Ragebait is everywhere. Should marketers lean in?
Whether brands intentionally rile up audiences or unintentionally get caught up in the culture wars, experts say they should be prepared for the consequences of short-term, bad-faith engagement.

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved.

Russia's latest budget figures (January–October) are out, and it's becoming increasingly clear that the budget deficit will be higher than expected. After 10 months, 80% of the budget has already been spent — compared to the normal rate of 74%.

Europeans should be clear-eyed about the world we actually live in.
And be lucid about the fact that the transatlantic relationship in its old guise is gone for good.
Once you do that, then watch Max lay out the implications.

What will it take for Europe to defend itself with reduced American support?
@maxbergmann.bsky.social outlines key vulnerabilities that would be created from a withdrawal of US forces––and how Europe can work cohesively to guarantee its own security.

Rarmament won’t turn things around. As the FT's Storbeck notes, Germany employs fewer people building tanks than making toys.

Ukridge? Psmith? Wooster? Hard disagree, stick to football
With few exceptions (eg the plot of Macbeth and the character of Jeeves), all Shakespeare and Wodehouse plots and characters are forgettable or contrived, which only underlines how astonishingly brilliant their language has to be to make them the greatest playwright and comic novelist in English.
