[Internet Archive @internetarchive]

🎉 To mark the 30th anniversary of the @InternetArchive on May 10, we’re opening the yearbook to revisit the Class of 1996; the sites & organizations that helped shape the early web.

Before feeds, before algorithms, before we assumed everything online would last forever, this was the era that set it all in motion: Yahoo! Quake, Hotmail, The Onion and the archivists preserving it all.

Join us in the coming days as we celebrate THE CLASS OF '96 🎓

Destroying the @InternetArchive's @WayBackMachine would be the equivalent of the burning of the Library of Alexandria - one of the worst losses of knowledge in history.

Media giants are now threatening to do this.

We can't let this happen.

Pass it on.

[Our World in Data @OurWorldInData]

📊 How much do governments spend, and what do they spend it on?

In the chart, we see total government spending broken down by purpose, such as health, education, and defense, relative to the size of the economy (as measured by GDP). This is shown for a selection of OECD countries.

How much governments spend varies quite a lot across OECD countries: in France it’s 57% of GDP, while in Chile it’s less than half that (28%).

Keep in mind that these are relative shares, not absolute amounts. GDP itself varies considerably across countries, so the same percentage can represent very different sums depending on the size of a country’s economy.

For some categories, such as social protection — which includes things like pensions, unemployment benefits, disability support, and other benefits — the difference across countries is relatively large. For example, it’s 26% in Finland compared to 7.9% in the US.

In other categories, such as public services — which include things like paying interest on government debt, the running of core government functions, and foreign aid — the share is more similar across countries.

This data comes from the OECD’s Government at a Glance dataset, which covers 47 countries. Our colleague @parriagadap recently updated our charts with the latest release.

Today we’re announcing Collab Holdings, a different approach to private equity for extraordinary consumer brands. As the world gets faster, more synthetic, more algorithmically optimized, people reach for things that feel slow, crafted, and real. The companies that serve this instinct represent one of the most interesting opportunities in consumer investing.

It’s not a straight shot to the far side of the Moon! 🌕

Over approximately 10 days, the Artemis II astronauts will orbit Earth twice before looping around the far side of the Moon in a figure eight and returning home.
