Imagine playing Bob Dylan and concluding that creativity is narrow church

Would quite like someone to sing this really close to Timothée Chalamet's face

My theory: Macro people look at crude markets (over supplied, fairly benign) Energy people look at product markets (oh god did another refinery just blow up?)

@davidallengreen.bsky.social US equivalent title to Steward of the Chiltern Hundred revealed.

such a power move to start the hymn Jerusalem with "and". All these other hymns are like "ooh hallelujah" and "ahh almighty" but Jerusalem's just like "WE'RE MIDWAY THROUGH A CONVERSATION ABOUT ANCIENT FEET. GET ON BOARD"

Genuinely fascinating divergence. Oil and energy market types: really beginning to freak out. Global macro types: mostly relatively calm and expecting this to all blow over.

The lifeboats on the big one don’t count mate.

Many people are saying

Vaguely recall that a some of the Iranian islands in Hormuz are used as a staging point for UAE domestic staff as they wait for their UAE visas to come through, for visas runs etc. Grim places at the best of times, suspect it will be really awful now.

A noticeable share of the top of our decision-makers population developed visible physical aggro tendencies and some wild risk taking tendencies at the same time as they developed bodybuilding physiques, that's a weird coincidence, and I have no further questions

So the man who thought that Khomeini and Khamenei were the same person is now in charge of Homeland Security.

Iron Dome is a much better piece of branding than The Shield Of The Americas

he's probably towards the lower bound of competence you could expect from dudes named markwayne from oklahoma, several of whom have competently assistant managed small gas stations

Azerbaijan just closed airspace "in the south of the country" per Bloomberg macro squawk. Losing that link would have a massive impact on Europe-Asia (incl the Indian subcontinent and ANZ) air travel.

Mental model of a Dubai resident.

"you're right - we bombed a primary school. And that's on me. I didn't check the coordinates and I forgot your instructions to obey the Geneva conventions. I'll remember to do better in future. Would you like me to pick another school to bomb?"

Academics seeing the salary range for an Oxford Computer science position go to £3.9 billion pounds a year: “I guess I’m a bit of a computer scientist myself”

Mark Zuckerberg hit on my girlfriend.

They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.

Enjoyed this on the front cover of @privateeyenews.bsky.social

Doesn't feel like a state of the world where the S&P500 should be less than 2% below all time highs

[Stolen] For Khomeini, not the few..

Thus far it's still somehow a less chaotic leadership rollout than Your Party.

OTOH, being an ally of China will not help you much if you are attacked by the US. OTOH, being an ally of the US will not help you much if you are attacked by the US.

This guy is probably now the highest scoring fighter pilot still serving, right?

Myself & the other comedians who did the Riyadh Comedy Festival are donating our fees to help get influencers under attack in Dubai back home to their influencer houses. I am sponsoring Braevyn McTaigg from Orlando, FL. 🫡🇺🇸🏝️

if @bloomberg.com adds this as a feature I will pay for a Terminal

I would definitely watch curling if each team could release a tactical polar bear

If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.

Okay this may be the funniest effort yet *TRUMP: I THINK IRAN MAY HAVE ATTACKED FIRST

If there's anyone left alive in Iranian intelligence they're getting the sack

“I have showed Mr Trump and Mr Netanyahu some of your hottest Bluesky posts.”

Trump’s lies are often a tell, addressing something he’s feeling vulnerable about. Under that interpretation, “virtually unlimited supply of weapons” means the depletion is real and serious, most likely with air defense interceptors the biggest concern.

I'm trapped and under attack in Dubai - while back home in Chichester my daughters are furious, the labradoodles are sick and, worst of all, I left my Mounjaro pen in the fridge www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Is Trump an Ottoman sultan? - Everything covered in gold - Bevy of dense yet scheming sons - Evil vizier - Slavic wife + various harem - Weakened by Russia - Keeps declaring war on Persia

It's happening

It’s funny that nobody can tell if these are real quotes or not.

My fear is that the Israeli govt wants it to be like Gaza

tl;dr: more people should watch this gentleman's speech and think seriously about what he is saying bsky.app/profile/slcl...

I’m beginning to believe that the UK needs to charge a licence fee for tge USA to continue to use the English language. Their free trial is up and honestly there’s plenty of other languages they could use for free

Mood

imagine if this escalates further and Trump tries to invoke Article 5

Time to dig out this ever useful post on what a war crime actually is bsky.app/profile/opin...

What's happening in Dubai bolsters the argument taxes should be based on people's nationality, not just their country of residence (ie the US model). If Brits living abroad can expect to be airlifted out by virtue of being British, they should pay some tax towards that. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I hope as Tommy Robinson flees Dubai he settles in the first safe country he arrives in
