Like if you want to read Robert Sapolsky, every book is 700 pages long and dense, but still costs about the same amount. So a company is going to prefer to hook you on a sexy vampire series with 18 entries, over almost anything else.

Sharp column, as usual, on the contradictions in EU policies on migration. One hopes for the brave politician to take the lead on stopping the pandering to the anti-immigrant right.
European states need immigrants but don't want them. How to square that circle? Posture against immigrants while taking in more than ever before but treating them as a permanent second-class serving caste with few rights. Me @financialtimes.com on European kafala as.ft.com/r/7e2026f8-5...

John Maynard Keynes wasn’t just a legendary economic and philosophical thinker, he was also an exceptional investor. Managing King’s College Cambridge’s endowment (1922–1946), he delivered ~15% annual investment returns, outperforming equity markets.

Commuting by bicycle in Belgium pays off as employees earn compensation for every km they ride. 1 in 6 employees commute by bike and get a bicycle allowance of €0.28/km. People cycling to work in 2024 earned an average of around €460 net per year (some as high as €810), up 20% over the past year.
Belgian commutes pay off: Employees earn up to €810 for cycling to work
One in five people in Flanders commuted by bike and received compensation last year, but this figure is significantly lower in Brussels and Wallonia.
