If there’s only one thing I want you to remember as someone who actually grew up in Iran, it’s this:

A bully only backs down when he faces a bigger bully.

Trump’s approach is messy, unconventional, and disruptive, but that’s exactly why it has a real chance of working. Because the regime itself is messy, unconventional, and disruptive.

This is not a normal government. It doesn’t play by any rules, and it doesn’t care about looking good or ethical.

Anyone who tries to act diplomatic or “proper” with them has already lost. For the mullahs, diplomacy has always just been a fancy word for lying, deceiving, and hiding their true intentions.

Now they’ve run into someone their old tricks don’t work on. Someone who flips the table whenever he feels like it, who doesn’t care about diplomatic etiquette, and who is completely unpredictable to them.

They can’t outsmart him like they used to. Messing with the lion’s tail this time could cost them dearly, because unlike Obama, Trump actually has his finger on the trigger, and unlike @netanyahu , nothing is holding him back.

Another reason his style seems so chaotic is that the global system and other powers have long benefited from keeping the status quo, a corrupt system that quietly protected the regime. Trump is breaking that old order apart.

For Trump, this whole negotiation and deal-making process is basically a soft war. It’s a deliberate strategy to gradually disarm and weaken the regime piece by piece, at minimum cost.

Even if a deal is reached, he won’t stop, He’ll continue until the regime is so eroded and weak that the Iranian people finally have a fair chance to confront and defeat it themselves.

It won’t happen overnight, but if you look at the direction things are going, the trend is clear.

President Trump knows exactly what he’s doing. He’s not performing for us. He’s taking massive risks with his political capital.

It’s a big gamble, yes, but it doesn’t mean it won’t work. And if one person can actually pull Iran out of this cancer, it’s him. No one else. Trust the man, trust the process.

The water math on AI is the most misunderstood statistic in tech, so let's actually run it.

A ChatGPT query uses about 0.3 mL of water for cooling, per OpenAI's own disclosure. The harshest academic estimate, which also counts the water consumed by the power plants feeding the servers, lands at 10 to 25 mL. Call it half a tablespoon at the absolute worst case.

Now the comparisons. One hamburger takes roughly 2,500 liters of water to produce. That single burger equals somewhere between 100,000 and 8 million ChatGPT queries depending on whose estimate you trust. A pair of jeans cost 7,500 liters before it reached your closet. One toilet flush is 6 liters, or about 20,000 queries. US golf courses pour out around 1.5 billion gallons every day, dwarfing the direct cooling water of every data center in the country.

So why does the robot demanding a thousand glasses of water feel true? Because the totals sound enormous and nobody does the division. "Data centers consumed billions of gallons" is accurate and terrifying right up until you divide billions of gallons by trillions of queries and get a number smaller than the drop left in your glass when you think it's empty.

The legitimate water story is local. A big facility sited in a drought-stressed basin can strain that specific community, which is why Chile blocked one. That's a siting problem, solvable with policy and closed-loop cooling.

The cartoon will outlive the correction anyway. Per-unit math never beats a thirsty robot at the foot of the bed.

Folks trying to mitigate Platner's Nazi tattoo because he was too stupid or drunk to know what it was, but left it on his body for 20 years without being concerned about it (until he was caught while running for office) think that this is remotely plausible or excusable.

Want to know if your AirBnB has cameras watching you? Here’s how you do it:

- Buy a small travel WiFi router. I recommend them anyway when traveling

- Find where the existing WiFi router is and plug yours into the modem and unplug theirs

- change your WiFi routers settings (SSID and password) to exactly match that of the home’s

- see what devices connect and if any of them are cameras

My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us!
I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around.

I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it.

Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought.

We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!!

Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ??

Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity."

Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in.

When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided.

My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress.

Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country.

People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism.

Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism.

We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague."

Seriously, the reflecting pool rehab wouldn’t have been a story at all except for the Dems insane opposition and lies about it.

ActBlue accepted foreign money and donations under fake names.

They knew about it and failed to stop it.

And when we asked them about it, they all took the 5th.
