Sunday morning #headlines recap

Iran's 14-point counter-proposal sets 1-month deadline for Hormuz deal. Iran's 14-point proposal is maximalist — demands US withdrawal, asset unfreezing, compensation, Hormuz mechanism, end to Lebanon war. It would seem they’re dealing from a position of strength…

China invokes blocking statute for first time ever, ordering all firms to ignore US sanctions on five Chinese refineries purchasing Iranian oil. Multinationals now face legal conflict: complying with US sanctions violates Chinese law.

Kuwait exported zero crude oil in April — first time since the Gulf War I invasion in 1991. Infrastructure intact; the Strait is the problem. Kuwait has no pipeline alternative.

~40 IRGC speedboats spotted near Qeshm Island, possibly laying mines. Iran is openly preparing for war resumption; senior generals state conflict is "inevitable".

Researcher claims that evidence shows child abductions increase in the two weeks leading up to Passover, regardless of where it actually falls on the calendar. Unsurprising if true.

In a marginally related story, Sam Altman’s sister has updated her federal lawsuit against him, accusing him of raping and grooming her when she was just three years old. The abuse lasted for nearly 10 years.

95% Of Chinese Steel is allegedly poisonous. The article tells of Chinese people testing their cookware and finding the results, although it is reasonable to assume some of it makes it into the US as well.

Randy Fine has a simultaneous meltdown over Israel losing control of both political parties and muh anti-semitisms. If he’s unhappy I’m feeling fine.

If at all possible take some time to hang out with your friends today…

A view of Ship 40's nosecone at the Massey's test site apparatus. 🌔 🚀

if America lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers, our military would collapse and there'd be riots in the streets
There was a MAGA pundit on Gab who lived in The Villages. His most noteworthy attribute was his bad plastic surgery.
I recall he did a poll on who people would rather have as president, Trump or Hitler. The results broke him and he deleted his Gab account not long after.
I hope Bill Mitchell's eyebrows are still charcoal while his hair is still a majestic ice silver like a true delusional "silver fox" boomer asshole.*

*It should be noted that Mitchell visciously turn on Trump in the lead up to 2024 only to bootlick once he was the clear cut nom again. Also, he raised money from his "fans" to move to DC to "cover politics" in 2016-17 only to take the money and move to The Villages.

Yeah, he was hammered. I believe Pool's account that Jones showed up drunk all the time. It matches what I've observed. Explains those clips P has of him raving like a madman. He's not, 'playing a character', he's just an angry drunk.

The other problem is the more money she makes in her career the more money she'll want her husband to earn, so the pool shrinks with her 'success.'

"The 'top brain interface scientist' who defected to China... a jew, of course."

Charles Lieber should watch out, if he tried the same kikery on the CCP, the same way he did to the USG, the Chinese will be a lot more unforgiving.
One of the best reasons to learn Spanish is to enjoy the glory that is Central/South American racism in its native habitat

Asians still hold first place in hating on each other though
@TrevorGoodchild I see a lot of gems often I can't share here because they lose the charm when translated. :megumin_pensive:

Thanks to the translator, X has seen a lot of hilarious Asian posts. Mostly Japanese, some Korean, Thai and Chinese too. So, turns out nobody likes niggers and jeets, huh. :0380:
