The butterfly obtains

The butterfly obtains
But little sympathy
Though favorably mentioned
In Entomology —

Because he travels freely
And wears a proper coat
The circumspect are certain
That he is dissolute —

Had he the homely scutcheon
Of modest Industry
'Twere fitter certifying
For Immortality —

We're getting more magnanimous (or at least considerate, or perhaps accommodating, maybe I even mean circumspect in some ways; open a thesaurus, pick a word, you won't be wrong per se) towards each other. There's no clear modus operandi yet, but a modus vivendi is there.

It's still killing me mind.

EU leaders do not appear to have given the Commission a robust mandate to hit back at China, despite combative rhetoric in the lead-up to their dinner in Brussels. Spain opposed any new measures and Merz was more circumspect during the debate, the FT reports
