I missed this on budget day - Reeves kept the UK's digital services tax. A spot of good news! No sense asking Big Tech to pay less.

Once more, Ribera takes no bullying and stands up for Europeans. Showing the rest of the Commission how it's done
The European digital rule-book is not up for negotiation.
We, Europeans, have adopted our rules to ensure fair markets and to protect consumers rights while backing Europe’s digital future.
It’s our duty to preserve our values and to defend our people. 🇪🇺

Huh. Smart cookie, Lucy Prebble, I hadn’t seen they brought back Enron the Musical in London this fall.
I’d go to an AI Crash musical. But what genre should it be: glam rock, to go with Jensen’s jackets? Opera, for glorious excess?

$NVDA now in the “we’re totally not Enron, guys” phase of this cycle. 😬
In the memo, “Nvidia also responds to claims that the ‘current situation is analogous to historical accounting frauds (Enron, WorldCom, Lucent) that featured vendor financing and SPVs [special purpose vehicles.)’”

Europe in dangerous territory. Putting democratic protections on the chopping blocks for trade concessions invites a slippery slope. Increasingly tariff negotiations cuts at the heart of European national security.

Lutnick is back, with another 'shred your law and roll over for Trump and Big Tech or your heavy industry gets it' threat.
No dodging this test of wills. We heard some will in Berlin last week - Merz, Macron. Will we hold?

8675309 is prime, and so is 8675311, so if you ever need a middlin'-large pair of adjacent primes to test your cryptographic suite, all you need is a 1980s earworm and a +2 and you're all set.
Man, everything is so bleak, anyone got a fun fact or little bit of trivia they want to share

Takeaways from #eurosky: big tech social media displaced journalism, a core pillar of democracy, and has been bad for society. EU lawmakers want European, privacy-centered tech. There are still questions of whether the internet is worth building on and what to build. But they are talking about it

Yes. If we don't like this - another tech oligarch metastasising into a media mogul - we should support breaking up Google's profit engine (adtech). EC's final decision is on deck. DOJ's closing its breakup case tomorrow - my birthday! Structural separation, at this point, is the moderate stance.

FoTI hosted (if I say so myself!) a fab Chatham House roundtable about this yesterday with @openmarkets.bsky.social, Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, concerned businesses and more.
A new consensus is forming - the old one is crumbling.
Brace for a hell of a lot of sovereignty-washing as it falls, tho.
