@Osinttechnical Is there any chance you can omit the musical soundtracks?

War is not a video game, it's not Hollywood, it doesn't star Tom Cruise or Sylvester Stallone and there's absolutely nothing glamorous about it.

@blaiklockBP You're going to upset the Catholics.

Have fun.

@PolemicTMM Give me one of those many different reason.

@WorldByWolf Do you propose forced insemination of white females?

[Kim Driver @KimDriver11]

@the_cn_investor Not if China can avoid it.

[Kim Driver @KimDriver11]

Yep.

Japan is now reopening its furloughed nuclear plants.

In the aftermath of Fukushima closure was almost inevitable, but they've tightened regulation and inspection and realise that they have absolutely no choice given the lack of domestically-controlled energy resources.

@DesiletsKerry @Landeur You would have to be legally resident in the UK.

@florianederer It's the World Cup.

The America's Cup is a yacht race.

@elonmusk Even if true, should it?

@Brad_Setser A long time ago, when I was in finance (sorry), I was not allowed to do anything in Italy because it was about to explode.

Henry Kissinger was on the board.....

Day 1 since Mamdani got elected, public schools in NYC are already teaching schoolchildren Arabic numerals

@wongmjane Chapeau!

@SamHLevey @dandolfa I think that PCE is about 70% of nominal GDP in the US and other rich developed economies?

Why not go all the way?

Would there be an advantage in targeting just household spending?

Davina Perrin smashed a blistering hundred off just 42 balls in The Hundred Eliminator 💯

It is the fastest in the women’s competition, shattering Tammy Beaumont’s 52-ball record from 2023 🔥

@PippaCrerar Hopefully it will be a bit more comfortable than Columbia.

@DominicCaddick @Frances_Coppola @NEF Not sure that the deferred asset approach taken in the US would work in the UK, where BoE is a consolidated subsidiary of HMT in the Whole of Government Accounts.

@bbctms Why is the bowler's economy in the Hundred scorecards reported as 6 x runs / balls?

Shouldn't it be (a) 5 x runs / balls (ie runs / set ) or (b) runs / balls since the bowler's completed effort is expressed as balls bowled and the match is 100 balls.

It's confusing!

@JoeTruzman While Israel thought it had Hamas contained in Gaza, did it want to defeat it? It was a useful enemy (strongman Netanyahu could use the latent threat when campaigning), and knew that Hamas would seek to frustrate any move to a two-state solution which also suited him.
