Political ideology is the strongest predictor of Messi-Ronaldo preference. Authoritarians who like short-form video are more likely to think Ronaldo is the GOAT.

RIP to John Blanche, the best to ever do it. Before Warhammer was even Warhammer he understood what it was: weird, gross, unsettling, maximalist.

Graphics and visuals journalists @ashleyjkirk.bsky.social, @alexjclark.bsky.social and Heidi Wilson at @theguardian.com doing excellent work here: "How Trump's isolationism pushed the world to China." #Trump #China #UN
Map of the world, headlined "How Trump's isolationism pushed the world to China: US/China alignment by country, 2024 versus 2025, based on UN voting records"
With little blue arrows indicating "moved towards the US" and little red arrows indicating "moved towards China".
There are far more red arrows than blue arrows.

Text at the bottom of the graphic says: 
"Guardian graphic. Source: Focaldata. Notes: Based on analysis of votes on UN resolutions. A score can move towards either China or US either because they are voting more proactively with that country, but also because they are simply not voting as frequently with the country on the other end of the scale. Some countries unavailable due to insufficient voting data."

Excellent article by @alexjclark.bsky.social in the @theguardian.com about environmental economics. Fantastic graphics, interactive and very balanced in its approach. Have a read and then have a listen to our Environment podcast or ones on Daly or Schumacher. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Economic growth is still heating the planet. Is there any way out?
Rising GDP continues to mean more carbon emissions and wider damage to the planet. Can the two be decoupled?

The employment rate could well be significantly higher than official data suggests. If so, there are implications for interest rates, productivity, an 80% employment target (& a post pandemic narrative). Important new note by Resolution Foundation. www.resolutionfoundation.org/publications...
