BREAKING: US military aircraft are being evacuated from Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, per initial reports.
This is a major imminent strikes indicator.

impressive from $TSLA
- miss on revenue
- 2.6% operating margins
- energy, their big growth driver is -16%
- automotive revenue -3%
This is a car company who gaslights people into thinking it's an energy company and here we are with car sales down and energy sales down too.
Everyone wants Ohtani healthy but this has such bad vibes to it.
He had multiple injuries and the answer is…it’s all going to be ok
I hope it is
Shohei Ohtani will NOT need surgery this off-season. The Dodgers are still planning on having him pitch again in 2027, per @BNightengale
The actual response to this should be ‘go f#%k yourselves’
Canada and Canadians have every right in the world to say whatever we want
Same way the Americans do
This is performative BS
I assume it was also about Iran given Canada’s support for the war to date
PM Carney, Trump spoke this morning ‘for quite some time,’ addressed ‘some of the issues around trade’ ctvnews.ca/politics/article/…
We are so much closer to the start of this war than the end of this war
Shame on everyone who started this or supported it
Gaming is provincial but the disaster we are facing was triggered by a federal parliament decision
And it wasn’t the ‘government’ - it was a private members bill that got passed (and I supported it, and was so very wrong)
But the status quo isn’t tenable - we all know that
The federal government is going to face a ton of pressure in the next year or two to reverse the prohibition on sports betting if the provinces don’t take real action
The best solution IMO is ban the apps - allow in person sports books at casinos.

JD is saying Amy Acton was not raped as a little girl. Even though there are court documents reviewed by *National Review* that confirm details of her story. Even though Acton’s brother backs her story. Vance has a daughter. But like Bernie Moreno, Vance is such a sycophant that he can’t even be a father first for two minutes. It’s always politics and always the most vile politics. Just an abject failure of a man and a father.
What would they say if we had ads on air right now in key states?
Asking because….

The same people who tell us to "get over" the Epstein files are now telling you to "stop whining" over an ad that attacks a woman by recruiting her estranged mom, who is complicit in years of childhood sexual abuse.
I’m a Republican, but our party has a serious problem.

CNN: JD Vance tells Republicans to “stop whining” over Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad
“Politics is a tough business, and my message to my fellow elected Republicans is: if you actually believe in the things you say you believe in, stop whining about an advertisement and go win the race in 13 days.”

JD Vance, author of “Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith,” has a closing midterm message for Republicans: stop whining about child rape
He wrote an entire F#%KING book about his traumatic childhood and why we should have empathy for people who go through trauma
But now he puts on his mascara and says using BEING THE VICTIM OF CHILD ABUSE as a political wedge is not something he’s concerned about
Rob Silver retweeted
Jesus fucking Christ. This is the most vile and disgusting thing I have ever heard in politics. Vivek is mocking a Amy Acton for being a victim of childhood abuse and sexual assault.
Turkey has purchased about 1/3rd of Russia’s exported diesel this year

In a functioning society he would have gone to jail after funding secured and this nonsense wouldn’t have gotten to this point of cartoonish fraud
At some point, this level of hubris (confidently predicting 2027 $SPCX revenue at $500 Billion to $1 Trillion), becomes indistinguishable from a scam.
Because where will that revenue come from?
Elon is assuming there is infinite demand for data center rentals at $50 per watt per year, even though it costs less than $50 per watt to build a data center. His assumption is that if SpaceX can put up 10-20GW of DCs x $50 per watt, that = $500-$1,000 Billion of revenue.
I think at best, it's irresponsible to set such expectations with your shareholders, and at worst, it's very hard to tell it apart from what a scammer might say.
