          Speaking of sweaty nonces, where is Tuppence Tezza?

          Probably down his local Garda station explaining why he has been using the internet despite having no access to it being part of his parole instructions.

          Anyway, looking forward to his next fan fiction whereby he goes to a cricket match in his head and how he has had sex with an adult female.

        Long duration stocks fall when short term interest rates and bonds yields due to opportunity costs – i.e. jam today (dividends etc.) becomes preferable to a vague promise of marmalade at some ill defined future date – look at the relative performance of the tech dominated NASDAQ year to date – they have plenty of company.

    bye,bye,Sheryl.

    “During Sheryl Sandberg’s 14-year tenure at Meta, the company’s social media platforms — Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp — devolved into cesspools of disinformation, racism, misogyny, violent conspiracy theories, and alt-right organizing,” said Angelo Carusone, president of progressive advocacy group Media Matters for America. “Sheryl Sandberg knew this was a problem, and — like CEO Mark Zuckerberg — she failed to act.”-Politico.

    …she knows her customers well.

    “We researched potential motivations behind George Soros’s criticism of Facebook in January 2018. Mr. Soros is a prominent investor and we looked into his investments and trading activity related to Facebook. That research was already underway when Sheryl sent an email asking if Mr. Soros had shorted Facebook’s stock. Sheryl never directed research on Freedom from Facebook. But as she said before she takes full responsibility for any activity that happened on her watch.”

    An Bord Pleanála director assigned herself Dermot Bannon-designed development in own neighbourhood:

    https://www.ontheditch.com/abp-director-assigned-herself-case/

    “An Bord Pleanála’s (ABP) director of planning assigned herself to a planning application in her own neighbourhood. Celebrity architect Dermot Bannon represented the applicants, who were ultimately successful in their appeal to have restrictions on their proposed development overturned. ABP employees are prohibited from dealing with files concerning their “own immediate neighbourhood”, according to its code of conduct. Director of planning Rachel Kenny’s decision to act as an inspector in this case – concerning a property less than a kilometre from her home – follows the earlier revelation that ABP board member Michelle Fagan voted on at least three applications in her Rathmines locale…”

    COVID ‘Truther’ who claims she’s on the lam spoke at a major conference

    https://www.vice.com/en/article/v7d5w4/dolores-cahill-covid

    “…The 51-year-old – best known for her involvement in encouraging a fellow sovereign citizen who had been hospitalised with COVID to leave hospital, leading to his death in September – also claimed in the video that she faces up to two years in prison if she is caught. But a review of the cases against her suggests Cahill is seriously exaggerating the threat she faces in Irish courts…”
