We are going tonsee 10 plus minutes of relentless Brazil attacks. Go Norway!

Goooooooooooool!!!

Go Cape Verde!!!

In the crazy world we live in, bad economic news on the state of the US economy triggers a rally in the US stock market

I do not remember when one team looked so dominant in world football as France at the US 2026 World Cup. Very impressive win yesterday. Polling markets were impressed as well. Now France's probability of winning is priced at 1/3.

Norway walked the ball in. Almost blew it as well

Great news, it is an example of united Europe defending itself, relying on is own resources and shaping the future in its own interest in the wolrd where hostile powers like Russia are determined to destroy European project

👀 For the first time, footage from a Ukrainian reconnaissance UAV has been released online, which filmed the launch of Russian Geran-2/Harpiya-A1 from a car. The further fate of the pickup truck is destruction.

​A decade after the vote, the reality for UK small businesses is grim. 63% of SMEs trading with the EU face "significant" barriers, and a third plan to downsize or stop entirely. "Sovereignty" shouldn’t mean replacing 24-hour deliveries with weeks of deadweight red tape. 📋📉 #Brexit #UKBusiness

That's right

Wow, this is a new development. Ukraine takes initiative of offensive actions.

UK is developing its own tariffs on steel, but it should proceed with care and do analysis of the downstream impact. The Steel Tariff Nobody Priced open.substack.com/pub/centrefo...

Next stage - mass repressions, civil disorder, and great october revolution 2.0 Russian Empire is collapsing. Time to liberate oppressed regions, Moscow sucked blood from for too long!

The best game of the tournament so far, go England!!!

Hydration breaks are stupid

Why was penalty retaken??? Modern rules are so messed up

Russia is a monsterous country that persecutes Christians in Russia and Ukraine. Any so called “believer” who supports Russia doesn’t follow REAL Jesus

Putin attacking one of the great symbols of Kyiv as the capital of ancient Rus, the source of the supposed link between Russia and Ukraine as ,'brotherly people'. He knows it's over and is lashing out.

Today's episode with Antropic restricting use of its most advanced model breaks the whole business model for companies developing AI and businesses using it Limit scale AI is deployed and creates incentives to develop national models. Expect global fragmentation

What's even a problem of having a biolab?

If confirmed, Mykolaiv region is fully liberated from Ru nazi army. Glory to heroes, glory to Ukraine!

I know is tangential and small in the great scheme of things, but St Peterborough has no sea and does not smell like sea at all. I have never thought about it before, but this POS lies really made me think about it.

My guess is blocking internet and AI tools on top of waging a war with previously main trading partner is not conducive to thriving services sector and economic growth in general.

1/ Trump’s proposed 10–12.5% tariffs on imports from ~60 trading partners mark a sharp escalation of US protectionism—far beyond targeted steel/solar duties. This is a de facto new tariff wall around the US market. #Trade #Economics

Go, go! Go, Marta, go! Eastern Europe now dominates in women's tennis. Who would have thought?

What a niche journal to publish. Sounds really tempting. Unfortunately, not a specialist in the area

Ireland is subsidising Russia's war machine with a 70% wartime discount. 2014, after Crimea: exports from Aughinish Alumina to Russia collapsed. 2022, after the full-scale invasion, exports to Russia grew. Why? The EU deliberately carved alumina out of sanctions.

US GDP: 2023: 2.9% 2024: 2.8% 2025: 2.1% 2026 YTD: 1.6%

A decade ago, analysts were calling Spain a cautionary tale. Too much solar, too fast! Today, Spain is rapidly on its way to having the cheapest power in Europe. Maybe this time, solar naysayers will learn... haha, jk, they'll just move the goalposts.

If Russia attacks EU, that will be an act of desperation. That will be the final convulsions of Putin's regime before its final and proper death. What will happen next should be a subject of current and very serious discussion among European countries with no inputs from current Russian regime.

Claude is extremely awful at dealing with beamer overflows. The amount of time and resources it is spending on the trivial task of making content to fit into a slide is just astounding. I am just wondering why it is the case.

The outcome of new Trumpian pivot will be US as regional power. Perhaps that is what MAGA want. But then, why start a war in Middle East???

In current race for dominance in artificial intelligence adoption countries that fall behind risk losing all comparative advantage and productivity gains. Implementation of this idea will ensure Russia has no future If this POS were not a hideous nazi, I would give him Hero of Ukraine for this idea

“People Don’t Die, They Just Disappear." This is life under Russian occupation.

Zelensky says Putin can barely mumble "hurrah" anymore but keeps winning against apartment buildings. Water facility, market, schools, dozens of homes, an Oreshnik on Bila Tserkva. He says the US and Europe need to act to make this old man in Moscow say "peace."

It would be nice to have UK analogue of Polymarket to price outcomes and follow the odds. Now, one of the most important by elections in the modern UK politics

The Russian terrorist state attacked Kyiv this night. They specifically targeted civilian infrastructure. Kyiv School of Economics in Obolon district - double strike for me personally: my home district and my first academic place of work. Photo from @mylovanov.bsky.social

A former Reuters colleague family ended up in Uzbekistan, like many others, where he ended up stuck when the Soviet Union collapsed.

New Q1 2026 UK trade data out this morning - and the Trump tariff hit on UK exports to the US is now unmissable. Feeding into the longer-term picture of weak goods trade, offset with stronger services trade.

1/ Trump’s Beijing visit, amid a US–Iran war and disruption in the Strait of Hormuz (20% of global oil flows), turns US–China trade talks into an energy-security negotiation. Oil prices and shipping costs for the US, UK and Europe are directly on the line. #Trade #Economics

A universal 10% U.S. tariff on all imports is not dead. The appeals court has: Allowed continued collection of contested tariffs Kept the legal foundation for broad, national‑security‑based tariffs Preserved the option for a future administration to attempt non‑targeted tariffs

Reform is a protest party. A protest against decency, integrity, kindness, expertise, and progress. It's a party of pettiness and hate, and it is made up of petty and hateful people from the grassroots to the very top. What it doesn't have is competence. So good luck with the bins and potholes.

1/ Trump’s July 4 ultimatum to the EU on ratifying a trade deal — or facing “much higher” tariffs — ramps up transatlantic tensions. It’s a classic bargaining tactic: compress the timeline, raise the stakes, and force choices. #Trade #Economics

1/ The US Court of International Trade has ruled parts of Trump’s 10% global tariffs illegal, but kept most of the structure in place. Short-term effects on prices and trade flows will be modest, but the legal stakes are big. #Trade #Economics

1/ The EU is racing to clinch a US trade deal by July - not a classic tariff‑cutting FTA, but a framework on green, digital and industrial rules. Goal: lock in transatlantic standards before US politics shift again. #Trade #Economics

Trump’s escalation just backfired. Iran has now struck a major UAE oil port, along with hitting multiple ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Now? No ships are moving. A critical oil hub is burning. And we are waiting to see if full hostilities resume.
