no one who dodged the military draft should ever be commander in chief!
What a patronizing body language! How can that be a featured children's book?
It does though reflect what my daughter says about #hockey boys: they are toxic - stay away. (I hope this is an inappropriate generalization, but ... not sure).

Good-bye US government bonds?
"The return no longer matches the risk when PFA looks at US government bonds, which is why it said goodbye to this asset class" - The Danish Academic Pension Fund
Nothing to do with politics, they say.
Too high risk relative to returns.

How does this match the fact that many German SMEs have long-term fixed price delivery contracts that they cannot adjust? for example Medizintechnik

... and for people of the grandchildren generation to be held personally (!) responsible for the atrocities when visiting the US back in the 1980/1900s.
“In one of the most astonishing political transformations in the history of democracy,” Hitler destroyed “a constitutional republic through constitutional means,” Timothy W. Ryback wrote in January.

Qianjiadong Reservoir in southern Hunan, China, produces a double harvest: solar energy and yellow carp. The solar farm produces up to 80 megawatts of power while the fish forage beneath the panels. With a massive scale-up of solar and wind at home and cheap exports of the technology, China is driving a worldwide surge of renewable energy—Science’s 2025 Breakthrough of the Year.
Science has named the seemingly unstoppable growth of renewable energy worldwide as the 2025 Breakthrough of the Year.

A year ago, I chose a quote from Mark Carney's book "Values" to motivate reflections on what 'global leadership' means in the global economy.
I wonder if the quote was well chosen, or if, in fact, he himself remembers what he has written ...

Now in print: our Academy of Management Perspectives paper on competition policy in the digital age.
We argue that the principles underlying EU competition policy are sound, but they need to evolve to capture the new sources of market power in the platform economy.

We still need to get from a situation where Russia pretends to negotiate to a situation where they need to negotiate.
Extract from my press remarks following today’s informal Foreign Affairs Council ↓
For no particular reason, I am thinking of Munich today.
in 1938, the West celebrated the Munich Agreement as preventing a major war.
Historians regard it as a massive failure and "a byword for the futility of appeasing expansionist totalitarian states."

we can handle #snow.
we can handle slow clearance of #footpaths.
But snow being dumped from the road onto the footpath makes walking a nightmare!

“We have two purposes: the first is to see as many international residents as possible participate in the elections. The second is to show them that they are welcome,” @martinlidegaard.radikale.dk #dkpol cphpost.dk/2025-10-24/n...
Although many ecosystems can weather several years of moderate drought, consecutive years of extreme dryness push them past a tipping point, resulting in dramatic declines in plant growth, researchers report in Science. https://scim.ag/4ogN9I8
‘Motherhood penalty’: Working moms are paying a steep price amid return-to-office orders
PRO: It saves money and keeps mail affordable. It’s a healthy little walk (But: why do people use a car for less than 100 meters?)
CON: Not convenient for those with mobility impairments, especially in winter. (But: if the box is on the opposite side of the footpath, walking isn’t safe either.)
My daughter: “If this were a movie, something would happen at this mailbox!”
No, #CanadaPost is on strike; nothing happens here today. An opportunity to think about the pros and cons of street mailboxes instead of home delivery.

New sign: the expensive renovation of @westernu.ca Chemistry Parking lot (that removed green strips and 5 trees) REDUCED the number of parking spaces by 5% to accommodate larger cars. Why do people need a pickup truck to commute to work?
No wonder we need to put more green spaces under concrete
Studying @history: What is more depressing, how quickly people discard their values when a new authoritarian leader rises to power, or how quickly these turncoats get tossed out once the new leader doesn't need them any more?
Update: the trees visible at the left and right edges of the right-hand picture have been felled this morning.
