Sarah Munson and Callum Ashworth In recent years, retail investors’ demand for UK government bonds (gilts) has increased, marking a change in the composition of market participants. The growth of retail investors, comprised of individuals managing their own portfolios, has been a global phenomenon (Foxall et al (2025)). But what’s driving this change, and what … Continue reading Retail investors’ participation in the gilt market
Hi, my name’s Kyle. Yes, I get in whatever lane has fewer cars and then merge. I merge late so others can practice forgiveness. I don’t see it as cutting someone off. I see it as giving them a spiritual workout.
Merging, to me, is faith in motion. When I flick on my blinker, at the last possible second, I’m not being rude. I’m saying I believe in you. I believe you’ll make space. That you’ll overcome the petty human urge to honk and instead ascend toward grace.
Patience is a muscle, and I’m your personal trainer. I push you past your limit. You might shake. You might curse my name. But later, when your blood pressure stabilizes, and you feel the calm wash over you, you’ll thank me. As Gandhi said, or maybe I’m paraphrasing, “Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.” I’m just here to spot you.
Traffic isn’t chaos. It’s just therapy with horns. Every red light is a breathing exercise. Every missed exit is an opportunity for growth. Every time I merge late, someone releases the anger they’ve been holding since childhood. And if that isn’t public service, I don’t know what is.
Forty-year growth periods may have given them a leg up in dominating their ecosystems

We are excited to announce that the main branch is now the official Drupal core development branch. Using a main branch aligns Drupal core with the best practices of industry and major open-source projects. This move is the final step of infrastructure changes that began in 2023.
Going forward, main is the new, primary development trunk for Drupal core. Most active work and outstanding issues currently filed against 11.x should now be targeted at main. The 11.x branch will remain for Drupal-11-specific issues, while Drupal 12 development will happen in the main branch.

There’s a black book of Communism, which essentially claims that every death caused by a Communist government is the fault of communism.
