This is a sad start to 2026. nltimes.nl/2026/01/01/ams…

This is fascinating. I have so many questions. Which of these technologies will prove viable in the long term? Which ones will work in the West? And how will the massive debt that’s financing them play out for China’s economy?nytimes.com/interactive/20…

What an unsettling story! Investigative pieces like this are one of the reasons I subscribe to @nytimes. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Trump will not get a third term. As Professor Scott Galloway has said, biology will take care of that. nytimes.com/2025/11/25/us/…

Just to be clear - given recent drivel on line - Comet 3I/Atlas is a comet, made of carbon dioxide and water ices and bits of other stuff. It is entirely natural in origin, its orbit is as expected and it will whizz around the sun and then disappear off into the galaxy again. If it ever encounters another inhabited solar system in the far future I hope the living things there are more sensible than us and enjoy it for what it is - a visitor from elsewhere in the galaxy - a pristine lump of rock and ices which formed around a distant, maybe long-dead star billions of years ago and many light years away, just passing through. Isn’t that wonderful enough?

Who doesn’t love a bit of ABBA? (Well, my sister-in-law actually.) But two academic monographs on their song, ‘Fernando’. Seriously?! 🤣 newyorker.com/books/under-re…

The word ”unseemly” comes to mind. Putin and Xi Jinping must be loving this. nytimes.com/live/2025/06/0…

About 10 years ago, Hudson’s Bay opened several department stores here in the Netherlands. The shops were lovely with good-quality merchandise, but there weren’t a lot of customers and they didn’t last long. nytimes.com/2025/06/01/wor…

There were stories like this during the first Trump administration. Was anyone in this Missouri town paying attention? nytimes.com/2025/05/28/us/…
