You are not “limiting withdrawals” if you don’t pay out more than the threshold you established. If retail clients thought they were in a liquid vehicle this is a marketing issue.
HPS out here sticking to the terms they offered

Nor today. It’s not an asset liability mismatch, you just don’t like the terms you signed up to. If you add 1) 5% quarterly redemptions and 2) required dividends you are quickly getting to a 20-30% annual payout from private BDCs.
At some point the FT will stop mischaracterising the Blue Owl liquidity situation. Today is not that day.
Bigger. Problem. Than. Anticipated.
The first verified Shahed Drone attack on Ukraine was 1,270 days ago.
Ukrainian numbers put the number of Shahed strike UAVs launched at them last year alone at over 32,000.
Your brain, is it... not good? Do you have the bad brain? Sir? Sir?

Hi everyone! My name is Andrea LaFlamme and I'm running to unseat Susan Collins in the US Senate. I'm a feminist public health professor and the ONLY candidate in this race who has worked in education, municipal health, and as an elected union leader. (1/2)
The U.S. made this class of stunningly stupid, pudding-soft MAGA parasites who have managed to move through life without ever encountering genuinely meaningful pushback. This led them to starting this wildly dangerous war in Iran - and looks like their reality distortion field is no longer working.
Strategy is fundamentally all about developing a sophisticated theory of the mind of one’s opponent.
With MAGA’s Iran Adventure, guess we’re going to see what a modern war almost totally devoid of anything we’d call “strategy” looks like.
“MAGA’s fundamental shared quality is a total lack of theory of mind for other people” is a theory that keeps getting validated by reality - look at almost every decision they’ve made in the war with Iran, and how they seem constantly surprised by the unanticipated actions of other parties.
10 more days for an enterprising Maine Democrat to collect 2,000 signatures and give themselves a shot at sending Chuck Schumer's favorite septuagenarian, Ryan Grim & MattY's favorite Nazi tattoo guy, and Susan Collins to the exits:

As Rachel points out on her Instagram, notice that the guy at the front has a Totenkopf on his quarter zip.
That's why Maine Democrats should not let anyone displaying Nazi symbols near the United States Senate
They're certainly not even trying to hide their views.
Who looks at the biggest losers of the 20th century and goes "hell yeah that turned out great" ?
Even wearing the pin is illegal in Germany & Austria.
Stay safe out there Rachel! You are a very important journalist for Canadians.
Hey, we know that guy

Tonight, two of the white nationalists I reported on in this piece showed up to attempt to intimidate me on a private night out at a small music venue.
I’ll have more to say tomorrow. I’m safe.
They also didn’t pay cover 🖕
If Charles Dickens were alive today it’s the sort of line that would be in one of his treasured novels

Westminster Meeting House raided by Metropolitan Police again. Statement: “For Quakers, faith and action are inseparable. Peaceful protest, prayer and nonviolent action are integral parts of many Quakers' religious life. Whilst we take the planning of criminal acts very seriously, we believe that this incident is a deliberate targeting of committed young people who want to make our country a more equitable place. This raid is part of a systematic stifling of dissent. That this is the second time in a year that the police have raided our meeting house dramatically illuminates the broader trend in the UK of cracking down on those who disagree with the government. The right to protest is fundamental to our democracy. It's a key part of how people make their voices heard between elections.” – Oliver Robertson, Head of Witness and Worship Quakers in Britain, 5 March 2026
Yesterday evening, for the second time in a year, the Met Police raided Westminster Quaker Meeting House and arrested a number of young nonviolent activists.

Ah ah ah! WHITE empires are good. Those Mongols, Persians, and Abbasids? Their empires were bad.
History is just about how evildoers toppled those great empires, clearly
Empire = good. Now why would a white British historian think such a thing?
“Vikings, Rus, Magyars, Muslims, Picts, Saxons, Angles” is a hell of a list. Wrong in so many ways.
“Muslims, and scores of lesser tribes”!
ALSO: one of the points @profgabriele.com makes every time we talk about Oathbreakers is the rhetorical work Charlemagne as “good” does in this narrative. You can see it perfectly in this review.
There are a lot of people using dark ages/fall of Rome narratives to support anti-immigrant movements today. Which does seem to push historians to do more rather than less.
I’d like people to notice is how the reviewer and the introduction uses a multi-century movement of peoples to support today’s anti-immigrant argument in Britain.
However you characterize movement from 200-600, it ain’t anything like anything modern. Because FOUR HUNDRED YEARS
“The ‘Dark Ages’,” Haywood writes, “has become a byword for ignorance, brutality and squalor.” He objects to that generalisation but then goes on to show that many areas were indeed dark. After Rome fell, the threads that held society together began to break. Across the old empire, splendid buildings were abandoned and knowledge of Latin waned. Violence took the place of governance. It is interesting to note that the Visigoths ruled the Iberian peninsula from 418 to 631 but left almost no cultural mark on the region.
come the fuck on, man. do you think Rome and Greece were not violent? do you think languages wouldn't change across 1000 years and (at least) 3 continents?
