Hire the houthi do it for the west.

Give them cash up front, tell them to go buy it from gulf nations and ask politely if they will transfer it in the indian ocean somewhere.

The gap between mediocre pub and decent restaurant has actually narrowed perhaps.
Bit of a Giffen good effect?

quite apart from the tax, how does he come to personally be worth 148 years of TSLA’s income?
I know it trades at a ludicrous P/E ratio but he is far from the only share holder.
When this bubble bursts there will be some hangovers one imagines

Maybe if you could put a bit of a pro-crypto slant on things there are some additional ”grants” available from across the pond.

well there's "gas" as petrol and "gas" as in natural gas.

one gas gone up by ~10% and the other gas doubled.

When the world feels a "ukraine 2.0" energy squeeze coming on its marginal fuel, I am not sure how much good feeling there will be.

what do you make of the Citrini report, which seems to be making waves, painting a gloomy picture for the ages?

He doesn’t strike me as the team player type.

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."
Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.
That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

The theme that I see is young, next generation somewhat fresh faced progressives really capture the imagination of the voters and the fear/loathing of conservatives.

Spencer, Mamdani, Polanski, AOC,

People just want a bit of hope. They forgive a lot of ideological inconsistency for that

Listening to Ezra Klein w/ Jack Clark from Anthropic about AI Agents.

Intriguing..("clusters of 'Claudes' as a team" etc. ) - usual sense I get with AI, of dread and despondency

However somewhat undercut by Clark's voice and vocal mannerisms being identical to Richard Ayoade in full irony mode.

isn't $200m quite small, in the Anthropic scheme of things?

Dear bluesky - this is a bit of a longshot but I am getting a bit obsessed by Symbolist art. Does anyone know of any resources of good examples about examples of it on show in London?

thinking.,. Rops, Kubin, Moreau, Stuck, Redilon etc.

When Greta Thunberg was on a flotilla heading to Gaza, I would hazard a guess that Farage thought it a publicity stunt and he reiterated his belief "the people behind her are exploiting her".

Mr Kettle, meet Ms Pot?
