Was he arrested or was he taken out due to medical reasons? Seems to be both stories going around about it.

Big Willie Champ

He was escorted in by the same guy that took him out. So either medical reasons or he was already arrested before the start of the session.

Qwiss

Came back and made a speech so it seems like it was a medical thing.

Bibi back

Not just Bibi, this time the kingmakers in Tkuma are basically Nazis.

So the US and Norway bombed Nord Stream and NS2. @QuincyAbeyie disgraceful you wouldn't share this piece of news beforehand with your Tolly buddies.

Germany's news outlets have been outdoing each other today trying to tear down Hersh's reputation 😆 perfectly normal response to a journalist revealing who attacked your own federal facilities.

Seymour Hersh, now that is a name I've not heard in a while.

Charlie Hebdo is still classy as always.

For more than two months now the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh have been blockaded by Azerbaijan. A blatant attempt at ethnic cleansing and if that fails, genocide, by the EU's new "reliable energy partner". Of course no-one cares since Armenians don't have blond hair and blue eyes and it's also geopolitically convenient not to care.

Second largest bank collapse in US history.

A new era begins...

I wonder how much if any of this timidity in the tech markets is LLM and AI related, as opposed to just the long-awaited further unfolding of all the crypto and bubble losses of the past year and a bit.

As someone who does a lot of "bespoke" software work AI seems to be casting a fairly long shadow on perceptions currently.

SVB was the canary in the coal mine

Good thing all those revised accords and prudential regulations went in after 2008—should make it a certainty none of these institutions are so over-leveraged they're vulnerable to contagion. It's great how well the whole system works these days.

Mirth

Disclaimer: I know less than nothing about this but I daresay no one has a grasp of the full picture anyway.

It seems like the US/UK GSIBs have benefited from the post 2008 regulation and are actually not too vulnerable to contagion. They'll likely benefit from this as more power flows to them (e.g. like UBS and HSBC have) and away from the other banks.

4x greater capital requirements, RFB, CASS, etc. definitely ensures that the banks aren't able to repeat the mistakes of 2008. However, if sentiment turns and markets get spooked then it doesn't really matter, because it markets will fall regardless.

QuincyAbeyie

I feel like he's getting more blatant with his racism now. He's always been a massive dick, but he used to at least try to hide it, making the meme kids think he was going to save the world etc.

Anyone following the Titanic disaster news? Absolute mind boggling the lack of safety features and escape functions for the participants.

Ironic that they likely met the same fate as those who used the Titanic. Imagine paying $250k and using this to manuver this submersible:
