It may strike you as weird, but lenders *love* lending to poor people who will have trouble paying them back. Obviously, lenders want to be repaid, and the more money you have, the easier it is to settle your debts, but that means that if you have a lot of money, you pay *less* to borrow. 1/
A 19th century engraving of a family being evicted from their tenement. The family stands, miserable, on the sidewalk, watched over by cops and their curious neighbors, as baliffs carry their worldly goods out of their former home. The image has been altered. It has been tinted sepia. The Apple 'Think Different' wordmark has been matted into the top of the scene. The trunk the baliffs are carrying has been replaced with a blocky Mac SE/30.

Okay so I read the whole of the Pope's latest encyclical "Magnifica Humanitas", the one the internet is calling the AI Encyclical, but it's about a LOT more than that (of course it is, it's over 40,000 words). Here's a thread of quotes...

My SIX takeaways from Tommy's "Fashtonbury" event yesterday... 1) Numbers way down on last year when they claimed "3 million!" (lol) marched (was nearer 110k in reality but these people live in Conspiracy Theory & Disinfo so whatever) This year met police estimate ~60-70k.

Our new report: Richard Tice signed accounts wrongly claiming £98,000 of tax exemptions A 🧵 with the evidence:
What should have happened: the REIT paid no tax but the Tice companies holding shares in the REIT paid £98k tax on the dividends they received.

What actually happened: none of the companies paid any tax.

Don't think I've ever been as terrified in all the Trump security crises. As @pkrugman.bsky.social said, "It’s the most astonishing, awful thing that I’ve ever seen, and we’ve all seen a lot of awful things." Mainly as cope, and to teach it, I keep asking why. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

Trump is saying this now because he's angry that other NATO members aren't doing what he wants. But there are also medium- and longer-term questions about NATO's viability that everyone needs to face up to. 🧵

1/ Disruptions mean countries will rush to exit US-led oil order Worst case scenario for oil companies (best for rest of us) is that people permanently shift...what they call “demand destruction“ i.e short term pain but Long: Iran war will accelerate ongoing STRUCTURAL shift to solar+EVs+batteries

Let's talk about generative AI, contaminated information, and rhubarb. Once upon a time, Europe was at war. Food was scarce, and the government of the quote-unquote United Kingdom looked for alternatives. 1/

The devastation on its way is unimaginable - like nothing humanity has ever witnessed before - and everyone will wish they had been climate activists and ‘hysterics’ when they had the chance. We are in a moment of unprecedented stupidity

NEW: I've just been passed this excellent article from the Papua New Guinea Courier's London correspondent.
To England, where five months after the last general election two and a half million adults
(sic) have signed a petition calling for another one. Succesfully. It will be held in four years
and seven months’ time.
The campaign began because Labour didn’t restore prosperity in their first twenty weeks.
Rumours that the petition was a ruse by an autograph hunter who specialises in simpleton
signatures were not laid to rest when Reform UK threw its collective intellectual weight
behind it.
Labour only have themselves to blame. By annihilating the Tories at the ballot box, they
killed the goose that laid the golden tractor porn eggs. Without Randox, or Chris Pincher, or
shell PPE companies, or Partygate, or a vision, all they seem to offer are tax rises and warm
words about Blackrock. Ideologically, this leaves them more exposed than Peter Bone
talking to a junior staffer.
Enter stage far-right, goosestepping, Reform UK and their cartoon Tory clones who hawk
uncontested narratives about imaginary threats posed by refugees, experts and – er – trans
people. The near and present dangers of climate catastrophe are meanwhile rejected.
Never, they say, let the truth get in the way of a good story. In a world where mothballed
Thunderbirds extra Richard Tice can become a political figure, it seems that voters are
unwilling to let it get in the way of a crap one too.
Insurance giant AXA has just published data which say that Tice’s constituency is the
second most exposed to global warming in the UK. It’s a catchy stat, but not so catchy as
Tice’s mantra that ‘Net Zero equals Net Stupid’. Perhaps the 4000 householders in Boston
and Skegness who are at risk of submersion will chant this next time they’re baling turd-filled
floodwater from their living rooms.

Apologies, the alt text box has run out of space. Pls DM me if you were reading this way and I'll forward the rest!
