Writing for the algorithm? @cfieschi.bsky.social talking to @catherinedevries.bsky.social. Can something be 'shareable' without losing its complexity? What do you think @sbeverts.bsky.social @anthonyzach.be @garethbxl.bsky.social ?

Thank you @catherinedevries.bsky.social for a wonderful conversation about writing. We don’t think often enough about what drives us to write, and the nature of the experience. It was a pleasure to do so on a sunny summer morning!

Bon, Poutine n’est pas en Turquie. Nouvelles sanctions Européennes contre la Russie des lundi, n’est-ce pas?

I hate to think his last official meeting was with that creepy little shit Vance…

Shredding the Postwar Order | Fintan O’Toole Donald Trump is reshaping relations between Europe and the US more dramatically than at any time since World War II.

@fotoole.bsky.social brilliantly trenchant as always on Trump’s obsessions and their impact on Transatlantic relations

Le Pen's ban from elected office has sparked accusations from populist movements of antidemocratic behavior.

But the ruling shows a commitment to the rule of law, which is the only way to counter claims that the system is rigged, says @cfieschi.bsky.social.

“What we are watching is Trump’s tariff-induced crash turning into a Truss-style fiscal crisis. The collapse in US government long bonds, Treasuries, is startling, scary. It is precisely the opposite of what Trump and his advisers expected and wanted”

Oh yeah!!! 😉

Trump says US will 'go as far as we have to' to get control of Greenland President Donald Trump said the U.S. will "go as far as we have to go" to get control of Greenland, ahead of a planned visit to the Arctic island by the vice president.

While all eyes are quite understandably on Ukraine I’m starting to wonder whether the first real NATO/Europe/US dilemma won’t come from Greenland abcnews.go.com/Internationa...

That seems like a drop in the ocean for a country of 1.4 billion people… no?

They were always DOdgy!

🇪🇺🇧🇪The Bundestag has just adopted Merz’s so-called ‘budget bazooka’. This is a truly historic moment. Germany is turning its back on decades of budgetary orthodoxy and massively boosting defence spending. As Merz put it: it’s a ‘giant step toward a European defence community’.

Is Trump trying to topple Zelenskyy? Podcast Episode · The News Agents · 06/03/2025 · 31m

An excellent episode — that also contains a real nugget: the US have forbidden the UK to share their UK intel gathered in conjunction with US with Ukraine. Now *that’s* what I call a special relationship!
podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Past two weeks depicted as joint efforts. Above all a stark warning about the end of an era.

And serious commitment to major increases in French and EU defence spending. Without tax hikes in France — which means spending cuts. Heavy on the fact that ‘the future cannot be based on past habits’. Highly diplomatic language on US. Clearly positioning France in leadership role but not overboard.

Pretty good, short address to the nation by Macron tonight. Heavy emphasis on Russian threat (made a point of taking up Z’s arguments in Oval office re Putin) rather than Trump focus. Opening convo on extending French nukes deterrent to Germany (not a new story, but 1st time Germany has asked).

How JD Vance emerged as the chief saboteur of the transatlantic alliance Vance snaked his way in first to the row between Trump and Zelenskyy, his second intrusion this month after Munich

Yes: so striking that Vance picked the fight. This was a planned attack designed to corner and humiliate Zelensky. Obscene, and the direct continuation of Vance’s Paris and Munich behaviour.
www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I think ‘toerag’ is the perfect word.

What’s also extraordinary is the fact that Vance is the one that lit the fuse and fed Trump his lines. It’s only after Vance decided to fake taking offence that Zelensky lost it and Trump joined in.

Trump tells Zelenskyy he's 'gambling with World War III' in tense exchange President Trump, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and Vice President Vance had a tense exchange about the ongoing war with Russia. Vance asked Zelenskyy if he has ever said "thank you" for U.S. aid and T...
