I love Econ-positng. Dan Habsmith of Guttermeyer Associates posts the most confusing chart you've ever seen and says "Quite surprising VARG numbers, SPLG index showing movement" and you get the context by one of his mutuals quoting it with "Buy a fucking gun and head for the hills. Right now."
All the best oracle are saying, Donald, if you invade PERSIA, a great empire will fall! We love our ORACLES, especially as regards to Delphi and Future! thank you for your attention to this matter!

This report keeps going around, which is funny because
1. The data here is garbage, and these numbers are not close to accurate for The Verge
2. I am the person who started warning everyone about Google Zero ages ago, and we have been hedging against this forever

I dunno, if I were Jeffrey Goldberg, author of "How Did I Get Iraq Wrong?' (2008), I might pause for a moment before cheerleading another war in the same region.
New from 404 Media: Proton Mail, the privacy-focused email service, gave authorities data that let the FBI unmask an anonymous 'Stop Cop City' protester. It was payment data linked to the anonymous email account. From that, FBI ID'd them, then tracked their movements www.404media.co/proton-mail-...
Spanish PM Pedro SΓ‘nchez: βToday more than ever, it is essential to remember that one can be against a hateful regime as is the case with the Iranian regimeβ¦and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.β
Looks like we have a second vessel hit by an Iranian drone.
Also, just minutes ago, Maersk, the world's second-largest container shipping company, suspended transits of the Strait of Hormuz for all of its vessels.
Phil Stewart ( @phildstewart (Reuters) - Iran's Supreme National Security Council must make the final decision on whether to close the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's Press TV said on Sunday, after parliament reportedly approved the measure. The decision to close the strait, through which around 20% of global oil and gas demand flows, is not yet final. But lawmaker and Revolutionary Guards Commander Esmail Kosari told the Young Journalist Club on Sunday that doing so is on the agenda and "will be done whenever necessary." 8:24 AM β’ 6/22/25 β’ 9.3K Views
Update:
IRGC Commander says he believes closing the Hormuz Strait is on the agenda and "will be done whenever necessary."
Crowdsourcing: of all the coverage on the Iran strikes in U.S. media and elsewhere today and leading up to today β how much of what youβve seen has mentioned the UN charter? I have yet to see *any* mention.

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.
From Hunter S. Thompsonβs ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.
The Israeli public broadcaster confirms that the nuclear talks with Iran were all a ruse. Trump and Netanyahu has decided on this war weeks ago. www.kan.org.il/content/kan-...
Here we go, the first ship is turning around. According to MarineTraffic, the Indian-flagged crude oil tanker "Desh Abhimaan" just made a 180 degree turn next of the Strait of Hormuz.
Channel 12 reported that Trump and Netanyahu settled on this course of action during the Israeli PM's visit to Washington on February 11. That suggests weeks of negotiations have all been for show. www.mako.co.il/news-militar...
In Iran, air power alone will not reshape the regime. Since WWI, dozens of U.S., Israeli & allied air campaigns have tried to force political change β none installed friendly governments. None! They strengthen nationalism and intensify resistance.

Wrote about how the incredibly thin-skinned leadership of Palantir sued a small Swiss publication for publishing a deeply researched article that was only mildly embarrassing for the company (about why the Swiss gov't keeps ghosting them).
CSIS' China Power project just updated their data on purged military officials, and it is very informative: chinapower.csis.org/china-pla-mi...
Pretty rich of Jack Clark to go on the Ezra Klein podcast days before this to pontificate about AI safety, honesty and trust.

Burn it all down
This is also true of the universities, law firms, and media orgs that settled with Trump. They gave away their integrity and their rightsβand got what in return? www.nytimes.com/2026/02/22/b...
I genuinely wonder sometimes if people around Trump are showing him fake, AI-generated video or something.

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.
