“Above all, Europe needs to overcome its learned helplessness and act like the great power it is — especially given America’s apparent determination to destroy the pillars of its own strength.”

(Funnily I had debated whether I should write my next column about exactly this)

The biggest divide in the US? Robert Reich nails: "America today is not between “right” and “left,” or Republicans and Democrats. It’s between democracy and oligarchy. Old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re being shafted". open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Astronomers say they have found the strongest indication of life beyond our solar system, on a planet 124 light-years away called ‘K2-18b.’

While they have not declared the finding of life, they detected “potential biosignatures” that are typically produced by living organisms like marine algae.
