"Since peaking on July 10th, the market cap of the Magnificent 7 stocks has dropped a mind-numbering $2 trillion.

And the biggest three week underperformance of Nasdaq vs Small Caps since the very peak of the DotCom bubble."

"Matt Driscoll, a 43-year-old columnist and opinion editor for The News Tribune (TNT), died unexpectedly at his Tacoma home this Sunday.

It was reported that he had received a COVID-19 vaccination.

In recent times, Driscoll had been vocal about NFL star Aaron Rodgers’ controversial views on COVID-19 vaccines. He accused Rodgers of engaging in “performance art” after the latter warned people about potential side effects of mRNA vaccines."

Mmhmm...

"when champagne sales drop, as they have in 2024 across the globe, the experts start asking why people are less cheerful.

The CFO of luxury holdings company LVMH, which owns brands like Louis Vuitton and Moët et Chandon, believes it has to do with consumers feeling happy enough to celebrate.

‘Champagne is quite linked with celebration, happiness, et cetera.'

‘Maybe the current global situation, be it geopolitical or macroeconomic, does not lead people to cheer up and to open bottles of Champagne. I don't really know,' Guiony said."

"A teenager has been charged in connection with a train derailment that occurred in Lancaster County, Nebraska earlier this year. The 17-year-old , who was arrested on Wednesday, faces two counts of criminal mischief over $5,000, both class IV felonies.

He is accused of having deliberately flipped a switch to derail the train in order to capture the ensuing carnage that caused $350,000 in damages. Film of the carnage was later posted on a YouTube channel believed to belong to the teen where it was called it the “MOST INSANE VIDEO I’VE EVER TAKEN!”"

Evrópusambandið heldur áfram að sóa pening í vitleysu

"Politico quotes an unnamed diplomat who says that “Everything that costs anything — for example, Ukraine defense,” will prove “problematic” during von der Leyen’s second term. While von der Leyen is throwing around figures like 500 billion over the next decade, another diplomat said, “We didn’t see spreadsheets, we didn’t see details, this is pie in the sky money.”

EU leaders are determined to reimpose austerity on bloc countries beginning in 2025. That’s a return to the annual limits of 3 percent of GDP for public deficits and 60 percent for public debt, which were suspended in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

These rules will make it close to impossible to spend more on defense without completely cutting social services to the bone.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, childishly reprimanded by the EU for talking peace with world leaders, keeps warning about the levels of delusion in Brussels. His latest in a Magyar Nemzet op-ed:

The Brussels bureaucrats want this war, they see it as their own, and they want to defeat Russia. They keep sending the money of the European people to Ukraine, they have shot European companies in the foot with sanctions, they have driven up inflation and they have made making a living difficult for millions of European citizens."

Pan Xiaoting, from China, died last week from a suspected stomach tear while gorging on 10kg (22lbs) of food, including what appeared to be chocolate cake.

Autopsy results revealed that her stomach had become severely deformed and filled with undigested food, suggesting that her stomach could have burst, causing stomach acid and food to leak into her abdomen."

Sumir hafa bara ekki ímyndunarafl

"Last week’s global IT outage appears to have shaken some British media outlets’ confidence in the idea of a fully cashless society.

This is one of the most important arguments in favour of cash: the resilience it provides to a country’s overarching payments system. Put another way, cash does not crash. It does not fail in a power cut or seize up during a cyber attack or software outage (though, of course, ATMs might). By contrast, digital payment systems generally need a stable and continuous internet connection and power supply to process transactions.

This is a lesson central bankers in Sweden, one of the world’s most cashless economies, are apparently relearning. From our recent piece, “The World’s Oldest Central Bank Keeps Sounding Alarm on Fragility of Cashless Economies. Are Other Central Banks Listening?”"

Það er meira sem mælir með reiðufé.  Ef þið hugsið...

Stríð er alltaf valið í stað friðar

Þórdís landþjófur gefur slæm ráð að vanda

"Í kjöl­farið ít­rekaði ut­an­rík­is­ráðuneytið niður­stöðuna og sagði her­setu Ísra­els ólög­lega.

Þór­dís Kol­brún Reyk­fjörð Gylfa­dótt­ir ut­an­rík­is­ráðherra seg­ir fyrst og fremst skipta máli að ná fram vopna­hléi á svæðinu."

Já, einmitt. "Hættið að berjast við fólkið sem ætlar að útrýma ykkur, og leifið því að jafna sig svo það geti reynt aftur," segir hernaðarséníið.

Vararíkissaksóknari hefur augljóslega stungið á sérlega stórt og rotið graftarkýli, og eins og venjulega þegar slíkt er gert vellur út illa lyktandi gröftur.

Ástæður óeirðanna í Leeds:

"Social services and police remove children from an imported family, clearly a safeguarding issue.

So the other imported families, to prove they're respectable and responsible, burn down the area.

The police are so scared of being labelled racist they are literally willing to let the country burn."

Tilviljun?  Það veit ég ekki.

Kínverjar mæla eindregið með JD Vance

"“Vance’s speech displays a clear inward or insular tendency, reflecting his aversion to economic globalization,” the state outlet explained, citing “expert” Professor Diao Daming, a regular commentator for the Times. “Vance’s remarks also indicate that some Republicans continue to strongly advocate for the continuation of strategic competition with China, with a more pronounced confrontational stance.”

Another regularly cited Global Times “expert,” researcher Lü Xiang, lamented that Vance was promoting what is becoming an “increasingly intense … attitude towards containing China.” Lü warned that confronting China’s vast amount of threatening activity – from intellectual property theft to monopolization of global manufacturing to genocide, slavery, and colonization – would threaten “global peace and development.”"

Svona lof er sjaldséð.

Óeirðir í London vegna óeirða í Bangladesh

Smá óeirðir í Bangladesh

"Bangladesh has been rocked by weeks of social unrest as thousands of university students protest against inequality, poverty, and the lack of job security in the South Asian country. The unrest worsened this week, forcing the government to shut down the nation's internet service to prevent further student organizing and unrest."

Eiginlega það sama:

Kommúnisti reynir að þagga niðri í ríkissaksóknara

"„Þetta er rökvilla 101. Þegar þú tekur eitt einstakt tilvik af einum manni og heimfærir það sísvona upp á hóp fólks."

Það er reyndar orðið deinum ljósara að þetta á algerlega við um allan hópinn: 

"Við höfum lent í miklum vandræðum með Palestínumenn. Á þriðjudaginn þá hótuðu þeir okkur. Ég ætla að fara heim til þín og ég veit ekki hvað og hvað. Við hringdum á lögregluna og þeir voru farnir tveir, ofboðslega grimmir menn. Við erum búin að þola þetta í nokkur ár en við höfum aldrei talað um þetta."

Í NOKKUR ÁR.

Og þegar hún nefnir þetta byrjar skríllinn að vilja þagga niðri í henni með sama ruglinu og venjulega:

"Við erum búin að þola þetta í nokkur ár en eins og andinn er í þjóðfélaginu þá hefur maður ekki viljað segja frá því, því að þegar eitthvað er sagt í sambandi við útlendinga er maður bara stimplaður sem rasisti og er algjörlega hogginn í spað á netinu."

 

En aftur að kommúnistanum:

"Oddur [...] telur að um hatursorðræðu sé að ræða."

Hatursorðræða?  Það er kommúnista bullshit sem gjaldfellir alla hans orðræðu og flettir ofan af hverskyns illsku hann er að reyna að kalla yir okkur.

Ritskoðun, almenna þöggun, yfirhylmingu allskonar glæpa, og hreint afnám allra mannréttinda.

Unbelievably, all five of the tourists managed to survive being fully submerged in near-boiling water.

They were flown by helicopter to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries."
