Ah, das ist sehr wichtig:

Erstmals verhängt die EU-Kommission eine Geldbuße gegen eine Social-Media-Plattform aus den USA - und zwar wegen Verstößen gegen den Digital Services Act

Elon Musks Plattform soll 120 Millionen Euro zahlen - wenn X nicht genügend nachjustiert, drohen weitere Strafen

Out with #sophiefromromania on a frosty morning with icy pavements. I’m treading very gingerly because I don’t want to end up in hospital on the day I’m due at hospital for a minor but to me quite significant eye operation

V interesting. Lessons to be learned from this program. UK DTI (as was) took British managers to visit Japanese factories in 1990 to transfer back their management skills.
M Giorcelli, Y Higuchi, Y Takayasu, & M Tanaka study the Japanese Productivity Program, a joint US-Japanese initiative to transfer American management & industrial knowledge to Japan after WWII. The programme helped firms grow in scale & management sophistication.

Will eating less meat and dairy reduce greenhouse gas emissions? - Economics Observatory
Eating less meat and dairy will almost certainly reduce emissions. What is less certain is where emissions will fall.

In a new blog, @athenedonald.bsky.social & Nicola Padfield argue that government policies excluding the poorest families from vital nursery provision harms children's school readiness, and raises NEET risk—this is a morally wrong "false economy” that costs society far more later.

Good to hear my friend and Movers and Shakers colleague Mark Mardell on Today on R4 explaining that Turkish Airlines appear to have changed their policy on demanding people with #Parkinsons have a doctor’s note. Trouble is it now appears the policy applies to all “sick” passengers
Great culture can save lives. Literally.
