I see a lot of well meaning people (not OP) who like to talk about countries (usually the ones they're from or have an affinity with) as being steadfast bastions in the new cold war and I cannot stress enough that you have failed the assignment if you think this

My weekend essay in
@unherd.com
on why central bank independence is a distraction. The real danger lies not with unelected technocrats but in the aggrandisement of power by authoritarians and the global financial sectorâthatâs true even for the Fed.

Se oye decir que al menos hay que agradecerle a Trump la transparencia. Nunca estoy de acuerdo. Yo muero en esta colina: la violencia hipĂłcrita es mejor que la violencia honesta. Si el vicio tiene que rendirle homenajes a la virtud, es que hay virtud en alguna parte. La hipocresĂa es civilizaciĂłn.

Electric vehicles with off-grid solar are competitive with or cheaper than old style petrol/gaslone vehicles in many African countries before 2030; and cheaper in all countries by 2040 - often by a wide margin. That's even allowing for (high) financing costs.

THREAD. This can be an important educational moment for progressive people who don't work in or study the punishment bureaucracy. Having spent 20 years in it--and just publishing a book on exactly this topic--I can say that reality works in the opposite way that Jamelle assumes.

If I had to predict what the future of the AI labs are, I would say XAI and OAI wind up roadkill, Anthropic becomes a premium-priced B2B SAAS company, Google wins consumers via the ad cross-subsidy, and Meta/Chinese open source models monopolize âspecialized use casesâ ie goonbots

While everyone is distracted by Circus Trump, European countries let his far-right sponsor and mentor of JD Vance in via the backdoor. No European government should work with Palantir. None.

I think there's something extra grim about the former Prime Minister of Estonia being the one doing this equivocating. A tiny country next to a much larger, hostile regime has rather a lot to fear from the notion of "we can kidnap a leader we don't like" being even partway normalised. Pathetic!

RIP Claudia Cardinale. Much like Robert Redford, she was a rare case of a beautiful performer with a filmography full of bangers who did NOT become right-wing later in life. Here she is punching fascist Brigitte Bardot in the face in Les Pétroleuses (1971).

Best response to fusion gag. "I started working on fusion in 1966. I did my masterâs thesis at MIT in plasma physics, and at that time people thought weâd have fusion by 1980. It was only 14 years away. By 1980 it was 20 years away. By 2000 it was 35 years away."
