Indonesian police have fired water cannon at protesters in Borneo who were rallying against toxic haze caused by the worst forest fires in over a decade. Demonstrations have taken place across the country.

If now isn’t the time to buy memory stocks, when is?

The thing that blows my mind about Palantir is they've chosen the name of a wondrous seeing stone that was secretly debased by Sauron and ended up corrupting and destroying all who used it.

Standalone Market status is worse than frontier I think 😭👻

Afraid you’re mistaken, sir. The records indicate that about two thirds of those fighting on the British / Canadian side at Queenston Heights were Canadian militia or their indigenous allies; and about one third were British regulars.* Most (or certainly a disproportionate number) of the British regulars who fought in the War of 1812 were Irish, Scots and Welsh rather than English. Cool fact: the victorious charge at Queenston Heights was led in part by the Company of Coloured Men, made up of black Loyalists who had fled American slavery to secure Canadian freedom. ❤️ Also, the colonies were *then* known as the Canadas, ie Upper and Lower Canada. BTW, the Sovereign was the King of Great Britain, not of England. The title King of England ended in 1707 with the Acts of Union. * See “A Very Brilliant Affair: The Battle of Queenston Heights, 1812 (2003),” inter alia.

Unfortunately fake 'bad' news spreads more widely than the more optimistic take below

The man who led Serco when it won asylum-accommodation contracts estimated at £1.9 BILLION now sits on the board of the Home Office, the department that awarded them. Rupert Soames was Serco CEO from May 2014 to December 2022. In 2019, Serco won two ten-year asylum accommodation and support contracts covering the North West and Midlands & East of England. Soames described them as “the largest contracts by value ever awarded to Serco”. In June 2026, he joined the Home Office. It now lists him as its LEAD non-executive director. The department says its board steers and scrutinises its strategy, performance and capability. Serco remains an asylum-accommodation contractor. The former contractor chief now helps scrutinise the customer. How is the Home Office managing any potential conflicts of interest on Serco-related matters? Is he excluded from those discussions? £1.9bn was Serco’s original estimated ten-year contract value, not money already spent.

The big Manchester City scandal is that they were secretly losing money and spending too much on salaries? Does not seem like the worst corporate behavior in notify.

Asking for a friend. If oil refuses to go down while 1) everyone is touting flows are back to normal and 2) US released the last tranche of the SPR, what does that mean?

It will be illegal to fly the national flag in the nation's second city

Kalau ini saya setuju Selama ini banyak uang yang disimpan di bawah bantal, bentuknya cash, bank notes asing, dan sebagainya Sebagian mungkin terungkap waktu ada kejahatan, tapi rasanya sebagian besar tidak Kalau uang2 ini bisa masuk ke sistem, ini positif Ibarat ada uang Rp 100 M dari bisnis ilegal, Rp 80 M masuk Patriot Bond, berarti yang bisa diperkarakan itu yang Rp 20 M saja Tetap ada tuntutan hukum yang bisa dilakukan Tinggal pelaksanaan di lapangan seperti apa

FYI I'm not happy with the new Li-Nings that I bought and have switched back to my Nike Pegasus for daily use. They are extremely comfortable. Yet they make a squeaking noise on certain surfaces. Will probably only wear them in the future for when I'm actually running (rare).
