Yo! @lemonde.fr qui est le blanc qui a eu l’idée d’écrire que le XIIIe arrondissement était “surtout vietnamien”?

Petit cours d’histoire asiatique: à partir du XVe siècle des milliers puis des millions de Chinois issus de régions du sud (Fujian, Guangdong) quittent leur pays pour chercher fortune

Just saw that point repeated again and again.

Assuming it’s true (and it probably isn’t) you should contrast it with the drop in revenue tied to the recession this idiocy has brought about.

Anyone trying to pretend this windfall has been without a cost is a charlatan.

Hi @derparrot.bsky.social sorry to bug you, I assume you know about that but it appears YouTube is proposing AI rip-offs of your videos under your own videos…

Yo @jeandpardaillan.bsky.social I’ve given the kapudanpasha crucial intelligence. Where are my golden sultani?

No for real, so far the book is so enjoyable.

July version of for the NWF data.

Quite surprisingly gold and yuans were actually deposited into the fund last month.

I haven't had time to look further into it but I'm sure @prune602.bsky.social has something to say about it.

You people should run to sites.google.com/view/dariia-... and buy the video as soon as it appears.

damn it really IS a sub-genre, no wonder it resonates with people

The NWF graph for May 2025.

It's declining fast!

Remember: these clowns were discussing how much money they were actually going to PUT IN the fund this year just a few weeks ago

OK time to pull the proverbial envelop:

Per the FinMin's official release, the NWF's generated $300 million in income in the first 5 months of the year.

Now, let's simplify everything and assume that the portfolio will generate $300mn/5*12 = $720mn over the whole year.

According to the Russian finance ministry, the total value of the Kremlin's piggy bank, the so-called NWF, stands at a respectable $150 billion.

Sure, as far as Sovereign Wealth Funds go, it ain't much: Norway's reaches a whooping $1 trillion

But... can we even trust that $150bn valuation?
