Curious. In responding to a post about Mark Carney having strategic discussions about a possible U.S. invasion of Canada, I wrote: Carney gives new meaning to an intelligence that is artificial. X then informed me the content of my post was "invalid."

The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.
Childcare is work. Teaching children is work. Cooking is work. Cleaning is work. Driving people around is work. Managing schedules is work. Taking care of babies is work. Managing a household is work.
But somehow, and for some reason if we combine all of these things into just one woman, if we combine all of these jobs to one woman, to just one house, with children who live there and call her Mom, then people suddenly start asking, “What does she even do all day?”
You’d never ask this of any of those professions. It is only mothers at home that have this extra burden of proof, that somehow we need to justify extra hard that we indeed are productive members of society, that we indeed work hard, that we indeed do things all day long.
The only difference in all of this is that women at home do this work for the people they love, instead of for people who pay her, and that should make the work more valuable, not less.

This is Bob Iger's Disney. The stock sits today at the same price as 11 years ago. The Woke Wizard.
In his first on-the-record interview since being fired as CEO of Disney in 2022, Bob Chapek says his predecessor-turned-successor Bob Iger campaigned to undermine him on.wsj.com/3VMz6kC

WINSTON CHURCHILL ON ISLAM:
How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries, improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.
A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement, the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.
Last night I watched the director's cut of Kingdom of Heaven.
Instantly into my top 5 movies of all time.
Can't help but feel sorry for Ridley Scott and all the actors. They created a masterpiece on the same level as LOTR or Gladiator, and the studio went and fucked it all up and released a pathetic shell of a movie.
This version is available on Apple TV. Highly recommended.

What a fraudulent headline. Imagine the logistics of any such worldwide survey. Next imagine the cost of such a suvery (which could not be recouped). Now factor in the need to do the survey repeatedly, in order to measure change. This is ten pounds of manure in a five pound bag.

So what did they think was going to happen.
This entire debacle has been war gamed 100s of times and what happened has always been in all the scenarios.
An ominous evil wind blows across the world...

The market price is the net result of action taken by willing sellers and willing buyers. It always makes sense, based on available information.
