The @financialtimes.com front pages tonight. Trump’s war on Iran hasn’t endeared him to voters; the ayatollah’s funeral; and cider wars in Europe. In the UK, the FCA warns that people are seeking personal financial advice from AI, and easyJet is probably going American. #tomorrowsfrontpagestoday

Dear sir/madam, May I interest you in a product with a strong track record (four centuries) that will satisfy your information needs in an efficient package? It is called a news paper. It consists of sheets of pulped wood, printed with various items of the day. I think you will find it beneficial.

Spot on. The rising tide of conspiracy-theory-brain thinking … what does it mean for democracy when nobody has any idea what content everyone else is consuming? www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

LRB extract: The simple, transparent equilibrium of the market has been replaced with the opaque disequilibrium of value extraction – or what might otherwise be called a scam. This is, at least in part, what happens in a capitalist society when profits remain high but productivity and wage growth stagnate. Things no longer add up.
