I like New Year Resolutions:

1. get my French from early B2 to C1
2. Lose 15 kg and get in shape
3. Walk at least 15k steps a day
4. Go to the cinema at least once a month
5. Start using a proper to-do list

🤦🏻‍♂️ an ideological hypothesis that we know isn’t supported. Fact free ideology
elliott4mp.bsky.social Derek Elliott, Libertarian @elliott4mp.bsky.social · 1d
The Left claims gun control stops these tragedies, but it actually disarms the law-abiding. We have a right to defend ourselves. Gun-free zones just create soft targets for criminals who don’t follow rules anyway. True safety comes from an armed and free citizenry.

As Gisèle Pelicot's new memoir, “A Hymn to Life: Shame Has to Change Sides,” is set to hit the shelves next week, Pelicot, 73, is speaking out and revealing what she had so far shared only in the French courtroom where her rapists were convicted and sentenced. https://cnn.it/4tu595g

The Labour party's vetting process seems to amount to simply asking people if they've done anything wrong. It's beyond parody.

Thanks to everyone who came to the Bluesky drinks tonight and those who couldn't quite make it and people who prodded me to invite other people. Lots of fun, and the UK's problems sorted. I'm sure we'll all feel the improvements soon.😀

There's been interesting research on sexual offenders- who tend to do lots of every sort of crime.

So if they are investigated on the assumption that they are serial criminals, this usually turns out to be the case.

"Offensive and wrong. Britain is a proud, tolerant and diverse country. Jim Ratcliffe should apologise."

I’ve spent some time in Singapore the last week or so visiting companies/meeting executives, mainly working/investing in sustainability projects or industries where it matters. All of them rave about the EU and say that it’s companies are the most investable by far.

In any kind of functioning system, what Bondi is doing would see her in contempt immediately and suspended from legal practice pending a disbarring application by lunchtime tomorrow.

That she will instead remain in charge of federal law enforcement should tell any investor there is no US law left.

Which is, ironically, the reason why there’s no profitable B2C business case for OpenAI. Local, cheap Chinese LLMs will do that.

Am torn about this chart - it shows that despite the always defeatists talk, Europe and the EU in particular have stepped up for their security.

However, it also shows that the level of support is still notably smaller, and in consequence Ukraine has suffered.

it’s not that people are inherently more / less corrupt in different societies it’s that incentive structures make people behave more/less corruptly.
