There are too many guns in Hollywood

The tree sang stories into our bones — now it is silence.

This happened in Manchester in 1987. The Burley Tree (Hulme) was cut down so a hotel could be built. No hotel was ever built. There is a monument to the tree on the wasteland that is left. Where is Swampy when you need him?

Toby Carvery admits felling ancient Whitewebbs oak tree The owner of the pub chain falsely claimed the tree was dead as justification for the felling which has shocked local people and prompted outrage from conservationists across the country

This is bloody awful from Toby Carvery, who have deliberately felled a 500 year old oak in Enfield. It goes together with the wider redevelopment of a very ecologically sensitive area to make a football ground for Tottenham.

Again, these are not the right priorities folks.

In 1987 a giant tree in Hulme Manchester - The Birley Tree - was cut down so a company could build a hotel. There is no hotel, only a piece of derelict land and a small memorial to the tree.

Volatility surging as markets globally plunge. Forced selling, margin calls, and fear dominate. Watch central bank moves. We could see 10%+ drop soon unless immediate liquidity steps are taken. #markets #globalcrisis #stockdrop

NYSE closes –5%, global markets tanking, delta hedging kicking in hard. Liquidity vanishing, vol spiking. If no coordinated action by CBs or govts, tomorrow could open in full panic mode. This is systemic. Act fast. #markets #crash #NYSE

US markets down 5% with 30 mins to close. Dealers will be forced to delta hedge into the drop. Risk of a feedback loop + flash crash is real. Everyone with exposure: stay calm, reduce leverage, and watch liquidity.

Every bike I have owned since my first Vindec Minor at the age of 11, I have named - it was called Jupiter. My current bike is called Silver Fox. The one before that was called Leonard (after a a guy who helped me with getting it) and before that Florence. I miss Florence.

I learned a new word:
Thagomizer: The spikes at the end of a Stegosaurus's tail. In Gary Larson's 1982 The Far Side comic strip a caveman lecturer refers "The thagomizer," in honor of "The late Thag Simmons," a victim of said spikes.
Paleontologists now use the word in literature

I was asked to explain why it is better to put money in a bank than keep it under the bed.
I think this works.
