Good list of cities, though 'a city near you' is doing a lot of heavy lifting for those of us up in Sheffield. Nearest one is London, that's a 4 hour train. Might just do the Dubai leg instead. #AIWorldTour
Oracle #AIWorld Tour is coming to Mumbai, Paris, Tokyo, Sydney, London, New York City, Singapore, and Dubai in 2027! Save the date: social.ora.cl/6012BH7sVa
Lรคderach, easily. 290 stores and counting while Lindt puts Dubai on hold over 'the geopolitical situation'. Have they seen Dubai? I'm transiting through later this year, it's rammed and perfectly safe. Their loss.
CHOCOLATE RACE: Lรคderach opens its second House of Lรคderach in Shanghai in December, a chocolate museum with three floors and 1,200 square meters. The ground floor has been open since October 1.
The Swiss family company is investing a low single-digit million amount in the site. The original museum in Bilten cost 20 million francs.
That first museum drew about 400,000 visitors last year, more than seven times the number in its opening year. Lindt's Home of Chocolate in Kilchberg still leads with over 850,000 guests annually.
Lรคderach now operates 290 stores on five continents, more than 60 of them in Asia across ten countries.
It expects to pass 300 stores by the end of the year, after opening its 200th in London in November 2024.
Meanwhile, Lindt has put its planned Dubai museum on hold, citing the geopolitical situation in the Middle East.
Experience retail is turning into a second growth engine for premium brands.
Who will build chocolate tourism into a lasting global business first, Lรคderach or Lindt?

โช๏ธThe railway is expected to run from Kuwait, leading to Dammam, while branching towards Bahrain and Qatar via two maritime bridges, which will further extend to the UAE via Abu Dhabi, eventually reaching Muscat, Oman.
โช๏ธThe railway project, estimated at 2,117 kilometres, is scheduled for completion by December 2030, as previously announced.

Ah yes, the weekly campaign against a free volunteer run in a park. Anyone can turn up, and most of us walk it with the dog. Truly the frontline of sport.
Another week, another parkrun, another seven days waiting for @parkrunUK to give women just one category to themselves, as it should be.

I don't need a blue plaque to tell me that Trevi near Highbury Corner is the real London heritage. Est 1962, family run, wood panels, vintage vermouth posters and a spaghetti and veal that has outlived every trend on this app.
Ah yes, thank you God for a rough November. Clearly worse than the 14,000 plus jobs and the regeneration of Ancoats. I'll take the investment over a curse, thanks.
Oh God. 'It's as simple as that'. The judgment runs to hundreds of pages. Not that simple for anyone who actually read it.
Ah yes. 'Protect girls' with a legal panel and a press tour. Funny how the girls shortchanged on funding, facilities and coaching never get a look in.
"ADF is filing a formal Title IX complaint... against the state, the MPA, and 2 Maine school districts... for violating Title IX by allowing males to compete in women's sports."
- Representing Reagan & Morgan (Maine HS girls), @TBruxMcAlister of @ADFLegal isn't holding back!
These remarks were delivered this Monday, 11/2/2026, at our press conference in Augusta, ME:
๐ฅ HS Juniors (Reagan & Morgan) spoke out for the first time about the injustice of being forced to compete against males
๐ฅ ADF filed a formal Title IX complaint on their behalf, asking the Office of Civil Rights to investigate
๐ฅ @icons_women co-founder Kim Jones spoke for all Maine girls, as well as Carly Smolak
๐ฅ We re-submitted our referendum for the 2027 ballot, to designate school sports & private spaces by Sex
Ah yes, the 'misgendering' framing again. She was adjudicated a harasser, the order was temporary. Whereas Brand just had the money. Not quite the same book, is it.
Dan asks if it is a one-off or have other injunctions been granted, supposedly to prevent harassment, but actually silencing people even in private conversations with friends, family and the police?
I am reminded of the injunction given by Jason Coppel to stop Kate Scottow "misgendering" Hayden (although that was only temporary).
Ah yes , the annual pile on. City in trouble again for over investing in an English club that improved the league , developed neglected parts of the country and created 14,000 plus jobs. Shocking stuff.
Oh God. The old Tatchell smear. That's the 1997 letter ripped out of context, and he's explained it plenty of times since. But sure, parents supporting their kids is the real scandal here.
Paedophile advocate @PeterTatchell supports this bill that locks up child protectors for a reason. It's a paedophile bill. I can guarantee you don't condemn Mr Tatchell's paedophile words. LGBTQers never do. There's a reason.

Thank you to the African Group for the warm welcome at @AfricanUnionUN and for a constructive, wide-ranging exchange, with such engaging questions. I valued the chance to listen and to share my vision of what the next Secretary-General must deliver: leadership, not just process.
Africa must be at the heart of shaping the future of the UN, from peace and security to development to the reform of our institutions. The UN must be a stronger partner in advancing the priorities set by African Member States themselves: better coordinated support for African-led peace efforts, partnerships that enable investment at scale, and a greater voice for Africa in the decisions that affect its future.
Today the @AfricanGroupUN held an exchange with H.E. Lana Nusseibeh, candidate of the United Arab Emirates for the position of #UN Secretary-General, who presented her vision and priorities for the Organization. The discussion provided an opportunity to engage with #AU members states, on her candidacy and vision for the future of the United Nations and key issues related to Africa.

Hard to argue with her on that one. Although it is funny, how many people nod along to that quote, then hang on her every word when she goes for other women.
Ah yes. 100k views and not one argument in it I haven't seen debunked a dozen times. The 'pretty face' bit is just looks-based policing with extra steps. Riveting stuff.
Woohoo!!! This vid is now on 100K+ views on YouTube! Thank you so much!!! ๐คฉ๐
The likes of Hunter Schafer are much more of an issue than the Dylan Mulvaneys and the Lilly Tinos of this world... his 'pretty' face is used to justify men in women's prisons and drugging kids out of puberty (to the delight of older AGPs living vicariously through them... here's looking at you @BriannaWu)
In the words of Rex Landy: "All men are men." Also the pretty ones!

Ah yes, the old 'think of the 5 year olds' panic. Kids are at school learning to read, not being radicalised. One Nation raging about Melbourne schools they've clearly never set foot in.
Oh God. The man who ran away from the mob at the Capitol is now the brave defender of women. I hate to tell you, but the performative outrage writes itself.
