What is the difference between war fighting and fighting ? What a ridiculous turn of phrase. And what is the difference between a soldier and a war fighter ? Ditto.

Inequality is a crisis for our age. The revenues ( adjusted for inflation ) of each of the mag 7 is double that of the GDP of the British Empire in the 19th Century . Mind boggling. Watch this video. vm.tiktok.com/ZN8kdL71X/

You are right they were both out of line. So disappointing. Abdul is fantastic.

Ross Macdonald @rossmac2310.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
I thought Abdul did very well. I agree with Scott on a lot of things- but he is out of line on this issue. I agree with you completely.

Scott and Abdul debate the word genocide. I think it misses the point. The industrial scale slaughter of women and children is a war crime ( whether genocide or not ) and should result in sanctions against the protagonists. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/r...

Everything he does is a distraction from the Iran war and the Epstein files. Both of which are fatal for him.

Of course he is. If he doesn’t he gets impeached. Same as Netanyahu- if the war ends he gets indicted - so he perpetuates it.

A little known Fintech company recently acquired by MasterCard - BVNK - one to aspire to - founded by Saffas. www.forbes.com/sites/kjarta...

How BVNK Built A $1.8 Billion Company Through Culture
BVNK's founders treated culture as an operating system, not a set of values on a wall. The result was faster execution, stronger hiring and a company built to scale.

2 dead in Michigan from Taylor Farms lettuce. 1.7M+ contaminated eggs at Kroger. 3 dogs sick from Oma's Pride dog food. E. coli berries in 8 states. This is what happens when the FDA can't act before the harm — and victims can't sue after. All thanks to The Roberts Court.

The mind boggles at climate change denialism - à la the Trump administration. In terms of consequences - ie deaths - it is worse than Holocaust denialism. Because far more than 6 m will die due to climate change.

We need more of this in the USA… “NYC Mayor Mandani reveals a plan to allocate $122 million to hire an additional 1,000 teachers by 2027. This must be why they say socialism is so horrible. Rather than funding continuous foreign wars, tax funds are being redirected toward our educational system.”

"The mere existence of trillionaires is a major political and economic problem, probably the defining issue of our time," writes @gabrielzucman.bsky.social. "When the power of wealth is wielded by sociopaths, the consequences are a matter of life and death."

Man who hates paying taxes loves government handouts
CNN quotes early Tesla investor Ross Gerber saying, “There would not be Tesla and SpaceX if it weren’t for the government.” That is the whole story in one sentence.
