"The biggest absurdity here is that Trump is now focusing his war’s endgame on Iran’s willingness to open the strait. But the strait was open before Trump attacked Iran on February 28. Iran blocked it in retaliation for that attack."

@ErikJonker @peterp I really appreciate that many progressive writers use the service although it rubs me off the wrong way seeing "a16z" filling its pockets with it, feels like Darth Vader owning the "Rebel Times". At the end of the day I have to recognise that they have to make a living and the platform gives them the broadest audience. My biggest peeve is that the interface is simply dismal and whatever efforts you put always end up in something looking grey and boring.
