Gita Gopinath says the Fed can skip a rate hike at this meeting, arguing that delaying a 25-basis-point increase for a couple of months would have little effect on financing conditions or monetary tightening bloom.bg/4zXIfWr

Toronto Mayor is clearly very concerned that mayoral candidate Braeden Chow will pull about 4,000 votes
There are two Chows on the ballot, and I’m #9.

En France, des livreurs Uber Eats s’organisent pour refuser collectivement les courses les moins rémunérées, en utilisant plusieurs téléphones. Une stratégie qui pousse l’algorithme à augmenter les tarifs jusqu’à atteindre 15 € ou plus par livraison. 😳

If this situation involved a #Tamil memorial civic event rather than a Buddhist monk protest, it would likely face significantly stricter, more immediate state “law enforcement” and a different public narrative due to #SriLanka chauvinism! #RightToSelfDetermination

This is the beauty in capitalism. Big boss ordered knowingly violating users privacy. But aware that he can hide behind corporate veil. 25B is a peanut compared to what they earn by violating the same law. Small man are jailed for petty theft, but big ppl let go free. I lv it.
A judge in New Mexico ordered Meta to pay a $25 billion judgment for deceiving users about how it handled their personal data, a penalty the state’s attorney general said appeared to be the largest of its kind ever issued. wapo.st/4BzR36G

🔥 Mearsheimer: Ukraine Isn’t Being Abandoned, It’s Being Managed John Mearsheimer says the real story isn't that Trump is abandoning Ukraine. It's that economic realities are reshaping U.S. strategy. According to Mearsheimer, Washington needs Russian oil and diesel flowing into global markets to help avoid deeper economic disruption, which is why Trump is resisting tougher sanctions and pressuring Ukraine not to target Russian energy infrastructure. "He can't abandon Ukraine because the deep state won't let him do that….Trump is no match for the deep state." The supreme contradiction and tension is palpable: Trump, the deep state, Europe, and Ukraine, are all working at cross purposes, but there is no path to ever succeed in helping Ukraine defeat Russia, yet they also won’t walk away, which merely keeps the war on life support, and Ukrainian deaths continuing into astronomical territory. Mearsheimer’s conclusion: Ukraine support continues, but the priority is making sure the war doesn't interfere with critical global energy flows.

Honorable PM @narendramodi, please see if you can influence and help this young man. 🙏🏿 He is not an Indian. But he is a South Asian, and it will show your leadership to the whole region, if you could get him deported/repatriated back to Sri Lanka, where he could face local law.

Sad state of Journalism in SL
The online exchange on X between Dr. Thusiyan Nandakumar and Daily Mirror Editor-in-Chief Jamila Husain highlights deep-seated tensions in #SriLanka media and #TamilGenocide narratives. Her response serves as a significant breach of journalistic ethics! 1/N 🧵 #WarCrime

This is from a half baked Journalist and a mouthpiece for corrupt genocidal political system ( not the current government). Tamils are unable to even talk about atrocities made on them due to fear of oppression.
His father - the terrorist he was - took the lives of many many children for his own selfish goals, including the lives of many many Tamil children who he forcibly recruited as child soldiers to fight for him. When I had entered the LTTE controlled areas to intw Thamilselvan back then, I saw these Tamil children holding guns in their hands when they should have been holding books! I don’t accept this child’s alleged death but at the same time I don’t accept the killing of every other child which Prabhakaran and his terrorist outfit did!

You can seize a statue at dawn. You cannot erase Tamil history — or hide the war crimes of the Sri Lankan state. Nallur remembers. The world remembers.

🚨 Ontario backed capital is now being used to bulk buy Toronto condos at discounted prices during one of the weakest new condo markets in years. High Art Capital paid $22.3M for 43 unsold units at Line 5, averaging about $518K per condo. The $1.3B private fund is backed by up to $300M in financing from Ontario’s Building Ontario Fund and plans to acquire roughly 2,200 unsold GTA condos. The units will become rentals, with 550 expected to remain permanently affordable. Most of the remaining units are expected to be sold after a minimum five-year hold. Another sign of just how dramatically Toronto’s condo market has changed.
