Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them. New piece ↓ open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement.
Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Local councils should match how we vote. They do in Scotland, N. Ireland and in Wales councils can choose a fairer system. England is being left behind. Add your name to @electoralreform.bsky.social's call for everyone to have a vote make a difference. action.electoral-reform.org.uk/page/2401/pe...

In England the electoral system means we often get councils that do not represent what people voted for. Wales has made progress, but England is being left behind.

Funny that. A lot of females I know of, and have known, wished and would be grateful for, their male partners to have had low levels of testosterone. Always complaining that their partner wanted sex more than once a month and on their birthday. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Sex drive and the great debate over whether testosterone can help
Can boosting testosterone improve libido, or is much of the attention solely hype, profit, and placebo?

They are never satisfied with money, no matter how much they have. For them, it turns into a power game; either between themselves, or, to extract as much “milk as they can from a dried up udder” (the rest of us). They need to be restrained.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

Reform UK won’t say ‘private’ when talking about the NHS. Richard Tice is calling it ‘independent’: "Instead of giving £26bn to the already bloated wasteful NHS, we proposed easing pressure on the health service by incentivising those who can afford to pay more to go independent with a tax break."
