"Crack-up capitalism" by Quinn Slobodian. Capitalism loves authoritarianism and non-democratic economic "zones" "perforating" the nation-state. Liberal capitalism becomes the exception even in the West as we're told by libertarian eccentrics that Dubai dystopia is the model to follow.

Voici les anomalies de température du fameux été 1976 et de sa sécheresse mémorable, comparées à celles de l'été 2025.
Graphe montrant la température moyenne durant les étés 1976 à gauche et 2025 à droite. La couleur varie en fonction la différence entre cette température et la moyenne 1981-2010. De bleu foncé à blanc, on est en dessous de cette moyenne, de blanc à rouge foncé on est au dessus. 

En 1976, une large partie de l'Europe est bleue 
En 2025 tout est rouge.

Oxford, the longest running continuous weather station in UK history, with temperature observations stretching back to 1815, has preliminarily broken its maximum temperature record for May yesterday by OVER 3ºC with a temperature of 33.7ºC. Unprecedented in its 211-year history.
Spaghetti chart showing Oxford Radcliffe Observatory daily maximum temperatures for every day of the year from 1815 to 2026. 211 years of historical data are shown as very faint grey lines tracing a seasonal cycle from around 5°C in winter to a summer peak of roughly 25–30°C in July and August. A blue smoothed 30-day mean line highlights the average annual temperature cycle. The 2026 line is shown in bold red, running from January through to late May before spiking sharply upward to reach 33.7°C on 26 May, well above the entire historical grey envelope for that time of year. A single dashed red reference line marks the previous May record of 30.6°C set on 29 May 1944. The 2026 reading exceeds this by 3.1°C and, in statistical terms, is the 6th most anomalous maximum temperature in Oxford's 211-year record, ranking as the most anomalous May maximum ever observed and coming within 0.6°C of the all-time June record of 34.3°C set in 1976.

1926: the BBC decided women should not be radio announcers: "The...physical strain...is greater than could be borne by the average woman", & "there is something incongruous in a woman announcing weighty news bulletins or...football results". The decision was rapidly reversed after public derision.
