Compare the EU w US:
Nine countries have applied to join the EU, another six are actively negotiating to apply.
Meanwhile, Canada is actively decoupling its economy from the US

Everything these guys touch turns to stinking ashes. Augmented reality has so much potential, and they want to do this with it.

Don't pay them any attention. Rescued my cat off the street 17 years ago, he's very happy living in an apartment where he doesn't meet other cats. Doing "cat things" is sleeping all day on the windowsills; sleeping all night on the end of the bed; sleeping on my lap in between + snacking on crackers

Disaster capitalism spelled out in the Epstein files. They know exactly what they are doing and they intend to profit from it.

Variations on beans, bacon, eggs.

My preference: plain haricot beans, scrambled eggs, Roquefort cheese because it melts into a sauce.

Bear in mind that none of this has anything to do with Epstein's sex crimes. Peter Mandelson is going down because of Epstein's connections with Putin.

@katie0martin.ft.com Happy birthday Katie. Appreciate the perspective you bring to the Unhedged podcast and the FT in general. Makes me happy to subscribe. And thanks for bringing the donkey into the room.
Many happy returns.

Intense engineering school workloads force students to learn how to collaborate. Teamwork trumps technical expertise which can be replaced, or even be made redundant.

Context matters. Jack Smith's testimony to Congress carries weight as evidence .
What's emerging from the Epstein files warrants extensive forensic investigation. It's going to take years.

- Liverpool is used as a locus of chaos like Cyprus in Othello .
- worth reading Wuthering Heights alongside Faulkner's Absolom Absolom; compare & contrast Heathcliff (agent of chaos) with Charles Bon (Person of Colour as agent of reckoning)

Heathcliff comes into the Earnshaw fam an orphan without a past. BrontΓ«'s H could be PoC, but it could also be 'Black' Irish (Mediterranean/Celtic) or Traveller, or maybe just different. What's significant is that Hindly's projection of hateful otherness onto Heathcliff is repaid with destruction.

- Epstein was Putin's wealth manager.
- Renaissance Technologies kept their doors open to Epstein.
- Renaissance Technologies were far and away the greatest donors to Trump's 2016 campaign.

I subscribe to 2 daily newspapers' digital editions, and a few journals. Very happy with the quality of news I get.

The FT article about Epstein's relationship with Kathy Ruemmler is revealing. The signalling in his choice of gifts.

Epstein was able to claim a lot of attention from people he emailed, texted, and socialised with because he was Putin's wealth manager.
