I’m very sad to hear that Caroline Miller, boss of Birmingham Royal Ballet, has passed away. She was always full of energy, I can’t believe she’s gone. Her support of ‘Black Sabbath the Ballet’ made sure it happened, a true believer often dealing with sceptics. She will be greatly missed by the company and all who worked with her. Tony

Fructose consumption has increased considerably over the past five decades, due to the widespread use of high-fructose corn syrup as a sweetener. A recent publication shows that fructose supplementation enhances tumor growth in various animal models. The liver converts dietary fructose to lipids that enter the blood, & cancer cells use the lipids to make membranes for proliferation. nature.com/articles/d4158… nature.com/articles/s4158…

This is extraordinary: former French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin delivering an absolutely masterful lecture on diplomacy to Elisabeth Borne (France's PM from 2022 to January 2024) over Gaza. I translated the whole exchange for you 👇 It really depressingly illustrate how starkly the caliber of France's leaders have deteriorated since Villepin's time (he was PM in 2005-2007). Borne embodies the current resignation of European leaders, their defeated shrug of "what can we possibly do if it means opposing the U.S.?" But this learned helplessness raises an obvious question: if we systematically resign and subordinate ourselves, what's even the point of France or Europe? 🤷 By contrast Villepin exemplifies what French & European independence and ambition could actually mean in practice; how much room for action actually exists - if only there was political courage to use it instead of hiding behind "beautiful words". Most crucially, he details the catastrophic consequences of our current passivity: our silence on Gaza isn't just destroying international law and Europe's supposed founding principles, it's enabling a dangerous escalation that risks transforming this conflict into a civilizational confrontation that could tear Europe apart. What makes this exchange so powerful is how it captures two radically different Europes in dialogue: Villepin's Europe of diplomatic initiative, moral clarity, and strategic independence versus today's Europe of resignation, irrelevance, and voluntary submission. Between these two visions, the choice should be obvious. That our leaders consistently choose the latter is the tragedy of our time.
