NBC: Europe has ‘maybe 6 weeks of jet fuel left,’ energy agency head says
IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol warned that major economic disruptions are not far off for parts of Asia and Europe if ships are not allowed through the Strait of Hormuz.
Europe has “maybe 6 weeks or so (of) jet fuel left,” the head of the International Energy Agency said Thursday in a wide-ranging Associated Press interview, warning of possible flight cancellations “soon” if oil supplies remain blocked by the Iran war.
IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol painted a sobering picture of the global repercussions of what he called “the largest energy crisis we have ever faced,” stemming from the pinch-off of oil, gas and other vital supplies through the Strait of Hormuz.
He apparently decided to strategically employ severe cringe to drive the point home:
“In the past there was a group called ‘Dire Straits.’ It’s a dire strait now, and it is going to have major implications for the global economy. And the longer it goes, the worse it will be for the economic growth and inflation around the world,” he said.
Don’t try his Safehold series either; the arms race stuff is kinda fun but it has horrendous lib brainworms; I barely struggled through the last volume just after beginning my leftward political journey and it was painful even back then.
Technically, the Thirty Years War lasted weeks. Over 1500 of them, sure, but it did last weeks.
Yes, don’t bother paying any attention to biological realities like the possibility of sex-chromosome trisomies (and other genetic oddities), just draw a stupid line in the sand based on a sub-101-level understanding of biology, to solve an issue that doesn’t even exist, in order to appease bigots!

Someone on Reddit who appears to have been close to Bushnell contends that this is not true: https://old.reddit.com/r/trans/comments/1bdj9lm/can_we_talk_about_aaron_bushnell_for_a_minute/
They’ve become sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy at this point (the algos all react to Trump posts, so the markets move in response to him, so the algos keep his posts weighted highly), so I think it’s gonna take human traders cashing in on the swings (and in so doing, sending countervailing market signals) to drive the shift in market behavior.
This claim can be sourced to the Jerusalem Post. I’m gonna go ahead and wait for confirmation from a trustworthy source, thanks.

I still think you’re giving this administration too much credit. The way I see it, this Iran attack was Trump thinking he could do what no president had done before (regime change and, by extension, a thawing of relations between the US and Iran), because he did essentially that in Venezuela, and I don’t think he recognized any of the differences between the two countries regarding strategic leverage. Everything the man does is about his own ego at the end of the day–I don’t think he has a coherent idea of how everything comes together other than simple might-makes-right. The old state department ghouls (whose views were the basis of what became US policy on Ukraine under Biden) are no longer in charge, so the idea there’s an overarching plan anymore is, in my opinion, inaccurate.
the current conflicts are clearly about attempting to encircle China before a direct confrontation
I’m gonna be honest, I grow tired of seeing people, especially on this site, assuming anyone in the West is playing 5D chess. As far as I can tell, no one in charge anywhere in the West is competent enough to be doing so. This conflict is absolute idiocy, and trying to read into it as if it isn’t is going to lead to all kinds of bizarre and deeply incorrect conclusions.

Is it really body-shaming if the body in question has been intentionally modified specifically to become something horrifying? Because I refuse to believe this is a natural face, it’s too uncanny.
So, uh…can we get an update to the Code of Conduct page, maybe? A certain section of it seems rather relevant right about now.
