Cursed is the age in which the old are not wise.
55% of Britons strong support £2 bus fare cap - predictably support is lowest at 44% amongst Pensioners with free bus passes.
There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the unchecked degeneracy of a korean bid.
South Korea has an adult population (aged 15–64) of 35.7 million people.
1 in 30 (3.4%) adults got margin called.
🏴 Happy 1099th Birthday England 🏴
On 12th July, 927AD, King Æthelstan secured control over the last Viking kingdom of Northumbria and united the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms under one ruler, becoming the first King of a united England.
Terrible day for Norway.

I think everyone’s getting a little over excited at resistance on eth, which is fine because this will eventually be a great entry point for 20k eth this cycle anyway, but I do think you’ll have a few more chances to buy it lower than this
If you’re sidelined worth buying just in case, but if you have a bit already and waiting to add more for the generational agentic stablecoin fuelled bull run, you still have time

.@VitalikButerin has argued for years: transparent proofs over trusted setups, STARKs for post-quantum security, formal verification and a trusted base shrunk toward nothing.
We built exactly that but at the operating system layer.
NØNOS is a microkernel where:
a) the proofs run the real code that ships, not a model. If the two diverge, the build breaks. 134 Lean theorems, 0 sorry. 25 Verus proofs on the actual Rust. 48 Kani harnesses over every input.
b) the crypto is a from-scratch transparent post-quantum STARK. Goldilocks field, Poseidon and FRI, hash and integers only. No elliptic curve. No trusted setup.
c) the STARK verifier's own soundness is proven in Lean before it is allowed to gate a capsule spawn.

Tightening right at $1, chart’s coiling like a spring. This mfer about to send hard
While we’re building robinhood chain to be the best chain for RWA … it works great for memes too
Unclear if Farage has done anything wrong (feels like Whitehall establishment will do anything to stop @reformparty_uk as per @Dominic2306), however the by-election is farcical.
Interestingly, there is precedent to refuse it and let the investigation run its course.
Probably the better option.

Interesting historical example relevant to Farage's attempt to trigger a by-election.
In 1856, James Sadleir MP was charged with fraud, and absconded from justice.
Other MPs then sought to have him expelled from the House...

Artistic expression of any kind is important because it breaks the autopilot rhythm of our daily lives
I’m not reminded of this enough
We don’t have to make every issue into a culture war.
The UK government’s job is to make sensible, evidence-based policy decisions that serve the British people and the country in the long-term.
On certain issues where the voting constituency is cautious or unconvinced, but that are hugely important for our future, this may involve selling the policy to the country, not playing to the mob.
This is known as leadership.
Energy policy has been poisoned by this for too long.
AI and tech are heading the same way.
Time to grow up.

‘Cancel culture’ is a myth. So is the idea that the political right is under siege.

Last PM that didn’t live in No 10 was Harold Wilson, interestingly also the last time we had to call in the IMF
🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham reportedly has no plans to live in No 10 and will remain at his home in Manchester
It would make him the first PM since Harold Wilson not to live in No 10
Something good is happening at this World Cup.
The Scots turned up. The English turned up. The Norwegians turned up. They sang their songs, got stuck in, and the Americans loved them for it. Glasgow and Boston are getting twinned off the back of it.
For 30 years we’ve been told to view the US as some sort of Great Satan — all imperialism and orange-man clichés. Not everyone buys it of course, but enough do.
And then Europeans actually go, and find a place that feels familiar. Makes sense to them. A bit richer, a bit further ahead, but recognisably ours. Settled by Europeans, still deeply European in its bones.
There’s a gathering-of-the-clans feeling to it. Old neighbours discovering they still like the same songs, the same drink, the same daft humour, and genuinely enjoying each other’s company.
None of it’s a surprise, really. It’s just been buried under so much politics that we forgot we were allowed to enjoy it.
Good to be reminded.
