COMMENTARY: You've heard of Russia's shadow fleet. Now a new category of ships is emerging — one that’s even shadier and harder to reign in.

‘Trump’s meme coin soars after he asks top 220 holders to dinner’ - this happened a week ago, possibly the single most corrupt action ever by an American President. And yet the reaction is…whatever www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Over on X (formerly known as Twitter) there's celebration of Ed Ball's Day, which this year coincides with St. George's Day. Who'd have thunk it?

Our flags are lowered at half-mast in memory of Pope Francis. His legacy will always inspire us toward justice, peace, and compassion

Incredibly saddened to read of Pope Francis’ death. He always struck me as a gentle, humble man whose faith and love for humanity shone through. Such people are the best examples for their faith. RIP gentle Francis.

This is an interesting one, supermarkets send a letter to the EU calling for a UK deal on food and drink trade. But I'd suggest the real audience, and indeed organiser, is rather closer to home, as in the UK government building up domestic support. www.ft.com/content/687f...

Goldman Sachs has just put out a warning about a full US-China financial decoupling which would wipe out $2.5 trillion. US investors might be forced to sell $800 billion in Chinese stocks, while China could liquidate $1.7 trillion in US assets, including Treasuries and equities. Boom.

What is the offer here. Presumably it has to be implied insider information which the investment account managers are relayed and trade on. Or is it just bullshit/branding, using no more than the guesses any informed analyst would make about companies that benefit from the tariff policy evolution?

BREAKING: 15 people charged with gambling offences following the gamblegate scandal of the general election, including former Conservative MP and aide to Rishi Sunak, Craig Williams. The sleaze scandal was one of the final nails in the Tory govt’s coffin.

President Trump has exempted smartphones and computers from reciprocal tariffs, including the 125% levies imposed on Chinese imports

Well, the counter's going down #EndOfTrump

“He made 2.5 million today and he made $900 million. That’s not bad.” Sounds like market manipulation to me. That’s bad.

@danneidle.bsky.social Re your newsletter, the accommodation for the renamed company is, to say the least, "compact"

The tariff policy changes every ten minutes. What a joke. It’s nuclear grade incompetence that would be laughable except they’re ruining people’s lives for sport. Just shameful.
