Being so used to reading news articles online that I think I’ve lost the ability to search for the article on the newspaper. (also, why the hell do articles have different titles online and on the papers?)

We launched the China Index (中文版) with a press briefing on how Beijing shapes narratives & influence in Taiwan. A major challenge is how broad and varied these efforts are, often reaching those left out of the social safety net — a reminder how social gaps can turn into leverage points.

Bardella wants the ECB (read: Banque de France and other Eurosystem banks) to buy an unlimited amount of French debt.
Other eurozone countries will be delighted at the opportunity to co-finance one of the most generous pension systems in Europe.

Not least given that Marx did literally move the HQ of the First International to New York City in 1872 for... reasons...
also our political anthem is literally called the Internationale! it’s far more reasonable for us to care about NYC than it is for right-wingers to care about Trump
The "why do you care so much about the NY mayoral election" takes strike me as pretty obtuse. The world's sole superpower is being taken over by fascists, and this was part of the struggle to define what the opposition to that will look like. That obviously has major implications for all of us?

*Willy Brandt energy intensifies*
i do think they think Mamdani will be like a visible Brandon Johnson level mess and i suspect that Zohran's brand of municipal democratic socialism/social democracy is not going to be that
If you live in Britain, your experience of 21st century government has been relentless escalating calamities by ruling parties: disastrous wars, financial catastrophe, destructive austerity, plummeting living standards, soaring prices, unaffordable housing, constant lying and comical incompetence.

G.E.R. Gedye lived in Vienna as Central Europe correspondent from 1925-1938. I had the privilege to write about his extraordinary yet forgotten book "Fallen Bastions", describing Austria's descent into dictatorship, for @datum.at. It's now also available in English:

A long out-of-print book offers insights into the collapse of democracy in Austria’s First Republic. Today it is more relevant than ever.

Das Überraschende: Wenn man sich mal das große Bild anschaut und ein bisschen zurücktritt, sieht es, zumindest was den Status Quo betrifft, eigentlich ziemlich gut aus.
