🚨 BREAKING:

Iran didn't respond to US bombs with missiles.

They responded with GAME THEORY.

And in doing so, they may have just fired the most dangerous shot at the US dollar in 52 years.

Here's the move most people completely missed: 🧵

Jimmy Carr just gave teenage boys (and honestly, a lot of grown men) the rawest dating truth they need right now:

Girls aren’t looking for looks — they’re looking for competence.

He breaks it down with zero filter:

“You think because you look for looks in a girl, she’ll look for looks in you. She’s not. What women like is competence. And it takes a while to get competent.”

That’s why billionaires and boiler-fixers both turn heads — both demonstrate mastery. Both get shit done.

Carr’s direct advice to any young guy still figuring it out:

“Get your shit together. Stop asking what you want in the world and start thinking about what you can offer.”

No pickup lines. No games.

Just brutal, timeless clarity.

Fellas — what’s one skill or area of competence you’re actively building right now to become that guy?

@Daractenus Loop hole Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 gives the president authority to impose tariffs of up to 15% for up to 150 days to address trade deficits or dollar crisis. As it operates under a separate legal authority from IEEPA,
today's Supreme Court ruling does not affect it.

Everyone is watching one city. That’s the trick:

If you’re only watching the loud version of the ICE crackdown…you’re missing the real story.

Because the crackdown isn’t loud anymore.

That’s not a failure. That’s the upgrade.

While cameras fixate on one high-profile city…press conferences…protests… predictable outrage…ICE has been quietly shifting how it operates elsewhere.

Faster pickups. Fewer uniforms. Less paperwork. More discretion. More fear.

This is what enforcement looks like when it matures.
Not raids that spark headlines. But ambient pressure…that changes behavior…without announcing itself.

Courthouse arrests. Check-in detentions. Traffic stops that aren’t really about traffic.

No spectacle. No warning. Just enough uncertainty…that entire communities start self-policing.

That’s not accidental. It’s design.

Here’s the part most coverage misses: when enforcement becomes quiet… it also becomes harder to resist.

There’s nothing obvious to protest. No single villain. No viral video…that captures the moment the line was crossed.

Just a constant background hum of risk.

People stop going to court. They stop reporting crimes. They stop driving their kids to school.

Fear does the work…the state…no longer has to do.
And notice the timing.

Courts have blocked the blunt instruments: mass defunding of cities sweeping policy ultimatums.

So the pressure migrates. It always does. When one lever breaks…power doesn’t retreat. It reroutes.

This…is that reroute.

If you’re wondering why this feels different than 2017…that’s why. Back then…enforcement was theatrical. It needed to announce itself.

Now…it’s procedural. It hides inside routine. That’s more dangerous.

Because procedural power feels “normal.” And normal is harder to fight than shocking.

The public conversation is stuck arguing about whether this is a “crackdown” or “just the law.” Meanwhile, the actual effect is psychological: a broad chilling of daily life that never requires a single new statute.

This is how systems consolidate control without declaring it.

Quietly. Incrementally. With plausible deniability baked in.

If you care about civil liberties, this is the moment that matters more than any press-friendly standoff. Not when the state shouts—but when it whispers.

Because whispers travel farther.

Here’s what I want you to notice: when enforcement gets quieter, documentation becomes more important.

When discretion expands, so does the need for witnesses, records, and local counter-infrastructure. That’s where power still has friction.

I often see posts from people wondering where McDonald's gets all its beef and speculating it is not beef. Here are some numbers. BTW, I am not a fan of McD burgers and I can't remember the last time I ate there. Also, my wife is a food safety scientist and worked with them to develop an ecoli test. She assures me their patties are 100% beef.

An average beef cow yields about 225 pounds of ground beef from portions typically used for hamburger. Because McDonald’s hamburgers are 100% beef that’s about 900 quarter-pound (4 ounce) patties per animal.

It is estimated that McDonald’s sells more than 6 million 4 ounce hamburgers a day (Big Macs, the most popular burger, are 3.2 ounces, but we’ll stick with 4 ounces as an average for this exercise), that 6,667 cattle per day or 2,433,333 animals per year. In an average year, 34 million cattle are slaughtered in the US so McDonald’s uses only about 7%. In addition the US imports about 4.5 billion pounds of beef a year. That’s billion not million. Brazil, Canada, and Mexico are major suppliers.

People complain that they never see herds of cattle large enough to supply McDonald’s. Most cattle feedlots in the US, called Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs), hold thousands of head and are usually connected to slaughterhouses where the carcasses are butchered and the meat cuts are packaged for shipping to stores and restaurants. Most are in Texas, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, and Colorado. These states hold about 60% of the nation's cattle. They are not usually visible from major highways or cities, and because they need lots of land and they smell, they are usually isolated. But they are out there.
