@vfsglobalcare I’ve been trying to book a visa appointment on your website, but it shows error messages saying the web page is not responding. This has been happening repeatedly and I’m unable to secure an appointment. Please look into this issue urgently and provide a solution.

@JeffFlake@USEmbassyTurkey as a proud American citizen, I would like to see a public statement regarding the new bill to kill all stray animals in Turkey. Please do the right thing 🇺🇸
Selling down the SPR so low has been an incredible blunder and a massive threat to the nation’s energy security.
At least there’s no chance of a real emergency happening soon like say… a global energy crisis or a war. 😐🙄
The war in Israel this morning is a stark reminder how misguided it was to deplete our strategic oil reserves, and to grow our debt so quickly.
Iran is behind Hamas.
Our enemies are emboldened by bonds selling off 50% and by other US weakness / vulnerability to high oil prices.
Understanding the Hamas attack on Israel:
Iran is aiming for a confrontation with Israel and the US. The success of Russia in Ukraine is encouraging Iran to undo decades of hostile US foreign policy in the Middle East. A bankrupt US Govt has just been invited to another war.
The timing is opportunistic. The US Govt is forced to print trillions of USD as it struggles to raise new debt. Another war would lead to a significant increase in inflation and an accelerated economic decline of the US.
If Iran mines the Strait of Hormuz the global energy crisis would become critical. The Biden administration has used the majority of US oil reserves to stabilize domestic oil prices. Iran can increase the pain for the US Govt significantly.
Ukraine is turning into a major defeat for the US and NATO. A new front in the Middle East would accelerate the US decline. The US Govt and its western partners simply cannot afford it. Russia and China would benefit most. Iran understands this and is playing into the hands of its partners.
WTF is really happening at seed?
This discussion with @lessin@jasonlk@fintechjunkie has more value than a Sequoia China portfolio!

Persian Gulf International Airport in Iran reported a heat index of 152°F (66.7°C) today at 12:30 pm.
Those are intolerable conditions for human/animal life.
Still wondering why Putin compared the mutiny to 1917. Such an odd analogy that casts him as Nicholas II, Prigozhin as Lenin, and Russian armed forces quitting the war in the West.

Introducing: @sequoia's latest market map!
AI is rewriting what software can do. AI is also rewriting how software is made.
Maybe Copilot is just the start. What else can AI do for developers? What about devops engineers?
OpenAI has just casually dropped an app store. The pace of new releases is just another level! It can now:
browse the web, write and run Python, access org info, add third party plugins from OpenTable, Wolfram, Instacart, Zapier, etc... #chatgpt#OpenAI
