I find the concept of “overcapacity” ridiculous. Does Germany have an overcapacity in cars? France one in wine? Sweden in heavy trucks? Italy in fashion? And don’t tell me that European food exports aren’t subsidized. https://t.co/Bl2yiF8hdg

You can watch about 50 metres of the race for free on the local traffic camera. Bernie Ecclestone would have found a way to charge for this.

BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market.

In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold.

These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time.

The trader seemingly made huge gains.

Unusual.

U.S. missiles that hit Iran likely were fired from Gulf countries that have taken the brunt of Iranian drone and missile attacks—although none acknowledges allowing use of their land or airspace https://t.co/HEEF8hOZZo

Macron making himself an appendage of illegal US foreign policy by mobilising an aircraft carrier that is literally named after *Charles de Gaulle* is an extraordinary farce. De Gaulle would despise this man’s cowardice and vassalage. Pathetic.

Meanwhile in China, the viral White House prayer scene has turned into a full-blown social media trend. Bosses at small businesses and factories are rounding up their employees to make fun of the stunt—forming a circle, placing hands on shoulders or heads, and praying in a humorous way for “better sales, higher incomes for every worker and the whole company.”

Videos of these “prayer circles” are blowing up on Douyin and Weibo. Not sure how much divine favor the White House actually summoned, but these Chinese bosses? They straight-up turned the Oval Office prayer stunt into free global marketing gold🤣

The trouble with Hegseth is that he thinks he's George C. Scott in Patton, but in reality comes across like George C. Scott in Dr. Strangelove.

If you wonder why NYers say we can’t live anywhere else: it’s bc ppl from everywhere else are stupid. Here’s the Katz’s line today, almost all tourists, and instead of turning the corner like decent people they just blocked the crosswalk and continued down the next block
