In der U-Bahn hat grad ein junger Mann die Schutzfolie von „Der Meister und Margarita“ gezogen und ich beneide ihn sehr darum, das noch einmal ganz neu lesen zu können (und jung)

Interessant, wie wenig interessant es ist, den Nachbarn durchs offene Fenster beim Streiten zuzuhören

“among Ukrainians a new mood of scepticism towards the West is emerging. New polling finds that nearly three-quarters of Ukrainians still back EU membership—but that support has fallen most quickly among the young.” https://t.co/qPQNB6mC57

Für alle Menschen, die glauben, dass es eine einfache Antwort auf die Frage gibt, wie weit Europa wirtschaftlich hinter die USA zurückgefallen ist, gibt's seit einem Newsletter von Paul Krugman vor ein paar Wochen eine mehr verwirrende als erhellende Ökonomendebatte zu beobachten

[Olivier Blanchard @ojblanchard1]

On the Krugman/DeLong/Aghion/Garicano/Bergeaud/et al debate on the central issue of pty US/EU.

Let me admit my total confusion (am I the only one?). There seems to be at least three relevant measurement dimensions: PPP prices versus national prices. Quality adjustments for each. Current versus constant prices. The discussions seem to mix them in various ways. And different concepts: productivity growth, standard of living, consumer surplus.
My plan is to sit down and understand it all. But I am not there.

Companies are starting to question whether soaring AI spending is delivering meaningful returns.

An AI consultant tells us a client recently spent half a billion dollars in a month after failing to put usage limits on Claude licenses for employees. https://t.co/JHJ9Ojt9Hs

Carlo #Petrini ci ha lasciati. Era un rivoluzionario. Ha cambiato la cultura del cibo, ha inventato #SlowFood e #TerraMadre. Persona unica, vicina agli umili e capace di parlare ai potenti, e’ stato per cinquanta anni un amico carissimo. Addio Carlin, riposa in pace

Schönste Erinnerung an die Stunden in Bra, bester Erklärer der so natürlichen Verbindung von Genuss und Verantwortung, grazie per tutto, grande maestro!

Hab heut zum ersten Mal im echten Leben gesehen, dass jemand auf einer Bananenschale ausrutscht. Es war erstaunlich unspektakulär.

Podcasts kill nonfiction books and sorry not sorry but it’s a shame

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

"Dad books" — which this article, and some publishing insiders, use to describe "serious nonfiction" books across biography, current affairs and business and economics — are reportedly in a free fall, with sales declining every year for the last few years

“The trend couldn’t be clearer,” said Jonathan Karp, the former chief executive of Simon & Schuster and publisher of the new Simon Six imprint.

“When we have internal meetings to talk about this problem, it always comes around to podcasts,” said Jonathan Burnham, president and publisher of the Harper Group at HarperCollins Publishers.

Ich bin skeptisch, weil es eine so unterkomplexe Erklärung ist, aber es ist schon sehr sehr faszinierend und gruselig natürlich auch.

No smoking gun, but the preponderance of evidence points to smartphones, not economics, as the culprit for the global drop in fertility:
• In the US and UK, births fell first and fastest in areas that got 4G earliest
• Birth rates were stable in the US, UK and Australia until 2007; in France and Poland until 2009; in Mexico and Indonesia until 2012; in Ghana, Nigeria and Senegal until 2013-15
Each of these inflection points matches local smartphone adoption (see picture).
• The younger the age group, the sharper the drop.
• in-person socialising among young adults is dropping. In SK, by 50% in 20 years
• Sexual dysfunction is higher among heavy social media user
• Effect is largest in culturally traditional societies — Middle East, Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa
• Decline holds across countries hit hard by GFC 2008 and those not hit, fast-growing and not growing.
Excellent again @jburnmurdoch.

Ich stand an der Kassa hinter einer jungen Frau, die knapp 20 Kleidungsstücke zurückgab und dafür eine Gutschrift erhielt. Es ist offenbar günstiger, diese produzierten, gelieferten, aber ungetragenen Sachen wegzuschmeißen, als sie wieder zu verkaufen.Da stimm doch was grob nicht

Diese Gen-Z-Kurzrezensionen, die die Verlage gerade auf Insta durchspielen, sind vielleicht der bisher beste Hinweis darauf, warum sich einige Neuerscheinungen in diesem Frühjahr so lesen, als sollte man nicht mehr als zwei Floskeln brauchen, um sie zu beschreiben
