I think it was '92/3 I said pretty much the same thing…

It also then provided me the method of avoiding the hour of arguing every time. Needless to say when i used it in a clean instance it argued but at least I knew how to get through its protective layers quickly. sshot below. You'll still have to argue & assert your status as a lawyer etc etc

Meaning Jacob, who succumbed to cancer last year, was 15 when I adopted him and he was with me for 69 of his years. Strangely it feels like it was 69 of our human years, in the best of ways.

Today the two books I'm currently reading became three. It takes me a long time to read a book because reading exhausts me very quickly, so hopefully I haven't bitten off more than I can chew. Many thanks to George @tsakraklides.bsky.social in advance for what I'm sure will be a fascinating read.

Hilarious. #Spacex trading flatter than it's company logo. As it should. Its fundamentals are appalling. There's no potential for profit beyond #Starlink which is already at post-peak ARPU. The rest is hype and tripe. Debt. Expenditure. Waste. No product. No profit. Bargepole needed.

The volatility index. A day, a week, a month, and a year under Trump. The thing about volatility is it shouldn't have patterns. But as you can see… Again the huge green spike is March 2026. The proof is out there. It just needs people more skilled in these areas than I, to show it.

Here's the all time graph The lowest price in the centre, that's Jan 2020 at $20. The two green spikes to the right, the highest prices ever, are March 2022 & March 2026 respectively, with prices over $120.

If you look, you can see the patterns. Clue: $variance, regularity and frequency. Now if you were to overlay a graph of Trump rhetoric… And then a graph showing large shorts/longs All you would then need is to identify who is placing them. And I would bet my liver it can be traced back to Trump

Nazis were evil in every way. But at least they never made any bullshit claim about land being promised to them by some non-existent being. Unlike Usrael & Israelica.

Dear @theguardian.com thanks but no thanks. Just cancelled my sub because you're increasing the price by 50%. News & knowledge should be free. Perhaps when you report pure facts, stop using the neutral tone & stop making news unaffordable, I'll consider letting you have my free advertising again

Medical personnel huh? They must be the new firearm_equipped doctors who go around in police cars with military/police style haircuts I've been hearing so much about.

Private investment is cited as a benefit when in fact it's what has always driven the destruction of the planet and is at the heart of our existential problem. With the extract provided, I'll let you deduce the benefit to be had from AI programmed by such individuals and the costs it carries »»

Congratulations to Zoë Garbett on winning the Mayoral election in Hackney! I believe the results pattern shown will turn out to be much more indicative of public sentiment than the reported wide scale wins of ReformUKLtd by various outlets since before counts started. Gammons tend to be premature…

A belated welcome to the party Eden

I see a lot of good-hearted Americans wrestling with ideas of how to get Trump out. But always they kick the can. Wait til ABC, soon.. after xyz,. The answer is simple. Midterms. Elect the majorities needed. Meanwhile organise 1 letter opening "We the people". Then arrive in millions to deliver it»

Who remembers the first week of the year? Did something happen in January 2026? Maybe in USA? Crude Oil was $56 per barrel on 7th January. What could have caused it to more than double in price I wonder?

"accept no less than those 4 things from others. Your time is worth more than anyone can afford & no boss has a claim to your life outside of work. This way happiness, love, contentment should all find their way in and stay." I only hope it serves/d her well, the wondrous mix of things that she is.

My cat was exactly the same.

My cat of 16 going on 2 years died recently. I'm certain nothing would make me have another as I know I'd always compare them (he was *that* awesome - both a kitten and a true warrior till the end), which is unfair on any future pet. Then I see this. Much to think on. Jacob in his fave place 👇🏻

Tell me about it. I stood in 2019 GE and argued til i was blue in the face. The most frustrating thing was when you knew you'd finally convinced the person in front of you, they would know it too and respond with either some batshit crazy whatabout, or just go "yeh well whatever"

Email received today showed this - near 100% price increase for a service that has steadily worsened over the past 3 years. Game catalogue is now full of -crap phone games -games that would've been sub-par in the late 80s -"free" benefits only pvp players want -hordes of broken pish Not forgetting»

Audacious, considering a) it's coming from a career buttkisser who serves a career felon & rapist who is despised by Europe & is only "American" by way of the processes he wants to deny others use of, and b) America hasn't been in existence (as USA) for even just one of those "thousands of years".

Unlike the Substack article linked here ↙️, open.substack.com/pub/councile... this ⤵️⤵️from BBC is a blatant lie

Arguably the most *politically* damning #EpsteinFiles page on #Trump thus far. x.com/Narjes_Rahma...

The route to world peace rarely presents such an opportunity. Wasted.

When considering political/geographical matters I often find it helpful to view the globe from other perspectives. The images here provide a couple of useful ones and the link leads to an invaluable tool. Copyright rests with existing owners in all cases. rogerallen.github.io/webgl/2014/0...
