Putin has no plan for winning in Ukraine. His losses are catastrophic - 984k–1.44m casualties, up to 480k dead and all he has achieved is expanding NATO and wiping out a generation of young Russian men, writes The Economist. www.economist.com/the-world-ah...

Fighting in Ukraine will grind on in 2026. Vladimir Putin will continue to throw away Russian lives pointlessly, but sooner or later a reckoning is coming

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

This all-male panel is deciding whether South Carolina women can be charged with murder for their pregnancies — and whether birth control and pro-choice websites stay legal.

This a real thing happening today. Don't look away.

Riding the high of Trump's latest tax cuts, corporations are seeing record profits and will make over $1.1T in stock buybacks this year — an all-time high.

Meanwhile, layoffs have totaled 1.1M so far in 2025 — the highest level since the pandemic.

"New Golden Age" for whom?

The ACLU and the EFF are suing San Jose over its Flock cameras. There are nearly 500 cameras in the city. It is essentially impossible to drive anywhere in the city without being tracked. Cameras outside of immigration law firms, abortion clinics, places of worship

Is it a threat to free speech when the President of the United States threatens to yank the broadcast license of a channel whose reporters are asking him challenging questions?

I ask because I feel like there used to be tons of pundits worried about free speech. Where'd they go?
Trump in response to an Epstein question: "ABC, your company, your crappy company is one of the perpetrators. I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, a chairman, who should take a look at that."

The American car industry quite deliberately designs its products so that they kill people. They know this. They are not ignorant of how their products work.

They don't care.
Trigger warning.

“In crashes, SUVs are more likely to strike vital organs in the core of adults’ bodies & heads of children. Hitting pedestrians above their center of gravity means they’re more likely to be knocked forward & down and then be driven over.”

Plus more likely to hit in the 1st place.

Traffic deaths are policy choices.
“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas & city center in 2021.”
Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death
The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

I'm beginning to realize that AI doesn't save time. It seems to actually lengthen most processes because of all the hand-holding and correcting you have to do. And all the neat tricks it does (which are just that, tricks) are hidden behind limits and extra paywalls.
