@nikitabier I think you'll sing a different tune after your boss finds out how many X users have quit this app for good.

[Mike @MJM83149]

It's clear now that X's priorities are messed up and the people in charge are making bad decisions. There are other options for news and current events. Maybe I'll return here someday if X cleans up its act.

[VraserX e/acc @VraserX]

Elon, Nikita is destroying X. He’s gutting reposts, quote posts, and discovery, the core mechanics that made this platform powerful. X is turning into a worse YouTube clone while even Threads is gaining ground. He needs to go.

In a serious country, an effort would already be underway to use the tools provided in the US Constitution to remove Trump from office.

So, a couple of the boys have been texting me: “Why the hell would Trump drop the Hormuz blockade bomb on a Sunday? It’ll send oil screaming past $120, maybe $130 if the algos really panic. Makes zero sense if you actually want cheaper barrels.”

But it makes perfect sense. Beautiful, even.

See, Tokyo and Hong Kong are already humming by the time the East Coast is still nursing its coffee. Those futures pits—Dow, S&P, the whole equity complex, plus Brent and WTI on the screens—never really sleep. You’ve got fourteen, fifteen hours of runway before the New York bell. Plenty of time for the right hands to lean in: long the indices in Hong Kong, short the crude in Tokyo, riding the fear wave as the blockade tweet lights up every terminal from Singapore to Sydney.

Then, right on cue, before the U.S. opens, comes the pivot. Something about “there’s regime change in Tehran,” “we can do business,” “Talks were Good,” the usual art-of-the-deal baloney. Markets whip around like they’ve been Tasered. Oil gives back the spike, stocks rip higher. The boys in Asia unwind clean, pocket the spread.

A few hundred million, maybe more, conjured out of thin air on the back of one perfectly timed Sunday morning post. Not bad for a morning’s work. The Street’s been running these kinds of games for decades: information, timing, leverage. Just never quite so… presidential!!

BREAKING: I think I figured out the algorithm.

You must be original, but not artificial. Active, but not too active. Engaging, but not excessive. Interact, but don't reply too much. Use emojis, but only sparingly.
Don't give a one-word response. Don't make your response too long. A brief response isn't ideal either.

Spark conversations, but don't post too many comments. Don't post at weird times. Don't post rapidly. Post videos, but don't post videos. Share posts, but only certain ones. Ask questions. Don't keep asking things. Don't interact with low-quality accounts. Don't ignore small accounts. Only interact with blue-checked accounts. Don't comment on too many (premium) blue-checked accounts.

It's really that simple.

The President of the United States and the Secretary of State are attending a UFC event tonight as negotiations with Iran collapse in Islamabad—raising the risk of a massive war restarting.

@lifeofajaybird @KatiePavlich My point is the "winner" of a war dictates the terms of surrender and the post-war political order. These terms are not negotiable.

[Mike @MJM83149]

What a waste of time and taxpayer dollars. If we had really "won" the war like Trump said we'd be dictating terms.

[Katie Pavlich @KatiePavlich]

BREAKING: VP Vance announces
Iran has failed to meet expectations after 21 hours of negotiations in Pakistan, especially regarding their nuclear program. The U.S. delegation will leave with no deal.

“We just could not get to a situation where the Iranians would accept
our terms…unfortunately we were unable to make any headway.”

Iran didn’t negotiate in good faith. Vance says a final and best offer has been made and it’s up to the Iranian regime to accept, or not.

Right now, Trump's lasting policy legacy will be the #CovidVaccine & the #IranWar‌

This is what it looks like when you care more about propaganda, than actual results.

[Mike @MJM83149]

Lawmakers at all levels of government take perverse pleasure these days at doing the exact opposite of what the majority of their constituents want. The system is broken.

@CatholicCharm Tell ya what. My monthly eating out budget is now $0. You can keep those wildly expensive smaller portions and lackluster service.

Got a note from one of my sons:

“Only in Montana can you leave your keys dangling all day from the roofbox keyhole with your car parked in the aisle so everyone can see and not have your car stolen.”

Montana is still a high-trust society.

The Last Best Place.

@allenanalysis This is so far from what really needs to happen. No one in DC has the stones to organize to remove Trump. We're stuck with him for the duration.

[Daniel Horowitz @RMConservative]

I've never seen anything as pointless as this attempted and then aborted Iran operation - from any ideological perspective. It makes zero sense and incurred all the liabilities with zero benefits. Will discuss more today. But the key point is that it's emblematic of EVERY issue this man touches. We are so broken with so many false choices and a lack of leadership.
