... that produce inference, and the price of that inference shows up as the #token expenditure index.

The chart's thesis is essentially mapping the #AI supply chain together: hyperscalers spend on chips (Philly #Semiconductor Index, which includes #Nvidia, #AMD, #Broadcom, memory makers, etc.) to build the data centers ...

I heard the words 'working class' twice in Burnham's speech. For the first time in decades under right wing Labour governments.

Her words still echo. archive.org/details/fate...

thank you Henry for exposing HMT's careless dogma ....

OMFG. I cannot begin to describe my gasp at how Roberts & co decided to go all in on LOST CAUSE theory & insist that the Reconstruction Congress did Confederate sympathizer President Andrew Johnson wrong by attempting to keep him from destroying Reconstruction www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

As of now, 'thanks' in particular to the sectarian majority on its Supreme Court, the USA has ceased to be a democracy under the rule of law. It is an authoritarian near-dictatorship, heading rapidly towards a new form of fascism. May the old Republic's body RIP.

I will be in a webinar today..to celebrate the life of a dear friend, Susan George...who amongst many other books was the author of A Fate Worse than Debt (1988)...You can join here. www.tni.org/en/event/cel...

These devastating fires are not even the top item in the NYT today... www.nytimes.com/2026/06/28/u...

Hair: "Financial regulators are known for their poor timing. They tend to ease regs when economies are strong & asset prices booming, while tightening rules when the economy struggles & credit in short supply. It’s happening again today." Ill-timed deregulation is weakening bank resilience

Clear from @pickardje.bsky.social &Lucy Fisher report in @FT many Labour MPs still don't understand why Starmer had to go. "it was absolutely gutting ..I felt like part of a political project has just been overturned overnight." said one. Not true. It's taken two years to overturn that project.

Let's go S.Carolina Vote for Nancy Lacore💥

In Spain today: installation of solar panels above major irrigation channels. Channels of more than 100 kms transport water from dams to farmland. - Reduces evaporation -Provides large agricultural areas with power & supports irrigation -Decreases use of water in food production, doubling the crop.

The bond markets really aren't bothered about who the Chancellor is. The Westminster establishment and the Bank of England are the ones getting hot and bothered.

#pension funds forced to absorb risks of #AIbubble, a troubling read for many from @annpettifor.bsky.social annpettifor.substack.com/p/musk-and-t...

“If we lose, people might investigate us" is a helluva campaign pitch for "innocent" politicians.

“You cannot make billions of dollars without hurting lots of people. And you can’t hurt lots of people without, in some sense, believing that they’re not really people.” Corey Doctorow

Simon Case is one of the poorer examples of the British establishment. His latest intervention demonstrates again his rightwing bias and lack of judgement.

Americans’ personal savings rate has dropped to one of its lowest levels in 15 years. Household debt is at a record high. Millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, which aren't keeping up with inflation. Meanwhile, corporate profits are at a record high. The system is rigged.

Galloway lives in Russia and has done since last year. Feel this has rather gone under the radar.

Excellent Wall St Journal investigative reporting,

Wow! He gets it.

As we have experienced this week, extreme temperatures are no longer a future threat. They are a present danger. Today, I’m launching London’s first ever heat plan: a city-wide plan to adapt our capital, protect communities, and build a climate-resilient city.

Trump as model for Musk’s bond & stock issues…. “After narrowly escaping financial ruin in the early 1990s by delaying payments on his debts, Mr. Trump avoided a 2nd potential crisis by taking his casinos public & shifting the risk to stockholders.” annpettifor.substack.com/p/nasdaq-and...

The discrepancy between the sober tone of reporting and the insanity of the slow-burn meltdown in private equity is widening by the day. I believe Minsky has a name for this type of borrowing? Starts with a P? www.ft.com/content/1fe7...

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey has unveiled a billboard campaign across the UK to mark the 10th anniversary of the Brexit referendum today. The billboards call out Reform leader Nigel Farage’s £5 million "reward for campaigning for Brexit, whilst people across the country feel the pinch."

Free live podcast & drinks this Thursday! I'm looking forward to sitting down with @annpettifor.bsky.social as part of #LCAW2026 to discuss how our financial system continues to promote fossil fuels, and how we can do something about it. Reserve a ticket to secure a place - they're going fast!

The byproduct is a massive financial crisis in 2008 and markets that are little different from casinos. (See Ann Pettifor's @annpettifor.bsky.social book). And we also live in a market where risks are highly correlated. 9/10 bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

"I didn't know this could happen".

Anything to distract from his obscene wealth and extreme racism...,

I've had 2 journalists today asking if Miliband as Chancellor would be a "Liz Truss moment" and find it difficult not to just respond "are you on crack?".

Are we on the same planet as the British media?

Kevin Warsh may want a quieter Fed, but markets will fill the silence, just less reliably and at a high cost. Who—or what—becomes the “shadow Fed Chair” when the real one won’t talk? My latest: stayathomemacro.substack.com/p/will-the-s...

i think, if I tried to boil it down to a sentence, it'd be: "All politicians are hated by their opponents - but Starmer went out of his way to be hated by his supporters too."

Yes, we need all our MPs to understand the need to defend our democracy. 99-percent.org/getting-your...

It's like clockwork that once a centrist government self implodes they are described as "the most left wing in recent memory". Trudeau, Biden, and now Starmer. There isn't any evidence supporting the claim but it's a good story to blame people who were not, in fact, in charge.

Many Labour MPs are urging us to remember the outgoing Prime Minister as "a decent man". History will remember him differently and this exchange in particular. Nick Ferrari: "A siege is appropriate? Cutting off power, cutting off water" Keir Starmer: "I think that Israel does have that right"

Got a piece up on Polanski, MMT, economic policy and all that. Punchline: Polanski is right that the current institutional and operational framework is past its sell by date, and Greens are asking the right questions — but Richard Murphy’s MMT is not the answer. blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandp...
