A lot of people in Singapore held funds in FTX because Binance is banned here.

Sad and ironic.

"Green capitalism" means turning the global South into a giant sacrifice zone so rich folks in the US and Europe can drive electric SUVs.

This is a whopper. The idea of Presto was ten years out of date before it was commissioned, (open payments was the future), was incredibly expensive and now sole sourced 1/2 Billion extension? No wonder it was announced when everyone’s eyes are on Covid restrictions.

Palestinian food workers, who are employed in one of the Jewish settlements in the West bank, created this banner to show their solidarity with Kellogg's workers on strike.
Thanks to our friends @LaborStartUSA for sharing this message of global solidarity! #KelloggStrike

DOPESICK.

More humans between 18 - 45 died last year of fentanyl overdoses than COVID, car accidents, breast cancer + suicide.

CHINA is the primary source of fentanyl.

It’s impact is even worse than the Sacklers + Oxy.

THREAD: We looked at UP Diliman's fascinating "Radical Papers": a collection of books, pamphlets and other docs critical of Ferdinand Marcos which were hidden by UP Main Library until 1996.

Under martial law, these were considered subversive by the govt. https://t.co/8jneqfOGm7

Podcast alert: essential listen. @DFisman has been the most accurate of all the Infectious Disease docs in Canada since the start of the pandemic. Worth a #followfriday as well, if for some crazy reason you aren't already. https://t.co/bvvPwHcGih

A good friend of mine shared this simple, yet powerful take on this very interesting development: "We now have the rare opportunity to finally end 3 oppressive empires (Marcos, Duterte, Arroyo) with just one shot in 2022."

In case there is any doubt that plunging auto output is due to chip shortages: Li Auto reportedly bought black market chips for 800 times their normal price. The hybrid maker had ramping up sales, but slashed Sept. output - and with some missing radar.

Experts disagree over the likelihood of a Chinese invasion, but most agree the modernization of the People’s Liberation Army has given China’s leader, Xi Jinping, a greater military capability than ever to carry out the task. That could tip the political decision in Beijing.

The United States, which has acted as Taiwan’s security guarantor for decades, has watched its military advantage in Asia erode. In war games at the Pentagon, the American teams are no longer certain to prevail in a simulated defense of the island.
