The article also speculates that Trump's surrender in Iran could be very bad for Israel, thanks to Iran's control of the Straight of Hormuz:

In a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday, Trump reportedly explained that the United States was negotiating a “letter of intent” with Iran that would “formally end the war and launch a 30-day period of negotiations” on Iran’s nuclear program and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The purpose and effect of such an agreement should be clear: The United States is walking away from the crisis.

According to one U.S. official, Netanyahu’s “hair was on fire” after the call with Trump—for good reason. The Iran war may end up as the single most devastating blow to Israel’s security in its brief history. On the present trajectory, Iran will emerge from the conflict many times stronger and more influential than it was before the war. It will exercise leverage with dozens of the richest nations in the world, all of which will have an acute interest in keeping Iran happy. They will be unlikely to take Israel’s side in any conflict that it has with Tehran or with its proxies in Lebanon and Gaza, because Iran will have the means to punish them if they do. Israel will emerge more isolated than it has been at any time in its history—and not least from its only reliable protector, the United States. When Trump turns his back on Israel, as he must do to implement this policy, MAGA will gladly follow. The bipartisan anti-Israel consensus in the United States will grow and harden.

PIC season 3 is good, season 1 has stuff that matters for season 3, and season 2... happened. It's so weird to me that seasons 2 and 3 were shot back-to-back but 3 totally ignored 2's loose ends.

Same rules as the Starfleet Academy auctions:

The rules for the new auction remain the same as the previous ones, requiring bidders to be residents of Ontario or place a deposit with a Canadian bank. Bids can be placed online, but you need to pick up items in person as 403 auctions is not shipping anything.

"In a rapidly changing world, Canada must become the source of our own affordable, clean, reliable power because when we master energy, we master our destiny," Carney said.

Maybe he could try announcing some clean energy developments once in a while instead of a stream of fossil fuel announcements.

The people who use "plummet" to describe a 1% drop.

They're pushing to be employees instead of independent contractors, which may be relatable for gig workers:

That's why Montreal sex worker Adore Goldman is organizing another strike, this time in the midst of F1 weekend — one of the busiest times of the year for the city's clubs — to demand greater labour protections and push for the decriminalization of sex work.

She says strippers' employment status as independent contractors, which is now an industry-wide norm, has for too long shielded club owners from ensuring safe working conditions.

"Being recognized as an employee, your employers have to guarantee your safety and ... your mental health at work," she said. "Like sexual violence that happened in the clubs in the past, if we were employees, the person could get compensated if it was a work accident because it is a work accident."

The nine-person jury found that Musk waited too long to file his lawsuit and missed the deadline for the statute of limitations.

Why did there even need to be a trial? Couldn't the statue of limitations have been applied before it got that far?

"Effective immediately, the ​United States Navy, the Finest in ​the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING ‌any ⁠and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz," said Trump, who is strongly opposed to the ​idea of ​Iran charging ⁠ships a toll to pass through the strait.

"I have also ​instructed our Navy to seek and ​interdict ⁠every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one ⁠who ​pays an illegal toll ​will have safe passage on the high seas," he ​said.

Pretty sure what Trump is opposed to is him not getting a cut of the toll.

Perhaps it should have been wide adoption that led to a boom, instead of a boom in hope of adoption?

“She is evil, chosen solely because she checked identity politics boxes,” Cernovich wrote. “Another DEI hire. It always ends badly.”

She was DEI hired by your guy, motherfucker.

Youtube and Instagram tried for years to lure in Tiktok users, and they failed so badly that even with Tiktok potentially getting banned, people would rather switch to a different potentially sketchy Chinese app.

Similar vibes than Reddit api pricing

Reddit got the idea from Elon's twitter API fees. This is Elon being consistent(ly terrible).
