It seems to me no coincidence that the decline of social media (and pray it is so) started just as content generated by artificial intelligence really got going.

Almost every headline today screams that Europe has been humiliated, Trump wins, and we’ll pay 15% tariffs.

That story is wrong.

Trump hasn’t won. The EU hasn’t lost. And Americans—not Europeans—will foot the bill.

My latest piece explains why this deal may actually be a small win for Europe. 👇
Trump didn’t win. Europe didn’t lose
The new tariff deal looks like a humiliation for the EU. In reality, Americans will foot the bill—and Europe may have scored a quiet victory

All military aid from the U.S. to Ukraine from 2014-2024 has cost the U.S. tax payer $19.94 per person per year.

In return they got to destroy Russia’s entire Soviet equipment inheritance and still complain it is a bad deal

With the off cuts of the bookshelf, I made this little box, following Mr. Sellers’ instructions. I am happy with my first ever shot at dovetails.

Built a bookshelf out of tulipwood. Lots of mistakes, but it still came out nice (I am told 😅).

Dopo le stime disastrose dell’andamento del Pil nel primo quadrimestre del 2025, Trump ha accelerato la ridefinizione del calcolo del Pil. Un altro passo di una guerra ai dati oscurantista e tipica dei regimi autoritari. Ne scrivo su Substack. 👇
La guerra alla realtà: perché la scomparsa dei dati rafforza l’autoritarismo
Se i dati che descrivono il mondo e misurano gli effetti delle decisioni pubbliche diventano inaccessibili, allora si possono manipolare a piacimento numeri e fatti. La realtà, in una parola
