New York City, we have no excuse to be bored this summer. The map at https://t.co/Wt1RgEfgey is full of free and affordable stuff to do -- sports, music, arts, movies, video games and more -- in every borough.

The city is your backyard. Get out there and enjoy it.

Wer außer dem Nius-Feuilletonchef sonst noch da war? NSU-Unterstützer André K., „Knockout 51“-Kader Eric K., „KdN“- Deptolla, Michi Brück („Freie Sachsen“) und und und. Who is who der deutschen Neonaziszene, rechtsextreme Gewalttäter und Terror-Unterstützer. Stark.

What happens when the state quietly disappears? A new paper finds that support for populism in Italy (2008–18) rose where hospitals closed, especially in remote municipalities. Greater distance to public services reinforced feelings of abandonment and boosted populist voting.

I will die on this hill: Angela Merkel broke Germany and probably Europe. In the wreckage of post-2008, she was uniquely positioned to choose social welfare over austerity. She chose austerity. Centrists loved her. But the fascists are now stronger than they’ve been in decades.

España tiene claro el camino: electrificación, energías renovables y autonomía energética. Desengancharnos de los combustibles fósiles no es solo una apuesta climática: también es una apuesta por nuestra soberanía y nuestra competitividad.

Y esa transformación necesita de más inversión en interconexiones y en descarbonización.

diet coke shortage in India is actually a global aluminium crisis story. aluminium prices up 14-20% in April alone. not enough cans to put the drink in. the product exists. the factory is running. the can isn’t there. supply chains are wild.

Das Wirtschaftsministerium hat beim EnBW-Konzern Vorschläge bestellt, die Batteriespeicher bei den Auktionen für ein Strom-Backup benachteiligen würden. Im Lobbyregister wurde das erst nach Anfrage des SPIEGEL vermerkt. https://t.co/Xz9310vSU9

“Iran’s actions are putting global economic stability at risk.” - just said von der Leyen.

Not the US. Not Israel, but Iran.

On whose behalf is @vonderleyen Leyen speaking?

No EU member state, not even Germany, frames this crisis as Iran’s alone. That’s not a European position.

And it makes even less sense when Italy and Spain have denied US forces access to their bases, and most EU governments openly oppose the war.

She’s trying to save the transatlantic relationship but there may be nothing left to save.

»Können wir jetzt endlich eine ernsthafte Diskussion über antifaschistische Wirtschaftspolitik führen?«

Das war meine Reaktion auf die Wiederwahl von Trump. Die Frage stellt sich bei jedem Rekordergebnis der AfD.

[Alberto Alemanno 🇪🇺 @alemannoEU]

How credible is it for the EU Commission to urge Europeans to cut energy consumption after spending months weakening climate obligations, backing new gas imports, and dismantling the very regulatory architecture designed to reduce fossil fuel dependency?

A Middle East crisis spiked energy prices by 70%. And suddenly renewables are strategic again.

But emergency appeals to work from home and fly less don’t substitute for structural policy.

Scaling up non-fossil generation is the only way to durably decouple Europe from fossil fuel shocks.

The Commission knew this. It chose otherwise. Now it’s asking citizens to pay for that choice.

[Isabella M Weber @IsabellaMWeber]

Der Energieschock ist schon hier. Seine Konsequenzen kommen Schlag auf Schlag. Der Benzinpreis ist nur der Anfang. Düngemittel, Lebensmittel, Halbleiter. Essenzielle Güter für Menschen und Produktion sind betroffen. Eine weitere Inflation der Ungleichheit rollt auf uns zu.

Unsere Analyse @surplusmagazin

[Javier Blas @JavierBlas]

India has bought ~60 million barrels of Russian oil in March, and already booked a similar amount for delivery in April.

The purchases are at a premium of $5-$15 a barrel **above** the Brent benchmark. And current prices, that’s worth >$6.5 billion for each month.

Putin wins.
