From the article, among many other positions Russia’s being booted from the UN Human Rights Council, and they let the Saudis on that one! On a regional level, Turkey is stepping in to fill Russia's shoes. On the battlefield, Russia is retreating from Kherson not because of some agreement, they're just losing.

Seriously, do not fuck around with an FTC consent decree. If they choose to, they can & will unleash the Nazgûl on your ass. Just a matter of whether you piss them off enough.

By the way, is there anyone left at Twitter who remembers that the company is still under a pretty stringent FTC consent decree that has, you know, some requirements about launching new products & services and having a written plan about their security? https://t.co/ZjytSLUq1W https://t.co/Wc1iJKeEEZ

Mike's tweet turned out to be extremely precinct, today the FTC said they were extremely wary of what's going on at Twitter, The Verge is reporting a risk of billions in fines. He followed up with some advice: "Maybe don't fire your top two legal execs 90 seconds after taking over." Unfortunately for Musk, a bunch of executives quit today, hell of an exit letter from one ending with a link to whistleblower resources. Oh and then later in the day they also lost their head of engineering and head of Trust and Safety.

So, probably good news, S&P jumped quite a bit because it means the Fed might stop raising rates. But of course stocks going up is inflationary, so now the Fed will probably still need to raise rates a bit more.

One of the things they're testing for is the possibility that the artificial blood actually lasts longer than donated blood.

I'm not sure people would buy the sales pitch. The public image of Facebook is quite poor and if anything it's even worse among media and tech elites, whose view actually matters if you're trying to start an avalanche of power users toward a new platform. cnn.com/2021/11/10/bus…

Mark Zuckerberg has a wide open lane for a second act if he creates something called InstaFeed and the first post is "We won't read your DMs, we'll make certain Joe Biden is Joe Biden and Nintendo is Nintendo AND I won't post homophobic conspiracy theories." But he's gotta hurry.

Later on he suggests Alphabet, Amazon or Apple would probably have a better chance. Although Nate Silver isn't exactly an expert in this kind of tech industry stuff.
