It's great they have a non culture wars question on the moon landings in there as a control for insanity rather than political posturing

This is basically the only way the war will end
Russia's tax revenues from oil fell 10% in Nov '25 as US sanctions on Rosneft and Lukoil scared away Western buyers, pushing down Urals oil price versus Brent. Oil is Putin's Achilles heel and is the way to bring Russia to the negotiating table in good faith. @econharris.bsky.social @brookings.edu

OBR should be scrapped. Its seeming independence now means it is used as a weapon and its numbers are bent for political purposes. Would prefer to have govt forecasts which will be mostly the same but not have the purported importance
Early OBR release was bad in this instance because it's a terrible way to treat price sensitive material, and if it happened at a listed company it would get the investor relations team liquidated.
Yet if it became the rule (with proper process), it might be better and more productive than now.

Watching Riot Women on BBC. Nice premise. Good caste. But they just spoil everything by making everything so awful. Always the case in TV drama. It can't be fun. Even if someone is doing well, someone else has to have an incomparably bad time
