A good read explaining the roots of this… as always @guardian 👍🏿 @aiww @billmaher

[The Guardian Long Read @gdnlongread]

Once an obscure idea confined to the darker corners of the internet, the anti-Islam ideology is now visible in the everyday politics of the west. How did this happen?

7 mins on the Northern Ireland Protocol to start the day? It's the Brexit issue that is still refusing to resolve. And the UK government says it's now a matter of 'peace and security'.

A good read to factor in an outlier chance that more volatility will come before mid-terms and 🇺🇸 elections in 2024

Few things I agree on with @piersmorgan

[Piers Morgan Uncensored @PiersUncensored]

"We can’t defeat Putin the demon by demonising ordinary Russians."

Piers says it's wrong for Wimbledon to bar Russian tennis players from competing, saying: "It reeks of hypocrisy."

Roe v. Wade is based on the 'right to privacy.' If the majority opinion by SCOTUS suggests that the constitution does not protect the right to privacy... that affects a WHOLE lot of other decisions. Buckle up - this is the beginning of a lot of potential ugliness.
A thread.

Through the 2010s, investor Bill Hwang (via his hedge fund Archegos Capital) quietly built one of America's largest fortunes.

In March 2021, Archegos imploded and Hwang lost $20B in 2 days. Today, Feds charged him with fraud (manipulating markets).

Here's the insane story🧵

[The Mehdi Hasan Show @MehdiHasanShow]

“To smear ordinary gay Americans working in our schools as secret ‘groomers’ or as pedophiles is sick, is inexcusable, is outrageous,” @MehdiRHasan asserts in response to GOP efforts to revive decades-old, dangerous homophobic tropes to stoke a culture war.

Discussion should never be stopped irrespective of our feelings because real world politics is about discussing and arriving at mutually agreeable solutions.

"This has gone way beyond NATO membership now, isn't this just now Russian imperialism?"

On the @MehdiHasanShow, I pressed Columbia professor & ex-UN adviser Jeffrey Sachs on his op-ed pushing for a peace deal in Ukraine based on no NATO membership:

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Putin. Orban. Le Pen. We talk a lot in the West about the rise of far-right authoritarians & yet we never mention India's Narendra Modi and his BJP.

On the @MehdiHasanShow, I did a deep-dive into India under Modi & new warnings of an anti-Muslim genocide:

India today… hurtling towards a crisis of gigantic proportions in coming years. Not much is and will be said and yet ‘the west’ wonders why the global south is not with them in the current crisis in Europe @aiww @TheAtlantic @NPR @guardian @BBCBreaking

Excellent thread with caveats from the literature he cites. Studies using “agents”, either sims or theo, must make assumptions about agents. Typical wisdom of crowds” model (eg efficient mkt) assumes agents of ~equal size (one bet on bull wgt). Chg that and output chgs markedly…
