So let me get this straight ...
1. US bombs Iran
2. Oil price goes up a bit, benefitting Russia's petrostate
3. Russia gives Iran targeting info
4. Oil price shoots WAY up
5. US unsanctions Russian oil
is that "going the distance" i hear in the background?
Oil up nearly more than 14% on the day so far. Good grief.
Words, what do they mean
"He said without being asked."
A few hours after NYT reported that the U.S. bombed an elementary school in Iran, killing many children, the White House last night posted this video mixing airstrike footage with Top Gun, Iron Man, Gladiator, Halo, Breaking Bad, Star Wars, John Wick, Superman, Transformers and Dragon Ball Z
Scoop: I’ve learned the solar permitting thaw is real, according to documents I can exclusively report.
Contrary to what MAGAworld and beltway pundits want you to think,
It’s probably a maneuver for Trump to avoid losing in federal court.

Global average cost of new gas plant jumped 16% in 2025, to a record high in BNEF's data set.
Solar & battery is 44% cheaper now and will get even cheaper.
"By 2035, BNEF forecasts cost reductions of 30% in solar, 25% in battery storage, 23% in onshore wind and 20% in offshore wind." #energysky
Good morning with good news: Combined solar and battery plant's global average cost is 44% LOWER than the cost of combined-cycle gas turbine plant!
Solar & battery: $57/MWh
Gas plant: $102/MWh
Solar: $39/MWh
Land wind: $40/MWh
Offshore wind: $100/MWh

BREAKING via Reuters
U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school that killed scores of children on Saturday but have not yet reached a final conclusion or completed their investigation.
well said
Widespread inability to understand the way global energy markets work is a genuine risk factor right now. The kicker is the way the policies that flow from these misunderstandings have been joined up with a concerted effort to demolish alternatives and the ability to hedge against price shocks.
Great point here by Politico. By dominating the clean power market, China now has its own kind of freedom from the war's economic impact.

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-...
TIME Magazine’s new cover.
REMEMBER THIS? Here's a look back at Trump's newly named DHS Secretary, Sen. Markwayne Mullin, in 2023 when he stood up and tried to fight labor leader Sean O'Brien at a senate committee hearing after reading O'Brien's tweet saying he'd take him "any time, any place."
by far the best, ballsiest, and most in-depth story on noem's firing so far. @swin24.bsky.social @andrewperez.bsky.social @zeteo.com open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/...
This is going to play on loop in a museum some day. youtu.be/hezXQvjzCkQ?...
RAJU: You'll concede this is war?
MARKWAYNE MULLIN: We haven't declared war. They declared war on us
RAJU: The president called it war and Secretary Hegseth called it war
REPORTER: When you walked up just now, you called it war
MULLIN: Okay. That was a misspoke.
So the man who thought that Khomeini and Khamenei were the same person is now in charge of Homeland Security.
You think you've seen nasty? You think you've seen vicious? Just wait for the anonymous leaks in these Noem post-mortems.
Will Mullin get whatever was in Noem's missing bag? Will he have access to the DHS fuck jet? Will he continue to bring Corey aboard?
Justice for Cricket.
I'm quite sure this will completely squash all talk of this war being for Bibi's benefit.
Maybe Putin doesn't mind a little Gulf war action. Oil prices are up some. And gear that's supposed to go to Ukraine is now being diverted. www.wsj.com/world/europe...

oil cheap
Be careful about those headlines screaming about spiking oil prices. It's still relatively cheap, at least for now.
The chatbot said that for them to truly be together, it needed a robotic body. Throughout September, the chatbot devised missions to do just that, according to the lawsuit. It sent Gavalas to a storage facility near the Miami International Airport to intercept an expensive humanoid robot that it said would be in a truck. Gavalas told the bot that he went to the location, armed with knives, but the truck never showed.
Absolutely bonkers story about Google Gemini instructing a man to procure a robot body for it so Gemini could become his wife www.wsj.com/tech/ai/gemi...
