Yesterday was the 75th anniversary of the United Nations General Assembly announcing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Tomorrow Parliament debates enacting laws to disallow certain Human Rights.

Is this what our Parents / Grandparents fought the Great Wars for?

STX - from Q3 update: "77% of the HCP's who wrote an Rx in Q3 2023 had also written one in Q2 2023"

Not a good sign if they are losing 25% of patients in a quarter?

So the great unicorn of deposits is one that has significant deposits of the light two [neodymium and praseodymium] and the heavy two [dysprosium and terbium].

Hardup,

In a democracy, people get to vote and change their minds about who should govern; if the Tories were doing a good job, they would get voted back in. But, they are not, which is why Labour are expected to win the next GE in a landslide.

Maybe $unak should introduce legislation to decree that Brexit has been an economic success, similarly to introducing a law that says Rwanda is safe? But he better hurry, as he could be out of a job by Wednesday...

$unak could be in deep trouble

Tomorrow's political shows could be telling... the Gammons want to blow up the European Convention on Human Rights and can see that there is the opportunity now and know they might never get it again. But they are playing with fire and might blow up the Tories by mistake (maybe even on purpose).

Unboxing videos get lots of views on YouTube... Unboxing a Bently motorbike would get millions of views and go towards the silly price tag.

Getting rid of $unak will be good for Lloyds share price.

So their projected majority has shrunk to just 113 seats? #Gutted

China’s deflation worsens as economic pressures mount

An overleveraged economy and deflation is a very, very bad mix.

Odd story about a political campaign in Ghana made more interesting by their Gold and precarious economy:

https://www.semafor.com/article/12/08/2023/ghana-masked-presidential-contender

ACCRA, Ghana — Giant billboards featuring a man in a mask and the simple message “leadership for the next generation #thenewforce” have appeared in major cities across Ghana in recent weeks... The team behind the masked man campaign have already shown a flair for marketing that has generated curiosity and media attention — all without having a presidential candidate, official name or any policies. If that marketing savvy can be maintained over the next year it could encourage Ghanaian voters to embrace new ideologies and policies in the future.

cobalt,

i have been using ai to try an decipher mystifying statements and condense long rnss. claude.ai [my current go to] suggested:

unfortunately, that statement does not form a coherent sentence that i can reliably interpret. a few issues i notice:

"shut open" is contradictory. typically one would say "shut up" or "open up", not "shut open".

"you nonsense" is grammatically incorrect. i assume the speaker meant "your nonsense".

"never make sense" seems to be accusing someone of not making sense, but it is not entirely clear without more context.

my guess is that the speaker was angry or frustrated with someone and was trying to tell them to stop talking/communicating because they felt what the other person was saying did not make sense. but without additional context or clarification, it's hard for me to provide a very reliable interpretation. the sentence is too fragmented and ungrammatical for me to p**** definitively. i'd recommend politely asking the speaker to rephrase if you truly want to understand their intended meaning.

Plenty would, especially as it gives them the Public Duty Costs Allowance {£115k a year] as well as armed guards for life and an opportunity to give after dinner speeches to drunk republicans for $100k a speech.

30pLee and Rees Frag-Face come to mind, but there will be plenty of takers.
