is there anything to be said for another referendum?
the mpox response was a triumph of public health and we're doing our best to destroy the foundations on which it was built 😬
set your expectations low enough, and every day will be full of joy and wonder
a shadowy cabal of financiers is using Israel to pull the strings, and all of this can be decoded by parsing a gaffe uttered by a notoriously gaffe-prone politician? yeah I'm sorry, that echoes antisemitic rhetoric
but she had gone away for a bit! and here she is again, on bbg and sky and who knows where else
ok now you're just parroting antisemitic conspiracy theories, glhf
Sure we can go into all that but if your starting point is that "jail time for a tweet" is obviously unreasonable and unintended you won't get there.
every jurisdiction in the world (yes, even the US) will jail you for for a tweet if it's extreme enough. We're just arguing over where to draw the line
up to and including "no, actual Greeks don't get to define what Greek culture is"
hbd! 🎂
So why is Liz Truss popping up everywhere all of a sudden, what's the story here? does she have a new agent?
It flourished even when it was uncontroversially very inconvenient to these interests though (I don't think they particularly like it even now)
Zionism can be useful to American and British interests. That doesn't mean they came up with it, other people have agency
this just in: UvdL is a conservative
when the constitutional practice and norms point to not enforcing the law that leaves you in an awkward spot
Well this is awkward. Love the local media angle, this might not have come to light had it not been for Svalbardposten
fwiw, for now the RUK line is "of course we're not going to sink boats. get a grip"
well played, cat
Farage is savvy enough to stay clear of some red lines that he reckons would sink him electorally and that's not good enough for Musk
Labour literally being told "Steady on there, you're going a bit too harsh" by the people who did the fucking Windrush Scandal
quakers ❤️ it's not for me but sure makes me wish it was
what did they know
you know, when your blood calls to its soil
god, the head!
and whatever is going on with the Schlapps
controversial
spreadsheets, obviously
I'm just glad that Bayraktar money is being reinvested sensibly
I mean it is going to be a long time until the next general election. but those polls 😬
plenty of natural resources to be diverted
why not both dot gif 😞
early modern Swedish armies got around but some crimes are unforgivable
the Swedes have done much worse than that "whipping cream, chili sauce, bananas, roasted peanuts, bacon and Italian salad seasoning"
just second-hand embarrassment on behalf of the Swiss relatives
so does the Donald J Trump Space Command Center replace the von Braun Centre for Science and Innovation or is it a complement?
not when you look at who's on track to form the next govt
get in loser, we're going regime changing
not Swiss so I might be off but AIUI it's very popular. I hope they gave you grated cheese too for the full sensory experience?
probably a similar real/hypothetical distinction? I moot = I have to I must = I'd have to
oh dear another foreigner has discovered ghackets mit hörnli
Where there are existing and aptly named facilities
my god what a shower of lickspittles
you may not like it but this is what peak UI design looks like
🤯
well, they're letting him chair the nightmare blunt rotation breakout session on Border Security and American Sovereignty with Mark Krikorian, James Uthmeier, John Fonte and Auron MacIntyre.
Oh hello beautiful
NBCUSA isn't that Northern, is it? just very very Black
heh. I love Chicago but fully accept that I am too soft and coddled to live there full time
just cold enough that you're regularly cancelling school because the children would get frostbite, no biggie
now do January
by analogy to högtyska, I assume?
will you volunteer as tribute?
the long form stuff hasn't been much better, at least recently
touché. but also it was the Done Thing
And German aristocrats as royal families for their revolutionaries to shoot at
hbd! 🎂
and in the meantime it's fine to grab him off the street, then lock him up in a detention centre for a month before grudgingly releasing him into the UK without the right to work?
oh I'm getting ready.
Never before has a country gone all in on setting up a financial crisis
They don't know that, though. They just like ripping things out
Looking forward to the bluesky kremlinology, I'm sure everyone will have very measured takes
they've not yet paid a branding consultant $20m to come up with something as inspired as Mondelēz
so the grand re-badging to Department of War?
No, Matt, people are calling it fascism because the military is being deployed in an effort to intimidate the city’s residents
I had to read this paragraph so now it’s your turn
The PTSD on display over this incident is quite something
That proposition might find a decent amount of support, I fear.
Definitely
Yes yes Algeria and all that but people are sleeping on Brittany, Occitania, Alsace and French Flanders
The Spanish socialists seem to do ok, for now
It really depends on what if any basket(s) of cash + securities the ETF provider was willing to accept for ETF creations in the lead up to the IPO, and that’s not usually public information AIUI
I’d expect ETF arbitrage to get a little tricky right around the IPO
If you have access to the creation/redemption mechanism you can transact exactly at NAV though (mod fees)
There are oases here and there to be sure
They’re mostly from South America though, so we get decent arepas and ceviche but London remains a taco desert
Also you’re not going to keep it because someone or something has to pay for the infrastructure that keeps this place running. Right now that’s venture capitalists but they won’t continue to keep a stagnant social media venture afloat
Bloody hell.
Imagining how a Tory govt would have reacted to the BBC carrying water for the opposition like this
Ok, but you see how defending progressive Zionism against those who would tar all Zionists with the same brush sits uneasily with the assertion that “Free Palestine” whenever it appears as a standalone means “Eradicate Israel”
It’s not a secret that many of his posts are ghostwritten (boss-imitation skill levels vary)
Nice one. AIUI ARK could have prevented this if they cared to protect their investors but that’s an afterthought for many ETF providers
Right but they both reflect and shape where people think the city limits are. And for administrative purposes it matters that, whatever locals may think, Dulwich is officially in London but Montrouge is not officially in Paris
The crusader states would like a word
Officially most of that is not Paris
The true cost of right wing think tank sinecures
But then the footprint of Paris has not changed much since 1860, unlike London’s
Derping towards the Fuhrer
The grants weren’t just promises by Biden. A law had been passed under which Intel had a legal entitlement to them, so the process is highly irregular even if the outcome might be defensible in principle
The thing is that that shit isn't helping. As a migrant on this island, I feel /in danger/, and actually however much you might find prescriptive statements expressed as descriptive ones annoying, I am grateful for anyone who draws a clear line of saying fuck you to Farage
Looking forward to everyone’s takes on private equity
So who’s to say if it’s good or bad
Ah but on the other hand
Once again...
In fairness the German economy and stock market really were down in the dumps in 1932 (had started recovering already when Hitler came to power)
Reposting for no particular reason
The German stock market didn't start wobbling until 1941 (and then the government promptly prohibited stock prices from falling)
‘Gringo’ if you’re in a hurry
Kemi, Rob is not dealing with the same abuse you’re dealing with, on account of his being a white, English man for one
