Stephen Colbert (@StephenAtHome) , @MarineTraffic power user and late night host, is officially coming for my job. Not going to lie I had to do a double take to make sure this was not AI. Turns out Stephen is actually a ship nerd just like us!

@thesamparr Wildwood, NJ has a program to bring in Europeans to work summer jobs on/off the boardwalk. Every time this tweet makes the rounds I think of the Lithuanian I worked with who let me use his ID to get into my first bar on European night. I was 16 and not European lolll.

Reports of the Strait of Hormuz being closed and/or ships avoiding it since Israel’s attack on Iran are simply false. Here is a screenshot from MarineTraffic’s enterprise platform.
