Today might be the day Donald Trump slaps tariffs on UK goods — because he thinks VAT is a tariff. Yes, he's wrong. But the reason *why* he's wrong is surprisingly deep.
So here's a 🧵 on the nerdy detail of VAT: via beer, Jaffa Cakes and an economic theorem from 1936.

Obviously I'm really here to promote my new Radio 4 series, Untaxing. The episode on Jaffa Cake airs at 1.45pm today.

1/ The Russian army is forcing mobilised men to sign contracts to become professional soldiers, or face death in suicidal assaults against Ukrainian positions. It likely aims to save money on salaries and ensure that the men can't go home if a ceasefire is declared. ⬇️ 
2/ The private Telegram channel 'ZOV Insider' has published a recording of the Chief of Staff of Engineers of the 82nd Motorised Rifle Regiment, Captain Yuri Mikhailovich Grechukhin, in which he threatens to send his men to a stormtrooper unit unless they sign contracts:
3/ "Mobilised servicemen, [if you] fucking don't sign the contract, fuck it. A fucking contract is being made. Tomorrow, all the fucking mobilised who stand here, fuck, I'm handing over to storm, fuck. All of them, for fuck's sake. No fucking exceptions. All of them.

Yesterday's email from DESNZ revealed they're seeking advice on how to commit crimes against thermodynamics. A thread 🧵(1/n)
First up, DESNZ has appointed former shadow energy minister Alan Whitehead to head a review into Greenhouse Gas Removals (GGR). This includes BECCS and DACCS (2/n)
BECCS is burning trees at places like Drax and capturing the CO2. Trouble is bioenergy is already inefficient and requires massive subsidy. Adding CCS makes it a net energy sink, with an energy return on energy invested (EROEI) of <1. A crime against thermodynamics. (3/n)

1. Find a mentor
Find someone who is at the level you desire to be and learn from them.
Whether it's their qualifications or professional level.
They will also be able to afford you experiences which are not advertised and open unexpected doors of opportiunity.

Saturn has entered Pisces.
To understand what this means for your life, you first need to understand what Pisces truly is.
This thread will uncover the nature of Pisces — its depth, its qualities — so you can see clearly how Saturn will behave here and what it’s bringing into your life.

Pisces is the 12th and final sign of the natural zodiac.
It’s the end of the cycle — the space of dissolution, surrender, and silence.
Pisces is the sign of moksha, the realm where God resides. It’s the sign of the Mother’s Dharma — because if your mother hadn’t fulfilled even a part of her sacred duty, you wouldn’t have been born.
It’s a sign of deep letting go. A place where nothing stays.
It’s where you walk alone.
When death comes, nothing and no one goes with you — only your impressions and tendencies, as the Gita reminds us.

When I spoke of the Dharma of the Mother, it doesn’t only mean your biological mother.
Mother Nature is the one who gives birth to every living being.
And Pisces — the 12th sign — also represents her Dharma.
In today’s time, when Pisces is afflicted by Saturn and Rahu, we can expect a shift in this natural Dharma.
The Dharma of Mother Nature is to be habitable — to provide comfort and life-supporting conditions for humanity.
But when this Dharma is disturbed, it can lead to trouble — through natural disasters like earthquakes, tsunamis (Ketu), and other disturbances.
Even in individual horoscopes — when Pisces, the 12th house, or the 4th house (signifying the mother) are afflicted — people often face problems from governments (Surya), or even through natural calamities (Ketu).

It's dancing at the edge of my ability to express it, but I have an intuitive sort of feeling that the current destruction of public health in America isn't a turnaround from the policies under Biden, but a natural next step of the progression.
I've been banging on for five years about the foolishness of ignoring the science of what Covid and other infections do to you.
And ignoring the harm caused by repeat covid infections always seemed to me a first step in ignoring the danger of all infections.
BREAKING: In a joint statement, #Israel's co-ministers of defense @Israel_katz (Likud) and @bezalelsm (Religious Zionism) confirm the government's intention to permanently acquire, colonize, and annex the entirety of the occupied West Bank, at the expense of #Palestinian sovereignty.
1/5 This egregious plan includes the wanton and extensive destruction of Palestinian homes and humanitarian and development assistance - schools, health clinics, livelihoods - provided by @eu_echo, @EU_Commission, @EUCouncil member states, and @NorwayMFA and @FCDOGovUK, under the guise of maintaining public order.
2/5 The International Court of Justice @CIJ_ICJ ruled in July 24 on the illicit connection between the destruction of property and the forcible transfer of Palestinians away from areas earmarked for settlement expansion. The Court concluded that Israel's actions amount to acts of aggression, making its presence in the occupied Palestinian territory unlawful.
If you're wondering why China—a place where you can safely leave your MacBook unattended for hours—ranks so low, while Western countries, where pickpocket and delivery drivers stealing packages are common, score much higher, you're in the right thread.🧵
This is a perfect example of how the Empire use various tactics to manufacture consent and shape public perception, by spinning negative news about enemy nations. In this case, by commissioning academic studies specifically designed to be cited and amplified by the media
Based on the title and posts quoting the chart, you would assume the study is about dropping a wallet in a public place unattended and see how many would try to return it.
You'd be wrong.
They pick the locations in advance and give it to the receptionists

A while back and following Apple’s notification about mercenary actors (Parsgon) targeting iOS, I got a hunch. After just two rounds of multicast to Farsi speaking folks, turns out there has been over a dozen cases (that reached back) who’ve received Apple or WhatsApp warnings!🧵
This is probably the first time that I’m aware of, we’ve such cases in Iran. Contrary to typical cases often reported, targets do not fit the typical political/journalism profiles. Mostly IT/Tech staff. My guess is more of targeted prepositioning ops and less espionage. Sadly—
most people spook out when they learn about the seriousness of their case and refuse help with forensic. One wonders why would Apple/FB would notify Iranian users or draw the line about interference with legitimate gov ops? In Iran, due to sanctions, Apple users use VPN for —
