we're testing a new beta version of the Notifications tab! it has new tabs to help you notice priority notifications, and it uses new grouping logic to reduce noise (e.g. when one person likes a bunch of your posts). disclaimer: it's a beta, not a final version. send us your feedback! :)

An FT email last week said something along the lines of 'maybe we should be more worried about Restore - after all, the bookies have them at surprisingly short odds in the next election', and with the best will in the world, this is because a lot of fascists spend a lot of money on very stupid bets.

Friendly reminder for anyone that ever links to Slok. Doesn't necessarily make him wrong, but at least understand who you're pointing to in order to confirm your priors.

"the article" in this case is marketing copy for Apollo Global, one of the world's largest private equity firms. just to be clear about what you're pointing to gleefully. If I used the same source to argue that the economy was doing great, how would you treat it?

sorry, but it's very hard to take your warnings of existential risk seriously when you are simultaneously throwing up to $120 billion at Elon Musk

We welcome ambition from @andyburnham.bsky.social to get everyone off the streets. But everyone must mean *everyone*. To end rough sleeping, Govt must tackle the immigration policies that lock migrants out of the safety net and make it harder to stay off the streets www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The idea that various hedge funds are paying $100k a month for early access to this amuses me to no end!

Just for European observers focused on Serbia tonight and maybe glancing over to Brazil, perhaps the wildest developments next week might be in Venezuela

Lula is to my left. Magyar is to my right. And I don’t care in the slightest, because they are the candidates of democracy against autocracy.

"We’re determined to put Oxford Street not just on par with top global shopping destinations like Times Square..." right then

If you had told me at any point in Lula's 1st or 2nd term not only that I would be rooting for him in the future ... but also that I'd be rooting for his *4th* term, when he's *80*, after multiple corruption convictions... and that I would think it was of *urgent global importance* for him to win...

" Revolving door migration where people would come + then go back is different. The balance of migration has changed, hasn’t it, since then? ... “It was generally younger people, not always, but spending a few years, then going back. And obviously the ease of that worked for British people as well"

Obviously all of these American and European far-right influencers were brought in by the Serbian regime ahead of the country’s parliamentary elections on Sunday. But who actually directed the operation, and how much these individuals were paid, is still worth investigating.
