There is so much market manipulation going on in this administration.

@skyview.social pls unroll

We are at the very stupid stage of the AI bubble where investors and boards are demanding every company on earth announce an AI strategy immediately and without the slightest bit of thought.

Das ist ja lieb, aber ich reiche da die Frage von Ulrich Ladurner aus @zeit.de an @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu weiter: „Wie war es überhaupt möglich, dass die EU in ihrer Gesamtheit es zugelassen hat, dass in ihrem Kreis, direkt unter ihren Augen, Orbán eine autoritäre Regierung errichten konnte?“

Bravo Hungary! #democracy

Yes but only small ones and not adequately powered

There are no electric tractors

A US administration full of men who desperately needed just one firm hug from dad throw a furious tantrum at being gently chided by the Holy Father.

The loud aggressive litigant pulls the case and pays indemnity costs to the other party, and enters into a compromise which leaves the other party far better off than before the case was brought.

Bullying and boasting, but based on blundering and bombast.

International law?? Give me a break. Don't dare use it in this selective & cowardly manner. This only further undermines it. As a #European, I am ashamed. No political courage nor leadership. Just cowardice. No mention of all the international law breaches by #US and #Israel that have in this mess.

But behind the scenes, Israeli officials have conveyed a more targeted message. In private calls to local leaders across southern Lebanon, Israeli military officials have assured several Christian and Druse communities that they could remain in the evacuation zone. They have pressed them, however, to force out any Lebanese from neighboring Shiite Muslim communities who have sought refuge among them as Israeli bombardment flatten Shiite towns, according to local Christian, Druse and Shiite leaders who spoke to The New York Times. The Shiites make up the majority of southern Lebanon.

So what this describes is ethnic cleansing www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/w...

Sam, I value your writing but in this piece, beyond pointing out that ‘…this isn’t the first time Israel has occupied Gaza..’ it’s tragically remiss to not state why this time is different. The Israeli government has & still is committing genocide. You must amend or this piece is worth nothing.

Do you know Banks donated £8m to Leave EU, the highest ever political donation at the time?

Is it any wonder our media ecosystem is such a mess? The guy in charge of the supposedly impartial watchdog is slagging off the BBC to the right wing Telegraph - which is hostile to the BBC - & defending the fact his organisation has let GB News act share misinformation and constantly promote Reform

What is Mark Rutte smoking? The Nato secretary-general should remember that it’s resolve that causes Trump to back down, not obeisance

The last few years have exposed a critical reality about American tech oligarchs:

They are not merely greedy opportunists seeking profit.

Many are dangerous, out-of-touch extremists who possess massive, unchecked power and absolutely no capacity for introspection

Sort of wish a lot of commentators would drop the snark about Trump and Hegseth threatening to commit what are in effect war crimes because we are probably heading to outcomes shaped by their willingness to commit war crimes

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.

A truly extraordinary moment.

We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

Act like it.

The problem with the Iranian regime strategy is that it doesn't seem to have any other options available for scenarios where an oil price spike does not stop US and Israeli attacks.

Market actors might be making the same mistake.
