The claim “RFK Jr. does not fuck chickens” is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that RFK Jr. fucks chickens.
Research is not desirable anymore. Principiis obsta; sero medicina paratur.
Something deeply troubling & shocking is happening at Exeter University*, where a mass cull of staff is planned, even though it's in surplus. No good justifications given. @jamesgdyke.info provides the details: www.technosphere.earth/the-bonfire-... *Disclosure: I have a Visiting Fellowship here. +🧵
With my sincerest recommendations. Mark is a journalist amongst other things and one does not need to like him in order to take his writings as food for thought.
“The rise of Fascism across the globe is directly linked to attempts to stifle any mitigation of the climate crisis. The Ukraine War, what’s happening in the Middle East, the surging power of the Oligarch class, each one influences the other in some way.”
Well, this needs to be reposted more. And it´s not only president, nooooo M´am!!! Bannnig books, closing libraries, making education pay-only "investments", the list could go on forever.
Very interesting read. The discovery of the obvious. Macro economists "should" nod and say "why, yes, certainly". Micro colleagues, too... But hey, it ain´t my personal money. Only that of my pension fund, my state investments, my neighbours care plan, my employers strategy investment...

Ich nehme an, Frau Kahr muss sich nun für Stalin, Mao usw rechtfertigen. Während die SS-Gründer der FPÖ weiterhin kein Thema sind. Übr. hat Stalin steirische Kommunist*innen ermorden lassen.
Without any doubt. Also, it would lighten the room whenever we had "...´s the best thing since Mel Brooks..:" as a moniker of special brilliance.
Mel Brooks is older than sliced bread (first invented in 1928). I guess that makes sliced bread the best invention since Mel Brooks!

Ich darf Journalisten bitten sich nicht einschüchtern zu lassen.
„Die “verurteilten” Journalist:innen werden in ein Ranking eingetragen und mit Punkten bewertet. Haben sie - entgegen journalistischen Grundregeln - Quellen verraten, bekommen sie dafür Pluspunkte. Wenn nicht, gibt es Abzüge.“ (Text: @claudiazettel.bsky.social)
Also, this is getting BY FAR not enough coverage. "Digital Colonialism" is not only covering -Data-for-Money- exchanges but more than just that. And please, please notice that this also happens in Europe.
NEW: Across Africa, the State Department has demanded access to health data for millions of people as a condition of giving countries billions of dollars in aid needed to address HIV, malaria, tuberculosis and other illnesses.

“Trump got played like a violin." 🎻 Trump's former national security adviser John Bolton blasts the president for cutting this Iran deal, saying he was "maneuvered" and "desperate" to get a deal with Iran: "It's very bad for the US. Iran got what they wanted." #TrumpGotPlayed
I have oftentimes referred to him and I say again: You don´t have to like Robert Reich. You don´t have to share all his views. However, PLEASE read what he has to say.
Elon Musk has just become the world’s first trillionaire. Donald Trump is America’s first dictator. But they have more in common than their economic and political dominance. Let me explain. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-era-of-the-super-asholes

Why Trump’s National Security Strategy is a geoeconomic trap for Europe – European Council on Foreign Relations
Trump’s 2025 National Security Strategy reinforces US-led geoeconomic competition and castigates Europe’s cultural and economic decline. Europeans must strength

We are maybe a bit to complicated in our messaging.
This. I've been saying this for years. It's how you behave, not how you worship, live or love.
Apart from the fact that "organisational political position" has become a derogatory term, we should definitely put more emphasis on the USE OF DATA ! Making such a sycophant and pro applauder anything in the space of data accumulation is RECKLESSLY DANGEROUS. Just the tip of the iceberg, malgré
This is the same person who tried to weaponize mortgage information to go after the President’s enemies. This man has no business being anywhere near our national intelligence and security agencies. ⬇️
Here is the link to the mentioned Atlantic Article about #TerryPratchett And again, please read and heed his books. You will be wiser for the effort! www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
I Am Begging You to Read Terry Pratchett
One of England’s funniest writers is in danger of being lost to history.

I could not agree more - with Paul and even more-more with the article... Sir Terry was a monument against human stupidity AND massively funny. However, he´s a not just a humorist. Was. Ever will be!
It's not just that he was such a great writer or the modern day equivalent of Dickens and Swift. He was very funny and probably inspired more writers than any other modern writer in England. I laughed so hard on the London metro once, people asked what I was reading. Plus genuinely a nice guy.
I could not agree more and would again caveat against buying any NASDAQ-100 related index buys in the near future. On the contrary, even... and check your funds / ETFs. They could be "mandated" to buy.
Danish Pension Fund Blacklists SpaceX. Previously, dumped US Treasuries over Trump's threat to Greenland. It says Spacex is “grossly overvalued”, and has “catastrophic governance structure” as Elon Musk strives to be a trillionaire. Any chance of City of London growing a backbone? archive.ph/dsVfR
