France’s protesters are rioting against austerity that doesn’t exist. Macron might as well give them the real thing, writes @K_Niemietz.

This in @Quillette is excellent on France in 2026
"French schools are no more “underfunded” than Dutch, German, Austrian or British ones, and spending per pupil has actually increased slightly in real terms over the past ten years." ~ @K_Niemietz

Tucker Carlson’s recent interview with Jacob Rees-Mogg was widely mocked.
Carlson got basic facts about Russia’s economy wrong and questioned whether Britain should have fought the Second World War.
In Quillette, @mattjj89 argues these errors share a direction, flattering authoritarian powers while portraying Western democracies as poorer and less free than they are.
Carlson is one of the most influential voices on the American Right heading into 2028, and Johnson argues that writing him off would be a mistake.

"Like Kipnis, Paglia speaks frankly about alcohol, arguing that keg parties and other instances of binge drinking are integral to the rise of perceived campus rapes."

I don't usually do long monologues for the @Quillette podcast. But when I did my intro for this weel's interview with @preta_6 about the Steve Galloway trial, I ended up talking for 10 minutes. Turns out I had a lot to say
Steven Galloway went from CanLit royalty to pariah on allegations a retired judge later found unsubstantiated. Now his accusers are in court.
@jonkay on one of the founding epics of Canadian cancel culture.
@bradcran wrote about the trial opening earlier this month. Nine of Galloway’s accusers have now apologised publicly.

Margaret Atwood got piled on for saying Galloway deserved due process. @jonkay wrote about it at the time.

The most parsimonious explanation for Carlson’s political project in recent years is that he has developed a hatred of Western liberal democracy, writes @mattjj89.

When Jeffrey Archer died on 5 October, much of the British press used the moment to relitigate his perjury conviction and scandals.
Kevin Mims argues the media forgot that Archer was also one of the bestselling novelists in history, and a genuinely gifted storyteller.

Australia's proposed digital duty of care would require almost every online service, from social media and search to AI tools and news sites, to manage "all reasonably foreseeable risks" to users. The government frames it as consumer protection.
@AndrewIBushnell argues that the vague harm categories, design-feature rules and enforcement powers would push platforms towards over-compliance and a lowest-common-denominator internet. quillette.com/2026/10/15/aus…

This in @Quillette by @clairlemon is outstanding on McKinsey's very public pre-emptive capitulation to the worst online social media mobs & the firm's inability to support frank and fearless commentary by its principals. Very sad for so august a firm.

"There is, of course, nothing unusual about authors promoting their books. But using another person’s cancellation as a promotional vehicle is not a typical marketing strategy."
