1816: the Grandest Tour

The Regency era, just after Napoleon's fall: four cheerful but clueless young men set out from England on the Grand Tou...

Nearly finished an essay briefly profiling most of #India's regions.

#Kashmir is giving me pause because there's so much to denounce about the occupation it's hard to know where to begin.

Probably will need its own essay before this is all over, on the shoulders of the greats like Tariq Ali.

Hey Mastodon! Just thought I'd check in. Hard to abandon the birdsite, but I hope it will be possible one of these days...

@h_tejas Right now the stock trades at about 80-times earnings, where the S&P 500 (the major US index) - near all time highs - is trading at 24-times earnings.

@h_tejas I work in the financial industry, and the general numbers for them don't look sustainable. They're caught in a vicious cycle of demand for new programming to drive subscriber growth, which is very expensive but can only be financed by more spending, so *shrugs*.

I don't wish them ill, but it doesn't look good to me. Especially now the 'Streaming Wars' have begun in earnest with Amazon, Disney, etc. all starting their own platforms.

@h_tejas First Netflix might kill itself with an unsustainable debt load!
