To be fair, Germany is increasing their defence spending at the largest pace since WW2, which is something I'm not going to comment on right now.
Fun fact: next year the EU is bringing in rules that limit a country's debt to GDP. Countries over that limit face EU Commission sanctions, which may be lighter if you happen to breach the limit due to increased defence spending. You know where this heads.
We cover this and more in the most recent episode of the Theory of Thing podcast.

Finally, we leave a light on for Kate
Last week I said that the doctored photo of Princess Kate was taking up a lot of attention. That turned out to be an understatement. The amateur investigations into "that photo" and the movements of the Princess of Wales over the last 6 months put the Kennedy Assassination investigations to shame.
The world needs answers.
But in a more relevant tone, it's shown to the world that we now live in an era where you can't trust the photos put in front of you and how much more dependence we have on our own logic and on the media to protect us from mistruth.
The US election will be a comical series of gaffes in which each side will easily get to claim any photo or recording is AI-generated. Nothing is real anymore.
On that chirpy note, stay safe and all the best,
