"Sbohem": Farewell!
For anyone out there outside of ΔR who cares, @CzechAirlinesCZ in a few days flies its very last flight, having been well-&-truly bought up and set aside as an enterprise;

No evidence of this at all; quite the opposite!
- British officials scramble to get anyone to talk with in Brussels incl. PM @keir_starmer recently trying to meet @vonderleyen;
- EU ready to impose stringent conditions for any UK re-join e.g. euro adoption theguardian.com/business/202β¦

From #Netherlands main biz paper: "In an election yr w/few debates, the one btwn Vance & Walz can be decisive"
No. No it cannot. It's but a sideshow.
In een verkiezingsjaar met weinig debatten kan die tussen Vance en Walz beslissend zijn fd.nl/politiek/1532427/in-eeβ¦

My only surprise is that Trump-the-Grifter didn't alrdy pre-empt them with this!
Altho if they're truly "Trump-themed" you know he's receiving some sort of $$ in licensing
The rifle is the same model used in an attempt on the former president's life two months ago. on.ft.com/4dsHWar

Go to the 2:00 mark here for what is likely *exclusive* reporting re: #China provinces finding much-needed revenue by arresting entrepreneurs on trumped-up charges, only releasing them for payment (= the "shocking ... story")
Today on #China Update we discuss a shocking local fiscal pressure story, China's economy, Taiwan tensions, & Japan-China relations:

Why not forget "[Human] Health," just EU Commissioner for Animal Welfare? #Hungary deserves no such post at all, or at best a laughably non-serious portfolio;
Still, note: "The announcement ... was greeted with muffled laughter from ... the press room" telex.hu/english/2024/09/17/β¦

Yes: do it!
Note from the text: @EU_Commission has written #Hungary govt twice WHY it has started providing a hole into #Schengen for #Russia #Belarus, has yet to receive reply telex.hu/english/2024/09/19/β¦

Oh how niceπ! @colbertlateshow wishes @jimmyfallon happy 50th - and sends copy of his latest (cook)book! (vid is cued)
I'm sure Jimmy won't wait to reciprocate by sending Stephen HIS latest (children's) book!

WashingtonDC suburb @APSVirginia schools introduce policy: students must give up smartphones during school day;
This student has an objection: Phones might well be needed, e.g. during school shootings for them to send last good-byes to their parents! washingtonpost.com/educationβ¦

Don't believe this: For one thing, Trump's own E-security expert declared the 2020 election "the most secure ever"; any perceived "chaos" was solely due to bad actors from the Trump side seeking to make it that way in their efforts to overturn the results thetimes.com/world/us-world/β¦
