So let me see if I can explain my skepticism here, in a way that refrains from commenting (much) on the political factors at play here, and sticks to the physics. This will be a bit of a long thread. 1/

@RogierBrussee @BM_Visser Gasterra, die de opslagen nu nog beheert, stopt ermee en moet volgens afspraak de opslagen leeg opleveren aan de NAM per 1 april.

Russland greift die 🇺🇦Kultur an. In dem Gebäudekomplex befindet sich das Lemberger Historische Archiv. Ich habe dort jahrelang geforscht, ironischerweise mit einer Doktorarbeit über die russophile Bewegung in der Westukraine, die auch ins Ukrainische übersetzt wurde.➡️

7/ Europe’s Hydrocarbon Dysmorphia Today the continent consumes roughly 38 EJ against only 6 EJ produced domestically, with Russian supply now largely severed and Russian LNG under a 2027 phase-out deadline. This represents an extraordinary inversion of insecure hydrocarbon

Steve Bannon: “We can use this, ICE helping at airports, as a test run, a test case, to really perfect ICE’s involvement in the 2026 midterms. Mike Davis: “I think we should have ICE agents at the polling places” Saying the quiet part out loud.

Erger nog dan de kernuitstap is dat men zelfs geen poging gedaan heeft tot mothballing Belgische kernreactoren. Nu terug een energiecrisis opduikt, blijkt heropstart van stilgelegde reactoren praktisch onmogelijk met enkel nog waterkans voor T1. Japan herstartte 15/ 33 reactoren.

Someone loaded $655k worth of 1dte puts that were 2% OTM not 15 minutes before the headlines that dumped the rally broke on the wires. You can't make up this unbelievable level of insider trading.

russian terrorists have destroyed a dam on the Siverskyi Donets near Raihorodok. Not a military target. Not an accident. Deliberate terror. This threatens flooding, cuts water supply in eastern Ukraine, and puts civilians at risk. How much longer will this be ignored?

This is rather a beautiful example of modern math with very precise and profound statements (not to mention the great use Litt made of it for proving that certain Taylor expansions have rational coefficients) that look like total gibberish to those outside (and many inside) math.

This is the map of regions that mostly suffered from Holodomor starvation by Stalin in 1932-33. As you can see, Moscow always first kills the population of Eastern/Southern Ukraine, then settles muscovites there and then comes to defend them...

Not to downplay the attack on Iran but one may hope it becomes yet another sad page in the bloody history of the middle east. Europe deciding to become an independent nuclear power, however, sounds like the definitive rupture in the US - Europe relation.

Just a matter of time before one of our more putinized Trumpers calls this a "special military operation"

Every few years, machine learning “discovers” a new optimizer. Natural gradient. Second-order methods. Adaptive curvature scaling. And every time, it’s presented as if optimization began in 2012. But the update is not a deep learning invention. It is classical statistical

As with so many other WH geopolitical moves, this offers the US nothing, so it must offer Donald Trump quite a lot. It’s also exactly what Russia wants, a complete coincidence I’m sure.

for the first time since 1972, there are zero legally binding limits on us and russian nuclear arsenals. 10,000+ warheads between them. no inspections. no verification. no successor treaty in sight. and it barely made the news cycle for 48 hours.

Woah! Jack Smith just said that Trump intimidated witnesses via death threats! “I had grave concerns about obstruction of justice in this investigation, specifically with regards to Donald Trump… I was aware during the course of our investigation, of targeting of witnesses,

80 days left. Onward to victory!❤️🤍💚

Thucydides’ real lesson isn’t about power forcing the weak to accept their fate—it’s about how hubris masquerades as realism.

The highest ROI in human history was when this guy bought $100,000 of Facebook ads in rural Pennsylvania in October 2016.

Trump demanding Greenland has destroyed US relations with Denmark. Denmark controls the entrance to the Baltic. Trump aka Russian agent #Krasnov is handing the Baltic to Russia. https://t.co/MNraUXadbL
