LOL, smoke and mirrors, the HRA *is* the ECHR

All this talk of leaving the ECHR is simply empty rhetoric if you can't detail how you would deal with the Good Friday Agreement

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.

We had both political sovereignty and democracy while we were in the EU, how do you think we were able to leave? Like I said brexit was vibes before facts.

Brexit was sold on a vibe not facts. History will not look kindly on Farage.

LOL, Farage and the rest of leave never had a plan for UK post-brexit. So here we are 10 years on with a 6-8% hit to our GDP and still no plan. Brexit was an historic mistake.

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

Yeah just in time supply chains are pretty fragile, we saw that here in N Ireland with Brexit and covid. This is shaping up to be a LOT worse.

I read the links you posted and a drag coefficient of 0.344 for the Cyber truck isn't much to brag about compared to 0.208 for a Tesla Model 3, I don't see any sharp edges on that model.

Eggy Boil @eggyboil.bsky.social · 11/12/2024
LOL If you read the link I posted you would realize the fact that sharp edges cause more drag than rounded edges is an engineering truth.

It's actually not aerodynamic, all those sharp edges make it a vortex magnet. I doubt it has ever seen the inside of a wind tunnel.
