Hey everyone, you’ve been asking me to run for office for a while, so guess what?
I’m running for California State Assembly!
Now, I don’t like asking for money, but we gotta pay for this somehow, and if everyone throws in $7 we’ll have the resources to run one hell of a race, so, uh, do the thing.

Oh, how Nick Clegg continues to fail, to fall, to forget people as he privatises and monitises what we create.
Ok.
Then let it die.
Because theft is theft.
And even worse if you’re profiting from the crime.

Nice explanation for how Canada in conjunction with the EU and Japan forced Trump to back down. It's what can happen when collectively you own 3 Trillion dollars of U.S. debt and then let it slowly back into the market, drivinig up the cost of U.S. debt.

I wouldn't typically watch a sports documentary, but this one, The Saint of Second Chances (Netflix), is about Mike Veeck, one of the co-owners of the St. Paul Saints. It's fun and redemptive.
