Hat tip to @hassanmzaidi.bsky.social - I'm listening to @khan-danish.bsky.social to understand the way we need a theory of water to understand Pakistan and India - definitely the militarized version of Leanne Betsamosake Simpson's theory of water.

Wow, #LIVPSG, what a game. Reds will have to come back stronger next season to win #UCL. If Salah doesn’t perform at its peak even in one game, we see a huge drop off. Squad needs to improve.
Big up to all the Reds #LFCvPSG

Three key contradictory tendencies of Trumponomics 2.0. 1) The desire to reduce #trade deficit while maintaining the hegemony of the $. 2) Push for reindustrialization alongside aggressive fiscal spending cuts. 3) Desire to expand working class support base while granting more power to billionaires.

One of the strengths of Man city was playing a high defensive line to regain possession but they can’t do it effectively anymore with the existing midfield, especially in the absence of Rodri. So, it’s a 3 way title race but City ain’t in it.

Given the federal gov’t of Pakistan is one of the largest borrowers in the market, keeping high policy rate despite slowing down of inflation is more like a redistribution of wealth from taxpayers to wealthy executives/shareholders of private banks.

Although the State Bank of Pakistan did cut policy rate by 200 basis points, there is still significant room for further cuts, as the real interest rate in Pakistan is hovering around a staggering 10 percent.

SBP cuts key policy rate by 200bps to 13pc
Says cut mainly driven by continued decline in "food inflation as well as the phasing out of the impact of the hike in gas tariffs". ; KSE-100 index climbs 1867.61 points.

A duct-taped banana on wall sells for $6.2 million. What is this? Economic elites are engulfed in an ecosystem of 'symbolic waste'—that is, they squander resources on socially unnecessary goods, while ordinary people are concerned with paying for groceries and utility bills.
