Gone to BlueSky.Peter 🇺🇦 🇮🇱 🇵🇸🌈🇳🇿🇬🇧🇹🇹

Musks attacks on the UK. Straw that broke the camels back. Bye bye Twitter. Most of the 13 years was good. Same handle on BlueSky. 👋 Bye.

@UncleJo46902375 @mwendling @CommunityNotes He just tweets now without the foggiest idea of what he's wading into. The irony of it all too. From a South African *immigrant*.

@mwendling @CommunityNotes Also there is a significant prospect of Musk fans voting it out.

Just now I received a notification that a Community Note has been added to a misleading post by Elon Musk. The original post was from 6 Jan. It’s three days later - or c. 40 years in internet time. This is the main problem with @CommunityNotes - it’s way too slow. Meta beware.

@VJMPub @ClintVSmith Is it?

@CloudyNetwork @ClintVSmith Byron Clark getting my book Clown World Chronicles cancelled from TradeMe on the grounds it was antisemitic

@ibeentoleeds @ClintVSmith Controlling discourse? Quite the opposite. Nowhere more than Twitter under Musks reign shows the need for people to have access to something factual not something "information" put forward as fact when it'd not. Objective reality *is* a thing

@ClintVSmith It's not even about left vs right. Another boring partisan simplification. It's about the fact that "misinformation expert" is an absurd, fake job, and just another means of controlling discourse, glammed up as something noble and good.

@VJMPub @ClintVSmith Example?

@ClintVSmith Misinformation experts generally aren't trying to counter lies. They're generally spreading misinformation of their own.

@ClintVSmith David misses the bigger point. Why are so few right leaners interesting in countering misinformation? Also ones political view doesn't change an objective truth, only seemingly ones willingness to accept ones they don't like.

@MusicalChairs14 @StevenHailAus @Davejones0305 If the loans increased more than the deposits, surely that can only mean the gap money has left the country?

@StevenHailAus @Davejones0305 Yes, it's a challenging puzzle to solve without knowing the split - especially as total loans outstanding have increased by more than total bank deposits in NZ (QE/QT etc have sent the data all over the place).

@ShiZaruZoe @RpsAgainstTrump Sounds like I need to watch this one...🤦‍♂️

@RpsAgainstTrump 🤷🏻‍♀️ Lex is a loser. 🫡🇺🇦 #MRSA #MUGA 👇👹✌️

Serious question: How did Lex Fridman become popular? Why is his podcast so successful? He doesn’t seem like a smart or interesting guy at all—maybe I’m missing something?

@RpsAgainstTrump Because unlike some interviewers it's not about him. It's about getting the best out of your guests , not hogging the limelight

@LogTech1999 Great threat. Thanks. Can you recommend a starting point for learning logistics / supply chain , more people need to have awareness of this area.

At Vector, we have built a team of top technologists fundamentally rethinking how tools in logistics should work. Follow for more latest insights in supply chain technology. withvector.com

In the 1960s, MIT Professor Jay Forrester created something that changed the way we think about supply chains—The Beer Game. This game is a simple simulation, but it messed with the minds of thousands. Here's the game:

@StevenHailAus @MusicalChairs14 @Davejones0305 Thanks. That's clearer. Also bank lending. Bank X does a loan: "loans create deposits". Said loan is a similtaneous asset and liability to different parties hence A-L= E0 right? There isn't a private sector loan money multiplier at all.

@CloudyNetwork @MusicalChairs14 @Davejones0305 Not quite the point. Government net spending plus bond sales to banks (not non-banks) creates bank deposits which are not themselves the result of bank lending but of government spending.

@Davejones0305 @MusicalChairs14 @StevenHailAus Bonds...Bonds are not increasing private sector equity. Since it's a swap for dollars for a Bonds. Ignoring the interest payments for a moment.

@Davejones0305 @MusicalChairs14 @StevenHailAus Separate Gov spending. From Gov Selling Bonds. Gov creates $100 and deposits that in your account. That's an Asset for YOU. It's not a liability for the government since you can't redeem anything from the government (but you can pay your tax). So private equity increases...

@MusicalChairs14 All must worship at the Font of Friedman. No empirical evidence needed.

Lol! Uni economics departments don't want students reading Marx, Keynes, Kalecki, Robinson, Schumpeter, Minsky etc because they know that their students would quickly realise that the rest of the course is pretty much shit sugar-coated with calculus.

@MusicalChairs14 @Davejones0305 Government bonds are simply are State support for the private financial sector whatever way I look at it. Financial sector *needs* them, the State doesn't.

@CloudyNetwork @Davejones0305 yes, those coupon payments are also soaked back up by bond sales. To be clear though i view bonds as basically equivalent to cash - they are like tradable term deposit balances.

@MusicalChairs14 @Davejones0305 100%. The bond buying really changes nothing. Also in general the Monetarists have warped the minds of many to obsess over "the money supply". The real issue is never the money supply (at least not for Fiat currency issuers), but what are we actually trying to do.

@MrHilariouskiwi @witton_liz With the stakes and given how NZ is Atlas networks little test bed for stuff you can be sure they will have the means to buy enough "legit" submissions.

@witton_liz There will be thousands of scripted templates Atlas Network generated submissions which will be filtered because they are identical. Just like the govt. trying to gaslight via the police that there were only 40k in the Wellington hikoi when it was closer to 100k.

Apparently the submissions are in favour of Seymour's policy. So the racists are going to win . Maori will be Colonised once again.Will we have a CIVIL war on our hands ?I for one is very concerned .What is happening to our beautiful country . So much racism everywhere.

@JudithCollinsMP Quantum Physics wasn't science once upon a time.

IMHO, an excellent article in today’s Otago Daily Times. My revolutionary view is that taxpayer money allocated for science should go to science. odt.co.nz/opinion/meande…

@TAMMYSZN @MusicalChairs14 When the person posting that had a pinned tweet comparing FDRs New Deal with Fascism you know you're on to winner..🤦‍♂️

Remember, if they very oddly cite one study from 20 years ago, it's probably because they know more recent studies don't have the same conclusion at all: ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/publi… sciencedirect.com/science/articl… academic.oup.com/icc/article/31… jois.eu/files/06_222_I… dallasfed.org/research/econo…

@char_kiwi @NewstalkZB @dbseymour Wonder how many submissions were bought and paid for by TPU/FSU and the like.

The Act leader says he's been told 15,000 submissions were received within the first 10 days. fqx4.short.gy/vnPwpx
