Fund managers worry about Trump’s mental state amid tariff debacle
Some fund managers concerned ‘that the White House is not acting rationally, but rather on ideology. And some even fear that this may not even be ideology’

I shall say that, as far as we can see, looking at it by and large, taking one thing with another, in the final analysis it is probably true to say, that at the end of the day, in general terms, you would probably find that, not to put too fine a point on it, Trump can get fucked

Thing that skips by in this early review of Star Wars by Barry Norman is that he explains it will be opening after Christmas in the UK even though it had been out in US cinemas since the previous MAY.
Unimaginable today.

It’s impossible to overestimate the brilliance of Viz.
There's no finer group of silly nerds. Love you all.
I still love this one-off Viz strip: "Tony Slattery & his Phony Cattery", as did he.

I felt this too.
After 2008, Europe as a whole was going through a tough time.
Instead of pulling together with the team to tackle shared problems, Britain took it as an opportunity to attack our neighbours and jump ship.
It was selfish, mean spirited and shortsighted. And it’s backfired.

What if I told you that the only reason I am bald is that I’m afraid of a Ratatouille situation? What if I told you that I’d have so much hair if not for the fear of a rat using me like a puppet? These are modes of control, Neo. This is how they manipulate us. Ratatouilles, Neo. Rats that pull hair.
