There could have been so much more to add about the history of the ESF... Tokenised link: www.centralbanking.com/central-bank...

My 8500-word piece on the state of global swap and repo lines is out! Ft. @rajakorman.bsky.social and many others - not sure if they're on Bluesky or not. www.centralbanking.com/central-bank...

It’s that time of the year again.

I went out last night. Happy to report that news of London's nightlife facing imminent doom are overstated: had a superb time dancing, spent a tenner on lime sodas and watched two middle-aged bald men with facial hair get into a fight over which one of them looked more like Johnny Sins.

We need AI for... milk tea and better washing machines

One former MNB governor chimes in.

Definitely feeling more FOMO over missing the London performances but his 2016 gig in Madrid remains my favourite concert experience forever

I feel like I haven’t seen enough discourse about Paul Simon’s new live record from earlier this month. Two hours with a 33’ rendition of Seven Psalms! How excellent

Thinking about @jvtk.bsky.social today

Really enjoyed this new paper from @florencedafe.bsky.social - a cool, unique perspective on why Nigeria introduced a CBDC www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

no please we don't want them (the camdenians)

The Fed transcript generator turning Hormuz into "whore moose" will never not be funny

The ‘Kirkiversary’ vs 9/11 split in discourse is fascinating to observe

www.ft.com/content/239d... It's not tech or tracking that will solve this issue but outlawing time-based pricing and introducing distance-based fares instead. The current business model incentivises getting from point A to point B as fast as possible!

Is the City going through a Covid outbreak or is the fact that all Boots have sold out of tests a symptom of a supply issue? @londoncentric.media

The ECB vibecoded a live reddit sentiment analysis tool. It's super fun dashboard.r-risi.workers.dev#/overview

This but with £6 for a Guinness zero. Yeah no thanks.

This is Metternich?

There’s an energy shortage in Hungary - interesting to watch how the new govt is dealing with it.

This and the FT signalboosting a McKinsey report highlighting the excesses of financialisation make me think that this is an insane timeline

climate policy

really considering cycling to Paris this weekend

Glad to have my hands on a physical (review) copy of @robinwigglesworth.ft.com ‘s new book. Plasticbacks are all the rage I hear…

The trip was going well until my Eurostar caught on fire and we had to be evacuated, then checked in again in Lille. Back in London three and a half hours late.

Ok fine some more. I saw some guys with a Super 8 and I had to grab a photo for @m-kamilla.bsky.social. I has a great kebab on a train. I had an even better cardamom bun off the train. I also cycled through wet pine forests and ate headwind for breakfast.

Anyway. I told myself I wouldn’t read the news for two weeks. It’s been great.

This adjective adds nothing of substance to the paragraph.

"compute equals power" I can't

"so much of the magic I get out of AI is because I already love learning" so much of the magic I get out of stabbing myself repeatedly is because I love swords

"when I fly from north carolina to california for my job I talk to chatgpt every part of the way" great. amazing. incredible.

why did it take until the fourth question and finally from Andrew Bailey to push back on the slop from this man

"If we get to AGI, do you think there will be a significant improvement in productivity?" how about we get there first

Imagine being the ECB's chief economist, having 45 minutes with OpenAI's chief economist and your first question not being "so what is your plan to profitability?"

Crossing London tonight is certainly an experience

As I continue my mission to civilise, I have taken it on myself to call people out who e-mail me with AI-composed text. You're welcome.

Proud to have awarded Jerome Powell Governor of the Year. @centralbanking.bsky.social

A friend has built a service to be able to read his Twitter timeline in print, and he’s expanded it to Bluesky too. Sign up here if you’re interested. birdpost.co.uk

Just saw a racer take a shoe off around mile 8 of the Hackney Half, do a shoey and continue running. The death of the global citizen is greatly exaggerated

New collector coin from the @bportugal.pt to commemorate the World Cup has the organiser countries listed in alphabetical order - so the USA is last. Odds that Portugal will get 200% tariffs when Trump finds out?

One of our new reporters, Enes, wrote a fantastic feature on the events in Colombia. It's definitely worth a read.

It’s the most Bluesky thing that’s ever happened: Comment is Freed x London Centric local elections prediction collab just dropped. www.londoncentric.media/p/london-loc...
