It’s not an uncontroversial move

Glad to have my hands on a physical (review) copy of @robinwigglesworth.ft.com ‘s new book. Plasticbacks are all the rage I hear…

Ok fine some more. I saw some guys with a Super 8 and I had to grab a photo for @m-kamilla.bsky.social. I has a great kebab on a train. I had an even better cardamom bun off the train. I also cycled through wet pine forests and ate headwind for breakfast.

Levente Koroes @lkoro.es · 09/07/2026

Anyway. I told myself I wouldn’t read the news for two weeks. It’s been great.

My interview with the @suomenpankki.fi 's Olli Rehn has just been published. I asked him to elaborate on his views on how demographics will impact monetary policy, alongside geopolitics, green policies, NBFI and stablecoins. Read here: www.centralbanking.com/central-bank...

I’ve heard good things about Masa tortilla chips but £21.50 for a bag seems excessive.

Boy I sure do wonder who could possibly be endorsing that rates reach 2.75%-3% by year-end.

I’ve had elevated overnight HRV for the past four or five nights - a clear sign that I need to slightly tone training down. Here are some pictures from sessions this past week.

"Whatever colour ribbon you pin to your chest whilst canvassing, the optics of the UK government being directly responsible for the massacre of thousands of people, including the former chair of the Afghan Defence and Territorial Integrity Committee, are beyond horrifying."

Good pointer from @adamtooze.bsky.social in Chartbook today on the similarities between MMF and stablecoins. The Banque de France wrote about the worrying growth of tokenised MMFs which are practically stablecoins earning interest at the same rate as 30y USTs. www.centralbanking.com/central-bank...

Two days into using Dev Beta 1, this has to be the most iOS7b1-like experience since ‘13. Lots of nice visual improvements, but also many crashes and weird glitches which I’m sure will be ironed out by the autumn.

No. Just let me read.

Becoming a British citizen will cost me £1,735, excluding the citizenship test and the materials required for it. The London Edition Saucony Endorphin Speed 4s cost me £125. Maybe we do need immigration reform...

My bad, I left a shirt out to dry this morning.

Some real signs of the crisis starting to appear as the ice cream truck got towed from St Pancras this morning. (Rumour has it that the owner has been on thin ice with the council for a while)

It started with sports gambling in ~2017 but the way that addiction-based goods’ marketing has been normalised is a continuing net negative for society. This morning: people selling nicotine pouches out tote bags by Liverpool Street.

The first three paragraphs should be the "key takeaways" of any news piece. Please let this technology burn to the ground. It's genuinely abrasive to thinking

Levente Koroes @lkoro.es · 28/02/2025

No, you see, I'm being serious. I'm talking facts here. I don't do ifs, buts and maybes, I do absolutes.

A simply fantastic lecture tonight by Mark Blyth at the LSE's European Institute - fully gripping and engaging. Thanks @benbraun.bsky.social for being a great moderator and the organisers for letting us in without tickets. Can't wait to read the new book - and the next one!

Amazing piece - the parallels between the late 19th century and today are stronger and stronger. A graph for @tommctague.bsky.social from the article:

Strong weekend to step into winter with. Lovely long ride on Saturday with a thirty-strong peloton and a slow, wet long run on Sunday. Nice to see that the dog housing crisis is getting resolved, too.

Found myself at a house party chatting to a hedge fund quant arguing that the world would be better without monetary policy and ‘mineral-backed’ money. He said he wanted to end the ‘loosening-tightening cycle’ that happens every 25 years, and didn’t believe in mandates.

One of my favourite features of the Apple Podcasts app is the ability to skip ads. Click on the transcription button, and notice that it simply doesn’t transcribe ads.

Correction to that FT piece calling this place a Stoke Newington cheese party - we are actually a Hackney Wick bar and axe throwing space, thank you very much.

Yesterday I bought a used folding bike. Today I discovered that parts of it can fold even while I’m riding it. I’m now spending my evening in A&E. As @danhinge.bsky.social reminded me - it’s only Wednesday.
