Rising consumer energy debt coupled with suppliers not conforming with new capital adequacy rules shows that Ofgem is asleep at the wheel. New thread (1/n) Image
Consumer energy debt is rising. The amount outstanding for people under formal repayment arrangements rose to a record £1.1bn in 2Q25. Arrears past due for >91 days rose to £3.32bn, giving total debt of £4.43bn (2/n) Image
This is partially offset by £2.7bn of positive consumer balances, but of course this cannot be used to repay debt from other consumers. Positive balances are on a downwardtrend (3/n) Image

🧵 Do Sādhana Even When the Days Are Not Good

1. Anyone can pray when life is smooth.
The real test is remembering the Divine when the mind is burning. Image
2. The darkest days are not obstacles —
they are invitations to go deeper within.

3. Sādhana done in pain becomes Tapasya.
Tapasya done with sincerity becomes strength.
4. Even if your heart is heavy, sit.
Even if thoughts are loud, breathe.
Even if nothing feels right — continue

5. No day is too broken for Sādhana.
In fact, the broken days purify you the most.

1/ 🧵 𝙏𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙: 𝘼𝙌 𝙫𝙨 𝙄𝙎 𝘼𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨 𝘽𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙖𝙝𝙚𝙡 & 𝙇𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙙

Across the shrinking shores of Lake Chad and the wider Sahel, al-Qaeda and Islamic State factions are locked in a brutal fight. It's not about ideology, but power.
2/ Between 5-8 November, Boko Haram launched a rare cross-lake offensive.

Commanders Hassan Buduma and Mohd Hassan led dozens of fighters in motorised boats, firing heavy weapons as they stormed ISWAP-held islands occupied since 2021.
3/ The fighting was intense and largely onesided. Boko Haram reportedly overran multiple ISWAP bases, seizing seven boatloads of weapons. Only three ISWAP vessels escaped.

Survivors fled to mainland hideouts in Ali Jillimari, Metele, Kangarwa and Gudumbali in northern Borno 🇳🇬.

Fruitful diplomacy ahead. Sunday – visit to Greece and important agreement on natural gas imports. Monday – historic deal with France in Paris to strengthen our combat aviation and air defense. Tuesday – talks in Spain on bolstering our air defense and initiatives with partners.
Not a single day is wasted for Ukraine. Today, we have already prepared an agreement with Greece on gas for Ukraine, which will be another gas supply route to secure imports for the winter as much as possible.
A historic agreement has also been prepared with France – there will be a significant strengthening of our combat aviation, air defense, and other defense capabilities. According to the visit schedule, this will take place on Monday.

Important Benn Steil article on globalization, free trade, and the cost of underwriting both. He cites Wendell Willkie in 1944 as "recognizing how perilous it would be to integrate market economies with state-directed ones."

"When global prices fail to reflect supply-and-demand dynamics," Steil cites Willkie as arguing, "they distort production and trade flows, killing off more efficient enterprises, fueling imbalances, and breeding resentment."

This is a point I've often made, although in a different way, including in an upcoming piece in Foreign Affairs.

We start with the widely-recognized insight that every country's internal imbalances must always be perfectly consistent with its external imbalances.

Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime defender Alan Dershowitz is everywhere this week—NewsNation, Piers Morgan, Fox

The legacy media is downplaying Epstein like it’s 2008 again. Some of the survivors like Virginia Giuffre are no longer here to defend their truths against his attacks.
Let’s talk about what he’s actually saying.

ETA: took down the video clip of him yapping I had reposted originally because I can’t stand the loop on my feed 😅Image
2/
He was on NewsNation yesterday and that clip has been widely circulating.

“Epstein wasn’t a pedophile. He pleaded to sex with one 17-year-old for money.”

Reality check: Reality: the case started with a 14-year-old. Then over 36 other girls came forward. He helped craft the deal—13 months, work release. Epstein continued having young females visit him during “office work hours” for non business purposes. While a registered sex offender on work release.
Survivors call it a joke.

Daily Mail op-ed, Nov 14:

“These accusers aren’t all ‘victims.’ Calling them that assumes they’re telling the truth.” Image

Over 91% of traders in India ended FY25 in losses.

Before you jump into the stock market, read this carefully.

12 Things Every New Trader MUST Know: 🧵👇

Please bookmark this thread🔖
1/ Trading ≠ Investing

Trading is fast, emotional and skill-based. Investing is slow, steady and research-driven.
Don’t mix the two — your money will get confused too.
2/ Your first goal is NOT profit — it’s survival.

Most beginners blow up capital in the first 6–12 months. Your real edge early on is risk management, not strategy.

We keep talking about "Russian hybrid warfare" but what we are facing is a deliberate pincer designed to break states without ever declaring war.​ Four blades close simultaneously: institutional capture, disinformation & psyops, legal attacks, and physical acts of sabotage.​ 1/🧵
2/ First axis: institutional capture.​

Moscow cultivates political parties, media outlets, churches, business lobbies, and "cultural" fronts that gradually bend key nodes of our own systems toward Russian interests while retaining plausible deniability.
3/ This capture often runs through oligarch money, energy dependence, and elite networks rather than open ideology.​ Intelligence-linked orgs, "patriotic" NGOs, and Orthodox-aligned initiatives provide cover for recruitment, financing, and narrative shaping inside target states.

How I got my first 100 users for each of my 24 startups:
1. Cold emails:

- go for quality, not quantity
send to 20 people; if no reply, change the copy and resend. repeat until 2 replies.
- make it super short and include the outcome E.g. for @listingbott I'd send this "100 backlinks from relevant directories in one click"
2. Social media DMs (Li, X, IG, FB, RD, etc)
- send 15 sec loom with an audit of their biz/site/profile...where the preview makes it obvious it's personalized.
- impress them with your quick effort
- e.g. for @seobotai it'd be: "SEO audit of their website"
