I'm surprised to see Euractiv claim it has "wound down... commercial arrangements with authoritarian regimes considering it regularly runs content "supported" by China's mission to the EU.
Is China not considered "authoritarian" these days? Or is Euractiv denouncing deals that are clearly ongoing?

Must-watch: A powerful performance of a pro-immigrant Shakespeare speech by Sir Ian McKellen on Colbert's show; it resonates powerfully today. "This is the strangers' case; And this your mountainish inhumanity." [kottke.org]
The Strangers’ Case
I don’t normally say this, but if you watch one thing on kottke.org today, this week, this month, make it this speech written by Shakespeare and performed by Sir Ian McKellen on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

can't help but think there is probably a corrosive effect of having sex trafficker-elite emails unveiled for months on end as one of the biggest cultural/news stories of the last year— unearthing an inexcusable moral rot in the upper echelons of power—but without any real accountability/justice

People seem surprised a genocide denier who spent 60 years excusing almost every mass murderer in the world is ok hanging out with a man running an international child sex ring.

I'm convinced one of the reasons epstein was able to coast for so long is that for many sensible people including and especially educated liberals, viewing the world through a conspiratorial lens was always seen as vaguely distasteful and rube-coded
as someone who pushes hard against conspiratorial thinking in my professional and political life, it is deeply irritating when, on top of the untold human harms Epstein caused, it turns out he was at the center of at least half a dozen actual conspiracies

Nearly missed this one but Epstein was sending SOMEONE to the Yuri board back in fucking 2011. That's when MY ass was active on site. This is insane to think about.
