If you walked up to Mike Tyson in a bar and punched him in the face, I doubt ‘you can’t hit back because I’m so puny!’ would save you from consequences.
Same on X. If you want to punch me in public but don’t want to risk a brain injury in return, stick to your own weight class.
With the return of Meghan Markle & Prince Harry to the UK, there is no video to watch other than this one.
Britain is already suffering, they don’t deserve this.
NATO launched a huge aerial operation around Russian Kaliningrad this morning involving multiple reconnaissance aircraft and many fighter jets.
Russia in recent days has moved hypersonic capable warships and many military shipments into the Baltic possibly drone shipments.
Elon Musk vient de faire un joli pied-de-nez à l'UE.
L'UE a condamné X à 120 millions € d'amende pour manque de transparence sur son algorithme.
X publie désormais son algorithme sur GitHub, avec une mise à jour toutes les 4 semaines.
Mais ce n'est pas tout :
X va aussi rendre publiques TOUTES les demandes de censure émanant des gouvernements, dont celles de l'UE (qui semble clairement en abuser).
La pression réglementaire européenne a peut-être produit plus de transparence que prévu...
Juste pas exactement de la façon dont Bruxelles l'imaginait. 😏
The UK ten-year yield is 5.02% this morning. Has anybody seen BBC economics editor Faisal Islam as he used to be very concerned about (much lower) bond yields?
We spent a few days in Kraków, Poland.
What a fantastic city, so vibrant, culturally rich, clean, safe, diverse, and offering endless food choices, from after-party hot sausage sold from a truck at the riverfront at 2am to Michelin-starred restaurants.
Poland is so awesome.
🕺 77 is no reason to leave the dance floor: billionaire Ray Dalio partied in Ibiza until 4 a.m.
The Bridgewater Associates founder celebrated his birthday at UNVRS nightclub and later wrote on X that he had “a blast.”
Dalio ranks 120th among the world’s richest people. Retirement can wait.
@stevebiddle@AndrewNZ20 Steve, you’re right that 6,000 kg = 6 metric tons, but “metric ton” absolutely exists — it’s the US term for a 1,000 kg tonne. The article’s 1,000× error is the real issue.
An old lady handed her bank card to the bank teller and said, "I would like to withdraw $500."
The teller told her, "For withdrawals less than $2,000, please use the ATM."
The old lady wanted to know why?
The teller returned her bank card and irritably told her, "These are the rules. Please leave if there is no other matter. There is a line behind you."
The old lady remained silent for a few seconds, then handed the card back to the teller and said, "Please help me withdraw all the money I have."
The teller was astonished when she checked the account balance. She nodded her head, leaned down and respectfully told her, "My apologies Ma'am, you have $35M in your account and our bank doesn't have that much cash currently. Could you make an appointment and come again tomorrow?"
The old lady then asked how much she could withdraw immediately.
The teller told her any amount up to $250,000.
"Well, please let me have $250,000 now," she requested. The teller did so quickly, then handed it very friendly and respectfully to her elderly client.
The old lady put $500 in her bag and asked the teller to deposit the balance of $249,500 back into her account.
Don't be difficult with us old people, we spent a lifetime learning many skills.
