With rising inequality in a situation of high-level inequality, democracy is not compatible with the current neoliberal version of capitalism. Something will have to give. "Socialism" in the 🇺🇸 and the 🇬🇧 is an updated version of 1970s social democracy.

The apriori trash they generate and call it economics:

[ilhan dögüs @ilhandogus]

German economists and chancellor Merz complaining that wages are too high and competitiveness is deteriorating are not capable of contemplating
-Unit labor cost is high because workers are underpaid: Lower productivity
-There is no significant divergence with major trade partners

Excited to see Mr. Kelton's new book jacket. Available for pre-order.

❤️Мы спросили Бориса Юльевича Кагарлицкого: какие книги он мог бы посоветовать подписчикам «Зоны Свободы»? И специально для вас, дорогие читатели, он составил подборку интересной литературы и объяснил, почему вам стоит прочесть именно эти книги

Cписок получился очень субъективным, но именно в этом его главное достоинство.
Устраивайтесь поудобнее, приятного чтения!

📉 Eurozone GDP -0.2% q/q in Q1 2026 (EU = -0.1%).

The twist: France (-0.1%) dragged it down, not Germany (+0.3%). The “sick core” flipped.

Main culprit: net exports (-0.3pp) — exports fell, imports rose. Consumption & govt added just +0.1pp each.

My favorite Scott Pelley piece is this gem from 2011 on the foreclosure fraud crisis of 2006 - 2014ish (@ddayen gets final say on the official timeline) https://t.co/LtSJCxpscA

In the past, socialism was criticized for being too collectivist and not me-first enough. Now it’s criticized for being too me-first and not collectivist enough.

Over two-thirds of all countries are now below the replacement rate of fertility needed for a stable long-term population. India exemplifies why this global slump is happening https://t.co/7LrxRzC6wk

"How can I accept a doctrine which sets up as its bible, above and beyond criticism, an obsolete economic textbook which I know to be not only scientifically erroneous but without interest or application for the modern world?"

Our internal data shows Claude is accelerating AI development—a possible path to recursive self-improvement, or AI autonomously building a more capable successor.

It’s happening faster than we thought, and the implications deserve greater attention. https://t.co/OVVPJO7VQx

In May, the "Hormuz" effect showed up in Russian oil-and-gas revenues for the first time. Note that nominal revenue is not that high in comparison to 22-25. This is mainly because of ruble strength. Also, subsidies to refiners are very expensive (to keep domestic prices low).

Show Amazon how many views this tweet gets. Let them see what they’ve done.

[Joseph Mallozzi 🏴‍☠️ @BaronDestructo]

Sadly, it's true. Amazon has elected not to move forward with the new Stargate series.

There's not much I can add beyond confirming what's happened. But I will say this...

Creator Martin Gero developed a new Stargate series over two years, ultimately crafting a show that offered a fresh jumping-on point for new viewers while deeply respecting existing canon. It was a series that avoided the pitfalls of several modern remakes and reboots by fully embracing the core of its predecessors: action, adventure, exploration, wonder, heart, humor, and found family. And based on that creative vision, the new Stargate series was greenlit in November of 2025.

As of today, officially, that original vision is no more. We'll never get the opportunity to introduce you to that world and those characters - or reintroduce you to, and check in with, some familiar faces from the past.

My heart breaks. For the incredibly talented writers who worked tirelessly to bring this show to life. For Martin who maintained an unwavering positive outlook throughout despite the challenges, and who always strove to make a show that would honor the fans while welcoming a new audiences. And for the long-suffering Stargate fandom who waited so long and came so close to getting a show they truly would have loved.
