not the best way to run the world’s largest capital market, imo

Not knowing what the worst people in the world were thinking every fucking day

I write a monthly FinReg report and for Europe and Asia there’s always a bunch of consultations and final rules.

Then I get to the US and it’s basically some highly dubious non-binding guidelines written on a cocktail napkin

With the UK’s crypto regulatory framework more or less set, that leaves the US as the only major jurisdiction outstanding.

It’s also the industry’s last best hope for a needlessly favourable crypto regime

TL;DR version- the FCA continues to mostly regulate crypto like any other financial activity

FCA consults on guidance on UK’s future crypto regime Crypto will be regulated in the UK from October 2027. The FCA is finalising the wider cryptoasset regime, with rules to be published this summer. Parliament has now confirmed which cryptoasset activit...

ICYMI the FCA published another crypto consultation last week www.fca.org.uk/news/press-r...

Ah, well. Nevertheless

Look, I’m just saying “SBF’s favorite AI company” is a bit of a red flag

I will never understand how Microsoft, of all companies, didn’t back the AI company with an enterprise strategy

Huh. There are Sunflower State ultras on this website?

As in lose the formal senate vote

When was the last time a presidential nominee was rejected by the Senate? Bork?

Nope. Just took a look, very promising

Between this and forgetting to feed the troops, we’re like 7 months away from a scurvy outbreak in the US navy

Second? This is desert storm erasure

Why are respected film-makers suddenly embracing AI? From Soderbergh to Aronofsky, esteemed Hollywood directors are starting to find ways to include artificial intelligence in the production of their films

Same reason previous generations of directors embraced CGI, Green screens, etc? www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ap...

US Fair Lending Enforcement Curbed Under Trump CFPB’s Final Rule The Trump administration’s CFPB finalized a rule rolling back fair lending enforcement by eliminating a tool used to weed out unintended bias and making it harder to bring claims that lenders discoura...

The CFPB is set to release its final rule gutting fair lending enforcement tomorrow (it's in the Federal Register's Public Inspection file today). The rule eliminates the use of disparate impact and otherwise implements a November proposal. news.bloomberglaw.com/banking-law/...

We are about a week past Sam Bankman-Fried's deadline to declare who has been helping him write his “pro se” briefs. No filing has appeared on PACER.

some thoughts on cinema

Have you seen my take on Three Men and a Baby?

My DART carriage is full of teens and their cheery youthful enthusiasm is exhausting

Have Daniel Kinahan and Donald Trump Junior ever been seen in the same place together?

Tech bros who think remote working is bad earnestly support UBI.

Yeah, especially for work stuff.

I feel like somewhere else flirted with this but backed out for this very reason

The best part of Trump’s Tim Apple post is that it reads like eulogy

Online abuse of politicians is a profitable business Senator Eileen Flynn's comments on far-right use of the tricolour have made her a lightning rod for online abuse - because viral hatred is highly profitable

In the space of a few weeks in 2025, Simon Harris required armed gardaí at his family home due to multiple bomb threats, while former taoiseach Leo Varadkar was subjected to a homophobic tirade by a self-styled citizen journalist who filmed the confrontation for social media. A man is due before the courts in July in connection with an alleged assault on Mary Lou McDonald and two canvassers the day before the presidential election last year. The incident was filmed and went viral online. So, last week when a video of Senator Eileen Flynn speaking about racism and nationalist propaganda went viral, a predictable and inevitable online pile on began, with posts attacking Flynn's "patriotism" or perceived

Much of the abuse directed at Ms Flynn came from Irish accounts run by people who benefit from algorithmically amplification (so called blue tick accounts), and content monetisation. Monetisation is now a commonplace feature on social media platforms like X/Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, that allows the company to "share" revenue. The more attention (likes, shares, comments etc) a post gets, the more revenue a user earns. Influencers also often have accounts on three or four platforms and post dozens of times a day, and can also benefit from tips, and paid subscribers so it is difficult to gauge how much they earn, but a single viral post on X can generate over €300 for an influencer, so this can become a quite lucrative activity for not a lot of work. Power

The abuse directed at Ms Flynn did not only come from Irish accounts; international social media influencers whose attention was already on Ireland since the fuel protests latched onto it too. Defiant Ls, an account run by a Macedonian influencer who promotes Maga content shared the video, as did the account LibsofTikTok, with the caption, 'Irish Senator Eileen Flynn says that she is "terrified" to see her nation's flag and thinks it's "disgraceful" to fly it', received more than 250,000 views and over 1,300 comments, mostly abusive. LibsOfTikTok has nearly five million fans and the account is run by Chaya Raichik, a right wing influencer who has previously targeted schools, hospitals and libraries across the United States. Victims of her attention have gone to be inundated with threats of violence.

I have a piece in the Examiner today on how content monetisation is fuelling a new wave of online harassment

Irish influencers with monetised accounts are mimicking the behaviour of people like Chaya Raichik, the owner of LibsOfTikTok, who has turned online abuse & harassment into a business model.

Yeah, it’s like all the WhatsApp use by UK politicians, while the FCA was issuing billions in fines for firms used unofficial comms channels
