HUGE thank you to everyone who bought an Ajax print so far.😊
We raised an incredible £195 for him in one week after I made it!
Ajax and his new guardians are really grateful for the donation and judging by the videos I’ve been sent of him recently I think he’s most likely to spend that pocket money on blue clothes pegs…(a very particular interest but who am I to judge).
He is now living a very happy captive life as a resident bird at Russell’s Corvid Rescue. The money raised from this print goes towards his care and the care of many other birds at the centre. 🦅
If you’re interested in getting a print for yourself and helping this effort, they’re still in stock here…

My latest lino carving & print.
Guess who it is🐥
50% of proceeds from this print will go directly to Ajax’s care at the corvid sanctuary Russell’s Rescue.

The Writers Guild speaks out about tech platforms squashing the @alexgibneyfilm doc about Elon Musk:
“A small handful of billionaires now own virtually every major media company, news outlet, social media platform and are demonstrating how this unchecked concentration threatens democratic discourse.”

This past week alone, Russia has launched around 1,600 guided aerial bombs, 48 missiles of various types, including ballistic missiles, and nearly 2,300 attack drones against Ukraine. Unfortunately, almost every day, these brutal strikes leave people killed and injured. In the evening, Russian strikes on the Dnipro region killed four people. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 22 people were injured, including an 11-year-old girl. In Vinnytsia, a Russian drone struck a high-rise apartment building. Six people were injured. In Kharkiv, the Russians first struck a home improvement hypermarket and then carried out a cynical double-tap strike on the emergency services that arrived at the scene. First responders were injured. There were also strikes overnight on a thermal power plant, substations, coal mines, grain storage facilities, shopping malls, and a postal logistics hub. Damage has been reported in nine regions.
This is how Russia responds to diplomacy and deisolation. And it is very important that support for those who protect lives not diminish alongside the negotiation process. We need to unblock the deliveries of Patriot interceptors already approved by European countries. We need to continue supporting Ukrainian combat aviation to defend against jet-powered “shaheds.” Every such defense package, especially ahead of winter, helps save lives. I thank all partners who provide this kind of support.

I regret to inform you that your data on that MiG is incorrect…
I’m literally with the drone operators on the frontline in Ukraine, dude. 🇺🇦
Operators I’ve spoken to reported Starshield-connected drones dropping out at 120 km/h after the restrictions were imposed. Starlink was already capped.
It’s since been restored, after Elon admitted imposing restrictions on Starlink and Starshield.
So pucker up, buttercup.
My reporting 👇

No, liar or moron.
Starshield was not restricted and never had a speed limit.
They have to buy access to Starshield network per-terminal and the terminals need to be reprovisioned to the Starshield network. They didn't do that for all terminals, many were using the cheaper civilian Starlink service and hacking them to be able to go over 100mph, against the ToS. The hack was patched via a software update so they could no longer use that hack, the civilian Starlink connections started dropping out above 100mph in motion as designed.
Obviously the fix for ukraine was to convert those Starlink terminals to run on the Starshield network and pay for the Starshield service as they were supposed to in the beginning, and Ukraine knew this all along. And thats what they finally did to fix their own problem.

My take on YCSE:
It's meant to be a mirror. The point isn't just to make you question what you know. It's to invite you to notice what you do with that ambiguity.
It isn't really a movie made for the people who have read Bad Blood, because those people know enough about what happened at Theranos to notice the equivocations and the revisions the movie depicts. (There are many, and they matter quite a bit if your primary interest is whether Holmes is sincere or not.)
Instead, it's a movie for the average person who has heard of Theranos but doesn't really know the backstory. It's meant to make you uncertain because what you do with that uncertainty is probably a pretty good predictor of whether you are susceptible to be taken in by a persuasive, sympathetic con artist or not.

Starlink taken from Musk and needs to be nationalized. It is a US Dept of Defense system. We paid for it. We own it. We should dictate how it operates.

Seventy years ago, Europe and the entire world faced a very important and, in many ways, decisive crossroads, when the people of Hungary rose up for freedom and against the Soviet system. The courage and love of freedom shown by Hungarians proved remarkably strong, and they still amaze all of us in Europe.
Unfortunately, the world did not make the strong decisions needed to help them at that time. This led to further decades of totalitarian rule across much of Europe, which ended only with the revolutions of the 1980s.
The year 1956 could have changed a great deal. This lesson now gives us grounds to say with absolute certainty: when people show courage and love of freedom, it is worth supporting. It deserves support everywhere in the world, so that freedom grows.
I thank everyone who remembers history, honors people's courage and love of freedom, and does not shy away from decisions when decisions are needed. We honor the heroes of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956!

"Things that make you go, Hmmm..."
Battle lines have been drawn in the bitcoin:native order book with bid liquidity stacked ~$83k attempting to keep price elevated, and ask walls laddered above ~$84.2k suppressing price into a tight range while the smallest order class (orange) uses a TWAP bot to accumulate tens of millions daily.
Over the last 7 days the orange cohort has taken over $150M in ask liquidity and they don’t seem to be slowing down. That’s exponentially more than their average and it accounts for the overwhelming majority of the Net $185M in Net order flow in the last 7 Days on @binance .
There's a good chance we see some shifting liquidity dynamics or spoofing around the TradFi open.
Stay focused and disciplined.

Bitcoin's bounce has me glowing orange because TBO closed-short diamonds are spreading across BTC, Ethereum and the broader crypto market. I use the standalone TBO indicator on TradingView to read those as bullish reversal signals, not a promise of a straight-line rally. My bias is to buy pullbacks and sell into strength, letting the longer-term trend outweigh isolated bearish warnings.
I want Bitcoin to hold above its TBO cloud as the slow line curls higher. Ethereum's four-hour closed short and improving RSI keep me bullish, but Bitcoin dominance hasn't delivered the decisive drop I want for stronger altcoin rotation. Stablecoin dominance printing three TBO closed longs adds bearish reversal evidence there, a constructive contrast for crypto.
I'm watching STRK's shrinking red candles and higher four-hour RSI lows for a possible DCA entry, while AERO's rising slow line keeps its broader trend constructive despite pullback warnings. DXY's reversal setup could help risk assets, but I see silver's fast-line retest as a place to consider taking profit rather than blindly chasing. Higher-timeframe context matters more to me than treating every warning as a trend reversal.

Since the American President announced the energy ceasefire a week ago, Russia has deliberately attacked Ukraine’s energy and oil and gas sectors 76 times. Last night alone, there were strikes on substations in the Vinnytsia, Zhytomyr, Khmelnytskyi, and Odesa regions. Tens of thousands of families remain without power. Energy workers and repair crews are working virtually around the clock to restore electricity supply. Overnight, the Russians also struck residential buildings in our regions. As of now, 12 people have been reported injured, including two children. Two people have been killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones. This morning, there was a strike on an agricultural enterprise in Volyn. All necessary services are working at the site.
In total, over this past week, the Russians have attacked Ukraine with almost 2,700 attack drones, 1,700 aerial bombs, and 66 missiles, most of them ballistic. The main targets of these strikes are energy facilities – the Russians are trying to cause a blackout. And America should see that Russia is not taking any reciprocal steps in response to sanctions relief or agreements. On the contrary, they take every signal of an opportunity to make money as proof that their bet on war is paying off and they can keep fighting. It is because of this position of Russia’s that the war continues, not because Ukraine is rightfully defending itself. It is Russia that must face pressure for peace to have a chance. Thank you to everyone who understands this and helps.
