I'm excited to announce I'll be launching a new NFT to sell something vague. Due to forthcoming user feedback and the stupidity of the idea, I have decided to preemptively cancel the project. I now hold the WR for the shortest time between announcing NFT garbage and cancelling it
I normally like the Intercept, but this type of news is clickbait rubbish. There's a very well known trade off between inflation and unemployment. It's a shitty trade-off, in which you have to choose between price stability or low unemployment. Can't have both. (cont.)

The biggest danger is that people start expecting high inflation. Then, it can remain very persistent, even if economic growth slows down and unemployment is higher. Worst case scenario, as we get the worst of two worlds, rather than just a bad trade off

Insanity. What an awful attack on women's rights.

"MUH PROFITS". So sick of this take.
Takes all of 3 seconds to google the data. Just check your local bureau of labour statistics. Almost as if total pay is growing unusually quickly, next to a big pile of problems affecting prices. ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabo…
Weird how inflation is going up when nobody’s had a pay rise yet. Almost as if it’s driven by profits

Streaming will probably be a bit sparse this week and the coming week. Just started new work, and still finding my bearings. Also got Rotterdam Marathon coming up, to keep me even busier! Nevertheless, expect to see plenty of GTA3 runs (and perhaps some VC learning) soon

This would've probably been the sub 5h run, if not for a silly input accident that made the game crash! Shame to lose a run like this, but it still feels like there's tons more time to come off.

Wow, this is big news. The previous UN condemnation of the invasion had no impact whatsoever. In contrast, this court order will have no impact whatsoever! A real game changer.

Bit sick atm, but hopefully I can get a decent run going.
Would be amazing if we'd extend this kind of policy to all refugees, and not only our close neighbours. NB: Most refugees end up in neighbouring countries. Overwhelming majority doesn't even come to the West, but too many that do get sent away.
