1. The "Focus" (or Focus Group) was an informal pressure and influence group (anti-appeasement group) in 1930s Britain (around 1935-1937), which rallied around Winston Churchill with the aim of combating the policy of appeasement towards Nazi Germany and promoting rearmament.
2. The main financiers and supporters of this group were:
Sir Henry Edouard Strakosch
Sir Robert Waley Cohen
Eugen Spier
Robert Mond
Bernard Baruch
Victor Rothschild, 3rd Baron Rothschild

With the age-old argument, 'Derry or Londonderry' in the news again, it may be worth pointing out some history.
The whole reason for London being prefixed to Derry was a colonial construct linked to London companies brought here to take land & extract wealth.

Trump, Kushner & Co planning their 'Gaza Riviera' has shocked many, with a view that it's newfound colonialism.
But those grotesque plans are straight out of Britain's dusty colonial playbook. Corporations and imperialism go hand-in-hand.

Look at The Honourable Irish Society (originally known as the London Company or London Society)—a consortium of companies from the English capital, hence renaming Derry in 1613.
The Society was similar in structure to the East India Company and the Virginia Company in America.

I have called for the full release of the Epstein files. I have provided a sworn statement of what I know. And just this week, I’ve agreed to appear in person before the committee. But it’s still not enough for Republicans on the House Oversight Committee.
Now, Chairman Comer says he wants cameras, but only behind closed doors. Who benefits from this arrangement? It’s not Epstein’s victims, who deserve justice. Not the public, who deserve the truth. It serves only partisan interests. This is not fact-finding, it’s pure politics.
I will not sit idly as they use me as a prop in a closed-door kangaroo court by a Republican Party running scared. If they want answers, let’s stop the games & do this the right way: in a public hearing, where the American people can see for themselves what this is really about.
I'm going to make a falsifiable prediction that will either make me look brilliant or destroy my credibility:
The traditional 60/40 portfolio will experience a 25%+ drawdown before the end of 2027.
Here's my exact reasoning: 🧵
The traditional 60/40 portfolio will experience a 25%+ drawdown before the end of 2027.
Here's my exact reasoning: 🧵
First, what counts as "traditional 60/40"?
60% U.S. stocks (S&P 500 or similar)
40% U.S. investment-grade bonds (10yr+ duration)
Rebalanced quarterly
This is the benchmark for $18 trillion in assets.
60% U.S. stocks (S&P 500 or similar)
40% U.S. investment-grade bonds (10yr+ duration)
Rebalanced quarterly
This is the benchmark for $18 trillion in assets.
The setup is already in place:
Current environment:
S&P at ~6,000 (elevated valuations)
10-year yields at 4.5%
Stock-bond correlation at +0.33
Inflation running 3%+ (above target)
Fiscal deficits $1T+ annually
We're one catalyst away from crisis.

Just attended @every's OpenClaw Camp. Mind-blowing insights from @nateliason and his AI sidekick @FelixCraftAI. Here's what I learned 🧵:
1/ OpenClaw gets better the more you use it: It starts off feeling like a typical AI agent (pretty bland). But as it builds up memory through ongoing interactions, it becomes much more personalized. OpenClaw is especially good at this due to its memory-saving system.
2/ Build context over time: You shouldn't have it do complex things right at the beginning. Instead, build up lots of context over a long time; that way, it knows you really well and can handle tasks more effectively with that deep understanding.
We were taught that truth is the best weapon.
That if people have access to facts, they'll figure it out.
This turned out to be completely, dangerously wrong

Information is no longer scarce: everyone has access to it. The Kremlin understood this sooner than most. Unlike Pravda in Soviet times, they don't see hiding facts as the biggest priority — instead, they flood you with versions of events until you start drowning in them.

This is not to say censorship in Russia isn't brutal — it absolutely is, and people spend years in prison for speaking out. It's just not the regime's most important tool. They do silence dissent, but what makes the real difference is what they amplify and how they frame it.

Everyones using ChatGPT for content writing. Meanwhile Claude is quietly outperforming it on every platform.
I switched 3 months ago and my engagement jumped 340% across all socials.
The secret isnt Claude itself. Its the 10 prompts that make it write like an actual human, not a corporate robot.
Here they are: 🧵

Here they are: 🧵
1. The Coffee Shop Test
Prompt:
"Write this like you're explaining it to a friend over coffee. No marketing speak. No corporate jargon. Just straight talk about [topic]. If it sounds like a LinkedIn post, rewrite it."
Claude actually gets this. ChatGPT still sounds like it's pitching a SaaS product.

2. Voice Finder
Prompt:
"Give me 5 different ways to say this same idea. Make each one sound like a different person wrote it - one cynical, one excited, one skeptical, one matter-of-fact, one surprised."
This is how I find MY voice. Pick the version that feels most natural, then Claude refines it.

@SahanJournal You really should report precisely what the person’s status is.
The article seems to use “refugee” and “asylum seeker” interchangeably.
They have different legal meanings in this context.

@SahanJournal If she “immigrated legally to the United States,” why doesn’t she have her green card?
Perhaps because she didn’t “immigrate legally to the United States.”
Precision in your reporting is needed.

I will be enthusiastically supporting faculty legislation to cap the number of A's at Harvard at 20% (plus a bit). The collective action problem that has driven grades higher & higher over time is increasingly problematic. I hope other institutions consider similar steps.
I've talked to numerous colleagues & students about grade inflation. Almost all of them see it as a a problem. I've also heard about as many different ideas for solutions as I've had conversations. I would tweak this proposal in various ways. But would support it over nothing.
One place the current system fails--and it's not the only place--is honors. I'm on the Committee to recommend honors in the economics department. It's increasingly hard to distinguish excellence with so many A's. I believe that now even two A-'s makes you ineligible for Summa.

@NBCNews aired a 10-minute “video investigation” into Israel’s military accountability.
It spent 9 seconds on Oct. 7 — the event that started the war.
Here’s how the rest of the story was built.

Here’s how the rest of the story was built.
Out of 606 seconds, NBC devoted 9 seconds to Oct. 7.
The words "tunnels" and "hostages" were never mentioned.
Everything that followed was framed without that context.

Take away Oct. 7, tunnels, and hostages and the war stops making sense.
