Why are we still allowing UAE-based finance to operate as if it was legit business when it is the heartland of forgery and shadow Fx payments allowing Russian forces to keep murdering Ukranians?

👋 @ec.europa.eu. I know you do not really care anymore about the post-fascist identity of the governments you deal with, nor about your environmental objectives, but are we fine than Meloni uses (green & digital) Next-Gen funds to fund a suspension of road taxes during an election year?

The mainstreaming of fascist tropes in France reached the point where a RN MP finds it ok to defend Bardella by saying: Who remembers what they said to their friends at 17, when you might crack a joke to amuse the crowd? Who never drew a swastika with their compass in high school or at university?"

@financialtimes.com is the sharpest Marxist-critical financial newspaper out there (and home to the all-time best pop-situationist section, @alphaville.ft.com), yet also a perennial nesting ground for clunky, ideologically fossilized op-eds from liberal zealots think-tank relics.

When EU growth is wiped out by this summer’s heatwaves and droughts, and Belgium suffers its worst wildfire in history, let’s remember Pierre Wunsch’s, Belgium’s central banker, wise words from March 2025: ‘Climate change will never cost us more than one large oil shock.’

In 2026, 11 years after the Paris Agreement, the flurry of net zero pledges peak oil discourses and even in the midst of the IA boom/bubble, the best way to increase your wealth on the markets is still to put your money on fossil fuel compagnies.

In Europe, we suffocate in thermal ovens. Lack of proper rentals' regulation and private equity gobbling up housing markets organise one of the largest wealth transfers from the poorest to the richest. EU wants to solve this housing crisis. Guess how?👇

Do you know this book? By a Jewish-Marxist economist inflitrated at the Mitteleuropäischer Wirtschaftstag in the first half of the 1930's, deploying a materialist analysis of industry factions supporting (or not) nazi regime. Truly fascinating and recently reedited in French.

@benbraun.eurosky.social asked me to share my latest rant on chatbot's use in academic writing. Here it is. The main message is: using chatbots to write your paper is bad practice, making us loose much time for nothing and exposes you to reputational risk. Journals must adapt policies accordingly

The ECB just rose its interest rates, against Ormuz's related inflationnary pressures. No alternative was discussed. Inflationnary pressures come from our fossil fuel dependence. Rising IR kills the EU renewable energy industry. Why excempting renewables from rising IR wasn't discussed? Why?

Change my view: carbon credits are one of the most vicious technocractic/technological fantaisies about our ability to engineer the ecological "transition", perpetuating old and dirty forms of domination under shiny new market savy clothes. Fascinating research here.

Brilliant take from @triofrancos.bsky.social. The Western green movement was so fugace. And the Great Green Dismantling started well before the Trump 2.0 fascist backlash: weak politicians, powerful carbon lobbies, disorganised green industry, mediocre conservatives lurred into "antiwoke" narratives

My only use of Chat GPT is to provide same readings than my students' assignements to check whether they used it. In its newer version, without me asking for it, chapgpt automatically proposes potential student's users to blatantly lie & cheat. Just ban this shit from our universities.

Relying on LLMs to get your diploma and is similar to forging PhD research for boosting your political career in Germany You think it creates shortcuts and notability for getting the top job. But as you are only interested in the CV line, you don't learn anything. And one day, you are exposed.

Could you describe how markets move from euphoria to panic when a bubble bursts? Yes, of course. The shift occurs when more market participants starts to bet that the golden bullshit will be perceived more as bullshit than gold by other market particpants. Do we have indicators? Some.
