Crude did a $20 jump the moment futures opened up. I would probably expect to be near $150 or above by Friday. The markets aren't tolerating caps lock boomer rants on twitter from Trump any longer and this shit is going to the moon.
 
A little light entertainment for the evening. We used to be a serious country (this is a lie).

do we refine it buddy or do we send it to china to be refined, controlling the supply of refined gallium is what leads to that 98% number, not that 98% of all gallium is inside china.
How do you think defense-related supply chains work in the US? Sure 98% is done in China but anyone wanting to sell to Uncle Sam is going to make damn sure their supply comes from the remaining 2%. When it's such a lynch pin component like you say there's no chance they would rely on foreign sourcing unless it's an extremely close ally and domestic production isn't possible. In the vanishingly rare cases where allied sourcing isn't even an option, they're not just going to source enough for initial production. They would need a stockpile to prove it wouldn't be an issue before the DoW ever signs a check. This likely isn't the case as I can freely order Gallium Nitrate from Thermo Fischer right now if I were so inclined.
 
I've seen Telegram channels claiming this is oil igniting but to me it looks like a natural gas pipeline exploding. Why would there be an oil pipeline under the sidewalk?
To get it to a refinery near the coast. Not a crazy alignment, particularly in some third world shithole. I agree it looks more like natural gas in a sewer/drainage pipe though. I don’t think the flame could propagate so quickly if it wasn’t premixed.
 
The footage published by Mehr "news" agency claiming to show an American tomahawk striking the "Minab" school actually shows the IRGC base nearby being hit.

I was debating posting the video here this morning but it looked too much like AI.
Its funny because Mr. Racewar1488 is the name I'd assume Epstein would use here.
heh heh someone's got a wild imagination. Now remove this post or else you'll be taking a one way trip to a ranch in New Mexico.



Missiles armed with cluster warhead detonated over Central Israel.




Cluster munitions made it through the interceptors in Israel.



Missile debris fell on the Jewish settlement of Modi'in Ilit in the occupied West Bank.



Shortly afterward, the IRGC Aerospace Force released footage of Khorramshahr‑4 ballistic missiles being launched toward Israel.

makes more sense for it to be ng.
this actually happened in north east america a few years ago where a ng pipeline under the street blew up.
it blew up a bunch of houses and also shot manhole covers 100 feet into the air.
 
I know it's been said before, but genuinely the scariest part of this whole thing is how much AI bullshit is spread around and, more importantly, how many people fall for it.
Bro, those people can vote, they're adults, and given that the technology will only improve I'll be real seeing people do absolutely no research and just assuming it's all real scares me for what the future of information warfare looks like.
 
Explosive thrown near NYC mayors home, being investigated as a terror incident, possible Iranian sleeper cells?

 
Following the strike on Ramada Plaza Hotel in Beirut's Raouche neighborhood:

Information obtained by LBCI revealed that the individuals who were eliminated as a result of the strike were 4 Iranians who had entered the hotel with documents that did not belong to them, as they had been booked by Lebanese people and were gathered in one room at the moment this room was targeted by a drone.

Not even lebanon is boycotting McDonald's. I love how out of touch the anti Israel people are.
 
Man, the news moves so fast I don't even know who is top dog any more. Gonna see who runs things these days on the wiki pages....

Vacant? That can't be right...

Vahid Shahcheraghi (Persian: وحید شاه‌چراغی, born 27 June 1958), better known as Ahmad Vahidi (Persian: احمد وحیدی), is an Iranian military officer who was appointed commander-in-chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on 1 March 2026.

Oh.

Welp, good luck Mr. Vahid!

That's why I made the post about AI earlier in the thread. It's not enough to just tell people "That's AI", because what they hear when you just flatly say that is "You are gullible, you are dumb." What we should be doing is pulling our punches a bit with friends and family, saying instead, "I think this video is AI, and here's 3 specific examples of why I think it's AI," so we can teach our friends and family how to spot it. This video demonstrates how to do it.

We have very little time left to arm our friends and families against gay AI slop. Pretty soon, AI will work out how to hide obvious tells like the thousand fingers, messed up text, and merged unitooth, and the only way anyone will be able to tell is through continuity and logic, which are not most people's strong suits. If we all start working with our close contacts now, by the time AI becomes nearly undetectable, we will have at least trained them to look at all videos with a judgmental eye.

This problem is not new, but rather, new-er. We've already been through the same thing with photoshop before. AI is simply the next generation of the same concept.

Thread tax: how many days until Mojtaba Khamenei is roasted in the Holy Fire of Vengeance by the US/IDF?

Vote 🐐 for days, 🐐 🐐 for months, and 🐐 🐐 🐐 for never, he'll die of old age in his bed. Locking in my vote now:

🐐

Also MES getting arrested is the funniest part of the day.
 
I was debating posting the video here this morning but it looked too much like AI.
My twitter feed is overflowing with Groyper-types reposting that video in between screaming about oil prices and Trump being owned by the jews.

To me it looks pretty obviously AI, as the explosion is entirely wrong for a Tomahawk missile; far too small and too vertical. I've seen plenty of Tomahawk impact videos and they never generate a narrow black cloud like that. Even the way it grows upwards rather than explosively expanding outward looks very AI-generated.

I suppose it could be one of Iran's cruise missiles (which look similar enough to Tomahawks but are much smaller). Ya-Ali probably has 100-150lbs of explosive, about a third to a half of a Tomahawk's warhead, which would better fit the size of the explosion. But it still doesn't look right.
 
I hope this time they just take everybody in that cemetery instead of one, just gotta be really sure this time.
I hope they give that random Lebanese grandpa another proper burial while they’re back in the cemetery
