Just saw a toot about the #brexit and I only remember one thing from that time:
I admitted that I don't have much clue in international politics - but when Trump AND Putin said that the Brexit was a good thing, I knew that it was very likely to be bad for the EU and the UK.

We need to talk about our fossil fuel addiction: UNEP chief
"Off Target," "Broken Record," "Closing Window": the UN Environment Program's flagship reports have been warning for years that emissions must fall faster to avoid dangerous climate impacts—but is the world listening?

So they are bailed with conditions, presumably to not do it again while on bail. And I'm betting that the "investigation" will be quietly dropped once #Trump is safely out of the country.

Golf lesson: Study shows political polarization hurts performance at work
Few workers face more scrutiny than professional athletes. Every movement is measured, every outcome quantified, and every performance evaluated against objective standards. So when UC Berkeley Haas researcher Tim Sels wondered how America's deepening political polarization was affecting workers' performance, he turned to one of the most comprehensive data sets on individual human performance: the PGA Tour.
