More of #JudgeKemp's contrary findings. Kemp says Dr Upton's evidence is preferred because Dr Upton did not falsely claim Sandie Peggie was guilty of harassment. But ignores Dr Upton lied and falsely accused Sandie Peggie of abandoning a patient in resus. shorturl.at/LVoKj
Here J Kemp states Upton in testimony 'expected Peggie to undertake normal observations of a patient in resus', but then states in fact Sandie asked Dr U to do them. Upton didn't claim this at the time but later tried to make out Peggie had compromised patient safety. #JudgeKemp
Judge Kemp states Dr Upton did not in fact raise an issue of harassment by Sandie Peggie at tribunal. Again Kemp unbelievably prefers the evidence of Dr U even though he has lied. Peggie did not abandon a patient. Dr U changed his story under oath! Kemp declares "Some aspects of
Our modern culture, has totally lost the plot. We have lost all perspective in the hierarchy, of serious risks to our societies and civilization. The defining issue, should be the climate and ecological crisis. as this will determine everything in the near future.
I had been meaning to write this thread for some time, but this very confused article about UBI, Universal Basic Income, and AI, prompted me to write it now.
"Maybe we can keep humanity alive via redistribution. Machines that don’t require workers could produce enormous amounts of output, so it might be easy to raise the money for the UBIs of the future."
In this vision of the future, AI will put most people out of work, and we will need some way of providing income to those who no longer have jobs.
It's what I call, a mainstream economist view, where economists imagine the future as being a continuation of the American, and Western economy, as if the climate and ecological crisis, does not exist.
This is because all but a handful of enlightened economists, have got absolutely no grasp of what the climate and ecological crisis means for us, as they are totally lacking in any relevant knowledge about this.

“There are now no non-radical futures. The choice is between immediate and profound social change or waiting a little longer for chaotic and violent social change. In 2023 the window for this choice is rapidly closing.” Professor Kevin Anderson, leading climate scientist @KevinClimate
I keep using this quote from Prof Kevin Anderson, because it perfectly sums up this situation, and he is a leading climate scientist.
I have my own framing of this situation, which is much older, and wider, but I am not a highly published leading climate scientist, so I am saying, don't take my word for it, listen to this.
The whole problem, and this is the real crisis, not say anthropogenic climate change ACC itself, is that there is profound denial about what this, and several degrees Centigrade of warming, actually means for us.
Even many climate scientists, cannot get their head around what this means. They cannot grasp that the economic model, industrial capitalism, or whatever you want to call it, and the societies and economies it gave rise to, are over. What we have done, makes the future, radically different, no matter what route we chose.

The future that no longer exists, is the financial economy, the financial markets, big business, billionaires and oligarchs, big consumer society. It's over. Sure, we can try carrying on with it and big business. Maybe the illusion that this can continue, could carry on for a couple more decades, and I am being very optimist here. But I can absolutely guarantee, that even if we get 15-20 years into the future, in one piece, that by then, no one will think it can last much longer.
As @KevinClimate says, either we radically change our societies now, or we will have this radically change, imposed on us, when Business as Usual BaU, implodes.

Watching The Nutcracker again last night with my Mom and my family, something struck me that I’d never really focused on before.
The story isn’t about fantasy.
It’s about who controls value — and who lives downstream of it.

It’s about who controls value — and who lives downstream of it.
In old Europe (and Russia especially), wealth didn’t move.
Lords owned land.
Peasants provided labor.
Value was extracted upward — and risk stayed at the bottom.
There was no mobility. Only inheritance.

That’s why the Nutcracker fantasy matters.
It imagines a world where:
• rigid hierarchies break
• transformation is possible
• power shifts through courage and intelligence, not birthright
That idea was radical when the story was written.

The IDF and its genocidal supporters are the most antisemitic instrument on earth

Outside of occasionally winning scheduled elections, it turns out that unleashing freedom of speech and allowing the masses to vent their frustrations with bad governance at maximal intensity has no discernible effect on governance quality, and may even worsen it due to spite.
There is not enough analysis or even awareness of the feedback loops that inform the month-to-month decision-making by the Western governing classes in bureaucracies. They clearly seem to close ranks and deliberately intensify unpopular policies in response to populist pressure.
This is the exact reverse of the "vox populi, vox dei" theory that maybe populist rhetoric and pressure will at least nudge governance in the right direction. There are also bizarre outcomes like the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 totally deflating pandemic restrictions.
pairs trading for dickheads
when an online “kwant trader” starts writing about pairs trading i usually want to stab myself in the dick.
but, since i am both an enormous hypocrite and a better writer than the rest of you, i am going to talk about pairs trading today.

i’m going to tell you what pairs trading is.
and why and when it works.
and why and when it doesn’t work.
we’re going to run through a simple example. and i’m going to give you everything you need to trade it yourself, with nothing more than tradingview and a pair of hands.

Those white flakes on your eyebrows & scalp aren't just 'dry skin'...
Your cells are 'dying' 4x faster than normal.
Here's what's actually causing it (and how to fix it in 4 steps): 🧵

Here's what's actually causing it (and how to fix it in 4 steps): 🧵
A fungus called Malassezia Globosa lives on everyone's scalp.
It feeds on sebum (your scalp's natural oil) and produces oleic acid as a byproduct.
1 in 2 people react to this byproduct.
As a result, they form visible flakes over their scalp & eyebrows.

These flakes are also known as dandruff.
50% of Americans have this condition.
So the demand for the solutions is high.
However, there’s a trap:
Modern “anti-dandruff” shampoos contain harsh sulfates that strip ALL oil from your scalp.

Perpetual Acts of God - Between Al-Razi' (R) Immutability Principle and Ibn Taymiyyah’s (R) Dynamic Eternality ~

1 In his commentary on the Isharat of Ibn Sina, al-Razi denied the possibility of temporary events existing in God’s essence:
2 “A contingent (temporal) thing cannot subsist in the eternal.” His reasoning, underpinned by traditional Ashari metaphysics, was 'if something comes into existence after not existing, it implies change and change is the opposite of a necessary being.'
3 Eg If motion, rest, or other contingent attributes were to exist in the Divine Essence, then the Essence would be subject to temporal origination (huduth). But that 'which is subject to origination is not eternal (qadim).
