THREAD | How Iran and Oman could normalize payments for crossing Hormuz.

Tehran and Muscat are not openly proposing a toll. They are building the possible legal architecture for ships to pay without formally paying for the right of passage.

🧵👇

UNCLOS Articles 38 and 44 protect continuous transit through international straits and prohibit coastal states from obstructing or suspending it. The narrow opening is the logic of Article 26: vessels cannot be charged merely for passing, but non-discriminatory fees may be collected for specific services actually rendered.

A defensible Iran–Oman system could therefore combine paid pilotage, towing, emergency response and other vessel-specific services with a broader Article 43 cooperative mechanism funding navigation aids, traffic management, search and rescue, and pollution response. Tariffs would need to be transparent, proportionate to real costs and identical for comparable vessels, ideally with IMO involvement and independent auditing.

Walden, everyone should read it at least once. Not because you’ll agree with everything Henry David Thoreau wrote, but because somewhere in those quiet pages he’ll remind you of a voice you’ve spent your whole life trying to hear, your own

The wild was never just about the forest and rivers to Thoreau. It was a mirror. A place where the noise of the world became quiet enough that a man could finally discover whether his life belonged to him, or to everyone else

We built cities to insulate ourselves from the wild. Somewhere along the way, we forgot the wild was where we’re from. Every trail reminds us that we were not made only to consume, but to wander, hunt and hope. Not only to earn, but to believe. Not only to survive, but become

🚨 In a 2-1 vote, the D.C. Circuit has restored the Trump administration's 2025 expansion of expedited removal for noncitizens, allowing the DHS to apply expedited removal nationwide to the full extent Congress authorized.

The court said that plaintiffs were unlikely to prevail on their due‑process claim because Congress authorized fast‑track removal with minimal procedural safeguards, and the existing statutory safeguards are constitutionally sufficient.

MELATONIN FOR SLEEP: What Most People Get Wrong
Melatonin gummies and tablets have become hugely popular. Many people take them every night hoping for "better sleep."
But what exactly is melatonin, and who benefits from it?
A thread examining the evidence for and against melatonin.

1/12
What is melatonin?
🔸Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced by the brain (pineal gland), mainly after sunset. Its primary role is to regulate the body's internal clock (circadian rhythm). Think of it as a "darkness signal" rather than a sleeping pill.

2/12
Melatonin doesn't work like traditional sleeping pills
🔸A common misconception is that melatonin will "knock you out." It usually doesn't. Instead, it tells your body that it is time to prepare for sleep.

3/12
When does melatonin work best?
The strongest evidence is for conditions involving a disturbed body clock:
✅ Jet lag
✅ Delayed Sleep-Wake Phase Disorder ("night owl" syndrome)
✅ Shift work-related circadian disruption
✅ Some sleep problems in older adults

Wouldn’t it be great if every classroom had one of these?

Less viruses.
Less allergens.
Less dust and pollution.

2/7

Indoor air quality is appearing in more and more guidance, policies and conversations.

Schools, nurseries, childminders, colleges and after-school clubs are all being encouraged to think about ventilation and air quality.

3/7

What does good ventilation actually look like?

And why are schools being asked to think about it in the first place?

ECHO (Environment Cross-entropy Hybrid Objective) demo support just landed in OpenEnv, and it's a cool idea: train agents to learn a world model almost for free

original paper by @VaishShrivas, Piero Kauffman, Ahmed Awadallah and @DimitrisPapail @MSFTResearch

when an agent acts in an env, a rollout has 2 sides: what the agent writes and what the env writes back

normal agent RL would only train on the agent's side

train a CLI agent with GRPO and the reward shapes the action tokens, while the env's responses get masked out of the loss

all that ground-truth about what actually happened gets thrown away

ECHO proposes using that part too instead of discarding it

on top of the usual RL loss on actions, it adds a small cross-entropy loss on the env's tokens, so the model also learns to predict what the env does

L = GRPO(actions) + λ · CE(observations)

Process the fact that—as of yesterday—if a tourist so much as dips a finger in the Reflecting Pool Trump ruined they get detained for an hour by multiple federal agencies

This is the police state Republicans hysterically warned of for decades, and now that it's here they love it

And if you wonder why the regime is detaining anyone who interacts with the Pool, it is—nakedly and unambiguously—because it needs false arrests to create the impression of civilian criminal activity that doesn't exist and is merely cover for Trump driving The Beast on the Pool

So Trump, using taxpayer cash, overpaid a Bribery-accused ex-con pal by 1000% via a no-bid contract with kickbacks, that guy ruined the Reflecting Pool, Trump then drove on the Pool out of laziness and further destroyed it, and now they're arresting civilians to cover their asses
