  1. #FoxNews, #ElonMusk and #RightWing politicians claim that there are far more unsafe places in #Europe that there are in the #US. But the data doesn't bear this out.

    Here's a good summary from #TheEconomist.

  2. The 5 richest countries when work hours count

    The Economist adjusts GDP per person for purchasing power and work hours, using 2024 estimates. Singapore falls to Number 8, Belgium jumps from Number 16 to Number 4, and Norway takes the top spot.

  3. "During this extremely important Brazilian election, The Economist's coverage has been, to be polite, quite off the mark. And it's relevant b/c Brazilian neolib media makes headlines out of it, trying to bestow foreign credibility on their own right-wing biases.

    Economist bad takes include false equivalencies btwn Flávio/Lula, downplaying serious threat of foreign intervention by US & Israel, and endorsement of a right-wing provocateur partially responsible for institutional crisis caused by Dilma's impeachment in 2016, who loves Milei, wants to Make Brazil Bukele Again, and invest in a nuclear weapons program while cutting social spending." - Andrew Fishman, president & co-founder, Intercept Brasil

    „Lastly, the time may come to look at the top. Mr #Merz has got some things right, notably support for Ukraine and restoring #Germany’s armed forces. His reformist instincts are laudable. But he is a clumsy politician, a bad manager and a terrible communicator. His approval rating stands at just 13%, and the 70-year-old chancellor shows no sign of understanding why. […] If Mr Merz proves unable to articulate a compelling vision for his brand of centrist politics, he should go.“

  6. #TheEconomist in 2025:

    “The 44 year-old Mr #Cerimedo’s first brush with prominence was in #Brazil in 2022. He hosted a live-stream entitled “ #BrazilWasStolen” days after Jair #Bolsonaro lost re-election to #Lula. In it he alleged that old voting machines had been fiddled with to swing votes to Lula.

    His foray into #rightwing #LatinAmerican #politics was just getting started. He already had a political-marketing agency back in Buenos Aires, #Numen; an associated “training academy”; and a news website, #LaDerechaDiario (The Daily Right), promoting right-wing and libertarian ideologies.”

  7. Ora, ora, ora…
    Em 2025 a #TheEconomist já dizia que #Cerimedo era o “ #MAGA man na #AméricaLatina ”. Porque será que agora a tentativa de #feminicídio é completamente censurada na #mídiahegemônica? Deve ser porque a revelação do esquema não deixaria pedra sobre pedra na #extremadireita #fascista continental.

  9. The Unsigned Newsroom

    The byline entered American journalism as a punishment, and it arrived in the mud. On January 26, 1863, Major General Joseph Hooker took command of the Army of the Potomac, a force that had bled itself white at Fredericksburg six weeks earlier and was deserting into the Virginia winter by the hundreds. The press corps trailing the army was in worse moral shape than the army. Correspondents wrote from hotel bars and Washington parlors, inflated skirmishes into battles, buried defeats, manufactured quotes, and signed none of it. Hooker's predecessor had already begged the War Department for relief. "As it is impossible for me to ascertain with certainty who these anonymous writers are," George McClellan wrote to Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, "I beg to suggest that another order be published holding the editors responsible."

  10. "The Economist’s Embarrassing Proxy War Over AI Policy" project-syndicate.org/commenta

    I think everyone who read The Economist article raised their eyebrows. Acemoglu's work is not perfect, but this was just lazy and unfounded writing.

    The piece felt like Noah Smith snark mixed with a typical Tyler Cowen narrative (sources the Economist used in the article). Smith earns living from strong opinions. Cowen runs Emergent Ventures with backing from donors like Peter Thiel. Meta and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative support him indirectly through the Mercatus Center.

    I lean left economically compared to the tone of The Economist, but it is a good publication. Was this a rare lapse in quality or a new editorial direction? I would hate to see them go downhill.

  11. Just came across this in #TheEconomist. I knew that the #Japanese #birth rate was low, but this shows it's going to get worse because the size of the childbearing cohort is about to start shrinking fast.

  12. Scary. Regulate AI or shut it down.

    In an interview with The Economist, Yuval Noah Harari says AI has become so good that he didn’t recognise a deepfake of himself for a minute and a half. Speaking to The Economist’s editor-in-chief, Zanny Minton Beddoes, the author and historian warns that this technology is coming for all of us.

  13. @MaryAustinBooks Some clown in The Economist was saying critics of Thiel are an 'illiberal threat' and I want to point out these guys in Gandalf costumes to them and see if they actually explode in horror...

  14. The Economist blamed the Irish Genocide on the Irish, made excuses for Slavery too.

    Perhaps we shouldn't listen to them, even though it makes us look all grown up when we do.

    Remember, we're all the terrorists for not wanting this shit in our lives, how dare we!

  15. @ChrisCorrigan Among #CPC voters? That would be an unusually specific poll for #TheEconomist.

  16. RE: mastox.eu/@ZackPolanski/117123

    The Economist blamed the Irish Genocide on the Irish, it's always been Colonialist trash.

    The bastions of UK Press and Political thought in this country are not our friends and never have been.

  17. CW: possible GOATSE in The Economist

    RE: mstdn.social/@jonpsp/116941547

    so disappointed that my letter to The Economist didn't get printed. I pointed out that the illustration they used for an article on Andy Burnham had a stylised GOATSE in it (it even had the ring on the correct finger).

  21. In the battle of Elon Musk v the press, we can’t let truth be the loser | Jane Martinson
    By Jane Martinson

    The trillionaire Tesla owner has called the editor of the Economist a ‘traitor to the west’ after a clash-filled interview. How should the media respond?
