It’s launch day for show I’ve been working on for much of this year.
Watch on The Economist app or on the website.
What might the future hold for humanity?
For years, authors have variously speculated, predicted and mused on the topic
Our @economist.com writers inc Rosie Blau, @eaterofsun.bsky.social and @shashj.bsky.social sieve out the books they think get it about right

I'm not wild about the title that's been given to this @economist.com podcast: I'd prefer "prepare for the future" than "predict the future". But I greatly enjoyed recording it with the wonderful Rosie Blau, @shashj.bsky.social and @rorygalloway.bsky.social

Came here to say this
Gareth Browne was one of the first journalists inside Saidnaya prison
What he found there was truly shocking
He recorded as he walked through the cells with families desperate to find loved ones

Listen to The Intelligence tomorrow to hear Gareth Browne speak about the appalling conditions in Saidnaya prison, and how he became one of the first international journalists inside it
Louis Pasteur would be horrified at this current trend. If you want to drink it and risk dying, I am all for reducing the population, but I beg of you... please don't give it to your kids.

I went on @economist.com's podcast, The Intelligence, to talk about the quiet re-emergence of iodine deficiency. Luckily, we know how to solve it! A few highlights: 🧵
I love the gannet
Some exciting news from @economist.com. All American service members—all 1.3m active duty, and those retired—now have free access to The Economist's website, thanks to a deal with DoD. If I'm not mistaken, you can access it through DoD's library pages: www.dodmwrlibraries.org. Happy reading.
I did, in fact, deeply enjoyed being that guy
Because people should spend more time watching pigs before telling - admittedly delightful - zoologically inaccurate stories
The Intelligence dives into the bill that could put Britain on the path to legalising assisted dying tomorrow morning
@georgiabanjo.bsky.social has reported from a trip to Australia where a similar bill has already passed
@economist.com
Suddenly realised you requested ‘new’ so ignore the first one
I hate to be that guy… but here’s a pig looking up
A fire upon the deep by Vernor Vinge
The vanished birds by Simon Jimenez
The Bobiverse books (audiobooks best)
Man stands smiling in gym. New outfit with vest and shorts. No one there. He took a selfie in the mirror.
Love a deserted gym 💪
Yesterday, I interviewed Luna

They are!!! And so friendly
Same! Not sure how it's happening, but it feels like the same place... just without Elon Musk posts forced into my feed.
