Such wisdom from @ShippersUnbound.

Free politics masterclass from an observer who is liberated by the format to forget narrative arcs and just be himself

@TowerGas Seen it! I'll get you an answer, if I can ... first I have to watch my own documentary (it's been a while). Thank you for making contact/making it through my defences

[Tim Rayment @TimRayment]

@lordpriory Very interested to hear this, although I'm sorry to have triggered a trauma. I've given you a follow ... please feel free to say more in public (this thread) or private (DM), and thank you for reacting to the documentary. All best, from Tim

@PropJoshD @Markos_mom Thank you both for this conversation. Would an annual limit on account purchases help? The most toxic flow would go to firms in a late stage of the prop firm life cycle, who can't afford to turn anyone away. Their demise is hastened. Fitter firms make sustainability their sell.

@samuraipips358 Yumi, who reads the audiobooks? You, AI or another?

You are changing lives with your posts on X. I’d love to hear such wisdom in a human voice.

@DianeSwonk Wonderful metaphor from an outstanding economist who may not be able to comment on politics directly

[Diane Swonk @DianeSwonk]

I spend a week each summer in off-the-record meetings with economists from around the world. The group has been in existence since 1937; the only break was during WWII. The meetings are Chatham House rules, which means I can’t quote anyone verbatim but can share what I gleaned from our deliberations.

Virus slipstream: stay 10m (two SUVs) behind a runner or cyclist in still air, 5m behind a fast walker and perhaps hold your breath if one crosses your path. Not peer-reviewed but still life-saving science from @BertBlocken https://t.co/nB8eQLh08T @doctorcaldwell

What happened next when Glasgow decided that 90% of school exclusions are unnecessary? Part of a superb investigation by @cohenstandard https://t.co/Lp1UAacTl5

Is Dominic Cummings a visionary or a fool? ⁦@harrytlambert⁩ fails to answer his own question but still delivers gripping glimpses of the mind that dominates No. 10 https://t.co/IzV07YybPJ

I was encouraged by my editor @CulikOf to share my experiences from living in Brexit Britain over last year:

Don't see it as some guy moaning. Consider it to be a case study and think about all those people who have it much worse than me...

@vango What are the exterior dimensions of the Illusion TC 800XL please? Some campsites have a maximum. I can find the packed size, but not the footprint when being used. Thank you...

One journalist. Thousands of documents. Court orders that control what the public is told. This is what a two-year investigation looks like https://t.co/4dr4FW1ccg

@_samgrossman Sam, I have a message for you from a reader -- please follow, and I'll DM. Thanks!

Unimprovable letter to ⁦@PrivateEyeNews⁩, apparently from the “Trouble with Wyrms” writer Mike Williams

[Sheet Music UK @StGsMusic]

A wonderful column in today's @sundaytimes by @timrayment, proclaiming the joys of going back to playing an instrument in adulthood. We meet lots like him & pray that today's children will have something to go back to in later life. Are you listening @DamianHinds & @MattHancock?
