The EU building 4,000 military vehicles sounds a stretch until you consider the EU manufactures ~15m cars a year. Industrial capacity is not the issue here.

Maybe just buy a lot of short dated puts then put the block out. If the US is going to be down several regulatory entities might as well have some fun.

Getting close to a mobile handset moment where incremental improvements in EVs get to a point where customers are not going to care too much and it all becomes run of the red queen dynamics in autos again.

the rise of the fascist nerds was anticipated by Ellen Ullman's 1995 essay "Out of Time: Reflections on the Programming Life."

*chef’s kiss*

The Philadelphia Eagles 🦅 have declined an invitation to the White House to celebrate their awesome victory with this shit ass piece of shit. 💩 This is really America’s team, goddamnit

In Germany, Fasching is underway (like Mardi Gras or Carnival). It's usually marked by brutal political humor, and this year, Trump is getting the worst of it. He's viewed uniformly as Putin's bitch.

This is really the backdrop for Dirty Harry: the Bay Area as some kind of depraved and decaying hell of petty crime and high IQ sociopaths including corrupt politicians.

The AI safety fringe literally eating the dark enlightenment MAGA types would be all too fitting an end to this

Blew off the mom of one of my 100s of kids to scream at astronauts online 4. Did practice Sieg Heils in the mirror 5. Cried about my broken, deformed dick -Eric (he/him)

A cool trick to fix this is have a government login like singpass so during election season you default to filtering out non citizens / non verified humans.

This is just as @alexbhturnbull.bsky.social predicted. on.ft.com/3X9G3KI Top shale boss says US oil companies will not flock back to Russia

Midcaps, small caps, and industrial stocks are all down since Election Day. This is very different from 2016-17:

And so it begins. #EnergySky.

Germany selling out to Russia over Nordstream was self-sabotage but it had a logic: Russia had cheap gas that Germany could use. The US turning towards Russia is mad. The US is the world’s biggest oil and gas producer. What does Russia have that America needs?

Why would Mussayev suddenly come out and say this now? bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

Any nation that is dependent on Starlink for military comms should be building sovereign capability. Don’t want to become a hostage to the whims and bullying from the US.

Dear German friends — we’re hearing in Canada how the far-right extremist AfD party is polling well in part because they’re “strong on social media”, Elon Musk’s interference, & their attempts to appear mainstream. Please look closely at the chaos Musk & extremists are creating in the United States.

Countries should be straight up banning Starlink -- massive national security risk

The US waged a global campaign against Huawei on *exactly this pretext* -- "do not trust a Chinese company with communications infrastructure, they will work against you when you are most vulnerable" Good luck trying to convince *any* country to boycott Chinese products after this incident

To get the EV tax credit “on the hood” you sign away your right to claim the credit to the dealer. This means that if congress repeals the credit, it will screw over dealers. Who are overwhelmingly Republicans. So I don’t see how they will repeal retroactively. #EnergySky

🤣. This is the best visual representation of our current times.

Why your coal stocks are down and probably not coming back: #EnergySky #Mongolia

MAGA remorse has begun.

The one area where this site is inferior to Twitter is the volume of this kind of defeatist bullshit This is the zero introspection, couch-keyboard-warrior crowd that cannot realize the obvious: your performative online cynicism about liberal democracy is possible only due to its resounding success

Moonraker, but with a sociopathic billionaire trying to colonise Mars

Good pod something for the lithium fans

I've never seen a better time in my investment career to buy Japanese defense stocks.

Prescient as ever #RATM

We warned all of you that you’d get conned.

So what’s it called when the elected leaders of the country don’t trust the police to keep them safe?

Delving into the latest AEMO report and it is fairly clear that strategic bidding is what is pushing up prices right now. Hopefully batteries ameliorate this over time #EnergySky

This prison sentence is great to see. I hope the thousands of other trolls who abused Brittany Higgins while she was suffering the traumatic aftermath of being raped consider the damage they did. Their only interest was defending a rapist. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

In local communities, building a member base and volunteer base. Where have I seen that work before?
