Not to dunk on this but it isn't really true that the Hormuz oil crisis is driving a solar boom. Here's this chart updated to June of China solar exports, showing that the March spike in exports has subsided and was therefore mostly just export tax rebate effects.

Chart from BloombergNEF and SinoImex showing monthly dollar-value exports of solar cells and modules from China, by market, from November 2024 to June 2026. They spiked to $4.5bn in March 2026 because a key China export tax rebate was removed, fell to $3.1bn in April - still high but possibly due to some spillover effects and deadline missing - and then are back to a normal-ish level of $2.2bn in May and $2.5bn in June.

Absolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis. You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West

Chart showing solar panel exports from China (the main solar panel maker by a long shot) growing steadily & mightily from 2018 through 2026, then spiking by almost 2x in March 2026.

The coverage of the crisis in Ceuta really gives no humanity to the migrants For smugglers, the Moroccan government, the spanish opposition, and right wing european governments, these people are just tools they can push around for an agenda

For the public at large, (ir)rationality seems to mean "things I would (not) do." For economists, rationality is completeness + transitivity of preferences. (You can throw in reflexivity if you'd like, but it's nested within completeness, really.)

Yuzi didn't want to do a first dance cos somehow that makes her more nervous than karaoke, which is what we did instead. So here's a clip of our very traditional First Belter, adapted from Disney's Mulan.

Epic Fail? David's painting of the Death of Socrates portrays Plato on the left as an old man, despite the philosopher being a mere 28 at the time of Socrates' death. How could David have been so wrong?
