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."

The collective delusion here is useful in that it has provoked conservatives to dispense with decades of bootstrap rhetoric and reveal what they would say if they thought black people were people, that is to say, if these things were happening to them

Good thread explaining why all EU options to financially help Ukraine are difficult and the over-complicated (and legally "creative") reparations loan seems to be the best solution after all. Takeaway: Abolish unanimity in budgetary matters or face the need to choose among suboptimal solutions. âŹïž

The best scene in Jaws is when the boat guys sing a traditional sea shanty and Jaws pops out of the water and everyone is terrified but Jaws starts singing as well. There's this unspoken promise in the air that no one will eat anyone until the song ends.

I wanted dinner recommendations so I scraped 13,000+ London restaurants and accidentally discovered Google Maps is running a shadow economy. Anyway here's a dashboard and a political economy thesis:

How Google Maps quietly allocates survival across Londonâs restaurants - and how I built a dashboard to see through it
I wanted a dinner recommendation and got a research agenda instead. Using 13000+ restaurants, I rebuild its ratings with machine learning and map how algorithmic visibility actually distributes power.

Bonkers stuff in the NSS. It is like a far-right caricature of itself. The Trump admin believes it needs to save Europe from itself by backing far-right forces within Europe. As State Dept reprograms funding, get ready for the US to be the funders of far-right civil society in Europe.
