Cyclone Narelle caused damage, exacerbating supply issues. finance.yahoo.com/news/chevron...

Brent now at $115 edging close to the highs last seen in the opening months of the Russian invasion of Ukraine

Man

Give us the nuclear dust 🤷‍♂️

Coal companies in the Kuzbass are facing a critical shortage of gondola railway cars to transport their production. A side effect of growing maintenance costs combined with stagnant transportation rates have made these railway cars unprofitable for operators.

2/ "There is hardly anyone left on the National Security Council staff. A friend described an empty State Department where you could hear your own foot steps. Marco Rubio is involved in the decision-making but he has neglected to acquire the professional staff assessments that should inform such...

1/ A very strikingly gloomy summary from the great Professor Sir Lawrence Freedman - here's an extract to whet your appetite: "It is hard to convey the gloom that has overtaken Washington. All the structures that are vital to crisis management have either been attenuated or disbanded."

From now on this is the only way I will travel

dropped by a military historian convention to see a friend today, and about half of the conversations I eavesdropped on in the lounge (as well as our conversation) were basically 'I can't believe how goddamn stupid this war is'

It is insane to me that the USA could possibly be in a ground war in a matter of weeks (days?) with ZERO Congressional approval or even debate.

Well that E-3 it a total loss.

Ukraine forging military/economic agreements with Gulf States is a significant plus, especially with their current relations with russia

The economic & social impact of this much supply being taken off the market so quickly is immense and grows everyday. And not just oil shortages but gas, fertilizer, raw materials, etc.

the winter that never was

this summer is likely going to suck in the western USA.

🇮🇷💩 If anyone had any doubts: the Iranian president thanked Russia in Russian for its support "President Putin's messages and the support of the Russian people inspire us in this war.

In Luhansk, a Ruzzian mobile multi-channel radio relay station R-416G-MS was destroyed by Ukraine. Ruzzia needs these comm units more than ever now that StarLink has been shutdown for the Ruzzians

I just returned from a volunteer mission in Dnipro. I purchased and helped deliver 3 Starlink to a Ukrainian military unit. It was immensely satisfying. My host was the nonprofit Dobra Sprava. Would you like to volunteer too? I can give you a roadmap. @ukrainetrustchain.bsky.social
