Writing for the algorithm? @cfieschi.bsky.social talking to @catherinedevries.bsky.social. Can something be 'shareable' without losing its complexity? What do you think @sbeverts.bsky.social @anthonyzach.be @garethbxl.bsky.social ?

Thank you @catherinedevries.bsky.social for a wonderful conversation about writing. We don’t think often enough about what drives us to write, and the nature of the experience. It was a pleasure to do so on a sunny summer morning!
Etched in Marble, in her words: “Write with curiosity, not certainty.”
Certainty closes doors. Curiosity keeps them open: for your reader & for yourself.

Le Pen's ban from elected office has sparked accusations from populist movements of antidemocratic behavior.

🇪🇺🇧🇪The Bundestag has just adopted Merz’s so-called ‘budget bazooka’. This is a truly historic moment. Germany is turning its back on decades of budgetary orthodoxy and massively boosting defence spending. As Merz put it: it’s a ‘giant step toward a European defence community’.

Pretty good, short address to the nation by Macron tonight. Heavy emphasis on Russian threat (made a point of taking up Z’s arguments in Oval office re Putin) rather than Trump focus. Opening convo on extending French nukes deterrent to Germany (not a new story, but 1st time Germany has asked).

What’s also extraordinary is the fact that Vance is the one that lit the fuse and fed Trump his lines. It’s only after Vance decided to fake taking offence that Zelensky lost it and Trump joined in.

From Trump via @FT “It’s been a long time since we’ve had an election. You have leadership [in Ukraine] now that’s allowed a war to go on that should have never even happened.” These are the words of a tyrant. They should be enough to force Europe into unity at any cost.
