20. Time and again, FBI asks Twitter for evidence of foreign influence & Twitter responds that they aren’t finding anything worth reporting. “[W]e haven’t yet identified activity that we’d typically refer to you (or even flag as interesting in the foreign influence context).”

Absolute masslighting on an industrial scale. The cognitive dissonance is going to be so painful. We'll get there though.

In EU possibly less of an issue because it's such a mess. ECB can't tighten to the same extent imo because their economies are much weaker. It's no wonder the € is collapsing really. Possibly a sign markets don't see % raising that much.

A LOT of refi activity last year which should stand it in good stead on existing deals, especially anything locked in with fixed rates. Floating rates will be painful and new large-cap deals will struggle to access debt.

An issue for private equity here, particularly in the US, is its leveraged model does not suit slowing growth + rising rates. Much is made of PE's ability to weather recessions and outperform public markets, but 2008 was 0% rates. Big difference here. Levfin markets struggling.

Twitter is temporarily locking down accounts sharing the whatsit leak materials. Seems to be catching in the foreign press here and there now. Grim stuff.

At some point I signed up for Quora, don’t even remember why or when. But I’ve had an email like this every other day for the last couple of weeks. Not helping my anxiety tbh.

I can’t wait until they all start doing Danny Dyer impressions.

Starmer doing his "son of a toolmaker" routine. Reminder; his dad owned the toolmaking firm, he went to a fee paying school, charged £2,000-an-hour as a barrister and he has £100,000 kitchen.

You’re telling me Donald Trump lied? Pretty convinced he’s going to use “**** Pete” when he campaigns. And there probably won’t be any repercussions because Biden won’t want legal discovery. 🤡 🌍

How did the euro manage to fall over 16% to parity with the $ in a year? £ not much better. These currencies look like meme stonks. Next 12-18 months are going to make 2008 look like nothing. Absolute mess.

Incoming Russian disinfo narrative pt.11. Something along the lines of: “The Kremlin’s latest vector of attack in the Ukraine conflict is playing out on the disinformation frontline.”

I also find that when I sit in a Tesla I’m overwhelmed by the sheer number of possible destinations. Too many options if anything.

Tesla is going to be the next Netflix. Like Netflix, it is revolutionary, far ahead of its time, excellent execution and visionary leadership. Also like Netflix, there is no moat with minimal barriers to entry for competitors. The party will come to a screeching halt.

A new politics. Current system is completely ossified and makes any change impossible, arguably by design. Let’s go Jez. I’m in!

Johnson is the third PM to fall in six years because there is no solution to the deep economic and environmental crisis we face that picks our pockets and steals our future. Real change isn't a new Tory PM but a new politics to redistribute wealth and power.

12 years of cruel Tory rule inflicting pain for the many to feather the beds of the few. Johnson should resign now but real change can only come when the Tories are swept away and replaced with a peoples Government to redistribute wealth and power.

It'll be interesting watching the left-wing press tie themselves in knots attempting to demonise working class Dutch farmers, in defence of policies foisted upon democracies by unelected technocrats who clearly don't give a shit about people much less the planet.

The mainstream liberal backlash against Elon Musk owning Twitter and concerns over people having too much free speech is all secretly funded by the lesser known but hugely influential Gettr lobby.

Anything else you were told was “Russian disinformation” the last 5-6 years?
