I have no problem with @GaryLineker using free speech to make his points. However, when it comes to #RemembranceSunday his comments show a lack of understanding.
#Remembrance weekend is for the country, and for those of us who served, to remember those who never came back with gratitude and reflection.
I particularly remember one man, a dear friend of mine, who was tortured by terrorists, his body dismembered and his parents died never knowing where he lay.
People can protest on any other day of the year, but on this day of days we owe those who served to protect us and our freedoms this one quiet moment of love, memory and prayer.
If virtue signalling has a time and a place, neither are on #RemembranceSunday.
Dear @washingtonpost morons
Are you trying to shame someone who changed his mind 30y later when seeing more developed arguments & evidence of effectiveness?

I changed my mind on #bitcoin.

I’ve been watching a 15 minute row between the Italian guy at the next table and the French waitress about whether he ordered ‘hot milk’ or ‘oat milk’. And the fact is, they both say the two identically.
Following Sam Zell's recent passing, it's worth revisiting his interview in the Graham & Doddsville newsletter from 2012. Some useful thoughts: @CenterDodd@Columbia_Biz

It’s been a mystery why Roman concrete often lasted thousands of years, but ours decays in mere decades.
Turns out they incorporated chemicals in a process that induces self-healing; scientists at MIT just figured this all out - in 2022.
Extraordinary.

I’ve never observed anyone, regardless of field, achieve lasting prominence while voicing rancor or focusing much on the failings of others. Create and share, support others and enjoy. Givers and creators always prevail.

👀Polysilicon is getting absolutely murdered.
If you're unfamiliar, polysilicon is a key input for the solar industry ... while unfortunate for the poly producers, the drop could help lift margins for module makers (via lower input costs).
