Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

The US federal attack on Portland has resulted in the best advertisement for a city that I have ever seen. Round-the-clock joy, community solidarity and silliness that much of the West has lost and longs for.

A teacher in Idaho has been told to remove posters reading "Everyone is welcome here" - specifically because it features different skin tones. As I wrote last week, this is a global political movement that has explicitly set the goal of eradicating the very concept of equality.

These lines, from 20th century literary great Lu Xun, have been doing the rounds on Chinese social media of late:
勇者愤怒
The brave, when angered
抽刃向更强者
Draw their blades against those who are stronger
怯者愤怒
The cowardly, when angered
却抽刃像更弱者
Draw their blades against those who are weaker

It was a lot longer than a decade. China's 10th five year plan, introduced in *2001*, laid the groundwork for the EV transition. When I lived in Shenzhen, in 2009, the local government had already begun making the bus fleet electric-only. In 5 years they replaced them all - 16,000 in total.

"Can ‘mainstream media’ survive the second Donald Trump era?" is an odd framing. Corporate media, which principally serve people like Trump, will be perfectly fine. *Public interest journalism*, on the other hand, will continue to be eradicated by those same interests.

Incredible scenes over on Threads, where Meta is suspending people for mentioning Trump's enthusiasm for Hitler, and even for criticising Hitler. Threads' public relations response has been to lie about the suspensions.
