We're building a Moon Base!
@NASAMoonBase will serve as a habitat where astronauts live and work during long-term science missions.
Join us at 2pm ET on Tuesday, May 26, for a live news event where we’ll share updates on our lunar exploration plans: https://t.co/IJXA7xYwju
🚨BREAKING: ANTHROPIC IS GIVING AWAY THE SAME CERTIFICATION THAT DELOITTE IS MASS-TRAINING 15,000 EMPLOYEES TO GET.
It costs $0. You need a laptop. That's it.
It's called the "Claude Certified Architect."
Think of it like the AWS cert but for AI.
If you were around when AWS certs started, you know what happened. They went from "cool to have" to "you're not getting hired without one." That took about 5 years.
This is going to happen way faster.
Look at who's already moving:
Accenture - training 30,000 people on Claude
Cognizant - rolled it out to 350,000 employees
Deloitte - opened Claude access to 470,000 people
Infosys - anchor partner
These aren't startups experimenting. These are billion dollar consulting firms restructuring their entire workforce around Claude.
And the certification they need? You can take it right now from your bedroom.
Let me be real though. This is not one of those "watch 2 videos and get a badge" type certs that nobody respects.
This thing is hard.
60 questions. 2 hours. Proctored. Webcam on. No breaks. No googling.
They drop you into real scenarios like designing a customer support agent that handles refunds or setting up Claude in a CI/CD pipeline. The wrong answers look right on purpose. They're the exact mistakes real engineers make in production.
720 out of 1000 to pass.
People who took it are saying the agentic architecture and multi-agent orchestration sections are brutal.
Most of the exam is about building AI systems that actually work in the real world. Not prompting. Not chatting with Claude. Architecting production systems.
All the prep? Free. Anthropic put out 13 courses on their Academy. No paywall. The cert itself is free for the first 5,000 people. After that $99 per attempt.
How to get it:
1. Join the Claude Partner Network (free) → https://t.co/TWMshPoKDn
2. Start the free prep courses → https://t.co/9OVwtjbvh0
3. Register for the exam → https://t.co/WWFAhSZUVd
4. Take the official practice exam
5. Book the real one when you're ready
It launched 10 days ago. Almost nobody has it yet.
That's the whole point. Get it before it becomes the thing everyone has.
🚨Trump Is Rewiring OPEC From the Inside
💰Exxon & Chevron Are the Main Beneficiaries
Trump is reshaping who controls the next decade of oil supply
Not by pumping more US shale
By reopening #OPEC-linked barrels to US majors.
Here’s the play:
• 🇻🇪 #Venezuela
After Maduro’s removal, Washington is steering exports and pushing $50–100bn of potential reinvestment.
• 🇮🇷 #Iran pressure
Tariffs and military signaling are forcing buyers to rotate away from Tehran.
• 🇷🇺#Russia
Sanctions
At the same time, the White House is backing ExxonMobil and Chevron in negotiations across:
• 🇮🇶 Iraq
• 🇱🇾 Libya
• 🇩🇿 Algeria
• 🇰🇿 Kazakhstan
• 🇦🇿 Azerbaijan
The offer is simple: capital + security + diplomatic cover in exchange for alignment with Washington.
If even a fraction of the $100bn in Venezuela and new deals across Iraq and Africa materialise, more OPEC-linked supply will sit under US contracts and US security umbrellas.
That shifts:
• who controls marginal barrels
• who influences spare capacity
• and ultimately who shapes price formation
For Exxon and #Chevron shareholders, this is a geopolitical growth option layered on top of disciplined capital returns.

🇹🇹 🇻🇪 Shell Targets Venezuela’s Dragon Gas for Trinidad LNG
Shell plans to bring Venezuela’s Dragon gas field online within 3 years and route gas to Trinidad & Tobago for LNG exports, CEO Wael Sawan said.
Trinidad’s Atlantic LNG has been constrained by gas shortages
Dragon gas could restore LNG and petrochemical throughput
Project hinges on US licences, sanctions, and cross-border approvals
Signals Shell’s selective return to high-impact upstream gas
This isn’t just new supply. It’s energy optionality for Trinidad and a geopolitical test case for sanctioned gas.
If approvals come through, does Trinidad reclaim its role as a Caribbean LNG hub?

🌍 Africa Is Where the Big Oil Bets Are in 2026
🔹 Most of the activity is ultra-deepwater (1,500m+)
🔹 Far fewer onshore or shallow projects
🔹 Capital is chasing scale, geology, and upside, not convenience
When companies want material growth, they still drill deep. And right now, they drill deep in Africa.
The opportunity?
One company with the World's largest fleet, huge backlog (2+ years locked) and trading 6x below asset value.

@MrPitbull07@MrPitbull07 take your daughter on a trip Kampala, Uganda. You will surely find a gas station where that is done. One thing gor sure is that your gas will be filled by a gas station attendant.
