the local photography and print technology store stopped putting prices on their ink because they were changing it so often that it had become impractical. i believe this, because a couple of times this year i've gone in and got them to charge me what was on the tag and not what was in the computer, saving me a little each time.

and that disparity was enough of a problem that they've just stopped pricing them on the package.

this is some goddamn weimar germany shit right here and we're just getting started

Shitstain: "I don't care if [peace talks are] over, honestly. I really don't care. I couldn't care less"

Iranian source saying talks have broken off, Shitstain saying he doesn't care if they go silent, that "we" can wait.

There _are_ major "other fronts" they can open. The Bab-el-Mandeb Strait is quite narrow and the Gulf of Aden isn't invulnerable Obviously given the Suez Canal to the north it's less overwhelming than the Strait of Hormuz, but it'd still be a massive, and I do mean massive, fucking problem.

This is a shoe people have been waiting to see drop since March.

Looks like some more ships are making their way out of the Persian Gulf. What's going to be relevant and interesting is whether and when any ships start going _in_.

Right now, Cosco in particular seem to be pretty focused on getting their ships _out_ while the getting is good.

Aljazzera with a writeup of tonight's exchanges of fire thus far - neither Iran nor the US are saying the "cease-fire" is dead yet but this is the best collection and ordering I've seen:

Reading different speculation on Shitstain's attempts to demand Saudi Arabia and the gulf states to join the Abraham Accords. Aside from "that's a non-starter" and "that's for consumption at home, ignore it" I'm also hearing some ideas that this is his path to blaming Arab states for either entirely-failed negotiations or for coming out with a settlement so dramatically worse than what Obama had.

It's not solid enough to link to, it's just speculation. But it is interesting speculation.
