Let me be clear: if Chuck Schumer caves tonight, that will be the formal end of his career in Democratic politics.
The new generation coming into leadership has no tolerance for cowards.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.
If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

The BBC's senior leadership resigning en masse over one dodgy edit in one programme, simply because the right wing press demands it, tells you everything you need to know about where the power really lies in that relationship

Board at Lunch, I read China is getting loads of Gold, and crypto is banned, and they have controls on their currency (I think). So what would happen if they just printed loads of dosh, only used it to buy BTC, then dumped all the BTC at a bargain $1 price or something? Like an economic weapon.

Them: "It's cash only".
Me: "Ok", hands £50 note.
Them: "We don't take £50 notes"
Me: "Ok, card then"
Them: "No, because of Fees"
Me: "Ok, well I will need a £1.95 discount as that's the fee to me to use the ATM for cash"
Long Pause.........
Them: "Can you do a bank transfer?"

I am amazed that nobody has made a joke about the "Buffett indicator" and AI saying it was inevitable, given the amount Brits consume on Holiday. #ai #financejokes

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

I don't know what will happen in NYC tonight, but I do know that regardless of outcome, any number of public figures, celebrities, politicians and institutions that oppose Mamdani have done so with a level of rhetorical ugliness, racism, and dishonesty that should neither be forgotten nor forgiven.
