40·7 hours ago(The Cradle) Oil prices rise as Iran outlines Hormuz demands
▪️Crude oil prices opened the week higher after Iran reiterated that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed unless the United States meets its six conditions, while renewed Ansarallah attacks on Saudi energy infrastructure and Red Sea ports added to supply concerns. Brent crude rose to around $84.24 per barrel and WTI to $78.70, with analysts noting that the prospects of Washington accepting Tehran’s demands remain remote, increasing the likelihood of continued disruption to regional energy flows.

Abu Dhabi National Oil Co (ADNOC), the UAE’s state-owned energy giant, has announced plans to construct a new liquefied natural gas export facility on the country’s eastern coast designed to bypass the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
The strategic pivot comes as regional maritime security deteriorates significantly, with ADNOC reporting that three of its commercial vessels fell victim to drone and missile attacks while transiting the vital waterway over the past week.
The proposed eastern coastline infrastructure aims to insulate future hydrocarbon shipments from ongoing disruptions inside the Persian Gulf as Iran responds to vessels defying maritime conditions. (https://t.me/thecradlemedia/65916)

news@hexbear.net•A Trans Woman Pulled a Gun and Started a ‘Stand Your Ground’ DebateEnglish
53·2 days agoThis is what happens when a society created a unsafe environment loaded with guns. Not a single thing done here was different then if the people had been cis. But because this women wasn’t going to take shit then she got the law coming at her.
She could in fact gone back inside when the harassment happened but two issues.
-
It might signal to these yahoos that she is a easy target and if the get it in their head they could stay around to attack later.
-
Its really fucking shit to be the one being harrased and told to suck it up and leave. Its a understandble reaction at first but falls apart a little under more heavy scrutiny.
These men are the ones who started it. And now them and all the macho fucks are upset because the status quo was not enforced. So now they need to try and save face anyway they can. This kind of thing is inevitable when you live in a fascist empire like this. Some people are not going to sit around waiting for the axe to fall. Some people are going to fight back instead of cowering away. How smart that is at which opportunity is a moot point. When the back breaks and the last straw is taken, shit is going to happen.

55·3 days agoOur city council is doing this level of shit. Crying about public safety while they get people arrested for doing basic ass shit. Hoping it’ll get people to feel like there isn’t a point in doing this meh level “protesting” and we can do stuff with more impact. But who knows. Liberals have us by the throat around here.

18·3 days agointeresting. I know when I poked around with a website for a little while, there was a command that would tell it what size to put it. But I guess for something like that you need access to a different part of the code than what we have access to as a forum poster?
