He demanded that she send him nude pictures and bullied her into a relationship. This is called sexual harassment. It was not β€œan affair”. RESIGN NOW.

Working on a big deep dive for tomorrow - on how the situation in the Middle East could affect the US market and global geopolitics, and just learned this:

Qatar owns roughly 10 million square feet in Manhattan, including the Plaza Hotel, St. Regis, and a 10% stake in the Empire State Building.

Trump’s War on Iran Could Screw Over US Farmers The Middle East supplies a huge amount of the world’s fertilizer. Conflict in the region has sent prices soaring ahead of the critical spring planting season.

there's a lot going on right now but did you know a massive amount of the world's fertilizer flows through the middle east, and did you know that that fertilizer needs to be shipped to the us *right now* for planting season, and uh did you know we are at war with iran

I don’t disagree with you but would say that the complexity of this is clearly beyond our current ability to model. That’s no one’s fault, but we need to strive to do better.

Failing to act on the best available information however…that should be criminal rather than just profitable.

America Needs to Prepare for Elon Musk Like He's a State-Sponsored Cyber Attack His anti-virtue approach: scramble, divide, conquer.

America Needs to Prepare for Elon Musk Like He's a State-Sponsored Cyber Attack

Aristotle’s concept of virtue wasn’t about being nice. It was about the idea that a good society requires citizens, and especially leaders, oriented toward the common good. Musk is the precise inversion of this.

Most Reform members believe non-white UK citizens born abroad should be forced or encouraged to leave, poll finds Nigel Farage’s attempts to appeal to centre-ground voters may cause tension in his party, according to Hope Not Hate

More than half of Reform UK members believe non-white British citizens born abroad should be deported or encouraged to leave.

No different to the old BNP or National Front voters.

Interesting to see Tehran was obscured prior to the strikes and not since. But reading the FAQ it seems β€œnot since” will be due to no readings/reporting aircraft above Iran.

GB News are now bringing Restore Britain on to the channel to tell their own black British presenter, born in Newcastle, she is not British - and it is "ridiculous" to define being British in a way that includes black people.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

Well, looking back, this was quite a moment, wasn't it?

Two years later, we have seen the Israeli military continue to use famine as a weapon of warβ€”even during the ceasefire, blocking aid trucks from delivering life saving aid in full, only allowing a small fraction in. Leaving Palestinian families unable to access food and life saving medications.
