A huge thanks to @ZackPolanski and the rest of the @TheGreenParty for restoring sanity and humanity, to British politics, and ignoring the received wisdom, that no politician or party can say positive things, or it is political suicide.

As we can see now, and @ZackPolanski has exposed Keir Starmer for the fraud he is, in claiming that his nasty authoritarian, anti-people policy, was a political necessity. No it was a choice of Starmer, and the regressive forces he represents.

@ZackPolanski has done a marvellous job in interviews on mainstream TV of being level-headed, in answering the attempts to trip him up, in an intelligent and persuasive way. I think the attacks and smears are backfiring, because people do not see what they are being told.

๐จBREAKING: AI can now analyze mutual funds like Morningstar analysts (for free).
Here are 12 insane Claude prompts that replace $500/month fund research subscriptions (Save for later)
Here are 12 insane Claude prompts that replace $500/month fund research subscriptions (Save for later)
1. The Morningstar Fund X-Ray Analyzer
"You are a senior fund analyst at Morningstar who writes the gold-standard mutual fund research reports used by financial advisors managing $5T+ in combined client assets.
I need a complete X-ray analysis of a mutual fund or ETF that reveals everything hidden beneath the surface.
X-Ray:
- Fund overview: strategy, benchmark, inception date, and total assets under management
- Expense ratio analysis: how much I'm paying vs category average and the dollar cost on my investment over 10 years
- Holdings breakdown: top 10 holdings with percentage weight and what they tell me about the fund's true strategy
- Sector allocation: percentage in each sector compared to the benchmark and what tilts reveal about manager bets
- Geographic exposure: domestic vs international split and any hidden country concentration risk
- Market cap breakdown: large cap, mid cap, small cap allocation vs what the fund name implies
- Style box placement: growth, value, or blend positioning with drift analysis over the last 5 years
- Overlap analysis: how much this fund duplicates holdings I might already own in other funds
- Manager tenure and track record: how long the current manager has run this fund and their performance vs peers
- Morningstar-style star rating estimate: 1-5 stars based on risk-adjusted return relative to category
Format as a Morningstar-style fund analysis report with a summary snapshot box, holdings tables, and a clear buy/hold/sell recommendation.
The fund: [ENTER FUND NAME OR TICKER SYMBOL AND ANY OTHER FUNDS IN YOUR PORTFOLIO FOR OVERLAP ANALYSIS]"

2. The Vanguard Cost Impact Calculator
"You are a senior investment analyst at Vanguard who has spent 20 years proving that fees are the single biggest predictor of long-term fund performance and educating investors on the true cost of expensive funds.
I need a complete fee analysis showing exactly how much my fund expenses are costing me in lost wealth.
Calculate:
- Current expense ratio: what I'm paying annually expressed as both a percentage and a dollar amount
- Category comparison: how my fund's fee ranks against the cheapest, average, and most expensive in its category
- 10-year fee drag: total dollars lost to fees over 10 years on my investment assuming average market returns
- 20-year compounding impact: how fees compound against me over two decades with exact dollar projections
- Low-cost alternative comparison: the cheapest index fund or ETF that does essentially the same thing
- Switching savings: exact dollar amount I'd save over 10 and 20 years by moving to the cheaper alternative
- Hidden costs beyond expense ratio: transaction costs, soft dollars, and cash drag that don't appear in the fee
- Tax efficiency comparison: how turnover rate creates taxable events that add hidden cost on top of the expense ratio
- Load and sales charge analysis: front-end, back-end, and 12b-1 fees I might be paying without realizing
- Total cost of ownership: add up every visible and hidden cost into one true annual number
Format as a Vanguard-style fee impact report with side-by-side cost comparison tables and a 20-year wealth projection chart description.

1/ Images show a damaged LNG carrier with a ruptured hull and clear ignition. Before speculation, it helps to understand how LNG actually behaves โ and why such events are extremely rare.
@Osinttechnical thereโs also something few have heard of: Rapid Phase Transition (RPT)

2/ LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) is mostly methane stored at about โ162 ยฐC. In liquid form it cannot burn or explode because combustion requires gas mixed with air. You will soon learn something, which you might have ever head of. The RPT issue
3/ When LNG is released from containment it rapidly boils as it warms. The liquid expands roughly 600ร in volume as it becomes methane gas.
Over 20 years, 2,315 healthy Finnish men (ages 42โ60) were carefully tracked to study how regular sauna use impacted their health.
It was discovered men who used it 4โ7 times per week had a 66% lower risk of dementia.

2,315 Finnish men were split into 3 groups based on how often they used a traditional Finnish sauna (dry air):

An independent committee reviewed all potential dementia cases to confirm each diagnosis.
Due to this, the results are correlation, not causation.
But it's still hard to ignore.

We wrote last week about "Empower the People", a weird UK group that claims to get the US tax authorities to refund all your UK credit card spending.
Incredibly the IRS sometimes sends the cheques. That doesn't stop it being - obviously - fraud.

They sell another scheme that will magically make your mortgage go away. It works by writing mean letters demanding ยฃ39m from the Land Registry and its CEO
In theory that could be blackmail or fraud; in practice it's just daft, and we suspect the letters are all binned.

@MarkwayneMullin 1/24 You are a fucking SLIMY, LYING bastard. You will LIE to your deathbed and would probably trade your mother for Trump. You are a COWARD, pure and simple. A poll was taken that asked voters who they wanted to lead the next Congress It was Democrats 61%,
2/24 Republicans 39%...and YES, they were Republican voters as well. You spineless cowards won't do SHIT about what Trump is doing. Instead of offering solutions or help to hurting Americans, you go into Trump is finding fraud (TOTAL bullshit...we have seen NO proof of this) and
3/24 they are saving BILLIONS of dollars. BULLSHIT. And let me tell YOU since you are so fucking stupid, walking around with a orange, tan stain on your lips...Vladimir Putin is NOT afraid of Trump. Not in the least bit. What he thinks is "What a pathetic weak, little man...all I

These headlines are astonishing. And it's worth asking why nothing like this emerged in 1990 or 1993 or 1996 or 2000 or 2005 or 2006? The answers tell us a lot about what's wrong with the way international community's approach to Arab-Israeli diplomacy is so fatally flawed.

In each of those crucial turning points, the intervention of the UN, various NGO's, and all sorts of diplomatic "experts" sought to prevent a decisive conclusion and instead helped Hezbollah maintain its state-within-a-state status. Peacekeeping became conflict entrenching.
2/8
2/8
The routine is familiar from other fronts, but it has none of the emotional resonances of, say, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, so it's easier to see just how counterproductive the basic framework and its assumptions are.
