What folks need to realize about "peace talks" is that this is all theater for Washington. Ukraine knows that Russia has no intention of stopping the war, and the Russians know the Ukrainians know that. So this is just all a performance for Trump, hoping he blames the other for the lack of peace.

The "AI bubble" (actually a hyperscaling data centre model) has popped.
It may not lead to a market crash but I can't see investor confidence recovering.

The UK wants the EU to treat them as equals.
But the EU is composed of 27 member states.
By demanding equal status with the EU in toto the UK is demanding it be treated as the most important country in Europe over and above the interests of EU member states.

It basically skins bacteria alive and has a very simple molecular structure.
Pencillin needs to get into a bacteria and jam a organelle inside the bacteria like gum in a lock. Powerful but also evolutionarily tenuous.
Interesting source, nothing kills bacteria better than other bacteria.

There is an interesting thing about solar that most people don't realize.
Panels are so cheap now that the highest cost by far is the installation which is local labour.
So money spent on solar boosts the local economy and improves a nationals transfers of payments in its favour.

Spain is thriving now because 1898, and then 1975, left it as the big Western state with the fewest illusions about its place in the world. That's why, today, it's the European player with the most globally open and realistic foreign policy.
From the Spanish point of view, this is very particular. Spain is not immune to the reactionary wave, but it’s interesting how the 2008 crisis is shaking the west much like the disaster of 1898 did to Spain:
The Anglo consensus of the first half of 2010s was that where continental Europeans were endemically subject to crises and demagoguery, "we" were distinctly were more enlightened. Cameron's Britain. Obama's America. Ponderous essays about Magna Carta and the "golden thread".
How wrong it all was.

You can only fight post truth politics with technocratic means if:
a) the post truth forces are small and lack support
and
b) the society is high trust with strong institutions.
Otherwise it means mass political engagement.

We think of evidence based medicine as this time honoured tradition but contemporary evidence review is only thirty years old.
Most people don't even know what it is.
This makes it an easy target for attack by the far right (RFK etc)
Defending it must be broad based not purely technocratic.
