🇪🇺 European officials fear that restrictions against the Aughinish Alumina plant could leave the EU's auto, defense and energy industries without critical raw materials, - FT Irish company is owned by Russia's Rusal. In the first five months of 2026, the plant sent 52% of its production to Russia…

I just saw a meme that said “get in losers, we’re reclaiming the emdash”. People. PEOPLE. Where are your STANDARDS? It CLEARLY should be “get in, losers — we’re reclaiming the em dash.”

“Dublin… perhaps the worst housing shortage in the world. … rents in the city have risen more than twofold in a decade, outpacing increases in incomes…. The proportion of 25-34 year olds in Ireland living with their parents [went] from 19% to 42%, more extreme than …London, NY and SF”

I just had root canal work. The dentist told me to put in my headphones and distract myself with tunes. Mid-way through drilling, I got the phone call tune in my ears! I told the dentist to stop and turned the phone towards my face to see... it was the dental surgery reception, about the next appt.

i know someone who was on the McKinsey forward team at Facebook which restructured their oversight program. the brief they were given was, explicitly, "how long of a runway do we have where we can utterly ignore our consent decrees and European privacy law before we get caught. design around that."

It's probably time European journalists wrapped their heads around Heat Index (temp + relative humidity). In high humidity, sweating is less efficient, making heat worse, e.g.: Experiencing 35°C in London UK (70% RH) is more dangerous than 50°C in Phoenix Arizona (15% RH)

Europe has the same problem. I know plenty of people who would love to work for European companies or European governments but the salaries are just absurdly low compared to what they make in US companies Competitive talent needs competitive wages, even if not equal

William B. Fuckley@opinionhaver.bsky.social · 2mo ago

letting Uncle Sam pay competitive wages (don't have to be equal, just in the same ballpark) for tech/engineering people is one of those things that would be unpopular short term but would fix so much shit long run

I reposted this earlier without comment but have now read the report. It's excellent & of particular value in disaggregating SM & CU effects.

New research from me and @antonspisak.bsky.social – we identify how much Brexit has reduced goods and services trade with the EU, and what’s responsible: leaving the customs union or the single market? Answers: large hit to trade, mostly due to single market exit 🧵 www.cer.eu/insights/cos...
