Watch out people of Europe?

The 50% rise in gold and 10% fall in the dollar ia probably a bit of an economic 🚨

The video seemed to have some good themes but not sure about some of the points or the overall story. What do you think?

When the world is fucked and seems to be pushing everyone to make bad decisions, being calm and careful in your words and actions is an act of rebellion.

There’s a lot going on in the world right now.

So if anyone seeing this needs it here’s a reminder to take a breath and to be kind to yourself and those around you.

The crisis takes a much longer time coming than you think, and then it happens much faster than you would have thought.

Will give it a listen

It seems obvious to most/many there are significant economic problems in the pipeline. The uncertainty is as ever, exactly how and when things break. Could be soon, but may all be saved up until someone else takes over and they’ll get the blame?

Am… am I a large language model?

🎃It was a Hotblack night🦇 @invalid-handle.com · 8h

That’s relatively high

Ah well, close enough. The Bluesky UI can do funny things from time to time. That’s the excuse I use anyway ;)

Indeed! We were just chatting about that, so I have learnt something today :)

I’m definitely an arsehole from time to time and make plenty of mistakes

🎃It was a Hotblack night🦇 @invalid-handle.com · 8h

True. Time will tell I guess

Siffre met his partner Peter Lloyd in July 1964 and they were together for 48 years and in a civil partnership as soon as it was legal

From the mid-1990s until Lloyd's death in 2013, he and Siffre lived in a ménage à trois with Rudolf van Baardwijk in the village of Cwmdu, South Wales

Famously sampled by Eminem but Labi Siffre is a Brit. He was born in 1945 to a British mother of white British and Afro-Barbadian descent and a British Nigerian father. He was brought up in Bayswater and Hampstead
