Le drame de ce pays : tu veux supprimer le Conseil supérieur de la construction et de l’efficacité énergétique, une agence publique et paf levée de boucliers des diagnostiqueurs immo qui n’auraient plus voix au chapitre des négociations législatives sans ça.

Je ne sais pas trop comment en parler tellement c'est insignifiant par rapport à ce que d'autres vivent . Ces derniers jours j'étais à Odessa, Ukraine, une ville romantique de bord de mer.

The graffito of a horse at Birdoswald Roman Fort on Hadrian’s Wall in Cumbria. The horse is carved into one of the stones at the base of the remains of the drill hall - easy to miss! 📸 My own. #RomanFortThursday #RomanBritain #Birdoswald

After X’s repressive actions, hundreds of thousands in Turkey joined Bluesky, seeking a freer space. Reports of government censorship here are deeply troubling. Don’t squander this trust. This is a critical moment for principled leadership—not silent compromise. @jay.bsky.team

My new CityLab story was partly inspired by DC's Mayor Muriel Bowser, who needlessly scrapped long-planned cycle lanes on Connecticut Ave that would've given the city's bike network a huge upgrade (and saved lives).

“African expatriates in the Assyrian capital of Nimrud in 732 BC were arguably the first diasporic community from beyond Egypt to travel outside their continent.” www.africanhistoryextra.com/p/the-knight...

counterpoint: there is no professional standards body and no qualification for being an "economist", the profession has nurtured these idiots and now has to own them. "Economist" should not be a term of respect indicating a guarantee of competence and the sooner the public learn this the better

Ca fait plus de 27 ans que j'entends ce discours idiot à propos d'un faux problème... Mais bon, demander à un politicien de connaître les bases de l'économie, c'est comme essayer d'apprendre à chanter à un cochon... Stérile et ça emm... le porc... medium.com/@claudenocta...

This planet is so doomed

Americans! Yes, the tariffs make you look silly. Yes, we are laughing at you. Some tips on dealing with the humiliation, from Brexit Britain. We know your pain. - on.ft.com/42tt3kH

Pour @lefigaro.fr, j'ai tenté d'apporter quelques éléments pour expliquer le déclassement des bac +5 et ai essayé de pointer ses effets plus insidieux (généralisation du flex office, délitement des loisirs bourgeois, etc.).

J'ai vaguement dynamité, dispersé, ventilé... #EspritDeCor 🤭

The FT going hard right now.

While generally I think China is in a stronger position on this trade war, the rare earths stuff is completely paper-tiger nonsense that will just shift more of the rare earths supply chain from China: 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/b...

Elon Musk now admits his Department of Government Efficiency will produce only 15% of the savings it promised. But even that estimate is inflated with errors and guesswork. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/u...

Argentina should try this argument at the next visit of the IMF

Really proud that Fall of Civilizations came in at number 6 on the Sunday Times bestseller list today! Thank you so much to everyone who pre-ordered and helped spread the word.

I’m glad people are out there asking the important questions about emerging technologies. Such as “why DO so many AI company logos look like bum holes?” velvetshark.com/ai-company-l...

America’s green bond market has collapsed.

All the downsides of tariff uncertainty, none of the revenue

Trump losing at tariff chicken

La goinfrerie des sociétés de gestion du droit d'auteur est sans limite. Ils veulent créer une taxe sur la revente de livres d'occasion, non pas pour les auteurs (prétexte habituel) mais pour alimenter leur réservoir à subventions actualitte.com/article/1231...

Et encore une nouvelle taxe sur les plateformes numériques. Et comme d'habitude, une tambouille franco-française, qui risque de se fracasser sur le mur du droit européen. Le lobby de la Culture arrivera-t-il un jour à tirer les leçons de ses (nombreux) échecs ? www.francetvinfo.fr/culture/livr...

How much do you think it costs to make a pair of Nike shoes in Asia? Before you open this thread, take a guess. Settle on a number and then compare it to what you'll learn in this thread. 🧵

Trump has perfected the art of Pareto Worsening, a change in allocation making at least one person worse off without making a single person better off. Trade war, Medicaid cuts, science cuts, there are no winners here, only losers.

The thing about Europe: it's the actual land of the free now. Whatever problems Europe has - and it has plenty - it is looking pretty damn good by comparison these days. My Charlemagne this week www.economist.com/europe/2025/...

the way in which the US economic system seems to kill people who can't cope with it is a genuine public health emergency, but the rate at which it seems to kill people who are by any reasonable criterion succeeding is also a serious policy issue

Italian newspaper: “Trump kisses markets’ ass” (fr fr)

although obviously some preservation of the global supply chain is important and question marks over policy uncertainty they are important too, I think we shouldn't lose sight of the most important fact which is that the orange guy absolutely crumbled and gave up like the massive loser he is.

Small beer in retrospect, but one of the little experiments of post Brexit life wasn't just pricing - it's that stuff simply stops being available

Je me demande quelle proportion de ceux qui se moquent des propos de Borne sur la réflexion scolaire dès la maternelle, dans le même temps, choisissent avec soin le parcours de leurs enfants, établissements, options, sport et activités parascolaires comprises, des l’entrée en maternelle

La meilleure raison de supprimer le hceres c’est qu’il faudrait supprimer tous les machins dont le nom contient « haut conseil »

I do not think @chadpbown.com realized when he launched it how much work would it be to keep this page updated (amazing resource, by the way).
