Wake up bae

H5N1 bird flu just rolled out another surprise.

A highly divergent B3.13 virus has been detected in Idaho cattle.

It’s carrying a new receptor-binding domain mutation.

[Raina MacIntyre @Globalbiosec]

Rates of infection with other pathogens after a +ve #COVID test versus a neg test - more brilliant work from @zalaly and team. COVID causes immune dysregulation and ⬆️risk of other infections. https://t.co/yIZ9LvD2NF

This is so good lmfao

@discourse Was genuinely interested in this for a colleague's usage upon updating from a Discourse Community account to a Pro account in the coming months, but then I saw it's only available on $500 Business accounts. 🫤

Of which year?

[zerohedge @zerohedge]

Hormuz closed until July at least

[The Walrus @thewalrus]

Scientists warn H5N1’s biggest threat is reassortment: flu strains mixing in animals or humans to create a novel virus. Outbreaks in poultry, dairy cattle, and wildlife, combined with weak surveillance and vaccine politics, could increase pandemic risk. https://t.co/PJRCOsddcf

@Yaboi_Gengarboi @Noahpinion "Settlers" and/or "pioneers" is what they were called back in the day. Now they're called "expats".

One has to be extremely gullible to think oil will be anywhere near $70 in six years time. Regardless of where this SoH crisis goes (read: it could get much, much worse), the depletion incurred by 2032 will see to it that $70 oil is a thing of the past.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

"If you want $3 gas, you're going to have to wait 6 years. We will not get back down to that sub-$70 oil level until 2032"

[Allan Strømfeldt Christensen 🇨🇦 @stromfeldt]

Looks like someone isn't aware of the crisis emanating out of the Strait of Hormuz closure.

This coming "age of abundance" is gonna be real interesting in light of the rippling famine & the knock-on effects of sulfur & helium shortages.

Can we build tech with vibes?

[Garry Tan @garrytan]

Ultimately the golden age of abundance will be this kind of tech built and deployed 1000x

TLDR: Diary of a CEO has 15M+ subscribers and credible-looking guests, but structurally it's a closed loop: undisclosed investors, sponsors, and Thiel/Angermayer-funded portfolio companies — with pro-Russia geopolitics and pseudoscience smuggled in.

“Our big problem is the input costs.”

Inputs are the modus operandi of monoculture-based industrial ag. The farmer/community produce virtually nothing on their own, dependent on outside sources for seeds, fertiliser, pesticides, equipment, etc.

The system was destined to fail.

[Farm Action @FarmActionUS]

“It’s costing us about $1,500 of cash per day to run 2 tractors.”

Ohio farmer says skyrocketing input costs are hammering American farmers.

“I spent many years buying potash for $90 a ton, and now it’s $670 to $700 a ton.”

“Our big problem is the input costs.”

“I haven’t seen anything this bad since the 1980s.”

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Iran directly rejects Trump's claim that Hormuz "will be opened" as part of a "largely negotiated" agreement he just posted on Truth Social, saying Trump's claim is "far from the truth" and that Hormuz "will remain under Iranian management" with Iran retaining exclusive permanent authority over route, timing, method, and permits, per Fars.

Iran also confirms the nuclear file has not been discussed and that American officials themselves have told Iran in multiple messages that "Trump's tweets are primarily for domestic American propaganda and media consumption" and "should be disregarded." The "largely negotiated" deal claim therefore has no basis.

[Hamidreza Azizi @HamidRezaAz]

Find a life partner who trusts your words as much as oil markets trust Trump’s words on #Iran

Whatever will Americans do without their soma?

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

After this Thursday’s show, the Ed Sullivan Theater will go dark, and we’ll lose one of the nation’s funniest and most courageous, truthful, and gentlemanly critics of Trump and his regime.

Farewell, and thank you, Stephen. https://t.co/0syXYZoCnD

So our post-war globally interconnected world was underwritten by the US acting to coordinate things like open sea lanes, monetary systems and also disease control.

Problem is, is we still have wide open air travel, but none of the disease control.

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

Hantavirus = 3 deaths, all Westerners

Media goes nuts

Ebola : 85 deaths and rising RAPIDLY, all people in Central Africa

Media : Meh

[Eric Nuttall @ericnuttall]

Goldman saying the oil market has been in a net deficit of 7-8MM Bbl/d since March 1st. JP Morgan said we can only lose 800MM Bbls before the global refining system gets pushed into operational stress levels. As of April 23rd 520MM Bbls were left. That puts "D-Day" ~ July 1st.

"CDC confirms cat-to-human transmission of avian influenza".

It was an isolated case, and would have occurred more than a year ago, but the reality of transmission has nonetheless been established.
https://t.co/02BidvlwE6

[Allan Strømfeldt Christensen 🇨🇦 @stromfeldt]

Agreed. My concern is still with H5N1 avian influenza.

[Michael Olesen 💉😷🇺🇸🇺🇦 @maolesen]

My hantavirus take: Worth watching, but not worrying until there is sustained human to human transmission.

So much for claims that I'm a fear monger.
