The Best One Yet - 🎀 “Summer of Barbie” — Mattel’s movie blitz. Model A’s flying car. America’s Jobs surprise.

Mattel’s Barbie movie just put on a master class in marketing — It’s not an ad campaign, it’s an “ad champagne” Today’s Jobs Report is expected to be huge — but it’s also expected to be the most confusing, so we’re jumping into it TBOY-style.

And the “Model A” flying car just got FAA approval for a test flight — but just like the spork, the best of both worlds can actually be worse.

(FYI: Here’s that Barbie Malibu Dreamhouse Airbnb we were talking about: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/857387972692815761?source_impression_id=p3_1688703735_WWZd9Vxe9caTsIF0)

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Chinese Language(s)

One of the most widely spoken languages in the world is Chinese. 

In addition to being one of the most popular languages in the world, it also has some of the oldest roots and, in many respects, is completely different from every other language spoken today. 

But when we refer to the Chinese language, what exactly are we even referring to? Can we even say that there is a language called Chinese?

Learn more about the Chinese languages and what makes them unique on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Intelligence from The Economist - I spy: meeting Ukraine’s intelligence chief

We sit down with Kyrylo Budanov, Ukraine’s youngest-ever spymaster. He is intense, resolute—and oddly charismatic. A world of electrified transport is going to need lots of nickel for batteries. We argue that, environmentally speaking, gathering it from the seafloor clearly beats mining it on land (11:12). And remembering Donald Triplett, the first person ever to be diagnosed with autism (19:25).

NBN Book of the Day - Andrew Harding, “A Small, Stubborn Town: Life, Death and Defiance in Ukraine” (Ithaka, 2023)

From 2-13 March 2022 - only a week into Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine - Russian forces tried and failed to take and hold Voznesensk, a small but strategically important town 80 kilometres northwest of Mykolaiv.

Looking back, the commander of the 300 professional troops that repulsed the attacks with the help of civilian volunteers concluded that this "one small, decisive and improbable victory … almost certainly saved Ukraine from a larger encirclement and most likely from the prospect of defeat".

In A Small, Stubborn Town: Life, Death and Defiance in Ukraine (Ithaka, 2023), Andrew Harding tells the story of the battle for Voznesensk through the eyes of its participants - from commander "Formosa" to 32-year-old mayor Yevhenii to the "archipelago of stranded, pensionless pensioners" like Svetlana eking out a living and redefining their identities through war.

Although he has been reporting from the front line for the BBC since March 2022, Andrew Harding is the BBC’s Africa correspondent and has lived in Johannesburg since 2009. Africa was the subject of his two previous books - The Mayor of Mogadishu and These Are Not Gentle People - but he began his career in Moscow and Tbilisi and has covered conflicts in Chechnya, Azerbaijan, Abkhazia, and Kosovo.

*The author's own book recommendations are Invasion: Russia’s Bloody War and Ukraine’s Fight for Survival by Luke Harding (Guardian Faber Publishing, 2023) and Grey Bees by Andrey Kurkov (MacLehose Press, 2021)

Tim Gwynn Jones is an economic and political-risk analyst at Medley Advisors, who also writes the Twenty-Four Two newsletter on Substack and hosts the In The Room podcast series.

What A Day - Common Threads

On Thursday, a Russian missile strike on the Ukrainian city of Lviv killed at least six people and injured at least 36 more. Plus, the Biden administration is expected to announce plans to send controversial cluster munitions to Ukraine.

Meta officially launched Threads on Wednesday, a new app and Twitter rival that gained millions of users overnight. Lawyers for Twitter have already threatened legal action against Meta, accusing the company of engaging in “systematic, willful, and unlawful misappropriation of Twitter’s trade secrets.”

And in headlines: Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is visiting China until July 9th to meet with top Chinese officials, OceanGate has suspended all operations, and the FDA gave full approval to an Alzheimer’s drug that is shown to slow the progression of the disease.
