Great flight. Highly recommended if you have a chance on a clear day.

I had window seat south side, so pretty boring US Gulf islands instead of mountains and our gulf islands.

But the approach to Vancouver had me on the city side. See circled Iona Building!

this one about the CDS market for AI tech debts is really good
Until recently, the idea of Meta going bust seemed so fanciful that no CDS market really existed

But not any more, with banks now offering protection against Meta — and several other AI companies once considered bulletproof

Is this the new Big Short?

1/ Beijing threatens international media to "watch your back" (自我珍重), "watch your step" (好自為之), "consider yourselves duly warned (勿謂言之不預).

Unclear what media have published which is false.
China's national security agency in HK summoned international media representatives for a "regulatory talk" on Saturday, saying some had spread false information and smeared the gov't in recent reports on a deadly fire and upcoming legislative elections. In full: buff.ly/p1VAxKU

"Patriots only" poll: As of 9.30am, we're seeing a 4.18% turnout. In 2021, it was 3.18% by now. Given the incentives to vote, the months of huge promotions, requests that civil servants vote, and subsidies for elderly homes, turnout will likely beat 2021, but will be lower than before revamp.

Comparing LFS employment in 2025 with 2022-2024 linear trends shows a substantial growth slowdown in full-time work for people aged 25 and over. Part-time jobs and youth employment remain on trend. The private sector slowing began in mid 2024 and in the public sector it started more recently.

Not many teams can do that to Arsenal's iron wall defend!!
FT: #AVFC 2-1 Arsenal

Villa were brilliant. The set-up, methods of attack, how they pushed to win it, knowing Arsenal were tiring, was astounding. Few teams outlast and out manoeuvre Arsenal, but this team does. Especially at Villa Park. Madness. Mentality off the scale.

Malen shoots wide. Big chance and Emery knows it.

Meanwhile, Martinez keeps holding his back and is gesturing to the #AVFC bench to get Bizot ready to warm up.

FT style is that if a word is pronounced (Maga, Nato) then it is lower case but if it’s spelled out (ECB, OECD) then it’s all caps.
