THE PAUSE THAT STILL TIGHTENS: WHAT THE H.4.1 REALLY TELLS US ABOUT THE END OF QT The latest H.4.1 looks calm at first glance, but it’s quietly telling a bigger story about how the system’s tightening in the background even before the Fed formally ends QT. Total assets sit

As I said in my post yesterday if the courts say the president can’t use IEEPA to impose tariffs, there are still lawful ways to force the issue. He could invoke Section 232, which allows trade measures on national security grounds, it’s been upheld repeatedly in court. He could

For all you folks in awe of Deepseek: all of my students, including 100% of my students from China, are using ChatGPT. They all say it’s a lot better than Deepseek for projects involving sourcing, analyzing and presenting textual data (in Chinese)

Meloni has also established herself as one of the most solid geopolitical leaders on the old continent, representing not only Italy but also Europe.

Some weeks tighten. This one tightened. The conversations started small enough. Cavities and acidity. Mentorship. Youth apathy. Market liquidity. Digital banking. Even a friendly sports debate. On the surface, nothing dramatic. But there was a pattern hiding again. Decay

"Decay rarely arrives all at once. It begins with small neglect. Sugar feels harmless until enamel disappears. Policy feels harmless until legitimacy erodes. Leadership feels harmless until citizens disengage. Institutions fail quietly long before they collapse loudly. Damage

Quite interesting. I had to go to the dentist this week and we had a convo over cavities. That shaped my entire week in terms of pattern recognition.

Another interesting conversation with my mentees (I have 30) really shaped my week. What is a life coach and how different are they from mentors, like really?

A lot of people think the Mamdani thing is isolated from Africa, but it is not. What you are seeing in America with the new hashtag “affordability” is not just about prices. It is about economic mobility. The cost of living debate is simply the surface expression of a deeper

Peter Thiel today: “Boomers are strangely uncurious about how the world is not really working for their kids. It’s always hard to know how much bad faith there is or how bad the actors are. I think it’s odd that people thought it was odd that I was complaining about student debt

Tanzania: We didn't get here overnight I wrote the article in the link below six years ago. It was under a different government, but on the same trajectory. Authoritarianism doesn't appear overnight. It's the slow and steady breakdown of institutions, disrespect for human

Zambia's recently been experiencing ~20hr power blackouts due to its main hydro reservoirs being essentially depleted. For anyone not fully off-grid this is massively inconvenient. Here are my thoughts on how to fix the situation in 3 months or less. mwiya.com/pay-today-powe…

Dean N Onyambu Muloongo Muchelemba Indeed. China also had the benefit of civilizational memory with the imperial/confucian mandarin model based on merit based examinations for enterance and progress.

I call it the era of sovereign economics and strategic protectionism, but Velina captures it perfectly. Different words, same reality. Power is being redefined, and technology has become the new battlefield. Beware. This is not politics as usual.

Suluhu cannot escape from this. This massacre was planned for a very long time and places mapped! People killed in houses and streets and thrown into ditches 95% with chest and head shots. We have not made enough noise. This is the pressure point! #TanzaniaMassacre

We must put pressure until the Tanzania killings are formally recognized as a massacre by the relevant institutions. If we skip this step, Samia walks free… if we achieve it, the path to investigations, sanctions, justice and everything opens. This must happen before 9th Dec
