Latest polls indicate a rejection of the far right’s initiative. I take great pleasure in the millions that EMS Chemie has thrown down the drain with their stupid ad campaign

I know it’s nothing new, but I continue to be amazed by the ability of late stage capitalism to create new reasons to spend money through an appeal to feelings of inadequacy www.vittlesmagazine.com/p/tablescalp...

Fresh off its fortunately unsuccessful initiative to cap the Swiss population at 10m, regret to inform you that the Swiss far-right is back with another one. Whereas the anti-immigration measure was framed as being pro-sustainability, this one is all about neutrality! pro-peace! anti-war! 🚨🚨🚨

People need to get a grip. Leopold Aschenbrenner didn’t “crash” the stock market. The S&P 500 is barely off all-time highs. (But yes, some over-leveraged traders got taken out, that’s the way it usually works.)

this is a great chart from Bespoke (@peark.es 👍), because it illustrates how far we are from a true all-encompassing speculative frenzy as we saw with the Dotcom bubble. having been around back then, I remember the ultimate Neuer Markt debacle cc: @michellev.bsky.social @dsquareddigest.bsky.social

Long before Brexit, and when I lived in the UK, I remember telling someone that I was going to Paris for the weekend, and she responded, “So you’re off to Europe then...” And I’ve never forgotten, because it was such a strange thing to say

I miss those vintage World Cups, where key matches would overlap London/NYC trading hours, and liquidity would become nonexistent esp. in certain EM bonds. The outrage and complaints from disinterested US traders was brilliant

One of the less appreciated risks to the global AI/ semiconductor/ datacenter trade is policy risk via taxation or some other redistributive measure. Risk from commodification, tech obsolescence or slowdown in capex spending are all kind of understood. But risk from policy measures is underestimated
