@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 130 years ago, getting a car to move was a pretty big deal. Now we're watching one fly. Henry Ford's 1896 Quadricycle had bicycle-style wheels, a petrol engine and just two speeds. Fast-forward to Tesla's new Roadster. SpaceX cold-gas thrusters, acceleration that puts fighter jets to shame, and the ability to lift off the ground. From figuring out how to drive on roads to building cars that can actually leave them. Henry Ford would've had some serious questions. @Tesla @SpaceX / Writer: Annette, Designer: Janné ♥ 174

@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 Elon wants to put CARGO TRUCKS UNDERGROUND The Boring Company showed off its Prufrock Liner Truck, powered by Tesla Model 3 batteries and drive units, hauling a FULL-SIZED 20-FOOT SHIPPING CONTAINER through one of its tunnels. And the footage shows the truck emerging from the tunnel with its massive load. Imagine moving freight beneath cities while everyone else is stuck in traffic ABOVE.

@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Tehran reportedly refused a "fireworks" strike on Pickaxe Mountain with no retaliation attached... which means the next American bomb may not come with a script The claim comes from IRIB, Iran's state broadcaster, and no Western outlet has confirmed it: Washington asked Tehran to sit still while the US hit the Pickaxe Mountain enrichment site as a symbolic, one-off strike, and Tehran said no while warning it could go after approaching carrier groups. Take that with the skepticism Iranian state media has earned. What is confirmed is the shape of the plan. CNN reported last week that the Pentagon's options include dropping the 21,600-pound MOAB on energy and nuclear sites including Pickaxe, that planners concede it can't punch through the granite, and that at least some inside the building call it a "fireworks show" meant as an off-ramp. Trump then went on Newsmax to remind everyone the MOAB "is not nuclear," without denying it's on the table. Put those two pieces together and the IRIB story stops sounding absurd. A strike that is designed to look big and change nothing only works if the other side agrees to play along, and every exchange since June has followed that pattern: a limited US hit, a measured Iranian answer, both capitals claiming a win. Iran has rebuilt its air defenses, it just claimed its 54th Reaper, it's expanding tanker attacks past the strait and its officials told Reuters the goal is pressure through the midterms. A regime that believes it's winning the slow war has no reason to absorb a free punch. That leaves Washington with the worst version of the choice. Short wars stay short because both sides want them to, and right now only one side does. Source: IRIB / CNN / Newsmax / Writer: Daniel ♥ 941
@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 🇮🇷 🇮🇱 🇹🇷 No country in the Middle East is strong enough to impose order... and no outside power wants the job. Aaron David Miller says the region is stuck in a cycle where one conflict rolls straight into the next, with no clean exit anywhere: "I see no regional hegemon, no single state capable of imposing or enforcing its policies or its will." The three non Arab powers, Iran, Israel and Turkey, are the ones to watch while everyone else gets ground down. @aarondmiller2 ♥ 62
@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 🚨🇺🇸🇻🇪 Halliburton, Baker Hughes, SLB and Weatherford are hiring in Venezuela again as the first American rigs roll back in nine months after Maduro was taken The job boards tell the story: SLB has 35 openings in Anaco, Maturin and Caracas, Weatherford has at least 20 after pulling out in 2019, Baker Hughes is staffing up in Maracaibo and Halliburton says it's building its talent pool. Chevron is about to switch on four rigs, Patterson-UTI is shipping parts for ten more and the CEO's verdict was "it'll be fine for Venezuela." This is exactly what the January operation was for. The largest oil reserves on earth sit 1,400 miles from Houston, the companies rebuilding them are American, and every barrel that comes out of the Orinoco is one less the US needs from the Gulf. Reality creeps in as you look at the pace though. Two rigs are running in the whole country today, the refineries are wrecks, and the forecast is only 1.5 million barrels a day by late 2027 from 1.2 million now. Venezuela won't lower gas prices before the midterms, but it's the one energy bet Washington made this year that's actually drilling. Source: Reuters / Writer: Daniel ♥ 109

@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 🇺🇸 Seized ballot boxes and uncertified winners are midterm scenarios retired federal judges can no longer rule out. Aaron David Miller says the people he trusts most, retired federal judges and lawyers, can't dismiss a fight over certifying newly elected Democrats, with red state governors under pressure to go along: "This country is going to be thrown into a constitutional crisis, which carries the real prospects of dysfunction and violence." Two weeks out from November 3, the real test is whether the guardrails hold. @aarondmiller2 ♥ 38
@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 🇺🇸 🇮🇷 The midterms may be the only thing holding back a US strike on Iran right now. Aaron David Miller, who spent decades as a State Department Middle East negotiator, says every diplomatic off ramp is failing, and a strike now would hand voters a hot war days before Election Day. The talks themselves have hit a wall: "The gaps on the core issues are unbridgeable." With neither side hurting enough to back down, November 4 could be the day the gloves come off. @aarondmiller2 ♥ 48
@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 🚨🇮🇱 ISRAELI POLICE ARREST 10 SETTLER SUSPECTS IN PRE-DAWN RAIDS “Operation Olive Leaf” was launched after reported attacks by settlers across the West Bank during the olive harvest that targeted Palestinians, a WaPo photojournalist, and European diplomats. Accountability for settler violence remains rare; one Israeli rights group said 93.6% of the police investigations it monitored over ~20 years ended without an indictment. Netanyahu warned of a possible “smear campaign,” while his challenger Gadi Eisenkot called the attacks “Jewish terror.” Take a look at the video and judge for yourself...

@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 🚨🇺🇸 U.S. STRATEGIC OIL RESERVE AT LOWEST LEVEL SINCE 1982 America’s emergency crude inventories reportedly DROPPED to 282.7 MILLION BARRELS, the lowest since Oct. 1982. The decline comes as the White House moves ahead with a 172-MILLION-BARREL-RELEASE to help offset oil market disruptions linked to the Iran war. Private oil companies borrowing crude from the reserve are required to return it to the DoE with additional barrels as a premium. If the emergency tank IS drained before it can be replenished, America is SCREWED if another crisis hits. Source: Reuters, U.S. Energy Info. Admin., DoE / Writer: Marie ♥ 308

@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 🇮🇷 🇺🇸 The Iran war has been spreading across the map since day one, and its separate fronts could soon bleed into each other. Trita Parsi says nothing is left to keep these battlefields apart, and the spread doesn't need anyone to plan it: "It's important to understand that this is not necessarily because there is a calculation to go in that direction, but because the situation gets out of control." Nobody has to choose a regional war for one to happen, and right now nobody is doing much to stop it. @tparsi ♥ 36
@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 🇸🇦 🇾🇪 Saudi Arabia got through the Iran war mostly intact... until the Houthis hit Riyadh's airport. Trita Parsi says that strike shoved Riyadh into a fight it can't finish cleanly, and the course it's on now only makes things worse: "It's not only not realistic, it's dangerous. It's undermining Saudi Arabia's own interest and security." With the Houthis going nowhere, how long before Riyadh has to pick between a deal it hates and a war it can't win? @tparsi ♥ 73

@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 PsyopAnime nails it with a parody of the “I’m as mad as hell” speech from the 1976 film “Network.” Crime, the economy, public institutions… Things are going downhill, but after becoming passive and disconnected, the first step is to get angry and stop putting up with it. A call to action is made, and the people cry out: “I’M MAD AS HELL! And I’m NOT going to take it anymore!” Are you mad as hell yet? @grok Writer: Marie https://t.co/90yFabEx5o ♥ 31
@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 🇯🇵🇺🇸 Japan is going where no one has gone before: a moon of Mars... and back again with souvenirs JAXA’s $350 million mission, with $87 million chipped in by NASA, launched Tuesday on a five-year round trip to Phobos, a 17-mile space potato that might be a captured asteroid or a chunk blasted off Mars itself. Russia tried the same thing in 2011 and never left Earth orbit. Japan’s Hayabusa probes already brought asteroid dust home twice, so the country with the thinnest headlines in space is about to answer a question NASA has been asking since the 1970s.

@MarioNawfal · Oct 20, 2026 🇮🇷 🇮🇱 🇺🇸 A third round of the Iran war could go after desalination plants and undersea internet cables from day one. Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute, says round two ended up looking just like round one, and round three is shaping up the same way, except Israel is now pushing to hit energy sites, water plants and the cables under the Gulf right out of the gate. Those threats tend to get carried out: "When it comes to these military threats, they've acted on most of them, to the best of my knowledge." Those cables run through the whole Gulf, so cutting them would knock Iran's neighbors offline right alongside Iran. @tparsi ♥ 99
