🇫🇷 Mbappé said it best: playing with Michael Olise makes everything easier.
30 assists already this season. From the streets to World Cup destroyer. There’s simply no one like him.

Moscow this morning.

I was thinking about something: as a result of the severe socio-economic consequences of this catastrophically failed war against Ukraine, Russia is facing a long and painful economic decline, social upheaval, massive disorganization, a huge rise in organized crime, and the shock of defeat -- the new 1990s after the collapse of the USSR.

And the most "amusing" part is that when the reckoning for this barbaric invasion of Ukraine finally comes, and the consequences of their deranged fascist regime in the Kremlin become apparent, Russians will once again be sighing and saying how good life was "under Putin" and how everything needs to be put back the way it was.

🚨Out today in @Nature our new paper uses deep learning to map four decades of global human migration.

By building the first comprehensive dataset of global annual flows (1990-2023), we reveal that migration has nearly tripled since 2000.

The prime-age labor market is stable, but the total employment-to-population ratio is falling rapidly.

Fewer workers would normally weaken income.

Today, that effect is increasingly offset by government transfer payments, funded by debt.

I honestly believe loads of people wouldn’t dislike Arsenal if they played good football - but as a neutral it’s hard to root for a team that launches bombs to their front man, adopts timewasting tactics and puts 11 men behind the ball.

They didn’t even TRY to play football tonight for 97% of the game.

Some of my favourite Prem players of all time have played for Arsenal - Cazorla, Bergkamp etc.

But I’m sorry, that was a little bit like watching Wrexham or Swindon 🤢

Best team won the trophy

Hey…@FPL_Harry

Can I have some FTs please?

This used to be my pinned Tweet. The blue line (GDP) generates income to service the debt in the red line (All Sector Debt). See the problem? It is just math.

His name is Amin Abdullah. He is the security guard who gave his life to protect the children and stop the terror attack at the Islamic Center of San Diego. This man died a hero, but should still be alive and would be if it weren’t for the rising hatred against Muslims. RIP.

Switzerland is the only country in the world with enough bunker capacity to shelter its entire population, with roughly 370,000 facilities equipped with air filtration systems, toilets, bunk beds, food and water supplies, and backup power sources.

Switzerland has upheld the principle of “a shelter for every inhabitant” since a 1963 federal law required that all residents have access to a protected space near their home. As of 2026, the country maintains around 370,000 shelters, offering more than 9 million total spaces—enough to cover over 100% of its permanent population. This makes Switzerland unique in having infrastructure capable of housing its entire population in the event of armed conflict or nuclear war.

These shelters are built to standardized specifications, typically featuring reinforced concrete structures, blast doors, and NBC (nuclear, biological, chemical) filtration systems to ensure breathable air during emergencies. While the law mandates essentials such as bunk beds, toilets, and water reserves, individuals are generally responsible for supplying food and medical provisions. In peacetime, many of these shelters are repurposed as storage areas, wine cellars, or laundry rooms, though regulations require they can be converted back into fully operational shelters within five days if ordered by the government.

Although Switzerland leads in total coverage, countries like Finland and Sweden also maintain substantial civil defense systems, with Finland capable of sheltering about 85% of its population. As of early 2026, Switzerland has invested roughly $1.2 billion to modernize its network, focusing on upgrading filtration systems and improving large public bunkers to keep the system effective against modern threats.

France is the only European country that turned nuclear generation into a structural competitive advantage. 57 reactors built between the 1970s and 1990s produce 70% of its electricity today. Wholesale power in France is currently around €52/MWh. In Germany, it runs €30-40/MWh higher. France is also the world's largest net exporter of electricity.

Even though the Berlin Wall fell decades ago, the divide between the two former sides is still visible from space because the streetlights use different types of light bulbs.

[Doug Thomson @wineduggery]

@FPL_TomHadley Agreed. Sigh.
