Neues Gesellschaftsspiel für die nahenden dunklen Herbstabende in unserer lieben, kleinen Republik, wenn sich die Familie um den knisternden Kamin schart: Postenschach. Wer gewinnt, kriegt eh alles, was er will. Wer verliert, muss nur in Diversion, und darf weiterspielen, als wäre nichts gewesen.

In today's edition of Morning Post Europe, Camille Lamotte takes a deep dive into the debate over a digital minimum age. Very timely, given recent revelations of Tiktok's algorithm leading kids to pornographic content within just two clicks.

Also, this is a deep, and painful truth my trade should face: "On a business level, your problem with TikTok is this: Platforms exist to erode institutions like CBS News. You cannot solve your problems with improved distribution on TikTok."

Just as a reminder, Bondi’s origin story in Trump world is that she said she was going to investigate Trump University, Trump sent her a $25K check and the investigation disappeared. She later became Trump’s personal defense lawyer. So yeah, don’t challenge her integrity.

Bondi to Blumenthal: "You lied. How dare you? I'm a career prosecutor. Don't you ever challenge my integrity. Do not question my ability to be fair and impartial."

The entire global educational establishment is tiptoeing around the edges of which particular parts of GenAI might or might not be "unethical", when the whole commercial enterprise of GenAI is based on mass theft that would have seen the culprits jailed if they weren't extremely rich white men.

Ok I went there because who else? @ec.europa.eu won't comment on whether, in light of France's apparent incapacity to manage parliamentary democracy, the Revolution of 1789 might, with hindsight, have been precipitated.

Since Gessler kam durch diese hohle Gasse, the Swiss have proven what they do to overbearing foreign powers. One could also ask Charles le Téméraire which soldiers made mincemeat of his Burgundian dreams of European domination back in 1477 in Nancy. The Austrians, on the other hand ...

The Swiss invest in a real army. And if my recollection of "Astérix chez les Helvètes" serves me well, this pugnatious stance towards invaders was already well established in antiquity. Neutralism is rather a mental state of mind, a collective psychological delusion, than a political strategy.

The (void, because underpinned by the tacit hope of being bailed out by NATO when push comes to shove) obsession shared by almost the entire AT political establishment.

"La Matinale Européenne" has an English-speaking sister now!

In my first analysis, I've had a go at Austria's unbearable Neutralism - and the first little cracks appearing in this delusional veneer.
