1. We cannot now rule out the possibility of systemic collapse in the United States. If Trump and Musk paralyse the federal government, this could trigger social, financial and industrial failures. Neither Trump nor his team know how to respond to such failures, which could snowball and converge. 🧵

We're lovin' "HIs Girl Friday" as Grant plays a newspaper editor trying to get the girl as a murder case unfolds in 1940s Chicago. Fun Fact: the studio failed to renew the copyright in 2024 so you can now see the entire movie free from its Wikipedia page:

Jan 18th 1968, the great Eartha Kitt took an anti-Vietnam stance at a White House luncheon, reducing Lady Bird Johnson to tears. The CIA quickly opened a file on Eartha, her career in the US died overnight, and she had to find work in Europe. She really liked Batley. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vud...

The ace @fontainesdublin.bsky.social last night in Manchester. Great vibe in Factory International. Saw them few years back in Liverpool, was impressive then, now even better. Extremely interesting guitar work & there was plenty of it without becoming wank. Reminded me of early EATB gigs. Top hole!
