I listened to the Joe Rogan podcast with Ben Lamm, whose company is trying to imitate the dire wolf, woolly mammoth etc. As always, an educational experience: www.ft.com/content/4458...

The dire wolf has not been brought back from extinction, but it has been imitated. Is that a good thing? Column for the FT Weekend: www.ft.com/content/4458...

I wrote about a weird aspect of Spain's property crisis - how squatting is now a major controversy. The hard left says people have the right to break into empty flats. The hard right says migrants and gangs are seizing people's homes. Some landlords are hiring heavies www.ft.com/content/04c3...

something darkly funny about a president who has appointed an anti-vaxxer as health secretary justifying tariffs as "medicine"

Fun to imagine Republicans' reaction if Democrats had crashed the stock market and pulled the wrong man off the street and sent him to a jail in El Salvador.

Netanyahu in Washington - I wonder if Trump and Vance will sit him down in front of the cameras in the Oval Office, and ask why he’s not interested in peace talks

Flashback to three months ago: Wall Street was excited because Trump would let say them say the word 'retard' www.ft.com/content/cf87...

Why would the penguins of the Heard and McDonald Islands ship goods to America? Because they can't fly.

If I understand correctly, China may start employing penguins in order to get round tariffs.

Enormously proud of this latest investigation for @bbcradio4.bsky.social Plan Vivo are a niche but influential player in the Voluntary Carbon Offset Market; but they now face questions as to the robustness of their certification process. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

The Israel army said the ambulances that it fired on did not have their lights on. Footage from one of the medics killed shows clearly that statement was false. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Beautiful piece on how the themes of The Great Gatsby relate to Trump's America www.ft.com/content/dd6f...

with apologies to @xkcd.com

why is there no tariff on Whatsapp's rollout of Meta AI?
