(Start with the cheapest solution first... 😂) Like truck... drivers, there is a SKILLED diesel tech shortage. (Skilled is the key word for both. We have plenty of dock bumpers and oil changers.) 👉65.5% of shops are understaffed, with 19.3% of tech positions unfilled. 👉Tech schools currently supply just 10k techs per year 👉61.8% of new diesel techs are hired W/O formal training 👉30% are unqualified in essential skill areas. If you can't maintain and keep equipment running, the world stops.show more

I’m pretty new to X, and I genuinely don’t... know how people keep up with everything happening in tech on here without doomscrolling for hours 😭 a lot of my job is keeping up with what people in tech are talking about, so I have a Replit ⠕ Routine to do some of the scrolling for me. I gave it a list of people in tech I actually want to keep up with and use the X connector. every morning it goes through their posts and gives me a brief of what’s actually worth knowing. today it reviewed 252 posts. 252!!! I was absolutely not reading all of those myself 😭 now I kinda want to make one for YouTube and Instagram too...show more

Today is a busy day on campus with 5-6... schools stopping by to recruit our athletes. Behind the scenes moments like these remind us why we do what we do. One of our guys just earned his first offer (Jhadyn Nelson) and a big shoutout to Texas Tech for the way they handled it. They showed genuine care and respect for the process and the player. Jhadyn, class of 2027 (6’3-210 SS/LB) is an unbelievable player that so many programs will come after. Texas Tech knows what this kid can do. To all our athletes: keep grinding. Stay humble. This is just the beginning. Your coaches are behind you every step of the way — not just for the offers, but for your growth and your future. Don’t take a single opportunity for granted.show more

"We are currently engaged with the government in planning... a future experiment." ~Professor Avi Loeb 🛸 New: Are Loeb and the UAP Science Advisory Council About to Bait UFOs? 🛸 (IF this is the plan, why not livestream it if none of the council have a security clearance and everything you guys deal with is not classified? Full transparency, right?) Loeb: "If we had access to materials, then we could do much more. And so, we are currently engaged with the government in planning a future experiment where we would go to the field, together with the government, and place some instrumentation there and collect new data." Also... Loeb: "We submitted a request for more than 50 items of information about past incidents and we hope to get some of those shared with us. That is data that goes beyond what was released (in the 5 dumps)."show more

🚨 SOMETHING EXTREMELY BAD JUST HAPPENED!! Iran has just... closed the Strait of Hormuz again. The reason is simple: Tehran accused the US of violating agreements and continuing the blockade. The Iranian armed forces command stated: CONTROL OVER THE STRAIT HAS "RETURNED TO ITS PREVIOUS STATUS." Until the US stops PIRACY. The IEA has already called the events of 2026 “the largest disruption in the history of the oil market.” If you hold any assets: - Stocks - Crypto - Bonds - Gold or Silver - US dollar YOU MUST READ this post before it’s too late. Here’s what’s happening right now: OIL AND FUEL Amid news of the renewed closure, Brent is pumping to $120 per barrel. Around 20% of the world’s oil passes through the strait. The blockade cuts off supply from: - Saudi Arabia - UAE - Kuwait - Iraq If the closure lasts more than two weeks, a physical gasoline shortage in Europe and Asia will begin. Shares of oil giants (ExxonMobil, Chevron) and service companies are flying higher again. Since the start of the year, the energy sector is up 25% and remains the only island of stability. A closed strait again means rising jet fuel prices (30–35% of global exports pass through it). Airline stocks and retailers dependent on global supply chains will be under heavy pressure in Monday’s premarket. The market is squeezed between strong Q1 earnings and fear that expensive oil will reignite inflation. If inflation does not slow, THE FED will not cut rates, and that is poison for tech. Bitcoin is currently ranging around $75,000–$77,000. The strait closure is a trigger for volatility. If oil pushes toward $150, we could see a FLASH CRASH driven by market panic. Followed by a strong bid as a hedge against currency debasement. This sounds SCARY, but I will keep you updated on everything here. When I rotate money, I will post my moves here so my FOLLOWERS can SAVE their money. Follow me and turn NOTIFICATIONS ON, as I will share my strategy soon.

We had a driver this week in a litigation... case lose their load because they didn't know straps werent the same WLL as graded chain. Not all drivers are created equal. A CDL is not a CDL is not a CDL. We’ve got plenty of dock-bumper drivers for basic freight. The real shortage is trained, mechanically inclined, mode-specific operators. Dry van is not open deck. Open deck is not tank. Tank is not hazmat. Hazmat is not heavy haul. When fleets add specialized modes and start sliding basic freight drivers into them without real training, securement knowledge, mechanical sense, or understanding of the exposure, that is where failure starts. The truck may look similar. The work is not.show more

Valthos builds next-generation biodefense. Of all AI applications, biotechnology... has the highest upside and most catastrophic downside. Heroes at the frontlines of biodefense are working every day to protect the world against the worst case. But the pace of biotech is against them: more powerful methods to design biological systems, with near-universal access, open up an increasing surface area of threats. In this new world, the only way forward is to be faster. So we set out to build the tech stack for biodefense. Our team of computational biologists and software engineers applies frontier AI to identify biological threats and update medical countermeasures in real-time. We are backed by $30M from OpenAI, Lux Capital, Founders Fund and others including Definition. We are actively hiring engineers to join in the mission - if that sounds like you, get in touch.show more

🚨YOU ARE WASTING ONE OF THE BEST BATTER IN... THE WORLD - KRIS SRIKKANTH🤯 Kris Srikkanth said :🗣️ "I don't think KL Rahul is liking this demotion. You are wasting one of the best batters in the world in ODIs. Are you going to continue sacrificing one of the world's best batters? There is too much made out of the left-right combination. By doing this, you are spoiling KL Rahul's confidence. He's a potential match winner for you. How can you send him at No 6 & 7? They are playing around with Rahul, and that is not done. There is no way Washington Sundar can be ahead of KL Rahul. You can't have Sundar at 5. It's fine for low totals, but if the target is over 300, they will be struggling with this batting order".show more

Investigators are reviewing a newly surfaced video that is... now part of an investigation into two teens charged with the murder of a Maryland business owner. The footage shows the suspects torching the victim's truck with the victim bound inside. The suspects, 18-year-old Jonah Poole of Davidsonville and Kylee Dakes of Harwood are accused of killing 67-year-old Steve Koza, the owner of Tropic Bay Water Gardens. Both suspects are now facing multiple charges, including first-degree murder, arson and assault. Police say Koza was bound at the hands, arms and mouth with tape, placed in the back seat of his own pickup truck and set on fire in the parking lot of his business on May 24. Authorities say both suspects had prior connections to local businesses-including the victim's. They should face the same punishment. We need ‘Eye for an Eye’ laws. What you do to someone is done right back to you.show more

The Sabotaging Practice of Over Supply and Sameness in... the NFT Space. The current zeitgeist of the NFT space is that the same artists are doing the same kind of work five times a year, with project after project leaving a trail of disappointment and discontent among collectors and all of us watching in disbelief as huge resources are extracted from the space over work that feels like it could be left as an "artist study." I understand that you can do what you want with your money as collectors, but we are killing the whole space with this incestuous practice. No artist is that prolific to be able to do 5 collections of 100+ pieces each every year and actually deliver innovation and some kind of creative evolution. Of course, they can pretend play that the work has something new, but there is no precedent nor proof that that has ever happened in the speed that it happens in the NFT space. Again, people are free to through away their resources on whatever they want but with this way of doing things, we more and more are going to start seeing the consequences. Oh! There are consequences? Yes. Maybe unintended, but there are. Let's see. Let's start with the loss of belief in the NFT space as somewhere where emerging artists can come and find support for their experiments. Why even bother to bring experiments, innovation, and new ways to think of art on the blockchain if the same people have all the collectors hypnotized with their magical flutes? Why even try to come to a space where taking risks and challenging the status quo (the mission of art!!!) is overlooked? This makes the NFT space a social club and not a space for art. I guess it is fine, but IMO it is a recipe for disaster. New collectors stay away because the art will slowly but surely become stale and un-challenging. Why even bother to come and see what is happening here if you can't, as a collector, see new weird and up-and-coming artists? The amount of noise emitted by the same artists doing the same art over and over, drowns out any new voices. Again. A recipe for disaster. The NFT space is becoming a space of disappointment and doubt. We think that collections going to zero one after the other, over and over, is not damaging? I feel we are kidding ourselves. Disappointment piles up, and again, the people who will hurt are the emerging artists, the new blood, the ones who are willing to risk the most and, in return, put fire in this cold space of sameness. I love this space—don't get me wrong—it has changed my life, and I believe it has a ton of potential, but things need to change for it to become a beacon of light in art. But we need to support new voices. We need to support new ideas. The challenge is huge. I hope to contribute all I can to this change. I hope more and more see how exciting it is to go out and try to discover what else is out there and move this space forward. But again, I understand the leaps of faith needed, but if there is a space that is based on that, it's the NFT space...so there is hope. We will see. 📺by Boldtronshow more

A similar scenario is playing out today with China,... except the roles are reversed. In (at least) one of his interviews, Palmer Luckey explains that we can build incredible high tech weapons, but China can still wreck carriers and bases by throwing thousands of cheaper missiles at them, even lower quality ones, because the numbers just overwhelm you and burn through your defenses fast. The problem is that we don’t produce enough of our good tech, we build it way too slow, and it costs a fortune to replace, while they’re pumping missiles out of factories at a pace we gave up on years ago. So all that fancy stuff only works if you can actually keep replacing it once the fight starts, and right now we can’t. We need systems that are cheap enough to lose and easy to make in big numbers, because the side that runs out first loses.show more

Our daughter Julia and some girlfriends are visiting San... Francisco, California, for the first time, and her initial reaction is: “I love how many tech people are here. I can immediately recognize.” As if to prove the point, the girls took a ride in a Waymo (driverless taxi)—a Jaguar no less—which still seems like magic to me. Nice to have a sense of wonder in a world where we’ve become so jaded to technological advances.show more

The problems in Russia’s oil and gas sector are... already becoming systemic. Russia is refining less oil, transporting it at a higher cost, facing problems with export infrastructure, and already losing oil and gas revenues. Let’s take a look at what exactly is happening inside Russia. First, the Russian authorities themselves are no longer treating the shortage as a short-term disruption. A complete ban on diesel exports was introduced in early July, and it is quite likely to be extended through the end of the year. Gasoline exports are banned until January 31, 2027, and jet fuel exports until the end of November. Russia has also started importing additional petroleum products from Asia and Belarus. Second, Russia is physically refining less and less oil. According to Kpler, Russian refineries processed around 3.8 million barrels per day in July - the lowest level in more than two decades. EA Analytics estimates the figure even lower, at approximately 3.6 million barrels per day. For comparison, the normal level for this period in 2020-2025 was 5.3-5.6 million barrels per day. Third, Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries are continuing. A cycle has effectively formed: strike - repairs - partial recovery - another strike. Following the August 21 attack, the Perm Oil Refinery, with an annual capacity of 13.1 million tonnes, was completely shut down. Since August 2025, at least 25 Russian oil refineries have been targeted. Fourth, the diesel shortage is making the economy more expensive - increasing the cost of harvesting, reducing the resilience of Russia’s logistics system, and consequently affecting prices overall. Fifth, even the oil Russia manages to produce is becoming more difficult and expensive to export. In the first half of August, exports from western ports amounted to around 2.3 million barrels per day instead of the planned 2.7 million. Novorossiysk was particularly affected: shipments fell to around 400,000 barrels per day, compared with 800,000-1 million in June-July. Previously, problems at refineries could be partially offset by increasing crude oil exports. But when refineries, ports, terminals and tankers are all being targeted simultaneously, this becomes much harder. Exports have not collapsed, but they have become more expensive and less predictable. The same applies to petroleum products: in July, seaborne exports of fuel oil and vacuum gasoil fell by around 12%, to 2.4 million tonnes. The situation with gas is structurally worse. The Power of Siberia pipeline has already nearly reached its contractual ceiling - around 38.8 billion cubic meters per year. Power of Siberia 2 is primarily constrained by price: China wants gas at a significantly lower price than Russia is willing to sell it for. LNG faces even more problems: the EU has already begun phasing out imports, while redirecting supplies to Asia means longer and more expensive logistics. China is increasing its purchases of Russian gas, but it has not replaced Europe and will not replace it quickly. The most serious problem is the budget. In the first half of the year, Russia’s oil and gas revenues fell by 22.7% year-on-year, and by 16.8% over the first seven months. By January-April alone, the federal budget deficit had reached 5.88 trillion rubles, exceeding the planned deficit for the entire year. On top of this come the costs of refinery repairs, air defense, fuel imports, alternative routes, freight and insurance. Despite all these losses, we can see that Russian oil and gas revenues have not yet collapsed, although adaptation is becoming increasingly expensive. For now, the Kremlin is being helped by the crisis around the Strait of Hormuz, which is keeping oil prices high. At the same time, Russia’s ability to refine and export this oil is deteriorating. So far, high prices are offsetting these losses. If the situation around Hormuz stabilizes and Brent prices fall, the current logistical and fuel problems could become much more serious for Russia.show more
