Fuck you, I will do what you tell me.
FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
Yahtzee, ever-pithy.
Film: Excalibur (John Boorman, 1981)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excalib...
Manages to have a mystical, tragic feel to it. Far better than anything containing Richard Gere.
Think I saw Monty Python and the Holy Grail already, which is good, but not played straight of course.
More similarity there to John Prescott, if you'll permit a deputy PM.
"Then there was the Dumbasses' Crusade. Sorry, Parade."
Shouldn't denigrate too much, these crusaders could be even more effective than the Fourth.
Khomeini was not Khamenei. Different ayatollahs.
Khamenei was the one just killed and was in favour of nukes. That doesn't make any of what US is doing fine or smart.
"We're not so much 'veering' as charging full steam ahead."
There's a street near where I work - Strutton Ground in Westminster - which is pedestrianised with different food stalls down the middle and cafes and restaurants down the sides. Food from all over the planet available for your lunch.
Greek, Thai or Lebanese today? Cities are great.
A boring substack in which I demonstrate how crypto treasury companies are machines for automatically funneling money to the people who set them up, almost regardless of what the stock or cryptocurrency does

Remember, it's "Department of War" now.
The pathetic numbskulls.
Sounds like a late-career Steven Seagal effort.
Sorry, the stock market's a poor barometer for the economy. Too many unrelated factors affect stock prices.
GDP is not perfect, but it's right there, actually created to measure how the economy's doing if you want to know.
Also, the US dollar's fallen around 10% vs other countries' currencies in that time.
So you've made pretty much zip in US stocks in that time if you factor currency movements.
Starmer's supposed to have refused Trump permission to use UK bases like Diego Garcia.
Speculation that's why Trump was sniping about the UK deal to hand over the Chagos Islands as "stupid".

I see the winner of the FIFA Peace Prize is at it again, doing more peace and stopping more wars.
Oh.
Get Infantino out of FIFA. Football deserves better than this ghoulish, obsequious, evil little toad of a man. He represents everything that's wrong about the game and the world.
I remain very fucking happy that we (Danny Fiszman, Peter Hill-Wood, Nina Bracewell-Smith, actually) didn't let Alisher Usmanov buy the club, as Dein wanted.
Usmanov now sanctioned by UK, EU US and Ukraine as a Putinist oligarch.
Was nauseated by David Dein making an unalloyed defence of Fifa and Gianni Infantino in particular on Radio4's Today programme last Thursday.
Link, section starts just after 2:27 if you want to be angry. Why sucking up to corrupt autocrats is good, actually:

Useful post with useful model. Being great at something that's collapsing in price doesn't necessarily advantage you
One of the great things about British elections, all the candidates up on stage to hear the returning officer call out the result.
I imagine they're claiming that muslims voting for Greens instead of Reform - the party that's demonised continuously - proves the *Greens* are divisive.
Would be laughable if it weren't so disgusting.
If you've an hour and a half or so, Interstella 5555, Daft Punk's 2003 animated film (the songs). Maybe it'll help:

Foyle's War?
Detective in WWII?
how do we "measure" patriarchy? this is especially thorny because of how much people are invested in mystifying and defending it--so e.g. "this culture LOVED women! therefore it can't be patriarchal!" evans, like myself, circles back to what we can measure:
violence.
Confirmed: is badass.
The first human step on another world.
It's not the refs, it's the fact Spurs stadium has been built on ancient hopes and dreams burial site so wifi doesn't work in that corner
I've always said that if the Scots want independence they should have it, on condition they take the royal family back with them.
Another vote here for "Watching the English".

A great article, and an important warning:
“A big psychological block for some European intelligence services was that they believed Putin to be a largely rational actor, and were deeply sceptical that he would embark on a plan they felt was likely to fail.”
