The most remarkable film shot on one of the most remarkable days in history. It captures the North Shore Regiment on JUNO Beach near St. Aubin-sur-Mer on D-Day. For me, the most touching moment comes at the end of the clip when a soldier pats his comrade on the shoulder to say, "it will be ok." 🧵1/4

The governing party winning a by-election is *always* a win for its leader. The governing party winning a by-election they were expected to lose is a *good* win for its leader. The governing party winning a by-election in a seat *they didn't previously hold* is a great day for its leader.

It doesn’t have to be limited to the young ofc. Plenty of behind the lines roles that could be performed by reasonably fit 50-65 years olds. Plenty of older Ukrainians serving. Let’s see how that goes down!

The problem is that Tesla is a bubble meme stock whose performance has totally decoupled from the actual company's failures. Investors don't want Musk out because the stock would crash back to realistic levels.
