In the Middle Ages, the Catholic Church dictated how couples were supposed to have sex. Any sex position other than the common man-on-top (missionary) was considered unnatural and sinful.

The woman-on-top position was unacceptable because it negated the natural order of the male-female role.

Anal and oral sex were sins because they could only be practised for pleasure, not procreation, which for the Church was the only purpose of sex. #HistoryVille

SpaceX strikes $60bn deal to acquire AI start-up Cursor https://t.co/ub88lQ857Y

[Financial Things @bzequity100]

Selling gold reserves is a clear signal of financial stress.

It mirrors dipping into your savings because cash flow is tightening and expenses still need to be covered.

As the Iran oil crisis drags on, the pressure deepens with fewer options left to stabilize things.

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

🇺🇸 Elon just locked in a deal to buy Cursor for $60 billion.

SpaceX has the option to acquire Anysphere, Cursor's parent company, before the end of the year.

If they walk away, SpaceX still pays $10 billion "for their work together," basically one of the largest termination fees in history. Which tells you they have no intention of backing out.

Cursor does $2 billion in annualized revenue and its users are mostly elite software engineers, exactly the kind of customer base Elon wants heading into SpaceX's summer IPO.

The combined group is expected to hit $1.75 trillion at listing, the largest flotation ever.

@elonmusk now has space, satellites, AI, social media, and the world's most popular coding tool under one roof.

What he's cooking up will be wild.

When you feel overwhelmed with a specific thing.

Set a small goal.
When you’re complete, stop.

You will naturally continue the task because reward chemicals are released in your brain upon completing a small goal.

@TheEconomist I'm just curious, why it took so long? Was this not possible this whole time ?

Iran did not attack Fujairah by accident. It attacked Fujairah because Fujairah is the answer to Iran.

To understand why this strike is the most strategically precise action Iran has taken in this entire war, you need to understand what Fujairah is and why it exists. The Strait of Hormuz is the chokepoint that gives Iran its most powerful economic leverage over the world: twenty million barrels of oil per day transit through a corridor that Iranian mines, missiles, and fast-attack boats can threaten to close. The global economy’s response to forty years of that leverage was to build Fujairah. The UAE constructed the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone on the eastern Gulf of Oman coast so that oil could flow from Abu Dhabi’s fields through a 380-kilometer pipeline to Fujairah’s terminals and onto tankers without ever transiting Hormuz. Fujairah is the world’s third-largest bunkering port. It hosts terminal operators including Vopak, VTTI, MENA, and GPS. It holds tens of millions of barrels of refined products and crude storage capacity. It is the physical infrastructure the global maritime economy built to make Hormuz less relevant. Iran just told the world that Fujairah is also within range.

The attack occurred on March 3. An Iranian drone crossed into UAE airspace. Air defense intercepted it. Debris landed in the Fujairah Oil Industry Zone and ignited a fire in storage tank infrastructure. The UAE confirmed the fire was contained, no casualties, operations resuming. Argus Media reported direct hits on storage tanks and thick smoke over one terminal. Satellite imagery released March 6 confirms visible fire and impact at the storage zone.

The official narrative: a near miss. Debris from an intercepted drone. Contained fire. Resuming operations.

The strategic narrative: Iran demonstrated that it can reach Fujairah.

Those two statements can both be true simultaneously and the second one is the one that matters for the global energy market. The entire investment thesis of Fujairah as a Hormuz bypass depends on Fujairah being physically safe. An intercepted drone whose debris sets storage tanks on fire is not physically safe in any insurance underwriter’s actuarial framework. The verification cost inversion mechanism, demonstrated five times in this war across maritime insurance, oil refinery insurance, corporate presence, financial architecture, and digital infrastructure, has now been applied to the bypass route itself.

Iran’s targeting logic is architecturally coherent. Ras Tanura and Ras Laffan disrupted primary Gulf production. Ahmadi disrupted the Kuwait-Saudi pipeline corridor. Fujairah completes the circuit: the one infrastructure node the world built specifically to avoid Iranian leverage. There is no safe corridor for the global energy system that is outside Iranian reach. That is the message. It has now been sent to three simultaneous coordinates.

The jet fuel at $225.44 per barrel already includes a Hormuz closure premium. It now also includes a Fujairah vulnerability premium. These are not the same premium. They stack. Global shipping operators who rerouted through Fujairah to avoid Hormuz now face the same question: does rerouting solve the problem when Iran can reach the bypass route itself?

The Fujairah strike is Iran’s answer to the world’s answer to Iran. It did not need to destroy the facilities to accomplish its objective. It needed to prove it could reach them. Satellite imagery published March 6 provides that proof at global scale.

The bypass route that took decades and billions of dollars to build was neutered as a strategic hedge in the time it takes a drone to fly from an Iranian launch point to the Gulf of Oman coast.
