Some very exciting news...🚨 We've raised money from a group of readers and supporters, including ex-NYT CEO Mark Thompson and longtime Mill members like @turi and @DianeCoyle1859. It means this model can now expand - more journalists, more cities. theguardian.com/media/2023/aug…
In 1750, France had a population of 25M and were the China of Europe. If the French had continued growing at the same pace as the rest of Europe, they'd be 250M today. Why they stopped, and what the consequences were, are fascinating. @gguillaumeblanc worksinprogress.co/issue/frances-…
Startling polling from @unherd, on the eve of the 3rd anniversary of Brexit. In all 650 UK constituencies apart from three (all in Lincolnshire), more people now agree than disagree that Brexit was a mistake. Biggest movement in left leaning areas. britain.unherd.com/?mc_cid=ae794f…

@propublica check your ad providers. I just got this, obscene at the best of times, while reading a piece about welfare support for single parents. 😳
This godforsaken country of Anglicans has miles more TV coverage of the death of Pele than of Pope Benedict.
This is lovely. "Elevating amateurism to an art" - making the case for amateurism, for putting real work into it, for committing to the discipline - "not only an act of delight and self-expression, but of curiosity and stepping into the unknown"

Uplifting story amidst the gloom: The 18-month-old @sheffieldtrib reached 1000 subs today. That means along with @ManchesterMill and @liverpoolpost, there are now 3,500 people paying for high quality northern journalism from publications that *didn't exist* before the pandemic.

I’m not American, but I’m the context oD Thanksgiving, this is fascinating. There is a universal bias in human imagination: people think things could be better. It may be one of the greatest obstacles to being grateful for what we have. psyarxiv.com/2uxwk/

Every single thing about Qatar’s World Cup has been a PR catastrophe for the country. In the pantheon of heroic PR disasters, does anything even come close?
Twitter grieving Twitter's death by spending record amounts of time on Twitter and carrying on as normal is (charmingly, wonderfully, movingly) very Twitter.
Italians often joke that the North and the South of the boot are different countries. But you would've been able to spot this North/South divide centuries ago! A 🧵 on Italy that goes from Ancient Greece to Beppe Grillo (with some food sprinkled along the way)
Qatar, that desperately wanted the WC to boost its profile must now be so grateful to Putin, galloping inflation, Elon’s Twitter mess, Matt Hancock… anything to keep us from actually looking at what’s happening there.

That does not mean further fragmentation and decentralization is a given here, of course - states sometimes *re*-centralize (see: Diocletian). But if Prigozhin is seen as a winner here - or even a survivor - it alters the interest calculations of a lot of actors.
Old enough to remember that just *last year* some of London’s finest legal minds were being paid vast sums by Prigozhin to claim in England's High Court that he had *nothing* to do with Wagner. ft.com/content/8c8b05…
