  1. Henry #Farrell made some remarks about #crypto in 'What will happen to U.S. economic power under Trump?'

    Important Trumpworld people like “crypto czar” David Sacks and Elon #Musk, were from the “PayPal mafia” with a core goal in its early days": to displace the US dollar.

    As Peter #Thiel described, their ambition was “to create a new currency that would replace the U.S. dollar.”

    They see Bitcoin as it might fulfil PayPal’s “vision to create ‘the new world currency.’”

  3. Finished the Penguin season 1 and I thought it was brilliant. Farrell is superb at delivering the character and it twists and turns emotionally quite wonderfully. Hoping that a Catwoman one will surface as well, perhaps it is in the Pipeworks. I have a big box of the comics from the 80s and 90s I've promised to read once I get a good reading chair and the last film is very close to them and I am delighted. The Joker I can't watch with any seriousness. #penguin #farrell #batman #catwoman #dc

  5. And why does #Farrell want to increase congestion in San Francisco?

    "Ride-share is an activity that I believe we need to promote out of City Hall." (Also from missionlocal.org/2024/09/see-h)

    Study after study - worldwide - has shown that ride hail companies are :
    1) Diverting people from more sustainable modes of transportation (Transit, cycling, walking)
    2) Increasing congestion and vehicle miles travelled (and that harms air quality, even if EVs are used)

    So why is a Venture Capitalist (not a small businessman) supporting something that's bad for transit and bad for public health and bad for congestion?

  7. "...he would further reduce the inclusionary requirements (i.e. the percentage of affordable units) for new builds from the current 12 to 16 percent bracket, to 10 percent. "

    So why does #Farrell want to make the affordable housing crisis worse? The inclusionary requirements are a key part of SF's (already inadequate) efforts to provide affordable housing.

  10. #Kyiv Independent reporter Francis #Farrell and videographer Olena #Zashko spent a day with Ukrainian soldiers at infantry positions near #Toretsk in #Donetsk Oblast.

    They hold the last positions before no man's land: the gray zone between warring sides, where any movement makes you a target.

    Just 150 meters across the uneven ground, in positions that likely look very similar, are Russian soldiers.

    Good luck to him.
    Not a surprise.
    Opens up possibilities for the England team.

  13. #Farrell got off lightly with a 4 game ban given his record. Only 2 games during the World Cup

  15. Owen #Farrell banned for four games, but that includes his voluntary benching for the Ireland game. He will miss the first two pool games.
    The decision on Billy #Vunipola will be made tomorrow morning.

  17. ”Well I was going to smash him in the head with my shoulder, but he suddenly moved sideways, so smashing him in the face with my shoulder is not so bad in those circumstance.”

  18. The decision included this explanation:
    ”all the additional material including hearing from the
    player and his legal representative.”

    That must be some additional material to override the video evidence.

    Not sure what could possible lead to the conclusion that Farrell had no choice but to smash a shoulder into a face.

  20. So Owen #Farrell has had his red card, for a shoulder to Taine Basham's head, overturned.

    I am at a loss to see where the review board found its rationale

    Head contact? Yes
    Foul play? Yes
    Degree of danger? Yes - Basham at full speed, Farrell accelerating up into the side of his jaw - HIA
    Mitigation - none that I can see

    It makes a mockery of the whole process, from the review bunker through to the disciplinary committee

  22. The TMO must be fuming, can they appeal. This was under the new off field review system and the committee decision is directly undermining the new system and the TMO.

  24. A disgusting and contemptuous decision. They can fuck right off. We can all see the tackle, they can’t make up what happened.

    Farrell did not bend, did not wrap his arm. The ball carrier did not dip. Farrell had clear sight and made no effort to tackle below the head. How can rugby survive this bullshit.

  26. Been waiting on The Banshees of Inisherin since before it was shot - and the anticipation was worth it. An instant classic.

    At least a best picture nom for McDonagh, and probably a win for Barry Keoghan as best supporting actor. Other nominations/wins too I’m sure. Farrell as best actor wouldn’t be a poor choice. Wish there’d been a role for Chris O’Dowd in it.

  27. Julian Assange e Wikileaks: libertà di informazione sotto processo

    Il processo più importante contro il giornalismo sta raggiungendo un punto critico poiché i tribunali del Regno Unito emetteranno l'ordine di estradare il fondatore di #WikiLeaks, Julian #Assange, per affrontare una condanna a 175 anni per le famose pubblicazioni di WikiLeaks che denunciano crimini di guerra, torture, abusi e illegalità a Guantanamo e nelle guerre in Afghanistan e in Iraq.
    Tutti i principali gruppi per la libertà di stampa hanno lanciato l'allarme che il caso contro di lui costituisce un precedente che sarà utilizzato contro altri giornalisti in tutto il mondo e ha avviato una corsa globale al ribasso sulla libertà di stampa.
    Assange ha perso la libertà nel 2010 e da allora non ha più camminato per le strade da uomo libero. Quanto ai giornalisti di WikiLeaks, sono sotto inchiesta continua dal 2010 e rischiano di finire accusati delle stesse pubblicazioni. Questa non è solo una mostruosa ingiustizia, ma anche un attacco senza precedenti al diritto del pubblico di conoscere gli angoli più bui dei nostri governi, dove si pianificano guerre, torture, uccisioni extragiudiziali.

    Stella Assange è la moglie di Julian Assange e la madre dei loro due figli piccoli: si sono appena sposati nella prigione di Belmarsh.
    Joseph Farrell è un giornalista britannico che lavora con WikiLeaks dal 2010.
    Stefania Maurizi è una giornalista investigativa che ha lavorato su tutti i documenti segreti di WikiLeaks dal 2009.

    Interventi di: Stella Assange (avvocato per i diritti umani (via video)), Joseph #Farrell (ambasciatore di WikiLeaks ), Stefania #Maurizi (Il Fatto Quotidiano)
