”we don’t really care”.
What the last two weeks has made super clear:
It's not just Facebook v. the Digital Services Act (always was); and its not Marjorie Taylor Greene v. the DSA (she doesn't care!)
It's the USA v. the EU
This is geopolitics all the way down.

So… here’s a question to the universe (or to You, if you wish to answer): how many times in a lifetime can a person start ”going to the gym”? I’ve lost count, you see…

An ode to #risotto. My love affair with it started thirty years ago.
“Off-white, unobtrusive, and modestly freckled with parsley, it was as plain to the eye as it was revolutionary to the palate. Never had I tasted such a thing.” Anthony Lane traces his 40-year love affair with risotto.
The Secret History of Risotto
The dish is governed by a set of laws that are rooted in tradition, rich in common sense, and aching to be broken or bent.

”The EU has a chance to cease being a geopolitical teenager and progressively assert itself on the world stage alongside America and China,” said the former Commission President Barroso according to @politico.eu - very true. This teenager just needs to be a bit bolder now! 🇪🇺
