The Weekend Intelligence: Farage’s power project

At their Birmingham conference last week, Reform UK, once dismissed as a fringe movement, had the hallmarks of a party preparing for government. Reform now leads Britain's polls hovering at around 30%, making Nigel Farage the most likely candidate to become the next prime minister. On The Weekend Intelligence, The Economist's British politics correspondent Matthew Holehouse charts what’s changed since he reported on Reform’s campaign rallies only six months ago. Can a party built on discontent with political establishment, anti-immigration sentiment and the rhetorical skill of one man govern? Or in the age of Trump-style politics is the show all that matters?

Strikes’ price: Israel’s shocking Doha attack

Qatar had positioned itself as a regional mediator, a safe space for negotiations. Israel’s previously unthinkable airstrikes have put an end to that reputation, and to near-term peace talks for Gaza.

Well informed: how to get strong

Conventional wisdom has it that you need to move your body regularly to stay fit. But these days scientists argue that you should probably trade in the treadmill for some dumbbells. Strength training is having a moment. In this episode, part of our “Well informed” series on wellness trends, we take an evidence-based look at three popular routes to maximising your strength: weightlifting, eating protein, and taking creatine supplements. The world of fitness is filled with powders and supplements that claim bold things, but what’s the real secret to becoming—and staying—strong? Host: Alok Jha, The Economist’s science and technology editor. Contributors: The Economist’s Tim Cross, Richard Kreider of Texas A&M University.

A sophisticated, predatory, multi-billion dollar industry is emerging from the shadows. It already rivals the size of the illicit drug trade. And it’s about to get bigger and much more powerful. The Economist’s Sue-Lin Wong follows a trail that starts with the collapse of a bank in rural Kansas to uncover a global, underground scam economy built around human trafficking, corruption and money laundering.

Where is Alo Jar (sp?)
Bring Jon Fasman back

٢٤ فبراير

Checks and Balances isn’t what it once was without Jon Fasman. Idriss’ smug attitude is unwelcome. I missed Jon Fasman as soon as he left, but especially since Elon took over the treasury payment systems three weeks ago, Idriss didn’t indicate that his pulse was elevated in the slightest. As we endure a power grab in America and are losing what’s best about our values as a nation, we need Jon Fasman back with us.

I could not believe my ears when I heard the hagiographic nonsense obituary they posted for Jimmy Swaggart, a religious fundamentalist and ideologue of the worst type. You would have thought that the woman who was reading this was speaking about Mother Teresa or someone who at least tried to help a fellow human being. This guy was as horrible of a hypocrite as they come and like Trump, not worthy of the second thought After he leaves the planet
Today, July 5: using A.I. voice?

Ugh. I cannot be sure, but I see no credit given to who is talking in the transcript. All I hear is a voice without any hint of humanity. I’m guessing A.I. voice. Stop it. I pay for a subscription, and don’t want cheap A.I. voices no matter how evolved they’ve become.
