BREAKING: Bangko Sentral maintains key interest rate at 2%. | @meltlopez

 BSP Governor Benjamin Diokno: The inflation environment remains benign. Latest trends show an increase in food prices, but this is transitory.
BSP: A resurgence of COVID-19 cases globally tempered economic activity. Optimism on vaccines has lifted market confidence, improved prospects for global growth.
BSP: further easing of quarantine measures should facilitate economic recovery in PH in the next few months.
BSP: Accommodative policy rates together with fiscal support will quicken PH recovery.
BSP's new inflation forecasts:
2020: 2.6% (from 2.4%)
2021: 3.2% (from 2.7%)
2022: 2.9%
BSP: The higher estimates are due to global oil prices, rising food costs.
BSP: The outlook can be described as continuing to be benign.
Will BSP scale down regulatory relief given low takeup of loans? Deputy Governor Francis Dakila: There are green shoots that we are seeing that show increasing demand.
BSP on regulatory relief measures for bank: As the recovery remain tentative, domestic demand's trajectory remains on the downside. Given this, this emphasizes the need for continued policy support from the BSP.
BSP says such policy support shall continue to be in place until economic recovery comes underway.
BSP: The decision to withdraw monetary policy support will be considered 'very carefully'.
BSP: While monetary policy can be most effective in the crisis's first phase, gov't spending and structural measures have a much greater role in ensuring sustainable recovery, restoring the economy's potential growth output.
BSP: It can be emphasized that liquidity remains ample.
BSP on banks' reserve requirements: Any action will be data-dependent.
BSP: We have been looking at indicators of financial market activity, and market liquidity remains ample.
BSP: Liquidity-easing measures have so far released P1.9T to the financial system. That's almost 10% of the country's GDP. https://t.co/4w2ggBwlgF
BSP: We believe our policy actions are appropriate to underpin increased credit activity but uncertainty surrounding the pandemic has limited usual transmission of policy.
BSP: While financial market confidence remains fragile, business and consumer confidence is rising as COVID-19 vaccines are being delivered globally.

The Philippines still does not have vaccines ready for inoculation 9 months into local quarantine.
BSP: The uptick in inflation could probably be felt until the first half of 2021. Going further, we expect inflation to temper.
BSP: The inflation trajectory indicates a temporary shock.

Food prices, especially for vegetables, have been rising in recent weeks.
BSP: The key difference in today's episode is it's taking place when demand is muted, key structural reforms are already in place like liberalization of rice imports.
BSP: We would welcome greater circulation of liquidity in the economy, away from deposits in the various instruments of the BSP.

This is incredibly shoddy work @TRF @hugo_greenhalgh @rachelmsavage @antozappulla and does not stand up the @Reuters principles of integrity, independence, and freedom from bias

My case is not "pushing back against transgender rights" it is case about belief discrimination.

It is about the right of people not to be discriminated against at work & by service providers for holding or not holding a belief about the nature of sex and gender identity.

Adding up some numbers in the public domain is not much of an investigation.

It is the work of a pocket calculator and 15 minutes.

The rest of the time was spent looking for the fabled shady right wing money... none was found


“Basically, money is being used to bully" says Clara Barker

Is Thompson Reuters saying that women like me, @BluskyeAllison @8RosarioSanchez are bullying the institutions that discriminated against us by having the temerity to raise money to hire lawyers ?

“It certainly feels like there (are) deeper pockets for those challenging our rights than those trying to protect our rights” says Clara .

.@louiscasiano from @FoxNews reached out to ask if we are actually planning on contaminating the hotel rooms of Proud Boys with bedbugs. The short answer is no, we don't even know if that's possible. But here's our full response.


That post was clearly satire. We have no idea how one would actually go about the activity that was suggested.

What is not satire are the numerous death threats that were sent to us by Trump supporters in the lead up to the November election.

Here are a few tweets depicting detailed and credible death threats that you didn’t ask for comment on:

https://t.co/PPe75XWImX
https://t.co/4Ia8659wK8
https://t.co/n5ov6R8Gyh


Each of those tweets includes the email address of the sender. We wish you luck in reaching out to them for comment.

Further, the hate crimes committed by the Proud Boys during their last visit to DC were not satire. A marauding band of drunk white nationalists stormed through our city, tearing down and burning religious symbols declaring respect for Black lives.

As the @guardian continues their antisemitic game of contorting everything in existence to attack Israel, (in this instance perpetuating a libel of Jews as disease spreaders withholding vaccines), here are some other headlines I’ve written for them to keep up their sleeves:

Israel’s national anthem sung in Hebrew - not Japanese - another low for this racist state

Israeli of the year award goes to Israeli - not Frenchman - is there no end to Israel’s racism?

Israeli sports budget spent on Israelis - not on Scottish skateboard parks. What would we expect?

Diego Maradonna doesn’t even place in list of top ten greatest ever Israelis. An insult to world’s football fans. FIFA must act...

I present to you all, my (possibly) superthread On how and why the Unknown God from Genshin Impact, and The Herrscher of Void/God Kiana/Sirin from Honkai Impact!

First off! We’ll start with the obvious things that constitute a possible connection.

They share the same Japanese Voice actress! Rie Kugimiya.
Usually this is a stretch reason, but considering everything else, it’s not unlikely that it’s the same character.

Secondly, their Appearances.
The both have very long white hair with identical bang style, and a very noticeable small piece of hair on top that curls upwards. That’s a defining part Of all of Kiana’s hairstyles, and for it to be shared with this god says something.


Another notable thing is their eyes. They both have Glowing golden eyes with very similar appearances. They contain a ring, and a 4-point star pupil. Resemblant of a scope if you will. That’s The Herrscher of Void’s defining characteristic


If you’d even like to take a look at their outfits, there’s resemblances including the black fur collar, the designs on the torso and chest, and the use of something similar to coat tails/skirt. The Herrscher can change their outfit and they aren’t stuck with one. Sirin does this

Thread A History lesson for the MOAB:
1. The United States of America is not and has never been a Democracy, we're a Federal Republic tied together by the capital Laws of the Constitution.

Everyone in the country is about to get a harsh lesson on what this really means...

2. In 1871, February 21: Congress Passes an Act to Provide a Government for the District of Columbia, also known as the Act of 1871.

With no constitutional authority to do so, Congress creates a separate form of
government for the District of Columbia.

3. A ten mile square parcel of land (see,
Acts of the Forty-first Congress,” Section 34, Session III, chapters 61 and

4. The act — passed when the country was weakened and financially depleted in
the aftermath of the Civil War — was a strategic move by foreign interests
(international bankers) who were intent upon gaining a stranglehold on the coffers and neck of America.

5. Congress cut a deal w/ the international bankers(Rothschilds of London) to incur a DEBT to said bankers. Because the bankers were not about to lend money to a floundering nation w/out serious stipulations, they devised a way to get their foot in the door of the United States.

Spent a quaint half hour in a cafe listening to a guy yell at his dad after his dad said that the women Trump molested wanted it: "Dad, that's like saying the Jews who died in the Holocaust were asking for it!" ENJOY YOUR TERRIBLE FAMILIES THIS WEEK!

"Mom, has a man ever touched you without your consent?"
"Of course."
"Did you report it?"
"No."
"Dad, your WIFE has been through this!"

Dad was unmoved and told the guy to stop arguing with him.

At this point we learned the boy child has allergies.

I forgot to remark upon the presence of the very cute grandson, who was very small and gave not one shit about the yelling. I believe a sister or aunt was present and feeling very stressed. I wanted to hand her a Xanax or seven.

It was really hard to not jump in and say, "Sounds like you guys are going to have a fun meal tomorrow!" so they could unite in hatred against me, the outsider, and stop squabbling. Instead I exchanged glances with a nearby fellow lady patron, who also emotionally ate a cookie.

Anyway, I want to thank the random family for yelling about rape and the Holocaust in an Israeli cafe in the US of A today because it reminded me that while this country isn't the greatest, it is inevitably my stupid favorite and I am never, ever bored.

**Thread on Bravery of Sikhs**
(I am forced to do this due to continuous hounding of Sikh Extremists since yesterday)

Rani Jindan Kaur, wife of Maharaja Ranjit Singh had illegitimate relations with Lal Singh (PM of Ranjit Singh). Along with Lal Singh, she attacked Jammu, burnt - https://t.co/EfjAq59AyI


Hindu villages of Jasrota, caused rebellion in Jammu, attacked Kishtwar.

Ancestors of Raja Ranjit Singh, The Sansi Tribe used to give daughters as concubines to Jahangir.


The Ludhiana Political Agency (Later NW Fronties Prov) was formed by less than 4000 British soldiers who advanced from Delhi and reached Ludhiana, receiving submissions of all sikh chiefs along the way. The submission of the troops of Raja of Lahore (Ranjit Singh) at Ambala.

Dabistan a contemporary book on Sikh History tells us that Guru Hargobind broke Naina devi Idol Same source describes Guru Hargobind serving a eunuch
YarKhan. (ref was proudly shared by a sikh on twitter)
Gobind Singh followed Bahadur Shah to Deccan to fight for him.


In Zafarnama, Guru Gobind Singh states that the reason he was in conflict with the Hill Rajas was that while they were worshiping idols, while he was an idol-breaker.

And idiot Hindus place him along Maharana, Prithviraj and Shivaji as saviours of Dharma.

दधीचि ऋषि को मनाही थी कि वह अश्विनी कुमारों को किसी भी अवस्था में ब्रह्मविद्या का उपदेश नहीं दें। ये आदेश देवराज इन्द्र का था।वह नहीं चाहते थे कि उनके सिंहासन को प्रत्यक्ष या परोक्ष रुप से कोई भी खतरा हो।मगर जब अश्विनी कुमारों ने सहृदय प्रार्थना की तो महर्षि सहर्ष मान गए।


और उन्होनें ब्रह्मविद्या का ज्ञान अश्विनि कुमारों को दे दिया। गुप्तचरों के माध्यम से जब खबर इन्द्रदेव तक पहुंची तो वे क्रोध में खड़ग ले कर गए और महर्षि दधीचि का सर धड़ से अलग कर दिया।मगर अश्विनी कुमार भी कहां चुप बैठने वाले थे।उन्होने तुरंत एक अश्व का सिर महर्षि के धड़ पे...


...प्रत्यारोपित कर उन्हें जीवित रख लिया।उस दिन के पश्चात महर्षि दधीचि अश्वशिरा भी कहलाए जाने लगे।अब आगे सुनिये की किस प्रकार महर्षि दधीचि का सर काटने वाले इन्द्र कैसे अपनी रक्षा हेतु उनके आगे गिड़गिड़ाए ।

एक बार देवराज इन्द्र अपनी सभा में बैठे थे, तो उन्हे खुद पर अभिमान हो आया।


वे सोचने लगे कि हम तीनों लोकों के स्वामी हैं। ब्राह्मण हमें यज्ञ में आहुति देते हैं और हमारी उपासना करते हैं। फिर हम सामान्य ब्राह्मण बृहस्पति से क्यों डरते हैं ?उनके आने पर क्यों खड़े हो जाते हैं?वे तो हमारी जीविका से पलते हैं। देवर्षि बृहस्पति देवताओं के गुरु थे।

अभिमान के कारण ऋषि बृहस्पति के पधारने पर न तो इन्द्र ही खड़े हुए और न ही अन्य देवों को खड़े होने दिया।देवगुरु बृहस्पति इन्द्र का ये कठोर दुर्व्यवहार देख कर चुप चाप वहां से लौट गए।कुछ देर पश्चात जब देवराज का मद उतरा तो उन्हे अपनी गलती का एहसास हुआ।
