4 key questions from Assad’s collapse
International Intrigue, Monday 9 December 2024
I am particularly proud of this morning's edition of Intrigue covering the 4 key questions we're asking after Assad’s collapse.
Even better, unlike some prominent geopolitical commentators, we promise never to delete it even if we're wrong.

Maybe. I dunno. My issue is I saw an investment deck a few yrs ago predicated on the market size of making ppl feel guilty for not tipping. Not innovation. just give me a 2.5% slice of good humans' guilt. It's a robber baron age again just 1s and 0s instead of train tracks.

A social media post by former president Moon Jae-in calls on the military to resist upholding "unconstitutional declarations of martial law" and for the National Assembly to request a lifting of the declaration, which - as per the ROK constitution - the president would be required to oblige.

Anyone got any idea what's going on behind the scenes in South Korea?
I (and the @intriguemedia.bsky.social team) would love to chat with anyone with any SK political experience!

People on X moan about the media being biased and people on Bluesky moan about the media being biased.
Take it from a media founder, the most bipartisan thing in the world is how much some folks bleat when their opinions aren't reflected back at them.

🌍 Chipping away

"The CHIPS Act’s three biggest bets were that America’s Intel, Korea’s Samsung, and/or Taiwan’s TSMC could help revive domestic chip-making in the US. But after Pat Gelsinger just retired from Intel, only one of the three is looking promising."

Everyone (mostly @explaintrade.com) laughed at us when we wanted to bring our highly amusing and witty takes on global news to Bluesky.
Well, nobody's laughing now.
