    The Business/Finance/Economics Thread

    It looks like Trump Media's bull run is already over. It's down around 8% today. Much like the man himself, I can't keep up with how quickly things happen to that stock.

    The Ollie Watkins Thread

    It would be better for us if they didn't play international football. Still, I'm sure they all want to play for England and it seems crazy to me that anyone would think Toney is better than Watkins at the moment.

    Yes, 6 months. By the end of September it will tank. How is GameStop profitable?

    WW3?

    Did we honour the agreements?

    WW3?

    It's a strange one. I can't think of an economic reason why the EU would want the poorest country in Europe with really terrible demographics (before the war) joining. Their GDP per capita was the same as Somalia before the war. It has to be much worse now.

    WW3?

    We agreed to two agreements (Minsk 1 and 2) saying that Ukraine wouldn't join NATO or the EU and the two eastern provinces would have some kind of federal government. We didn't honour either. Russia invaded after Zelensky started talking about joining NATO and the EU. If you back a rat into...

    We forced his hand.

    Jonah's Really REALLY Interesting Thread

    I'm teaching some kids phonics at the moment, doing a shift at the coalface of my business. It's very simple stuff but it has to be the most satisfying thing to teach anyone. One of the kids is delighted with herself because she can read Mr Men books by herself now. She believed she was too...

    WW3?

    Russia is a country of 150m people with an economy the size of the Netherlands. We don't need to be afraid of confronting them if necessary. Still, we should be working towards a strategic partnership with them. We need their gas and natural resources and they need our money. There is no...

    The Ollie Watkins Thread

    I think he's not bothered. I suspect his summer transfer is already done so he's just watching the clock until he can leave.

    The Politics Thread

    Owen Jones's video about why he quit Labour came up on my YouTube feed. I didn't watch it. I really hate how these influencer kinds have to make everything about them. I've no problem with him quitting Labour. My problem is with him acting as though he is leading a revolution and we are all...

    The Business/Finance/Economics Thread

    I had a quick look into shorting Truth Social. It turns out it's the most shorted SPAC in history. It's a bullshit business that can't sustain itself and is going to 0 as soon as Trump gets his money out. The Trump supporters know this and are trying to put a short squeeze on just like...

    WW3?

    How would you feel about putting British troops in Ukraine? Macron talked about putting boots on the ground a week or two ago. That seemed like a terrible idea to me but in Sweden, Poland and Finland, not so much. They figure that the Russians are going have to be fought somewhere along the...

    Someone in the US won $1.13bn on the lottery. I wonder what it's like to win so much money.

    The Matty Cash Thread

    And so many of them have been season enders. I've never seen anything like it. In most other seasons, we'd be looking relegation in the face having lost: Our only attacking midfielder Our star young midfielder The leader of our defence Our third best centre back Our best holding midfielder Our...
