Angered by the Democratic leadership’s fecklessness and lack of a bold vision for the future,
a group of senators including Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts
has formed an alliance to push back on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and the party’s campaign arm ahead of next year’s critical midterm elections.
The “Fight Club” is pressing the Democratic Party to
“embrace candidates willing to challenge entrenched corporate interests,

UK Government wants to remove the right to jury trials. Constitutionally terrible, etc, but
During my jury service, I only saw the inside of the waiting room, not the court room. Every case I was assigned to had the defendant plead guilty just before the case was about to start.
I can't tell if this is part of a defence strategy, or just a side-effect of scheduling, where the trail date is when the defence and client are actually in the same place.
I'd fix that fir…

I'm so glad Copilot-generated commit messages are an opt-out feature on GitHub. I've always wanted to start typing and then have my stuff completely obliterated by sluggish LLM slop I didn't ask for.

Auch spannend: wie bewerten wir die überörtlichen Leistungen von Dörfern und Städten für die Gemeinschaft?
Mit der Frage geht natürlich auch einher, wie Gelder verteilt werden.
Dazu zwei Gedanken:
- Kommunen, egal ob Dörfer oder Städte, verdienen mehr Geld vom Bund. Was sie leisten ist viel dichter an den Menschen.
- regionale Zentren - das sind meistens die Städte - leisten mehr als nur für ihre eigenen Einwohner*innen. Sie versorgen meist auch das Umland mit.

A panel on bitcoin treasury companies.
Because investment law makes it hard for institutions to buy bitcoin in their funds. You can't own BTC in you tax free ISA. So some companies that do hold bitcoin, notably microstrategy, became proxy investments. If you can't hold BTC you could maybe own a company that owns BTC instead.
Microstrategy started because it's ceo realized it's dollar treasury was being debased by dollar printing. So tried buying BTC instead, with fantastic success.
Copycat companies proliferated. They boomed and then busted. One panelist calls that a grift. A way to memeticly pump share price.
A line can be drawn between profitable companies just storing their profit in bitcoin Vs those raising debt to buy without having a profitable business.
Imagine a world transiting from using seashells for money to using gold coins. A company gathers seashells from investors to buy gold coins, which will do better than sea shells. Trouble is the next step where the company pays back it's investors with... More seashells.
If you own shares in the company, you do not own bitcoin. You'll just get more old fashioned bank money.
Still. It's worked as marketing, more people being convinced BTC has value.
If you do buy a treasury company, check it's bitcoin not "digital assets" including shitcoins.

Michail Chkhikvishvili,
a self-described cult leader who called himself “Commander Butcher”,
did not look like a Hollywood vision of a contemporary terrorist,
despite the bizarre, almost made-for-TV extremist actions he planned,
such as having people dressed as Santa Claus hand out poison candies on the streets of New York.
Chkhikvishvili appeared in a Brooklyn court last week as one might find an office IT tech:
close-cropped hair and black-rimmed glasses…
