At this rate we might as well go back to 1986 and overturn Maradona's Hand of God against England.

At this rate the Trump administration will release the full unredacted Epstein files to distract from Iran.

On a BA flight to Johannesburg. Obviously the 380 is packed. Interesting to hear 2 passengers on BA because of the Middle East airlines out of action. Are other airlines seeing a boom?

Friendly reminder that buying stocks on a 2% down day when we are ~3% off the all time high in the S&P 500 is not “buying the dip”

A man wants to deposit money at a Swiss bank... "How much do you want to deposit?" asks the bank employee. Whispers the man, "Three million." "You can speak up," says the bank clerk. "In Switzerland, poverty is not a disgrace."

So let me get this right. The US can find and kill a leader of a foreign country halfway around the world. But they can't find any of the paedophiles and child traffickers from the Epstein list and arrest any of them in their own country?

Just another denial, and the disappointing thing is that he and all the others implicated with Epstein will get away with it.
I am deeply saddened by the suffering of the victims in this case, and I unequivocally condemn abuse and exploitation in all forms. I want to be clear: I was never involved in, nor did I participate in, any criminal or exploitative conduct. Any contact I had was limited and unrelated to abusive activity. Some past email exchanges have surfaced that reflect poor judgment in tone. I regret that and understand how they read today, given what was publicly known at the time. My focus remains on supporting accountability, prevention, and efforts that protect and support survivors.

Fighting a dreaded disease is already one massive task… to have to fight too with your medical aid as well…#discoverynothealthy
18 months fighting for Discovery Health to pay for my prescribed Daratumumab a first-line treatment in many countries. CMS ruled twice they must pay. They appealed twice. Another hearing on 10 Dec. This fight isn’t just for me, but for every patient. Thank you @campaign4cancer.

Why do people want to come to a western country and create the same society that they fled from?

If Russia is seen as the aggressor why have they not used any of their nuclear arsenal which happens to be the largest in the world?

China built an 'infinite energy' reactor while America argues about windmills. Their $1.3B breakthrough generates power for 60,000 years—using materials we throw away. What experts call 'the energy revolution that will reshape global power': 🧵
