Covering geoeconomics @ForeignPolicy. Energy, geopolitics, economics, trade, seapower, politics. Usual caveats, etc.

@sidhubaba is this literally a challenge?

[Keith Johnson @KFJ_FP]

Oh, that explains a LOT. @SecScottBessent said in testimony that he doesn't consider @PIIE a credible source "anymore." God knows what he is reading, and God help us.

This is not what a futures curve means.

@MichaelEWebber Few things more awkward than coming back briefly to Tiplandia and being unaware of the mores. I hope $2 is enough, as it is in every other OECD country. Why the long face?

@Frances_Coppola @speakoutsister @22_Gilly One time, I landed after an insane inter-continental flight. I had to pee like a bandit. I ducked into the first one I saw, and I confess, I was confused by the lack of urinals and all sorts of seat covers and stuff. But duty called. On my way out, all the ladies were polite.

[Keith Johnson @KFJ_FP]

yes.

@JillFilipovic This whole thing sends me. Grad-school recipe that slays: Linguine a la Keith. Linguine ($1.50). Can diced tomatoes ($1). Olives. ($2). I called them scallions but they are Welsh onions. (?) Three slices of prosciutto. ($5). Feeds four.

@MerriamWebster now make it plural

@MerriamWebster @lachancenaomi27 power through. Do you have any idea how many red underscores and red flags I deal with in every piece? Not today, chief.

Studies say that Mitochondrial DNA, which is inherited from your mother, determines how efficiently the body transforms energy into speed, power and stamina. IJS 🤷🏽‍♀️

@BayouBikeyBoi I know a place that has a lot of lizards. Iguanas. Skinks. Monitors. Just crazy shit. World's best reptile zoo. Best-kept secret. (No affiliation.)

@zabaladelaserna Since we're speaking in English, apparently, what even is that? A talaferra? Un farol? Una Lopecina al reves con frenesi?

[Keith Johnson @KFJ_FP]

@frank_hodgkins @tonyannett Oh you are a freak alright. Defend that Reagan vote now. Most humans alive were not eligible to vote back in the Stone Ages. How did that work out for you? Did it trickle down? Does it ever? You commies make me sick.

[Keith Johnson @KFJ_FP]

@frank_hodgkins @tonyannett Only a weirdo left-wing Maine-loving, lobster-hocking freak could say anything bad about a country that has Trump (praise be to Allah) and Hegseth in charge. Me and my Cybertruck say good riddance.

[Keith Johnson @KFJ_FP]

Happy Friday. Thanks @ghoshworld

@sidhubaba Again can do amazing things. Almost any story, especially if true, gets better with again. 'When they pulled the spearfishing barb out of my head, and the elder doctor said, 'again?' I knew I was in for a lashing.'

[Keith Johnson @KFJ_FP]

I literally ran out of space. Sometimes, they are ferrety.

[National Park Service @NatlParkService]

Don’t go chasing waterfalls...cautiously approach and be careful of slippery conditions. In fact, you may just want to stick to the rivers and lakes that you’re used to.

[Keith Johnson @KFJ_FP]

A message from the Non National Park Service: While we respect the admonition to 'stop chasing waterfalls,' it is important to remember that cascades are not ambulatory. We have no documented instances, walking, running, or in conveyance otherwise contrived, of them fleeing.
