I can see the DOGE tweet: "We canceled a contract for Panamanian screwworms, saving $165 million dollars!!!" [aphis.usda.gov/news/agency-a…] Meanwhile: "The slightest oversight could undo all the work that came before."

Great move

So instead of shutting down that API for good, they just removed it from the page? Are meta employees on drugs??? You can read more on t.me/feds

Japan has one of the largest SPRs in the world. Falling fast though. They use about 3.24 million bbl/day and import 95%. Currently only getting 1/4-1/3 of what they need.

I don't give a shit if @jamestalarico eats weeds, fish, tofu or beef. It has zero bearing on my life. I am voting for the guy because he isn't a pedophile protecting lying adulterer like Ken Paxson. He wants to bring jobs to Texans, get us out of forever wars and fix healthcare.

The oil market’s recent complacency is fascinating—and dangerous. It reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of *how* the physical market bought itself breathing room recently. (🧵)

I used to be in charge of all the crude and product tank inventories in the refinery. Here is a simple picture of the operating levels of the tank. You've got deadstocks at the bottom of the tank because the pump nozzle is positioned slightly above a certain level. We used to call this 'the unpumpables'. Go below this level and your feed pump would cavitate. Big no-no. Then you get a minimum working level after catering for contingency levels (e.g. enough product stocks to cater for x days of unplanned shutdown). And although you have a huge tank that can technically fill to the brim, the actual working volume at the top is lower than the absolute max to also factor in for contingency levels (e.g. enough capacity to store off-spec rundown for an unplanned shutdown). Tank top scenario is a horror nobody wants to face due to risk of loss of primary containment (i.e. a safety incident). In the current low stocks environment in the US, you are going to 'scrape tank bottoms', up to the minimum working level. So you will always have some stocks because you can't draw to absolute zero. #oott

CEOs are quietly realizing the AI replacement plan has a problem. Two problems, actually. One: the token costs for running AI agents are now exceeding what they were paying the employees they fired. Two: when the tokens run out, the AI stops. Just stops. No continuity. No workaround. Just a spinning wheel where your workforce used to be. You fired humans to save money and bought a subscription that bills you into a corner. The employees you let go knew what to do when things broke. The AI just invoices you for the outage. And then there’s the permission problem nobody wants to talk about. To do its job, the AI agent needs access. Full access. Your systems, your patents, your contracts, your future plans. Everything you spent years building, handed over to a process that has no loyalty, no discretion, and no skin in the game. You didn’t hire a replacement. You gave a stranger with no soul the keys to everything you own. Enjoy.

I read all 277 pages of SpaceX's IPO filing so you don't have to. Losses up 700%. Revenue decelerating. 107x price-to-sales multiple. It's a trainwreck. Full breakdown below 👇

Over a million acres of pristine wilderness lakes in Minnesota. The most visited canoe country in America. Generations of families have paddled it, fished it, camped it. The Senate just sold it out outright. They called it "America First." Then handed it to a Chilean billionaire — so his company can ship the copper to China. The Senate voted 50-49 to gut 20 years of Boundary Waters mining protections. Here's the deal they made. A Chilean billionaire's company digs the mine. America can't smelt the copper — we don't have the capacity. So the ore ships to China. China processes it. Sells it on the world market. Chile keeps the profits. Minnesotans don't even get the jobs. Minnesota keeps the pollution. And Americans get to buy it back from China at full market price. This same company has a documented history at their Chilean mines: pipeline spills, regulatory fines, and locals fighting back for years. They paid a former Trump Interior Secretary $380K. The protection died by one vote. Here's exactly how it happened — and who made it happen. Who do YOU think this mine actually serves? #DemsUnited

Uber’s COO has said that it’s getting “harder to justify” its AI costs because there was no way to show a link between AI spend and any meaningful increase in useful features. This is the first time I’ve seen a company say this directly. businessinsider.com/uber-coo…

DeepSeek just popped the American AI bubble. Not by killing AI. By killing the fantasy of unlimited AI pricing power. DeepSeek V4 Pro: Input: $0.435 per 1M tokens Output: $0.87 per 1M tokens OpenAI GPT-5.5: Input: $5.00 Output: $30.00 Claude Opus 4.7: Input: $5.00 Output: $25.00 Claude Sonnet 4.6: Input: $3.00 Output: $15.00 DeepSeek is roughly: 11.5x cheaper than GPT-5.5 on input 34.5x cheaper than GPT-5.5 on output 28.7x cheaper than Claude Opus on output 17.2x cheaper than Claude Sonnet on output If a model is “good enough” at 1/20th or 1/30th the cost, margins will compress faster than Wall Street expects. AI is not dead. But the AI bubble just lost its pricing power. $NVDA $MU $AMD $SMCI $AVGO $ARM $MSFT $GOOGL $META $AMZN $ORCL $PLTR $CRWV $NBIS #AI #DeepSeek #AIBubble #ArtificialIntelligence #Semiconductors #HBM #DRAM #Nvidia #Micron #AMD #TechStocks #Nasdaq #StockMarket #Investing #WallStreet #YapayZeka #Borsa

On May 20th, literally minutes before the EIA announced the biggest US crude draw on record, the tape got slammed with headlines saying a US-Iran deal was a done deal. They explicitly pinned it to 'within hours' or 'tomorrow.' Total fiction obviously. Here we are on May 22nd, and that promised peace is still nowhere in sight Then came that garbage Al Arabiya report about Vahidi and the Pakistani minister, which we now know was a sham built on a photoshopped image from 2024. The funniest part? As soon as IRNA repeated the story, Al Arabiya bit their own tongue and denied they ever said a US-Iran accord was imminent. The bottom line is these hack reporters just dump fake narratives to move the tape, and they never face the music. It is a joke anyone would think calling this out isn't the most justified response. The oil complex’s price discovery is being completely broken by the artificial vol these clowns pump out. Wrong is wrong, period. Gaslighting the market like this is no different from victim-blaming in a sexual assault case and screaming, 'You asked for it.' The fraudsters are hiding in plain sight. They deserve to be dragged and held accountable, even if the financial media machine protects its own. #oott #iran

I think it’s worse. The Iranians will also build ICBM capable of reaching America. They will simply explode one about 300 miles above the center of the country and EMP us. Our own government studies say 90% of everyone in America dies within one year. Also Canada and Mexico are destroyed. Iran can never be allowed to have nuclear weapons.

Activist: "American cattle ranching is destroying the Great Plains." Rancher: "How many bison were here in 1800?" Activist: "A lot." Rancher: "Sixty million. Same biomass as every cow in America today. Standing on the same grass." Activist: "That was different." Rancher: "How?" Activist: "It was natural." Rancher: "It was ruminants. Eating grass. Trampling it. Dunging it. The grassland built six feet of topsoil underneath them." Activist: "Then we shouldn't have killed them." Rancher: "Correct. We killed them, ploughed the prairie, and got the Dust Bowl in thirty years. Largest ecological collapse in American history." Activist: "..." Rancher: "The fix wasn't fewer animals. The fix was putting them back. The grass evolved to be eaten." Activist: "So reintroduce bison." Rancher: "Or use the 1,200-pound ruminant that's already here, in the same numbers, doing the same job, on the same grass." Activist: "It's not the same." Rancher: "It's the same animal with a different accent." Activist: "It still feels wrong." Rancher: "The thing that felt wrong was killing the bison. The cattle are how we're paying it back. Take them off and you finish the job we started in 1870."
