The bear market is over. RIP you bears who didn't realize the 4 year cycle would not happen because most people believed in it.

When you people thought Q4 of 2025 would be parabolic, you didn't realize that since most of you believed it, then most of you had already bought in. Hence the buyers were out of ammo. You also didn't realize that many people would sell early to front run the top which caused the Q4 rally to be weak.

Then most you thought the top was in and panic sold early in 2026, hoping to buy back after Q4 2026. You did not realize that the majority belief of a year long bear market like the previous cycles would mean that most of the sellers would sell early. This means the sellers got exhausted early.

We have already bottomed.

RIP crypto investors and traders who don't realize that the belief of the majority can have an impact on what happens in opposition of the majority.

UK bonds started going up at the start of the Iran war, just like US bonds. To blame it on the Labour leadership crisis is misleading.

You can't look at these two charts and honestly say they have a different recent pattern.

The media has been blaming it all on Starmer's leadership crisis even though the US market had the same spike in recent days.

48 Rapid-Fire Interview With Takashi Tezuka

In the video game community we don't celebrate creators as much as other entertainment industries do. I think Tezuka is a legend who should be celebrated.

The humans behind the games are more important than the games.

What is the point of not advertising the hidden games on the Arcade Stick Pro?

If it comes with 20 games installed and it is possible to legally add 20 more, then why not advertise it as such? Or why not include the other 20 as default?

I believe they could sell more by putting this on the promo material.

Iran seizes its own oil

Source: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/iran-seizes-oil-tanker-ocean-koi-gulf-oman-state-media-says-2026-05-08/

Edit:

This is what the IRIB says (AI translation):

>The naval commandos of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army carried out a special operation to seize the violating tanker Ocean Koi (OCEAN KOI), which was allegedly attempting to disrupt Iran’s oil exports and harm the interests of the Iranian people, and brought it back to the country.

>According to IRIB News Agency, citing the Army’s Public Relations Office, and pursuant to a resolution of the Supreme National Security Council and a judicial order, the Navy of the Islamic Republic of Iran planned and executed a special operation in the Sea of Oman. During the operation, it seized the violating tanker Ocean Koi (OCEAN KOI) carrying a cargo of Iranian oil. The statement said the tanker had been exploiting regional conditions in an attempt to damage and disrupt Iran’s oil exports and the interests of the Iranian people.

>During the operation, naval commandos and marines of the Army Navy directed the tanker to the country’s southern shores and handed it over to judicial authorities.

>The Navy of the Islamic Republic of Iran stated that it will firmly defend the interests and assets of the Iranian people in the country’s regional waters and will show no leniency toward violators or aggressors.

So a tanker carrying Iranian oil was disrupting Iranian oil exports? Was this tanker following US orders?

Some time ago my royalty payments stopped. I realized it was because some details such as my DOB were missing. How long should it take to get money that was made months or years ago? Is it the normal 60 day period?

He says Iranian oil well heads will be permanently destroyed. The man is a professor in defense studies which doesn't make him an oil expert but he is giving out that information on Sky News like he is an expert with nice looking diagrams.

This is fooling the public. But how did this happen? Why not call in real experts to talk?
