Oh no. It’s the most contentious time of the year for geo-folk. I usually stay out of it, but some of these minerals are going to make me stan hard.

Really puzzling, though, how the US could have become the world’s largest economy, at $20 trillion, while simultaneously being victimized by every single one of its trading partners https://t.co/AbNbIynZOI

Come June '19, Beijing will have 10 runways for large jets. Most large world cities have 6+ runways across one or more airports. Infra crunch in India results in 1 runway in BLR, AMD, GOI, PNQ, COK, 1 runway at a time in BOM, CCU, MAA, HYD, & DEL 3 runways. Top 10 India airports. https://t.co/Hm3gBqWGwi

OK, folks, I hear that John McAfee claims to have invented cyber security. (I don't know; he has blocked me.)

Gather 'round the fire, kids, for a short story, because I was around at the time.
These Carboniferous beds, comprised of flattened and randomly oriented 10 metre tree trunks and gravel, and associated with a facies change from fluvial sands to abandoned channel muds are one of the oldest log jam deposits in the world #FossilFriday pic.twitter.com/CWr9eRlghZ

TLJ is the best star wars movie
Iron Man 3 is better than Iron Man
Solo was better than Rogue One
and Discovery delivered Trek's best first season by a mile

1/ When you create no economic value and you must live from capital raise to capital raise, it is critical to manipulate the media so as to create the illusions needed to keep the pump going. This thread shows one small example of how $TSLA likely does this.

Like with the series in South Africa, this will go down as what-could-have-been rather than what actually was. Neither South Africa nor England were as good as they have been in the past. But then, maybe, India isn't as good as we believe it to be

I'm never that bothered by who wins as long as we get a fair fight and the drivers can actually RACE each other, and we absolutely got that today. If Raikkonen had repeated his lap 1 re-pass of Hamilton it would have made it even better :) #ItalianGP

Nice thread! The franchise is of float and fees. But other banks seem to be chasing this too. I wonder if game changes when sukthankar and Amitabh chaudhry don new hats. https://t.co/ORI6d1ZCkv
