This Is How You, Yes YOU, Can Finally Get Started With Social Media Video

We need more journalists producing great social media videos. Good news: You only need your smartphone and to follow a few easy steps. I always thought I was too late for social media. I’m a science journalist by training, a news anchor, a documentary producer. For many years, I worked for the biggest public and private TV channels in Germany. But when I saw other people gaining huge audiences over the years on YouTube, Instagram and finally TikTok, I became convinced that I should have started building my online identity years ago. I was sure that I had missed the social media train, that the boom was over, that I couldn’t become big on social media.  Until I tried. In spring 2024, I started my first professional Instagram channel, focused on cooking, nutrition, and health, topics I had covered as a TV journalist as well. I started with nothing and was soon stuck at 238 followers. For weeks, nothing changed. It didn’t matter if I published any videos or what kind of cooking content I produced, my audience stayed the same.

Navigating Hostile Terrain at Home

It was the largest immigration enforcement operation in U.S. history, according to government officials, with 3,000 federal agents flooding Minnesota. Starting in December 2025, for more than two months heavily armed agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) spread out through the Twin Cities region — typically with masks covering their faces — surveilling neighborhoods on foot, following people in vans with tinted windows, and profiling drivers in parking lots, demanding proof of citizenship. They deployed tear gas, pepper balls, and flash-bang grenades along city streets lined with restaurants and homes. They pulled people from their cars, from houses, and bus stops. They shot three people, killing two of them. Local photojournalists found themselves navigating unfamiliar, violent scenes at home: They responded to and documented those shootings, raids, and daily arrests of immigrants.

Indian Prime Minister’s Press Problems Travel With Him

When Norwegian journalist Helle Lyng shouted a question at Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he was departing, without talking to reporters, from a joint press appearance with Norway’s Prime Minister in May, she did not expect a response, knowing the Indian leader had not held an open press conference during his 12-year tenure.   Although Lyng did not get an answer from Modi in Oslo, she found herself the target of an online mob led by India’s legions of right-wing internet trolls. What she didn’t expect was that a social media post she made about the incident would garner millions of views, and touch off an intense backlash in India.  In the online video, Lyng, a reporter for the Norwegian newspaper Dagsavisen asked, “Prime Minister Modi, why don’t you take some questions from the freest press in the world?” Modi walked away without responding.  Along with the video, Lyng wrote: “Norway has the number one spot on the World Press Freedom Index, India is at 157th, competing with Palestine, Emirates & Cuba. It is our job to question the powers we cooperate with.

‘60 Minutes’ Veterans Come to the Program’s Defense

After CBS News fired the leadership and several correspondents of the flagship U.S. news program “60 Minutes,” I co-wrote an open letter to David Ellison, CEO of CBS' parent company Paramount-Skydance, arguing that "the wholesale dismissal of editorial management, without a public pledge to maintain the values, standards, and traditions of this program, puts the legacy of ‘60 Minutes’ in jeopardy." The letter was signed by several dozen former network producers, as well as former “60 Minutes” correspondents Dan Rather, Steve Kroft, and Katie Couric, prominent documentary filmmakers, writers, and celebrities. "What is at stake," the letter argues, "is not just the future of the most important and enduring television journalism program in this country, but the future of free and independent press in America." The drama unfolding at CBS News is what happens when the "move fast and break things" ethos collides with a century-old institution that was central to inventing the genre of broadcast journalism.

The Pope and the Pentagon

In early April, I wrote a story for The Free Press about the frail state of the relationship between the Vatican and the Trump administration. My reporting was meant to provide some insight into what was rapidly turning into a public fallout. Several conflicting positions on crucial issues — from immigration policy to the military interventions in Venezuela and Iran — had already been building up over months.  While reporting on these circumstances, I learned of a very unusual meeting that had until then remained secret. In late January, the then-apostolic nuncio (ambassador) of the Holy See to the United States, Cardinal Christophe Pierre, was invited to the Pentagon to meet with U.S. Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby, with their respective delegations. From what I was able to verify, this was a format that had no precedent in the history of full diplomatic relations between the Holy See and the United States, which began in 1984.

A Potential Weapon Against Content Thievery

A Reddit user recently boasted they had built an AI tool to scrape local news and “generate full-length podcast audio.” Several commenters celebrated his work, suggesting they were building something similar. Conspicuously absent from the thread were any concerns about what these tools could mean for the future of journalism and its business models. No one acknowledged that local news takes labor and resources to report, and that scraping tools used to generate information fueled by AI ”slop” fundamentally benefit from other people’s work. How can news organizations protect the fruits of their investments in journalism from being used to create immediately competing AI products? A century-old Supreme Court tool — the “hot news” doctrine — could provide a legal mechanism for doing so.  Individuals and corporations looking to turn a quick profit using AI slop — low-quality, digitally created content — are increasingly scraping news websites, using hard-won journalism without paying for it.

Italy’s Meloni let Trump’s jibes slide for so long. Now, she’s hitting back

US Donald Trump has sparred with most of his fellow Group of Seven leaders at some point. But Italy’s Giorgia Meloni this week did something none of them dared: she escalated. Unlike Spanish Socialist Pedro Sanchez, one of the few leaders in Europe who has made political capital of being berated by Trump, the Italian prime minister had stood out as one of the few Europeans he actually liked: an outspoken conservative at ease talking Maga. But Meloni has also transitioned from a populist...

Follow live updates Get our breaking news email , free app or daily news podcast Ted O’Brien distanced himself from Pauline Hanson ’s suggestion that Australia shouldn’t give aid to Pacific countries that also take aid from China. He said it was a legitimate concern, but her solution was “completely wrong” for the Pacific and not in Australia’s national interest. The idea that you effectively hold a gun to the head of our Pacific neighbours – that’s not what a friend does, that’s not a way of building trust, you don’t basically create an ultimatum. You certainly don’t say it’s all about who you’re going to get money from. The relationship that we have with the Pacific islands is far deeper than development money. From Australia’s perspective, I think that’s the main thing that we should be concerned about, because that has a direct impact on the prices we pay here in Australia. A permanent toll would be bad in practice, wrong in principle, and set a dangerous precedent for how otherwise waterways should be managed internationally. Continue reading...

澳枪击事件嫌疑人为父子：曾宣誓效忠“伊斯兰国”，行凶枪支为合法持有

据新华社12月15日援引澳大利亚广播公司报道，澳大利亚联合反恐小组调查人员表示，悉尼邦迪滩枪击事件两名嫌疑人曾宣誓效忠“伊斯兰国”恐怖组织。 报道援引联合反恐小组一名不愿透露姓名的高级官员的话说，警方在邦迪滩两名枪手车内发现一面“伊斯兰国”旗帜。澳大利亚安全情报组织6年前就已在调查邦迪滩枪击案两名枪手之一的纳维德·阿克拉姆，他与“伊斯兰国”在悉尼的恐怖分子有密切联系。 澳大利亚警方表示，枪击事件的两名嫌疑人是父子关系，使用合法获得的枪支发动了此次袭击事件。 澳大利亚总理阿尔巴尼斯15日表示：“今天下午4点， 我将把更严格的枪支法律列入国家内阁的议程，包括限制个人可持有或许可的枪支数量 。此外，还需对许可证进行定期审查。人们的情况会发生变化，人们的思想也会随着时间的推移而变得激进。许可证不应永久有效。” 此次枪击事件已造成包括1名作案嫌疑人在内的16人死亡、40人受伤。这是自1996年塔斯马尼亚州亚瑟港枪击事件造成35人死亡以来，澳大利亚发生的最严重的大规模枪击事件。 持有枪支许可证长达十年 据多家外媒报道，其中一名袭击者为24岁的澳大利亚公民纳维德·阿克拉姆，他在现场被捕，随后被送往悉尼的一家医院。另一名袭击者是他的父亲萨吉德·阿克拉姆，他于1998年来到澳大利亚，被警方当场击毙。 澳大利亚警方随后证实，纳维德·阿克拉姆此前已被新南威尔士州警方和其他机构记录在案。其父亲萨吉德·阿克拉姆持有枪支许可证，名下登记有6支枪，目前均已被追回。新南威尔士州警察局长马尔·兰永透露，萨吉德·阿克拉姆已持有枪支许可证长达十年。 阿尔巴尼斯在新闻发布会上透露，纳维德·阿克拉姆曾于2019年10月首次引起当局的注意。他补充说，对该男子进行检查是基于他与其他人有联系，但评估结果表明，没有任何迹象表明他存在持续的威胁或暴力倾向。 新南威尔士州州长克里斯·明斯表示，警方正在调查他们的系统是否存在故障，导致合法持有的武器可能被用于恐怖袭击。 枪手“性格古怪”，爱好打猎 据《卫报》澳大利亚版报道，纳维德·阿克拉姆在袭击前从事砌砖工作。他的同事表示，纳维德性格古怪，“没人和他亲近”。“（砌砖工人）在一起的时间很长，因为砌砖是一项非常枯燥乏味的工作，所以大家会聊很多话。但纳维德是一个性格很古怪的人……他工作非常努力，几乎没有休息日。” 尽管澳大利亚警方并未确认纳维德·阿克拉姆是否合法持有枪支，但据这位同事表示，纳维德经常外出打猎，曾提及在昆士兰州南部高原的克鲁克韦尔附近射杀兔子和其他猎物。这位同事还表示，就在几周前，纳维德告诉老板，他的手骨折了，所以要到2026年才能工作。

儿童手表“小天才圈”调查：点赞成每日功课，有商家可解除家长管控

在校园里，孩子们时常举起戴在手腕上的手表，彼此一碰，便加为好友。 这种以“安全”为核心卖点的儿童电话手表，如今已超越通信工具的属性，悄然演变成一个拥有独特规则、社交层级甚至灰色产业链的未成年人数字社交圈——“小天才圈”。 在这个属于他们的“江湖”里，“大佬榜”备受关注，“扩列”（增加好友）成为新的社交需求，“点主”（在主页点赞）是每日必做的功课……这些让成年人感到陌生的词汇，正构筑着未成年人的数字社交世界。 然而，伴随着这种社交形态的兴起，家长们的担忧也日益加剧：孩子过度沉迷手表社交、不良信息传播、因品牌壁垒导致的“社交绑架”等问题逐渐浮现。《法治日报》记者近日对该现象展开调查，试图揭开这一未成年人数字社交圈的真实面貌。 点赞成社交“硬通货” 据北京“小天才圈”资深玩家陈曦（化名）介绍，圈内有5000余名活跃用户，多为11岁至17岁的学生，这个社交圈形成了一套精心设计的“混圈规则”。“入圈”需设定两个字的独特圈名，随后可在平台分享生活点滴，吸引具有相同爱好的好友进行互动；若想提升知名度或影响力，需每日经营主页并与好友动态互动。 记者注意到，在一些社交平台上，大量以“小天才圈交友攻略”为主题的内容应运而生，内容涵盖如何快速“扩列”、获取更多点赞等“实用”技巧，评论区有不少“留下ID互加好友”的留言。在这一社交体系中，点赞是这套规则的核心——平台设定每日主页获赞上限为3000个，若要达到“100万+”的“大佬”级别，需连续点赞近一年时间。围绕点赞数与知名度，圈内形成了清晰的“大佬排行榜”，点赞数也成为社交“硬通货”。 这种对点赞的追逐，已催生出相关服务产业。记者调查发现，某社交平台上，拥有数十万甚至上百万点赞数的账号，售价从几百元到上千元不等：100多万点赞的账号标价1300元，90多万点赞的账号标价1200元。 今年18岁的“灵师”（圈名），在2021年14岁时加入“小天才圈”，她的账号目前已拥有150个好友、超100万点赞量。她告诉记者，这样的账号市场价值约1000元。 “围绕点赞需求，还衍生出代刷赞、租账号、出售‘大佬好友位’等服务。”“灵师”进一步介绍，例如付费100元至180元，即可获得“bot”（记者注：“bot”是一种第三方开发的自动化工具，主要用于刷赞、修改记录和发送动态等功能，这类工具能帮助用户快速提升账号点赞数，从而在未成年人社交圈中获得更高地位）自动点赞功能——用户将手表寄给相关人员进行10天左右的处理便能完成安装。此后，发帖5分钟内即可自动获赞，还可以一键查询未点赞名单。

产地造假、年份速成、无视监管！央视曝光新会陈皮市场乱象

近日，总台接到群众举报，反映陈皮市场存在年份虚标、产地及工艺造假等问题，千元一斤的“年份陈皮”亦可能名不副实。 茶枝柑新果皮冒充陈皮 广西浦北出现“速成工艺陈皮” 记者发现，直播间里售卖陈皮低价轮番轰炸，年份承诺掷地有声。 直播间也有主播爆料，八成市面上所谓广东新会陈皮实为广西陈皮。 广西钦州市浦北县是茶枝柑重要种植基地，其果皮是陈皮风味“越陈越香”关键，也是浦北陈皮唯一原料。2024年当地陈皮产业产值破60亿元，采收季大量鲜果加工晾晒成柑皮。 果农和收购商称，今年浦北茶枝柑鲜果收购价走低。按20斤鲜果出1斤柑皮比例，叠加人工成本，品相好的新柑皮成本约30元/斤，低端柑皮仅六七元，且当年新柑皮并非真正陈皮。 这家企业的负责人告诉记者，按行业共识与团体标准，柑皮需陈化三年以上才可称为陈皮，陈化时间越长价值越高，但他透露，自然陈化需长期积压资金，多数企业是难以承受的。 这家企业的负责人私下告诉记者，为缓解资金占用压力，一种名为“轻工艺”的速成加工方式，眼下正在部分陈皮生产企业里流行，他们仅需一个月的时间，就能将新采收的茶枝柑果皮处理为外观近似三年、五年自然陈化过的陈皮，这样做能大幅缩短陈化周期、降低企业的运营成本。 浦北自然陈化五年陈皮批发价每斤150元至200元，企业造假“工艺皮”成本仅70元左右，高额利润促使更多商家放弃自然陈化、铤而走险。 记者离开企业，在广西浦北县柑浦堂健康产业有限公司分拣车间，再次见到大批量造假“工艺皮”陈皮，同一批“工艺皮”因加工受热差异形成色差，被分拣标注为三年、五年等不同年份。 负责人透露，不同年份“工艺皮”本质相同，批发价均70元左右一斤，零售价差极大，标五年款卖500元一斤，标十年款卖1000元一斤，仅凭外观就能翻倍抬价，利润超成本十倍以上。 新会陈皮从浦北进货 “工艺皮”贴上陈皮标签以假乱真 浦北与新会陈皮原料同为茶枝柑，仅产地不同，新会较高生产成本使当地部分头部商家常年从浦北拿货，浦北成其重要原料供应地。 记者在柑浦堂分拣仓库看到，大量标注“新会陈皮”“新会特产”的纸箱正打包“工艺皮”，这些广西陈皮每日批量发往广东新会，造假供需链路已成熟稳定。 记者发现，浦北当地部分规模企业和小型收购商，已形成了这种“工艺皮”的造假供应体系，可自主加工或快速调配各类“年份”陈皮货品，个别企业年销新会原料数量惊人。 随后经浦北陈皮企业负责人引荐，记者见到多位专程从新会赴浦北采购的商家，他们坦言同时经营新会皮与浦北皮，外地“工艺皮”因价格低廉成电商供货重要选择。

《怦然心动》导演莱纳与妻子在家中遇害，警方尚未证实是其子所杀

当地时间12月14日，曾执导《怦然心动》《当哈利遇到莎莉》《危情十日》等影片的美国导演罗伯·莱纳（Rob Reiner）在他位于洛杉矶的家中遇害身亡。洛杉矶警察已对外证实，现年78岁的莱纳与他现年68岁的妻子米歇尔·辛格·莱纳（Michele Singer Reiner）的遗体一同被发现。 2019年，罗伯·莱纳（左一）与《当哈利遇到莎莉》的主演梅格·瑞恩、比利·克里斯托出席TMC经典电影节。 据悉，洛杉矶消防局的人员于当地时间12月14日下午3点38分接到医疗救助电话，赶赴位于布伦特伍德区的一处住宅中，随后发现两人已死亡。当天晚间，洛杉矶警察局在其社交媒体官方账号确认死者为导演罗伯·莱纳夫妇，将由抢劫凶杀部门主导调查。而好莱坞媒体TMZ援引执法部门消息称，“两人身上有与刀具造成的伤口相符的割裂伤。” 好莱坞媒体《每日野兽》称，有消息人士向他们透露，是两人的女儿罗米最先发现他们倒在血泊中；罗伯·莱纳当时已死亡，妻子米歇尔在救护车送院途中离世。 此外，《人物》杂志称通过多方消息，得知莱纳夫妇系被他们的儿子尼克（Nick）所杀害。不过，这一说法并未获得警方的证实。罗伯·莱纳与摄影师米歇尔·辛格相识于《当哈利遇到莎莉》拍摄时期，两人于1989 年结婚，育有三个子女，分别为杰克（Jake）、尼克（Nick）和罗米（Romy）。 2014年，罗伯·莱纳与妻子偕三名子女杰克、罗米、尼克（右三至右一）出席活动。 《人物》杂志还在报道中指出：尼克2016年接受其采访时，曾谈到自己长达数年的毒品成瘾经历。这段经历始于他十几岁出头，导致他一度流落街头。他表示，大约从15岁开始，便反复进出戒毒康复机构；随着成瘾问题不断加重，他逐渐与家人疏远，并在多个州经历了长时间的无家可归生活。 2025年9月15日，罗伯·莱纳在纽约出席活动。视觉中国 图 获取更多RSS： https://feedx.net https://feedx.site

演员何晴追悼会举行，其子追思母亲：北京这场雪像是为她而下

一场雪落，人间倩影化雪归天。 12月15日上午，众多剧迷粉丝冒着严寒赶到北京昌平殡仪馆久安厅，送别演员何晴最后一程。12月13日，这位被誉为“古典第一美人”的演员因病去世，终年61岁。 不到10点，殡仪馆告别厅外已经站满了前来悼念的观众和粉丝，有人胸前佩戴小白花，有人手捧鲜花，一位浙江的网友还托人送来了悼念花圈。 “何晴的作品在我们心中留下了太多美好回忆，她的演技和性格都让我们深深喜爱，这次听到她突然去世的消息，我们非常意外，来到这里也是一种悼念。”一位何晴的影迷说。 现场粉丝在悼念簿上写下对何晴的话，不到一会儿，悼念簿就已写满对她的怀念。一位观众用清秀的字迹写下：“亲爱的何晴，我们的童年、青春都在您的影视作品中得到陪伴。美丽可人的何晴，很痛心听到您的消息，我代表我的同学们来这为你送行。” 曾在电视剧《水浒传》中饰演卢俊义的演员王卫国也来到现场，神色哀切。他说自己和何晴既是邻居，也是多年好友，在他印象中何晴是一个温婉、暖心的人，没有架子，总是远远地和人打招，笑嘻嘻地说话。何晴生病时常给王卫国打电话，请他送自己去医院。即便病重时，何晴也保持乐观积极的态度，王卫国有些事情想不开，她还来开导自己。“何晴走了，我们都很难过。只要你记住她，她就永远还在。”王卫国说。 《水浒传》中卢俊义的扮演者王卫国 《西游记》中万圣公主扮演者张青深情回忆何晴往事：“我们是小时候就认识的好朋友，从80年代到现在，有缘分做了这些年的朋友。她说话慢慢的，很甜很温柔。” 《西游记》中万圣公主扮演者张青 在广大观众的真挚请求下，原本仅面向亲友的告别仪式临时对外开放，大家排着队，秩序井然地进入灵堂，与这位“荧屏中的温婉佳人、生活中的坚韧女性”做最后的道别。 久安厅内的屏幕上滚动播放着何晴的照片，厅内四周摆满了亲友的花圈，其中包括六小龄童、唐国强、翁虹、尤勇智等何晴圈内好友送来的花圈，还有《三国演义》剧组送来的花圈。人群中不时传来一阵抽泣。 何晴之子许何代表亲友致悼词。他回忆了何晴对抗病魔的乐观积极，以及作为母亲对孩子深深的爱和眷恋。 许何说，妈妈很喜欢下雪，经常在雪后穿一件毛茸茸的衣服外出赏雪。“今年12月12日北京下了第一场雪，我摸着妈妈的脸跟她说北京下雪了，下得好大，好像很久都没有下过这么大的雪。在我的心里，这场雪好像是刻意为她下的。12月13日早晨天空晴朗，白色的雪布满了大地，我妈妈在她最喜欢的早晨离开了大家，去了天国，远离了所有的疾病和痛苦。” 何晴，1964年1月13日出生于浙江衢州江山市。她是中国内地唯一一位演遍四大名著影视作品的女演员，被誉为“古典第一美女”。

The UK’s Discriminatory  AI Experiment on Child  Refugees

Click to expand Image Migrants walk towards a bus to be taken for processing after disembarking from a Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) lifeboat on a beach after crossing the English Channel, in Dungeness, England, on June 15, 2022. © 2022 Ben Stansall/AFP via Getty Images The UK Home Office is pushing ahead with plans to use AI technology to guess the age of young people arriving at UK borders to seek asylum, starting in 2027. Yet the Home Office’s own tests found the technology performed worse on certain groups of people, notably Africans. The plans severely endanger the human rights of children seeking asylum and should be scrapped.  Facial age estimation technology (FAE) is a nascent technology used to estimate a person’s age, which would contribute towards determining their asylum status. Described with much fanfare by the Home Office as a “cutting-edge AI tech,” FAE is currently used in UK shops and bars on customers seeking to buy age-restricted items.

Canada Delivers a Blow to Corporate Accountability

Click to expand Image In this file image from undated video footage run by China's CCTV via AP Video, Muslim trainees work in a garment factory at the Hotan Vocational Education and Training Center in Hotan, Xinjiang, northwest China. © CCTV via AP Video, File The Canadian government’s elimination of the Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise (CORE), announced on June 11, marks a significant step backwards in the fight for accountability for human rights abuses by Canadian companies. The CORE, established in 2019, investigates rights abuses by Canadian companies operating abroad in the oil and gas, mining, and garment sectors. For example, the office has investigated links between Canadian mining and garment companies and Uyghur forced labor in China. Prime Minister Mark Carney justified abolishing the ombudsperson’s office by pointing to its ineffectiveness. But the government’s lack of support for the role has seriously undermined the ombudsperson’s investigations.

Support Builds to Protect Children from Crimes Against Humanity

Click to expand Image Children wait near the site of Okhmatdyt children’s hospital hit by Russian missiles, in Kyiv, Ukraine, Monday, July 8, 2024. © 2024 Evgeniy Maloletka/AP Photo In the process leading toward a new international treaty to prevent and punish crimes against humanity, there is already growing, cross-regional support to ensure the final effort includes justice for crimes against children. In recent weeks, countries submitted formal proposals for amendments to the draft articles under consideration for the treaty. A civil society coalition, including Human Rights Watch, has supported this process. Unlike for war crimes and genocide, there is no dedicated international treaty under which countries agree to prosecute or extradite those responsible for crimes against humanity. If negotiations yield a new and broadly ratified treaty, this effort would close that gap. Crimes against humanity entail some of the worst crimes during a widespread or systematic attack on civilians: murder, extermination, torture, sexual violence, persecution, and more.

Uzbekistan: Activist Held in Trumped-Up Case

Click to expand Image Javokhir Muminov (left) and Djura Akbarov (right) at the Kashkadarya Regional Prosecutor's Office, Uzbekistan.  © 2025 Elena Urlaeva (Berlin, June 18, 2026) – Uzbek authorities should release a local human rights activist accused of extortion and investigate his allegations of abuse in police custody, Human Rights Watch said today. Javokhir Muminov, the activist, told his lawyer on June 10, 2026, that following his arrest, police officers had beaten and suffocated him. “This criminal investigation into Javokhir Muminov, coupled with his allegations of abuse, is reminiscent of a much darker time in Uzbekistan’s history,” said Mihra Rittmann, senior Central Asia adviser at Human Rights Watch. “The authorities should immediately release Muminov, investigate his allegations of ill-treatment, and ensure that he is provided urgent and adequate medical care.” The case against Muminov is tainted by allegations of ill-treatment or abuse made by both Muminov and his lawyer.

Bulgaria Licensed Surveillance Exports to Rights Violators

© 2026 Glenn Harvey for Human Rights Watch     (Brussels, June 18, 2026) – The Bulgarian government between 2018 and 2023 licensed exports of surveillance equipment to countries that were likely to use it for internal repression or to commit serious human rights violations, Human Rights Watch said today. Human Rights Watch previously reviewed data that shows that European Union governments often seem to issue such licenses. Human Rights Watch urged EU institutions to tighten enforcement of laws intended to restrict the export of surveillance technology to places where there is a credible risk it would be used in violation of international human rights and humanitarian law. “All EU governments should be clamping down on exports of tools that can be used for repression, not rubber-stamping them,” said Zach Campbell, senior surveillance researcher at Human Rights Watch.

The leaders of the G7 have created a strategic alliance on critical minerals in a coordinated effort to break China’s oversized control of the metals and minerals and rare earth elements crucial to the defense, automotive, and clean energy industries.

Energy Security, Not Climate Goals, Is Now Driving the Clean Power Boom

While ships are beginning to trickle through the Strait of Hormuz after months of near-total closure, it will be a very long time before the effects of this year’s energy crisis fade from the global economy – if they ever do. This latest round of turmoil in global oil and gas markets has catalyzed clean energy adoption to a degree that may permanently alter the global energy landscape, as well as the way that we conceive of energy security and geopolitical strategy. It is extremely telling that, against the backdrop of the United States…

Iraq Is Keeping Its Syria Oil Route—Even If Hormuz Reopens

Nobody, especially not Iraq, wants to be caught relying on Hormuz ever again. Iraq is preparing to export crude oil and naphtha through Syria's Mediterranean port of Baniyas, expanding an emergency workaround that emerged after the closure of the Strait of Hormuz disrupted the country's primary export routes and left storage tanks filling up. According to Reuters, Iraqi officials say the strategy will remain in place even after shipping through Hormuz returns to normal. That alone says plenty. Iraq normally exports around 3.6 million barrels of…

It is about industrial capacity, technological dominance, artificial intelligence (AI), semiconductor manufacturing, and defense production - all of which depend on a foundational requirement:…

The U.S. States Leading the Backlash Against Data Centers

Several U.S. states are concerned about the rapid expansion of data centres, as consumers pressure legislators to address rising utility bills and other energy concerns. Data centres are expected to be a major consumer of U.S. power by 2030 and beyond, as several tech companies expand their network, which is growing consumer concerns around the country’s power supply and demand. This has led several states to halt or even ban data centre development. Globally, data centres are expected to consume twice as much power and water by 2030, according…

The Permian region's marketed natural gas production grew from 17.2 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in 2021 to 27.6 Bcf/d in 2025, a 60% increase, according to data from our latest Short Term Energy Outlook. Over the same period, crude oil production grew by 39%, going from 4.7 million barrels per day (b/d) to 6.6 million b/d. The higher growth in natural gas production is the result of increasing gas-oil ratios (GOR).

Highway looks to become the ‘Plaid for Freight’ as cargo theft goes direct

The freight industry stands at a crossroads that looks remarkably familiar to anyone who remembers the early days of fintech.

Now that same transformation is coming for trucking, and Highway’s Chief Commercial Officer Michael […] The post Highway looks to become the ‘Plaid for Freight’ as cargo theft goes direct appeared first on FreightWaves .

Spot rates surge again as carriers push through fresh July hikes

A series of container freight spot rate hikes and general rate increases implemented on 15 June prompted another week of double-digit price rises on the transpacific and Asia-Europe trades. This week’s World Container Index (WCI) from Drewry saw the spot rate on its Shanghai-Rotterdam leg surge 15% week-on-week to finish at $4,342 per 40ft, while the Shanghai-Genoa route was up 12% to $5,756 per 40ft. “Strong peak season demand due to frontloading ...

Forwarders face profitability test as freight markets look set to stabilise

As global freight markets begin to show signs of stabilisation after months of disruption, the industry’s largest forwarders have shown that recovering markets are not automatically translating into easier profits. The warning, highlighted this week by profitability software provider OntegosCloud, comes as freight rates remain elevated, capacity remains constrained and geopolitical risks continue to distort supply chains. Yet first-quarter results from the world’s largest freight forwarders suggest profitability is increasingly being driven by pricing discipline, productivity gains and cost control rather than favourable market conditions. DSV’s first-quarter results offered perhaps the clearest ... The post Forwarders face profitability test as freight markets look set to stabilise appeared first on The Loadstar .

Regional trade boom could reshape container shipping for a ‘golden decade’

The gradual regionalisation of global supply chains is becoming one of the most important trends shaping container shipping, according to Braemar, as new trade agreements and shifting geopolitical dynamics redraw cargo flows. Analysing the World Bank’s latest global outlook, consultancy Braemar said the institution’s prediction that the 2030s could become the most prosperous decade since the 1970s carried significant implications for liner shipping, despite a challenging near-term market.

The Targets of Geoeconomic Coercion -- by Christopher Clayton, Matteo Maggiori, Jesse Schreger

Great powers, like the United States and China, use existing trade and financial linkages of their economies to the rest of the world to exert geoeconomic power. The targeted entities include both foreign governments and foreign private firms. We characterize conditions under which a hegemonic country optimally targets private entities or their government in a given targeted foreign country. An advantage of coercing private entities is that they internalize less than their own government the equilibrium consequences of acquiescing to the hegemon's coercion. This allows the hegemon to build its power by exploiting the difference between the private cost to the targeted entity of the costly actions it demands and the social value to the hegemon of those actions. Coercing the government gives up some of this advantage, but offers the ability of having the targeted government potentially influence firms in its domestic economy that the hegemon finds valuable to coerce but for which it had limited direct coercive power.

Measuring Financial Literacy with the Big Three: Why It Works -- by Tim Kaiser, Annamaria Lusardi, Olivia S. Mitchell, Luis Oberrauch

This paper investigates why the widely-used Big Three financial literacy index provides a reliable measure of financial literacy. Using an Item Response Theory framework, we estimate item difficulty and discrimination parameters and conduct a meta analysis to assess the stability of these properties across datasets and countries. Results confirm the scale's validity and reliability, with item characteristics that remain stable across populations and settings. We find no evidence of measurement differences across demographic subgroups or countries. Compared to the longer Big Five scale, the Big Three index performs similarly in measuring financial literacy and predicting financial behaviors.

Lack of Trust and Fiscal Dominance: Evidence from a Firm Survey Experiment -- by Francesco Bianchi, Renato Faccini, Leonardo Melosi, Nils Wehrhöfer

We study how debt news shapes firms’ inflation expectations in a monetary union. In an active-control experiment, German firms receive optimistic or pessimistic projections of France, Italy, and Spain’s debt-to-GDP ratios. Pessimistic news raises debt beliefs and increases one- and three-year inflation expectations, with no detectable effect at five years. The response is driven by low-trust firms and by firms expecting relatively low ECB policy rates. A salient German debt-financed fiscal shock generates no comparable response. Within a Fisherian framework, the evidence suggests that debt news becomes inflationary when firms perceive incomplete fiscal backing and expect monetary accommodation.

Demographic Divergence: The Legacy of the Opioid Epidemic -- by Carolina Arteaga, Victoria Barone, Stephen Claassen

We study how the opioid epidemic shaped local population dynamics in the United States. Exploiting variation in exposure that stems from Purdue Pharma's targeted marketing of OxyContin to high-cancer-mortality areas, we find that more exposed commuting zones experienced lower population growth. By 2020, a one-standard-deviation increase in exposure reduced population growth among individuals aged 18 to 64 by 2.4 percentage points. Direct mortality from drug-induced deaths made only a limited contribution to these changes. Instead, population losses were primarily driven by migratory responses: exposure increased out-migration rates, especially among college-educated individuals. These responses are consistent with the opioid epidemic operating as a disamenity shock, deteriorating local quality of life. Working in the opposite direction, we also document a rise in fertility rates that, by 2020, partially counteracts these population losses.

Blindly Discriminating: The GI Bill and Racial Inequality -- by Lukas Althoff, Christiane Szerman

The World War II GI Bill was the largest education subsidy in US history and a cornerstone of the postwar US transition to a knowledge economy. Although formally race-blind, the program's decentralized administration left implementation to local officials and segregated institutions, with sharply different consequences for Black and white veterans. This paper quantifies the GI Bill's impact on Black and white Americans' economic outcomes across two generations, using a regression discontinuity around WWII service eligibility cutoffs and a new data linkage from veterans in the 1940 and 1950 censuses to their sons' neighborhood outcomes between 1990 and 2025. The GI Bill widened racial inequality, doubling white veterans' college completion while steering Black veterans into often-fraudulent vocational programs with no earnings returns. The disparities persisted across generations, increasing the white-Black gap in sons' adult-neighborhood outcomes, including a 5-percentage-point (47 percent) widening of the racial college gap.

Don’t Give Up on Lab Experiments: Why the Field Still Needs the Lab -- by John A. List

Recent enthusiasm for field experiments, and especially for natural field experiments (NFEs), in which subjects go about their daily activities unaware that any study is taking place, has sometimes been read as a verdict against the laboratory. I argue that such a verdict is wrong. Through the lens of a simple rational-choice model, I show that the four standard experimental designs (laboratory, artefactual field experiment (AFE), framed field experiment (FFE), and NFE) are comparative-static restrictions of one maximization problem, each identifying a parameter the others cannot. The model reveals that each design type has distinctive strengths and weaknesses across various dimensions of knowledge creation, including the enforcement of the conditions for causal identification, the faithfulness of the experimental environment to the theory being tested, the identification of economic primitives via theoretical structure, and the ethics of studying human subjects. On each of the dimensions, the four design types are complements rather than rivals.

Writing code versus shipping code: Productivity effects across generations of AI coding tools

Generative AI now writes a substantial share of the world's code, but aggregate software output has changed far less. This column uses data on more than 100,000 GitHub developers, combined with data on their AI tool usage, to trace the productivity effects of three successive generations of AI coding tools. Each generation raises coding activity more than the last, but the gains shrink sharply as work moves from writing code to shipping software. Human bottlenecks in reviewing, integrating, testing, and releasing code, together with scarce consumer attention, help explain why large task-level gains have not yet produced a software output boom.

Electing women does not reduce corruption: Evidence from Brazil

As women gain political ground around the world, there is hope that the election of more women might also mean cleaner government. But is this the case? This column examines thousands of close mixed-gender elections in Brazil across two decades and finds that electing a woman mayor neither increases nor reduces corruption. Instead, incumbents are consistently more corrupt across various metrics. Women continue to face substantial barriers on the path to office and dismantling these remains a fundamental democratic objective, but on the grounds of equity in representation, not because it will reduce corruption.

When travel restrictions became trade frictions: Evidence from Covid-era border closures

Covid travel restrictions limited movement of people but also made cross-border goods trade more difficult. This column uses a structural gravity model on global trade flows with domestic trade and shows that a full closure reduced trade for a typical country pair by around 19%, implying a peak hit to global trade of about 23% in 2020Q2. Hits were larger for nearby partners, and were concentrated in road and air freight, with seaborne trade unaffected. These differences explain why some countries could close borders with smaller trade hits than others. Trade rebounded as restrictions eased, suggesting no lasting scarring.

Private capital markets and inequality

Private capital markets have expanded rapidly, but access remains concentrated among wealthy investors. This column presents new evidence from the US which shows that high-net-worth individuals’ early-stage investments have grown significantly over 2004-2022 and returns exceeded those in public stock market benchmarks. These investments helped startups stay private and contributed to rising top wealth shares. Thus, the growth of private capital markets has implications that extend beyond how companies raise financing and why fewer companies reach public markets.

From bilateralism to a system: Europe’s early trade treaties and lessons for EU trade policy in a contested world

As tensions rise between major powers and the global trading system becomes more contested, policymakers often frame the choice they face starkly: either deeper centralised multilateralism or a retreat into protectionism and competing blocs. Using a dataset covering nearly 900 commercial treaties from 1815 to 1919, this column argues that Europe's historical experience suggests a more pragmatic alternative: maintaining a commitment to open markets while continuing to expand networks of commercial agreements even when universal cooperation is difficult to achieve.

Making Defence Spending Pay

Defence spending is rising whether voters like it or not. The UK has committed to 2.5% of national income and aims for nearer 3.5% over the next decade, £30bn a year for each percentage point. What does the country get back? Can defence spending be pro-growth? In this week's VoxTalk, John Van Reenen (LSE) argues that getting a return on investment based on innovation need not be left to luck. For example nuclear power, GPS and the internet all began as military projects. The spillovers can be planned for; the trick is to make defence spending innovation-rich, and make procurement work better. Traditional top-down procurement mostly produces lock-in: the same firms winning over and over. Van Reenen's study of a project at the US Air Force shows the difference: when it asked firms what they could build, rather than telling them what to make, the competitions brought in startups, generated more original patents, and spilled ideas into the civilian economy.

The Cookie Monster Explains AI Safety

Disclaimer: This is a shitpost (or is it?) There is a story published in 1977 by Little Golden Books called Cookie Monster and the Cookie Tree. A witch curses a cookie tree to stop the Cookie Monster from getting the cookies, which results in unexpected consequences. Let's read it togther and use it to explore the AI Safety landscape. Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) has the potential to create unlimited benefits for all of humanity, like tasty cookies. Just like how the cookie tree is currently only for the witch, frontier AI systems are mostly controlled by proprietary labs like Anthropic , OpenAI , and Google DeepMind . Misuse risks occur when bad actors use AI systems for things like concentration of power and Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear ( CBRN ) risks. Therefore, frontier labs use KYC (Know Your Customer) software like Persona and sophisticated authentication/authorization cookies to restrict access to certain models. They only give access to people who use them according to Terms of Service , pulling the AI out of reach of bad actors.

Google Can't Math Parsecs

Daniel Drucker pointed me at a fun bug in Google's calculator: the parsec is wrong when you do math on it. As the earth travels around the sun, closer stars appear to shift back and forth against the distant background stars. The closer the star is the bigger this effect is. Think of how when you switch which eye you're looking through you notice near things shifting relative to farther ones. For example, holding up my finger I see this out of my right eye: But this out of my left eye: If a star moves by two arcseconds (each 1 / 3600th of a degree) as the earth goes halfway around the sun (two " astronomical units " apart) we say the star is 1 parsec away. This defines a triangle where two of the sides are far larger than the third, which means as long as we measure our angle in radians we can use the small-angle approximation and say a parsec is one AU per arcsecond.

How are there 0 studies (maybe 1) on sex-concordant hormone therapy?

As your friendly neighborhood transhumanist liberal, I think "trust the science" is mostly a great heuristic. So here's my attempt to trust the science/evidence trans issues. Obviously coming out and transitioning is very scary and very strongly suggests trans people experience something very real, intense and specific and I trust the reviews that gender-affirming care can help. However, it seems some (!) people can experience gender dysphoria without being best described as simply trans or non-binary ( GPT ). This includes episodes of dysphoria related to hormone changes during pregnancy and menstruation. Similarly, dysphoria correlates with higher frequency of schizophrenia ( Rajkumar , cited in ACX ) and in some cases , it can be reduced by treating schizophrenia. Lastly, birth-sex-supporting hormones seem to help cis-people who experience body-dysmorphic disorder - an obsessive rumination about (sometimes invisible/imagined) flaws of your body. A thread on SSC Reddit contains two comments that claim sex-aligned behavior helped them reduce dysphoria. Kelsey P .

Against Planet-Eating Nanoreplicators

A classic trope of hard sci-fi as well as more serious futurism is using self-replicating nanoassemblers to convert planets of the Solar System to computronium, or some other kind of a Dyson swarm. This is almost the default way to colonize space in any projection of the future that features singularity or ASI, and not uncommon in other settings as well. Except that even if we grant the nano part works exactly as advertised, and even if we ignore the gas giants and only focus on rocky and icy bodies that have a hard surface - which constitute less than 1% of the total planetary mass, by the way - there are at least two very fundamental problems, each one making it basically impossible to use self-replicating nanobots as the primary tool for space colonization: matter and energy. I'll go over each one in turn. (Caveat: this post is specifically about using nanoassemblers to colonize space on planetary scale. There are a lot of arguments for why they can or can not work conceptually, and whether a runaway grey goo scenario is likely within the Earth biosphere.

How transparent is DiffusionGemma (and why it matters)

Overall, we find that DiffusionGemma is not significantly less transparent than Gemma. Gemma and DiffusionGemma perform similarly on monitorability evaluations . Although naively DiffusionGemma has a much larger opaque serial depth , we can apply the logit lens to intermediate vectors and ablate non-interpretable information without harming performance. This implies that these intermediate nodes are interpretable, which reduces the opaque serial depth to be similar to that of Gemma.

Aditya.B is leading this effort, and drafted most of the text below. We've just launched the Animal Futures Tournament on Metaculus, a partnership with Metaculus , The Unjournal and Sentient Futures . The ToC is standard and straightforward: the animal movement regularly makes strategic decisions over which organisations to fund, which campaigns to push, and which emerging issues to prioritise. These decisions can be higher value with a well-calibrated, public forecast to draw on (particularly in the absence of substantial research and evidence_. Questions were crowdsourced from people in strategic positions across the advocacy community, with one filter: could a forecast on this actually change a key decision? The 16 questions (more coming) cover corporate welfare commitments, alternative protein regulation, and emerging frontiers like octopus farming and how animal welfare might (or might not) show up in frontier AI systems.

Insomnia and the Secret Life of Ideas: Kafka on the Relationship Between Sleeplessness and Creativity

Where we go when we go to sleep and why we go there is one of the great mysteries of the mind. Why the mind at times refuses to go there, despite the pleading and bargaining of its conscious owner, is a greater mystery still. We know that ever since REM evolved in the bird brain, the third of our lives we spend sleeping and dreaming has been a crucible of our capacity for learning, emotional regulation, and creativity. But the price we have paid for these crowning curios of consciousness has been savage self-consciousness, thought turned in on itself,…  read article

The strange, and occasionally violent, origins of American news

Early in my career, I landed a job at a local newspaper. It was a small-town daily with one editor and three reporters, and I only took the position because I was fresh out of college, and it paid 25 cents more an hour than my gig at the take-and-bake pizzeria. Looking back, I’m not nostalgic for the crushing grind or the strangely personalized abuse the paper’s readers could hurl over a simple spelling error. But if you caught me in a sentimental mood, I would admit that the experience ingrained in me an appreciation for good journalism and a love of the printed word. So, in some ways, reading Empire of Ink felt like tracing my professional roots. Alex Wright ’s delightful history chronicles the evolution of the American newspaper, from its colonial origins to the turn of the 20th century. During this roughly one-and-a-quarter-century stretch, the country’s news landscape was a far cry from today’s middle-class profession.

Ask Ethan: How do space telescopes stay focused?

In the era of space telescopes, we’re now used to clear, sharp images where everything is focused pristinely: reaching the theoretical maximum that’s possible based on the wavelength of light that’s being observed and the diameter of the telescope’s primary mirror. First with Hubble (once the flaw in its primary mirror was corrected) and later with space telescopes such as Spitzer, GALEX, Herschel, and now JWST, the lack of an atmosphere to contend with means that all we need to do is make our optical systems as optimized as possible in the vacuum of space, and we’ll get those ideal images. Of course, that involves: keeping that telescope stable, keeping it pointed correctly, and keeping it focused correctly, even as the telescope moves, rotates, and deals with external influences like radiation from the Sun. How, then, do telescopes and telescope operators accomplish this? That’s what Jim Wilson wants to know, as he writes in to ask: “How do space telescopes focus and stay focused?

A philosopher’s 5 tips on how to become the most likeable person in the room

It is a privilege to be antisocial. Let’s go back 10,000 years and check in on humanity. While a few communities around the Fertile Crescent have decided it’s a good idea to stay put and grow plants, most people are free-roaming citizens of nowhere. Humans are a nomadic, pack-based species that travel in groups of roughly 20 to 50, hunting animals and gathering wild food. Summers mean long days hunting and preparing because winters are cold, hungry, and dangerous. The clans, tribes, and families roam the landscape, helping each other out. Give Clive a bit of rest, he’s broken his toe. Let Erica have a bigger cut of deer; she’s just found out she’s pregnant. Everyone helps each other because that’s what you do when it’s you against the world. In the Neolithic world of yesterday, people often tried to be prosocial. Except for Ralph. Ralph is an unquestionable asshole. He hides extra food in his sack, and he cried with laughter when Clive dropped that rock on his toe. “It’s your own fault for getting pregnant,” he tells Erica, as he claws back her extra slice of meat.

The smear campaign that transformed presidential politics began with a billiards table

Billiards is a sinful game. An indulgence of lowlifes and reckless gamblers. Everybody knew that in 1826, or they did if they read that year’s June 2 issue of the Richmond Enquirer . It was here that editor Thomas Ritchie informed his readers of how Congressman Samuel Carson took to the floor during a debate over appropriating $14,000 for furnishing the White House to denounce the president’s use of public funds to create a gambling den within its hallowed walls!  To quote the gentleman from North Carolina:  Is it possible, Mr. Chairman, to believe, that it ever was intended by congress, that the public money should be applied to the purchase of gambling tables and gambling furniture? And if it is right to purchase billiard tables and chessmen, why not purchase, also, pharo banks , playing cards, race horses, and every other necessary article to complete a system of gambling at the president’s palace, and let it at once be understood by the people that this is a most splendid gambling administration?

What science reveals about the ‘magic’ of enlightenment

What if enlightenment is not a permanent state, but a habit we regularly return to? Andrew Newberg, MD, Robert Waldinger, MD, and Jim Al-Khalili, PhD, explore how moments of awe, unity, and insight can alter the brain and reshape our sense of reality. From neuroscience to Zen practice to the limits of scientific knowledge, they argue that enlightenment may be less about arriving somewhere and more about how we act once we feel connected.

The Meaning of Maturity: Ursula K. Le Guin on What It Really Takes to Grow Up

It is not merely a matter of growing bones and growing responsibilities, this business of growing up, this unfinishable project of becoming ourselves. It is less like the evolutionary diagram of the upright ape than like a Russian nesting doll, our prior selves not outgrown but integrated, forever dwelling inside the person walking this world today. One measure of maturity — perhaps the purest measure — may be the courage to put our arms around those former selves and pull them close, to take tender responsibility for their missteps and confusions, refusing denial, refusing despair. Without compassion for who we…  read article

How Finitude Makes Us Happy — My Final Post

She looked her age — 27, startlingly close to my own age. Did we share acquaintances or friends of friends? She fixed her hair in a ponytail and wore jeans and a collared shirt with a sweater, a preppy and youthful fashion statement consistent with her budding career as an architect. Polite but slightly withdrawn she looked uncomfortable, out of place. And indeed she was. No one had ever been sick in her immediate family. The hospital felt strange. She exercised daily and strictly adhered to a diet of fruits, vegetables, and fish. Why did she need to be here?...

A White Doctor Goes to Africa

“I am departing totally convinced,” the great Russian playwright Anton Chekhov wrote to a professional acquaintance in March of 1890, “that my trip will yield a valuable contribution neither to literature nor to science.” Chekhov prepared to leave for Sakhalin Island, a distant part of the Russian Empire north of Japan filled with convicts and criminal exiles. If this trip would offer nothing to literature or science, what could Chekhov, a physician and member of the literati, gain from this sojourn? He knew he would see suffering and pain there, the nadir of human existence. Why descend on that path?... The post A White Doctor Goes to Africa appeared first on The New Atlantis .

The Art of Prognostication

Her oncologist sent her in to the emergency room. The diagnosis was metastatic gallbladder cancer aggressively invading her liver, resulting in liver failure. I went down to the emergency room to see her. She only spoke Bengali, so every conversation required a phone interpreter. As I walked up to the patient’s bed I immediately noticed her jaundiced skin. Bilirubin, or breakdown products of red blood cells, above a certain level causes a yellowing of the eyes, the gums, and the skin where it deposits. It is frightening to see, the scarlet letter of illness. It is unclear what the patient... The post The Art of Prognostication appeared first on The New Atlantis .

Death in the Young

In war, those with their lives yet to be lived are also those most urgently needed to fight. It is one of the tragic ironies of conflict. In the U.S. Civil War, the average soldier was 26 and approximately 620,000 soldiers died. In World War I, over 2 million German soldiers died, and 40 percent of German combatants were between 21 and 25 years old. In the Vietnam War, 58,193 American servicemen died — approximately 24 percent of those killed were 20, and roughly&#160; 17 percent of those killed were 21.

Let Them Visit

At the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, hospital administrators behaved as cautiously as possible to avoid transmission and dissemination of the virus. They strictly limited or eliminated hospital visitors. This was one of the most devastating policies enacted by healthcare institutions. As a consequence, not only were patients left without family at their bedside to advocate for them, but they were, alas, left without family at bedside to say goodbye to them as they passed. Families needed to FaceTime their loved ones near the end; no hands were held, no one gathered around the bedside. At their most vulnerable moments,...

Are Doctors Heroes?

The effervescent rays of sunshine spread their warmth across my back as I walk along Omaha Beach in Normandy. French children kick around a soccer ball, shouting and giggling across a fifty-yard stretch of sand. A tranquil ocean extends into the horizon, effortlessly mingling with the sky making it impossible to tell where one starts and the other ends. Looking out across the serene water, I imagine June 6, 1944 and the chaos that once enveloped these beaches. The young American soldiers landing here faced an onslaught of bullets from Nazi pillboxes — concrete bunkers with holes to fire through...

Steven Shapin: Barrel of Greenbacks

The Manhattan Project, which built the atomic bomb, transmuted pure theory into mass slaughter, and it changed everything for the scientists who did the work.

For Alvarez, the bomb was a launchpad to a brilliant life as an experimental physicist and counsellor to the Cold War state.

Adam Thirlwell: Luxury Muzhik

Gorky was the designated mourner for a vanished moment in Russian culture. He wanted socialism or democracy but he no longer wanted Bolshevism, which seemed to him psychopathically preoccupied with power. Something was at stake, it was partly Russia, it was partly politics, and it was partly the kind of writing Tolstoy, Chekhov and Andreyev practised – always in pursuit of something they liked to call ‘truth’.

Daisy Hay: Glitter and Dazzle

Dror Wahrman argues that ‘it is hard to overestimate – though easy to forget – the cultural significance of the masquerade.’ Devotees of Bridgerton might quibble with ‘easy to forget’: in the TV series the masquerade is a kind of shorthand for an imagined (long) 18th century, just as in Austen’s writing it’s a symbol for all that is ridiculous about the adult world beyond the parlour.

Simon Skinner: ‘I wouldn’t pay it either’

This World Cup, unlike Russia 2018, is hosted by democratic nations, and unlike Qatar 2022 the walkways to its stadiums are not paved with bones.

Movie Poster of the Week | Tony Stella in Memoriam

Pictured: Tony Stella’s studio with a work-in-progress painting of “Cora” from The Underground Railroad (Barry Jenkins, 2021). Photo courtesy of Midnight Marauder. When the news came that movie poster artist Tony Stella had died unexpectedly on May 1st it sent shockwaves through the world of poster design. While not a household name, Tony was known and admired by anyone interested in the intersection of cinema with illustration and graphic art. He was a passionate advocate for the former, and a brilliant practitioner of the latter. But he was known and yet not known. He engaged in conversations around the world with fellow cinephiles on social media (so many people in their tributes to him wrote things like, “I was talking to him just last week about…”) but very few people I knew had met him in person (he lived in Berlin) or knew how old he was or what he looked like.

MUBI Podcast | “All of Us Strangers”: Andrew Haigh Believes in the Power of Love

Isolated during the COVID pandemic, director Andrew Haigh ( Looking , 2014; 45 Years , 2017) wrote a feature about a man trying to break out of isolation and loss...and peppered it with the dance-pop hits that made him feel less lonely as a gay teen in the '80s. Andrew tells host Rico Gagliano about the cathartic making of his award-winning tearjerker All of Us Strangers (2023), and gives a song-by-song breakdown of almost every tune in the film, from Pet Shop Boys to Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Our audio documentary podcast returns with a sequel to our popular 2023 season that dives deep into the grooves of classic movie “needle drops.” Titled “Needle on the Record, Side Two,” in each episode host Rico Gagliano tells the story of a film that fused music and image to make magic—and sometimes, changed popular culture. Season guests include director Gurinder Chadha and musician Bally Sagoo on the bhangra bangers of Bend It Like Beckham (2003), and star Jack O'Connell on This Is England (Shane Meadows, 2006), the ska-fueled drama that introduced him to audiences.

Rushes | DOJ Approves Paramount-Warners Merger, Wim Wenders Withdraws “Wrong Move,” Remembering Marjane Satrapi

Get in touch to send in cinephile news and discoveries. To keep up with our latest features, sign up for the Weekly Edit newsletter and follow us @mubinotebook on X and Instagram . NEWS The Wrong Move (Wim Wenders, 1975) The US Department of Justice stated it will not challenge Paramount’s acquisition of Warner Bros . In its lengthy statement, it argues that the merger between the two studios doesn’t constitute a monopoly and that the outcome will increase competition, instead of limiting it. This decision arrives on the heels of the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority declaring an investigation into the merger and Paramount’s top lawyer claiming that Netflix is trying to “poison regulators and other stakeholders” against the deal . In a $22 billion deal, the Fox Corporation is set to acquire the tech company Roku . The transaction will ensure that Fox will own Tubi and the Roku Channel, the top two free, ad-supported streamers, and will make them “the third-largest player in U.S. television by share of viewing.

Twilight of the Spielberg Image

Disclosure Day (Steven Spielberg, 2026). During the 2016 Academy Awards, which took place in the middle of the #OscarsSoWhite debate, host Chris Rock taped a segment in which he went to Los Angeles’s Compton neighborhood to talk with locals about how much they knew that year’s Best Picture nominees. The segment singled out Bridge of Spies , Steven Spielberg's mildly successful, well-received nominee, as a movie the Compton audience didn't know existed. Rock was mixing criticism about the Academy's whiteness with the idea that it has turned away from popular cinema, but the joke inside the joke was that among the nominees, some much less popular, it singled out Hollywood’s favorite son. By 2016, the biggest symbol of the past four decades of American cinema populism could also be a shorthand for how out of touch the industry was. Spielberg remains everyone’s idea of popular Hollywood and yet is also rarely relevant on those same terms.

Art for Fart’s Sake: In Praise of "South Park"

"Sermon of the 'Mount'" (S27E01), South Park. Twenty years after its first episode, and barely six months into Trump’s second presidency, the 27th season of South Park (1997–) premiered on Paramount+ on July 23, 2025. It was a period of great mischief. Earlier that month, Paramount had settled with the president for $16 million to end a lawsuit over a pre-election interview with Democratic candidate Kamala Harris he alleged had been falsely edited. That even the company’s own lawyers saw the case as “completely without merit” meant nothing to the company’s top brass. Paramount was readying for an $8.4 billion merger with Skydance Media that required federal approval; three days after Stephen Colbert called the settlement “a big fat bribe” on the Late Show , which runs on the Paramount-owned CBS, came the network’s announcement that the show was cancelled. Coincidentally, Colbert broke the news on the very same day the House approved a $1.

The Action Scene | Fluid Dynamics: The Experimental Action of Kensuke Sonomura

The Action Scene explores the form, history, and visceral power of action cinema through its set pieces Clockwise from top-left: Hydra (Kensuke Sonomura, 2019), Baby Assassins: Nice Days (Yugo Sakamoto, 2024), The Furious (Kenji Tanigaki, 2026), Ninja Hunter (Seiji Chiba, 2015). The Furious (2026) is the action cinema event of the year. Directed by legendary stunt coordinator Kenji Tanigaki, and featuring a murderer’s row of martial arts talent—the lineup includes Chinese DTV stalwart Xie Mao; the self-taught Brian Le from Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022); Joe Taslim and Yayan Ruhian from The Raid (2011); and a cameo appearance from Thai screen icon Jeeja Yanin—the film abounds with dizzyingly intricate fight choreography that is markedly different from typical martial arts fare. The mastermind behind the spectacle is Japanese action director Kensuke Sonomura, who is responsible for some of the most idiosyncratic fight scenes in contemporary action cinema. Sonomura’s journey into action began with Jackie Chan.

The Swifties Are Coming For Metallica’s Kirk Hammett

You have to be really bored to provoke Taylor Swift fans. It's probably pretty boring to be in Metallica in 2026. No shade. But lead guitarist Kirk Hammett, maybe in an attempt to distract from the Geese psyop allegations , recently wore a T-shirt onstage that said "Taylor Swift Is a CIA Psyop."

Dancing on Moonbeams: Artist Luke Fowler on Electronic Music Pioneer Janet Beat

Derek Jarman award-winner and Turner Prize nominee Luke Fowler speaks to Claire M. Holdsworth about his latest film, A Sensation Never Yet Known, a portrait of the electroacoustic composer and musician Janet Beat Merging art and documentary, the films of Glasgow-based artist and musician Luke Fowler examine people who are dismissed, marginalised or mis-recognised in their time. From psychiatrist R.D. Laing and Marxist historian E.P. Thompson to Orcadian filmmaker Margaret Tait, Fowler’s 16mm film portraits expose the process of making and researching them. Combining sounds and images in ways that resist narrative storytelling, his works often present snapshot encounters with the lives and work of visionary composers, like Martin Bartlett, Cornelius Cardew, Brunhild Ferrari and Christian Wolff.

Geese’s Live Show: Not A Psyop

They’re so loose because they’re so tight. When Geese take the stage, they don’t re-create their recordings. It barely even feels like they’re performing songs with a defined structure — more like summoning a familiar sequence of chords and lyrics from the ether, whipping around riffs and fills like a marionette’s appendages. It’s the kind of free-flowing organized chaos that can only come from a hard-won mind-meld, from years spent coming of age together, instruments in hand. Underneath everything else, Geese have that going for them: They play like a single virtuosic organism. The post Geese&#8217;s Live Show: Not A Psyop appeared first on Stereogum .

Reissue of the Week: Mash Down Birmingham by Musical Youth

Wrongtom dismantles the unhelpful idea of the one hit wonder with some help from a new anthology of early recordings by Musical Youth The term “one hit wonder” is tossed about way too often. Almost callous in its dismissive tone, it overlooks all the hard work, and various releases which no doubt paved the way for that one hit song the casual listener remembers. For instance, Althea &amp; Donna cut a handful of respected singles back home in Jamaica before their one pop at the top spot here in the UK with ‘Uptown Top Ranking’, while Toni Basil began her recording career in the mid 60s, followed by years of choreography before ‘Mickey’ became a ubiquitous hit in 82.&nbsp;However, later that...

Placebo – Placebo RE:CREATED

Established in 2005, the All Tomorrow’s Parties Don’t Look Back concert series saw artists including Dirty Three, Sonic Youth and Low revisit back-catalogue albums in full, either at one-off shows or on tour, when the concept was still a novelty. The relatively high-brow status of the artists involved positioned these concerts – at first – as a kind of happening, as though the transference of a solitary, focused experience (listening to an album) to...

No lightweight stuff: A Blood & Fire playlist

In the second part of a tribute to Steve Barrow, Steve Barker selects ten tracks from the catalogue of Blood &amp; Fire, the reggae reissue label helmed by Barrow and underwritten by Simply Red&rsquo;s Mick Hucknall and Elliot Rashman Dr Alimantado &amp; Jah Stitch &ldquo;The Barber Feel It&rdquo; From If Deejay Was Your Trade: The Dreads At King Tubby&rsquo;s 1974&ndash;1977 (1994) Blood &amp; Fire&rsquo;s first album was released in 1994 and came as a result of a trip to Kingston, Jamaica made by Steve Barrow to meet up with one of the island&rsquo;s most prolific and successful producers, Bunny &lsquo;Striker&rsquo; Lee, who proved pivotal to the early success of the label. Striker allowed Steve free access to his tape archive and back catalogue and so his tracks, both released and unreleased, populated the label&rsquo;s first two compilations ( Dub Gone Crazy: The Evolution Of Dub At King Tubby&rsquo;s 1975&ndash;1979 was the second).

Steve Barrow (29 September 1945–27 May 2026)

Steve Barker gives a personal appreciation of the reggae historian and label runner who has died aged 80. When I moved to London for work in the late summer of 1975, just after that year&rsquo;s Notting Hill carnival, the streets of North Kensington were still ablaze with the sounds of reggae and dub; it was inevitable that I would become more acquainted with a music that I had only come across previously in the occasional pop hit. By the time I started in radio three years later, I was a convert, interviewing reggae greats such as Burning Spear, Freddie McGregor, Dennis Brown, and Culture&rsquo;s Joe Hill for BBC Radio Lancashire. I thought I knew everything. It was getting to know Steve Barrow that not only convinced me I knew nothing but that I had to spend the rest of my life learning. Island Records&rsquo; Chris Blackwell once described Steve as &ldquo;the original mod and oracle of all things cool&rdquo;. He was born in Manor Park in East London just after the Second World War ended. His father was a master baker and belonged to the Reform Judaism movement.

Saddleback Mountain House / Casey Brown Architecture

Saddleback Mountain House is the result of eight years of planning and construction to fulfill a family's dream for a home that would support their growing children and a lifestyle strongly connected to the outdoors. From the beginning, the clients asked for a house that responded directly to its landscape, using robust materials and passive design principles to create a sustainable home that would endure and adapt over time.

Percy Lake Cottage / Michael Taylor Architecture + Design

Michael Taylor Architecture + Design was asked to build a quiet rural retreat for a couple the firm already knew, having earlier completed their condominium interior in busy downtown Toronto. The new site could not be more different: a heavily treed slope rising steeply above a calm lake, with a private beach below dotted with old tree stumps. The property occupies the shoreline of Percy Lake, close to Algonquin Park, Ontario . Its bedrock is Canadian Shield granite and stretches of that stone appear across the grounds and have been incorporated into the landscaping.

Designing for Stray Cities: Architecture Beyond the Human

Architecture continues to draw cities as though humans occupy them alone. Plans trace circulation routes, zoning maps assign functions, and buildings are evaluated according to human comfort, safety, and efficiency. Walking through cities across India and Southwest Asia reveals something much more complex. Dogs sleep beneath market stalls, monkeys move across rooftops, birds nest in temple towers and mosque façades, and insects pollinate urban landscapes hidden in plain sight. These species are woven into daily urban life as consistently as human occupants. Streets, courtyards, roofs, drainage systems, markets, and vacant lots are already occupied by multiple species simultaneously . Architectural thinking has been slower to account for this reality.

amass workroom / amass

Eight years after its founding, amass undertook a renovation of its own workspace. The project was not driven by a need for expansion, but by a reconsideration of how the studio works: when a space must continuously adapt to new projects, materials, and modes of collaboration, are the fixed and irreversible elements of conventional fit-outs still necessary?

MonCraft 199X is a creature collecting survival game where the Y2K apocalypse actually happened

Many of you young'uns might hear the term Y2K and think of a vague, all encompassing descriptor of 2000s aesthetics, but us older folk think of it as this apocalyptic event that never came to be at the turn of the new millennium. Because the world didn't end, many thought that it was just a load of hogwash. In reality, there was a genuine computer bug that could have ruined important infrastructure worldwide if it hadn't been fixed leading up to the year 2000. All this to say, here's MonCraft 199X, a Pokemon-esque survival game where Y2K really did happen. Read more

As EA appear to renew the trademark for Ultima, its creator lies in wait to reclaim the game's copyright next year

It's been a while since there's been a new Ultima! Just about eight years, in fact, and it wasn't even called Ultima (it was Underworld Ascendant, which we didn't review back in the day ). Such is the case with many series' that are over 40 years old, they just don't have quite the same steam as they used to. But then earlier this week, it appeared that EA (who have long owned the rights to the series) filed a couple of new trademarks for Ultima this week . And following this, it appears series' creator Richard "Lord British" Garriot is trying to get the copyright back. Read more

CD Projekt Red's CEO still thinks they need to finish their post-Cyberpunk redemption arc, and he's hoping The Witcher 4 will help

I think despite the mess that was the launch of Cyberpunk 2077 , it wouldn't be right to say that CD Projekt Red's reputation was completely tarnished. It is still a game with a lot of cultural relevancy, and nobody can shut up about The Witcher 3 to such a degree that it's even getting a brand new expansion more than 10 years after the last one came out. Even still, it doesn't sound like joint CEO Micha&amp;lstrok Nowakowski is entirely convinced that the studio has managed to complete its redemption arc. Read more

Sony say goodbye to PC and hello to AI in their annual business report, which must be a good thing, right?

Back in March, a report emerged claiming that Sony no longer had plans to release the likes of Ghost of Y&amp;omacrtei and other such singleplayer-only games on PC. Sony are yet to explicitly confirm that this is the case, but it certainly seems like that is the case based on their annual business environment and strategy report for PlayStation. Oh, but it does mention how they plan to use AI, so. Yay. Read more

To make Pragmata's Diana feel naturally childlike, a small group of women dubbed the "Diana Police" was set up to keep things in check

Despite being a dad game, a pseudo-genre that has its fair share of problems in the way it depicts father-child relationships, Pragmata generally seemed to approach all of this fairly well. The consensus seems to be that space man Hugh was genuinely kind of a nice guy, and that his relationship with Diana was actually quite sweet. But as it turns out, the game's lead devs had to get a bit of a helping hand in writing Diana specifically, resulting in a group of women coming in to help as part of the "Diana Police." Read more

What are we all playing this weekend?

Saturdays are for realising that there are ASMR playlists for Frictional's Amnesia games.

Decriminalizing same-sex relationships and its impact on social media discussions in Asia

Nature Human Behaviour, Published online: 10 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02485-6 Legal reforms decriminalizing same-sex relations in Asia led to modest normative changes, reflected in reduced online moral judgement and improved offline perceptions of neighbourhood safety, particularly among younger populations.

Climate change boosts soybean production but worsens bean quality

A study published by Food Research International analyzed the triple effect of climate change on soybean quality—increased carbon dioxide (CO₂), high temperatures and drought. Using predictive modeling powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and based on experimentally verified data, the study assessed how these pressures would affect the beans. It concluded that the seeds would change their composition, producing 50% more beans but of lower nutritional quality.

Bat rays employ a chemical cue to warn others of danger

Frightened bat rays produce a chemical cue to warn other rays of danger, a well-known anti-predator strategy for bony fish that has not been documented in cartilaginous fish until now. Oregon State University researchers found the behavior of bat rays changed when they received water flow from a tank where another bat ray was frightened by a mock predator, suggesting that a chemical disturbance cue was passed from one tank to the other.

Jumping gene caught moving between species in first direct observation

Genes are not passed on exclusively from parents to their offspring. Some are mobile and can also jump to other species, as researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen have now shown. The direct observation of a jumping gene provides the first evidence that such genes can transfer from one species to another—from predator to prey. The study is published in the journal Scientific Reports.

Scientists found a cannabis compound that relieves pain without the high

Compounds responsible for the aroma of cannabis and many other plants may offer a surprising new way to relieve chronic pain. Researchers found that several cannabis-derived terpenes significantly reduced pain in mouse models of fibromyalgia and post-surgical pain, with one terpene, geraniol, showing especially strong effects. Unlike THC, these compounds are not associated with psychoactive effects, making them a potentially attractive alternative for pain treatment.

A single cobalt shock could trigger global EV battery supply chaos

The global cobalt supply chain is more interconnected—and more vulnerable—than previously thought, with disruptions capable of triggering far-reaching cascades across multiple countries and industries.

The first primates may have evolved in the cold, not the tropics

A surprising new study suggests the earliest primates didn't originate in tropical forests but in cold, dry parts of North America. Some may have even survived seasonal Arctic conditions by slowing their metabolism or hibernating. Researchers found that dramatic climate shifts, rather than warmth, played a major role in driving primate evolution and expansion.

[Review] The UCL–Lancet Commission on Migration and Health: review of the state of progress

Although progress towards implementation of international agreements since publication of the UCL–Lancet Commission on Migration and Health in December, 2018, has been slow, global trends in migration and forced displacement have continued to rise. However, the COVID-19 pandemic showed that reaching refugees and migrants with health interventions is feasible with political will. The benefits of refugee-inclusive and migrant-inclusive health-care systems during emergencies (eg, COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine) are apparent, with numerous examples of inclusive policy making being rapidly introduced and innovative models developed to support health-care access, including preventive measures such as vaccination.

Astronomers Want to Build a Swarm of Telescopes to Find LIFE

Current plans for flagship telescopes in the 2040s are focused on answering a simple question - are we alone? Our best telescopes to date, such as the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have only given us tantalizing glimpses into the atmospheres or other worlds, but not enough to truly determine whether or not life as we know it exists there. Astronomers have been waiting for technology to catch up to their dreams of what is possible in terms of new types of telescopes, and recently the W.M. Keck Institute for Space Studies released a report detailing the Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE) mission, which they hope will help provide a definitive answer to that simple question.

Plutonium in Earth Rocks Signals Long-ago Cosmic Collision

A small lump of rock pulled up from the Pacific Ocean seafloor in 1976 is giving scientists new clues about an ancient cosmic event. More than a hundred million years ago, two neutron stars collided. The resulting energetic kilonova sent a rain of long-lived elements, such as isotopes of plutonium, through space. Eventually, this stellar "debris" settled onto Earth. Some sank to the bottom of the ocean and got incorporated into a chunk of ferromanganese rock. Hidden inside were a few hundred atoms of plutonium radioisotopes. They provide the strongest clues about what created them in the merger and how long ago it happened.

Frozen Greenland middens preserve 4,500 years of farms, seal hunts and toilets

Greenland has a long and checkered history of human settlement: several Paleo-Inuit cultures since approximately 2,500 BCE, descendants of Vikings between the 10th and 15th centuries, and early modern Danes since 1721. All left their traces on the landscape, for example in the form of ancient domestic rubbish heaps. Composed of waste like animal bones, excrement, mollusk shells and human artifacts, these middens are a precious resource for archaeologists.

Jurassic viral gene may have helped apple snails start laying eggs on land

Pomacea canaliculata, commonly known as the apple snail, is a pest commonly found in Hong Kong's wetlands and farmlands.

It is listed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) among 100 of the World's Worst Invasive Alien Species.

Armed with AI, study identifies prey from predator crunching sounds

Interactions between hard-shelled marine mollusks such as clams and snails and their predators play a critical but largely unseen role in shaping coastal ecosystems.

Using less memory to look up IP addresses in Mess With DNS

I&rsquo;ve been having problems for the last 3 years or so where Mess With DNS periodically runs out of memory and gets OOM killed. This hasn&rsquo;t been a big priority for me: usually it just goes down for a few minutes while it restarts, and it only happens once a day at most, so I&rsquo;ve just been ignoring. But last week it started actually causing a problem so I decided to look into it. This was kind of winding road where I learned a lot so here&rsquo;s a table of contents: there&rsquo;s about 100MB of memory available the problem: OOM killing the backup script attempt 1: use SQLite problem: how to store IPv6 addresses problem: it&rsquo;s 500x slower time for EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN attempt 2: use a trie some notes on memory profiling attempt 3: make my array use less memory idea 3.1: deduplicate the Name and Country how big are ASNs? idea 3.2: use netip.Addr instead of net.IP the result: saved 70MB of memory!

ASCII control characters in my terminal

Hello! I&rsquo;ve been thinking about the terminal a lot and yesterday I got curious about all these &ldquo;control codes&rdquo;, like Ctrl-A , Ctrl-C , Ctrl-W , etc. What&rsquo;s the deal with all of them? a table of ASCII control characters Here&rsquo;s a table of all 33 ASCII control characters, and what they do on my machine (on Mac OS), more or less. There are about a million caveats, but I&rsquo;ll talk about what it means and all the problems with this diagram that I know about. You can also view it as an HTML page (I just made it an image so it would show up in RSS). different kinds of codes are mixed together The first surprising thing about this diagram to me is that there are 33 control codes, split into (very roughly speaking) these categories: Codes that are handled by the operating system&rsquo;s terminal driver, for example when the OS sees a 3 ( Ctrl-C ), it&rsquo;ll send a SIGINT signal to the current program Everything else is passed through to the application as-is and the application can do whatever it wants with them.

Usually I don&rsquo;t want to write a whole blog post about those things because I really don&rsquo;t have much more to say than &ldquo;hey this is useful!&rdquo; It started to bother me that I didn&rsquo;t have anywhere to put those things: for example recently I wanted to use diffdiff and I just could not remember what it was called. the solution: make a new section of this blog So I quickly made a new folder called /til/ , added some custom styling (I wanted to style the posts to look a little bit like a tweet), made a little Rake task to help me create new posts quickly ( rake new_til ), and set up a separate RSS Feed for it.

Importing a frontend Javascript library without a build system

I like writing Javascript without a build system and for the millionth time yesterday I ran into a problem where I needed to figure out how to import a Javascript library in my code without using a build system, and it took FOREVER to figure out how to import it because the library&rsquo;s setup instructions assume that you&rsquo;re using a build system. Luckily at this point I&rsquo;ve mostly learned how to navigate this situation and either successfully use the library or decide it&rsquo;s too difficult and switch to a different library, so here&rsquo;s the guide I wish I had to importing Javascript libraries years ago. I&rsquo;m only going to talk about using Javacript libraries on the frontend, and only about how to use them in a no-build-system setup.

Why pipes sometimes get "stuck": buffering

Here&rsquo;s a niche terminal problem that has bothered me for years but that I never really understood until a few weeks ago. Let&rsquo;s say you&rsquo;re running this command to watch for some specific output in a log file: tail -f /some/log/file | grep thing1 | grep thing2 If log lines are being added to the file relatively slowly, the result I&rsquo;d see is&hellip; nothing! It doesn&rsquo;t matter if there were matches in the log file or not, there just wouldn&rsquo;t be any output. I internalized this as &ldquo;uh, I guess pipes just get stuck sometimes and don&rsquo;t show me the output, that&rsquo;s weird&rdquo;, and I&rsquo;d handle it by just running grep thing1 /some/log/file | grep thing2 instead, which would work. So as I&rsquo;ve been doing a terminal deep dive over the last few months I was really excited to finally learn exactly why this happens. why this happens: buffering The reason why &ldquo;pipes get stuck&rdquo; sometimes is that it&rsquo;s VERY common for programs to buffer their output before writing it to a pipe or file.

"Rules" that terminal programs follow

Recently I&rsquo;ve been thinking about how everything that happens in the terminal is some combination of: Your operating system &rsquo;s job Your shell &rsquo;s job Your terminal emulator &rsquo;s job The job of whatever program you happen to be running (like top or vim or cat ) The first three (your operating system, shell, and terminal emulator) are all kind of known quantities &ndash; if you&rsquo;re using bash in GNOME Terminal on Linux, you can more or less reason about how how all of those things interact, and some of their behaviour is standardized by POSIX. But the fourth one (&ldquo;whatever program you happen to be running&rdquo;) feels like it could do ANYTHING. How are you supposed to know how a program is going to behave?

Design-First Collaboration

Rahul Garg continues his series of Patterns for Reducing Friction in AI-Assisted Development .

Humans and Agents in Software Engineering Loops

There's been much talk recently about how AI agents affect the workflow loops of software development. Kief Morris believes the answer is to focus on the goal of turning ideas into outcomes. The right place for us humans is to build and manage the working loop rather than either leaving the agents to it or micromanaging what they produce. more…

Ideological Resistance to Patents, Followed by Reluctant Pragmatism

Context Anchoring

Conversations with AI are ephemeral, decisions made early lose attention as the conversation continues, and disappear entirely with a new session. Rahul Garg explains how Context Anchoring externalizes the decision context into a living document. more…

Bliki: Architecture Decision Record

An Architecture Decision Record (ADR) is a short document that captures and explains a single decision relevant to a product or ecosystem. Documents should be short, just a couple of pages, and contain the decision, the context for making it, and significant ramifications. They should not be modified if the decision is changed, but linked to a superseding decision. As with most written documents, writing ADRs serves two purposes. Firstly they act as a record of decisions, allowing people months or years later to understand why the system is constructed in the way that it is. But perhaps even more valuable, the act of writing them helps to clarify thinking, particularly with groups of people. Writing a document of consequence often surfaces different points of view - forcing those differences to be discussed, and hopefully resolved. A general rule is to follow an “inverted pyramid” style of writing, commonly associated with news stories. The key is to put the most important material at the start, and push details to later in the record.

Encoding Team Standards

AI coding assistants respond to whoever is prompting, and the quality of what they produce depends on how well the prompter articulates team standards. Rahul Garg proposes treating the instructions that govern AI interactions (generation, refactoring, security, review) as infrastructure: versioned, reviewed, and shared artifacts that encode tacit team knowledge into executable instructions, making quality consistent regardless of who is at the keyboard. more…

US Solar and Storage Defy Political Hostility to Dominate Q1 Power Installations

c0lo writes: US solar and storage defy political hostility to dominate Q1 power installations : Despite the many policy barriers created by the Trump administration over the past year, new figures reveal that solar and storage continue to dominate new power additions to the US grid. According to the latest quarterly US solar market report published today by trade body the Solar Energy Industries Association and analysts Wood Mackenzie, solar and storage accounted for 91% of new power generation capacity installed in the first quarter of 2026. Solar specifically saw 7.8GW of new capacity additions in the quarter, ensuring it retained its position as the leading source of new power added to the grid. It performed particularly strongly in Republican areas, with states that voted for President Trump in the last election accounting for 74% of all new solar capacity installed in Q1. Texas, Florida, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Arizona, and Mississippi ranked among the top 10 states for new solar installations.

Where to Find the Colors Your Screen Can’t Show You

owl writes: https://moultano.wordpress.com/2026/06/19/where-to-find-the-colors-your-screen-cant-show-you/ There are colors that I want to show you, but I can't. They exist in the real world. You probably saw some of them today, but I can't show them to you on a screen. A digital photograph can't capture them, and your screen can't display them. No game you've ever played has contained them. Unless you have specialized equipment, they are entirely absent from the digital world. Most of them are cyans. On screens we live a life starved of cyans. It is shocking when you see one in person. They seem unfamiliar and intense in an otherworldly way.

datasette-agent 0.2a0

Release: datasette-agent 0.2a0 Highlights from the release notes: Tools can now ask the user questions mid-execution. Tools that declare a context parameter receive a ToolContext object, and await context.ask_user(...) can ask a yes/no, multiple-choice ( options=[...] ) or free-text ( free_text=True ) question. While a question is unanswered the agent turn suspends: the question renders as a form in the chat UI and persists to the internal database, so suspended conversations survive a server restart. Once answered, the tool re-executes from the top with stored answers replayed, so call ask_user() before performing side effects. #20 New built-in save_query tool: the agent can save SQL it has written as a Datasette stored query . Saving always requires human approval - the agent shows the full SQL plus the proposed name, database and visibility, and nothing is stored until you click Yes. #20 The ask_user() feature was enabled by the new LLM alpha I built yesterday with the help of Claude Fable 5.

Anthropic Walks Back Policy That Could Have ‘Sabotaged’ AI Researchers Using Claude

Anthropic Walks Back Policy That Could Have ‘Sabotaged’ AI Researchers Using Claude Big scoop for Maxwell Zeff at Wired: “We’re changing Fable 5’s safeguards for frontier LLM development to make them visible.” Anthropic said in a statement to WIRED. “We made the wrong tradeoff and we apologize for not getting the balance right.” There's been a huge outcry about Anthropic's policy, tucked away in their system card , that Claude Fable/Mythos would identify "requests targeting frontier LLM development" and "limit effectiveness" without notifying the user. It's good news that they're dropping the invisible aspect of this. It would be a whole lot better of they dropped this category of refusals entirely. Update : More details from @ClaudeDevs on Twitter : We’re rolling out changes to make Fable 5’s safeguards for frontier LLM development visible. Starting this week, flagged requests will visibly fall back to Opus 4.8—the same as our safeguards for cyber and bio. You will see this every time it happens.

asyncinject 0.7

Release: asyncinject 0.7 I built this utility library to support an asyncio dependency injection pattern a few years ago. I was using it with Datasette and Claude Fable 5 spotted some bugs in the dependency which it then fixed for me. It's a very proactive model! Tags: async , projects , python , claude-mythos

datasette 1.0a33

Release: datasette 1.0a33 This alpha is a significant step on the road to a stable 1.0, finally extending the ?_extra= pattern I introduced in Datasette 1.0a3 to cover queries and rows in addition to tables. That pattern is also now documented ! I wrote a whole lot more about the new release on the Datasette project blog: Datasette 1.0a33 with JSON extras in the API . Because API explorer tools are almost free to build now I had Claude Fable 5 in Claude Code (for the plan ) and GPT-5.5 xhigh in Codex Desktop (for the implementation ) build me this custom extras API explorer to help demonstrate the feature: Tags: projects , datasette , annotated-release-notes , ai-assisted-programming

Claude Fable is relentlessly proactive

After two days of experience with Claude Fable 5 I think the best way to describe it is relentlessly proactive . It knows a whole lot of tricks and it will deploy pretty much any of them to get to its goal. I'll illustrate this with an example. I was hacking on Datasette Agent today when I noticed a glitch: a horizontal scrollbar that shouldn't be there in the jump menu chat prompt. I snapped this screenshot: Then I started a fresh claude session in my datasette-agent checkout, dragged in the screenshot and told it: Look at dependencies to help figure out why there is a horizontal scrollbar here I had a hunch the cause was in a dependency of Datasette Agent (likely Datasette itself) and I knew Fable was good at digging into dependency code, either by inspecting installed files in its own virtual environment site-packages or by referencing a local checkout on disk. Telling it to start with dependencies felt like a good bet. I got distracted by a domestic task and wandered away from my computer.

Quoting Andrew Singleton

Jenny owns a crematorium. John’s propane company gives her a $20 billion investment in return for 5 percent of her operation. Jenny throws $10 billion into the incinerator, then pays John $10 billion to buy propane to burn that money to ashes. John reports that his AI investments have generated $10 billion in revenue this quarter and that he owns 5 percent of a $100 billion business. A reporter from Forbes is assigned to profile John and Jenny, and over the course of his research, he becomes embroiled in a passionate but confusing three-way love affair with them, which eventually turns into a polyamorous common-law marriage. His profile is glowing, but light on financial details. &mdash; Andrew Singleton , AI Economics for Dummies Tags: ai

It is unclear how many users were compromised in the attack, but the maintainers were playing Whac-A-Mole for several days to respond to each newly compromised package. The project has turned off the AUR's new-user registration , for now, but it is unclear what its long-term response will be or if the AUR can be secured without major changes to its existing collaboration model.

The Software Freedom Conservancy's LLM-backed generative AI recommendations

The Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC) has announced the release of its recommendations for using LLM-backed generative AI systems for FOSS contributions . The recommendations were created by the SFC and volunteers from the free-software community. The recommendations reflect the extremely difficult dilemmas that these systems pose for FOSS contributors. SFC and its volunteers understand that FOSS developers are approaching LLM-gen-AI from a variety of perspectives. The recommendations offer practical assistance to minimize the damage caused by using proprietary systems, whether FOSS contributors reject LLM-gen-AI or choose (voluntarily or by employer mandate) to use them. These recommendations are best practices (but not definitions or requirements) that SFC and its volunteers formulated after careful study of the growing LLM-gen-AI use among FOSS contributors. SFC will follow these recommendations with a series of supporting materials , including documents, online tutorials, public Q&amp;As, podcasts , and other community engagement.

Scaling the Next Generation of Global Innovation: How Google Supports Top Startups Around the World

In the high-stakes world of tech entrepreneurship, the leap from a brilliant prototype to a scalable, market-defining business can be brutal. Founders need much more than capital; they need deep architectural guidance, sovereign-level policy alignment, and technical systems engineered to enable rapid growth. Joy’s Law states: "[N]o matter who you are, most of the smartest people work for someone else." We recognize that true innovation inherently happens “elsewhere.” This philosophy drives our active support of global accelerators across a diverse, geographic footprint of innovation markets to tap into this decentralized brilliance. For over a decade, our Google accelerator program has acted as a catalyst for this exact transition. By bridging the gap between raw entrepreneurial ambition and Google’s world-class engineering ecosystem, the program has quietly built one of the most resilient, high-performing startup portfolios on Earth.

Agent Factory Recap: 100X engineering with AI agents in Google Antigravity 2.0

In this episode of the Agent Factory, I sat down with Rody Davis, one of Google’s top agentic engineers. We dive into the massive shift from traditional IDEs to agent-first platforms, the reality of code reviews in an AI-driven world, and how to use "skills" to perform at a 100X level. This post guides you through the key ideas from our conversation. Use it to quickly recap topics or dive deeper into specific segments with links and timestamps. Google Antigravity 2.0 - What is it? Antigravity 2.0 has evolved from a simple agentic IDE into a full-scale agent-first platform. It now consists of four core pillars: a standalone desktop Agent Manager for orchestration, a robust CLI for server-side work, an SDK for custom Python-based workflows, and a specialized IDE . This unbundled approach allows developers to compose their own environment, managing multiple folders and complex project structures without being forced into a single-workspace layout.

Choice, compliance, and collaboration: Europe’s path to open digital sovereignty

The European Commission’s Tech Sovereignty Package comes at a defining moment for the continent's digital future. European competitiveness and security are top of the agenda for European business, institutions, and citizens, and a significant investment in European digital capacity is needed to deliver those goals. In that context, it is understandable that Europe is considering how to boost the European Union digital footprint from chips, to cloud adoption, to AI data infrastructure. The European Commission’s strategy is to be grounded in "openness, partnership, and fair competition." Indeed, the package contains bold measures consistent with these principles on interoperability to address vendor lock-in and an open source strategy for the public sector, as well as on more rapid data center deployment. We will work cooperatively with the EU institutions providing our best knowledge about how to achieve these stated objectives in practical terms.

Cloud Network Insights: end-to-end observability for the Cross-Cloud Network

In today’s digital landscape, the network is no longer confined to a single data center or even a single cloud provider. Enterprises are increasingly adopting cross-cloud strategies, connecting Google Cloud workloads to on-premises environments, other clouds like AWS and Azure, and a vast array of internet-facing applications. While this flexibility drives innovation, it can also introduce significant operational complexity. When a user experiences degradation in application performance, the critical question remains: Is it the network, the application, or something else? We are excited to announce the general availability of Cloud Network Insights , an out-of-the-box, Google Cloud-native solution that provides comprehensive visibility into network and digital experience performance across complex multi-cloud, and hybrid environments. Closing the visibility gap with active monitoring Cloud Network Insights, offered in partnership with Broadcom AppNeta , expands your observability beyond Google Cloud to your entire global deployment.

From Kubernetes Dashboard to Headlamp: Understanding the Transition

For many people, Kubernetes Dashboard was their first window into Kubernetes. It offered a simple visual way to see what was running in a cluster, inspect resources, and build confidence without relying on the command line. For years, it helped developers, students, and operators make sense of Kubernetes, and it served as an important onramp into the ecosystem. The Kubernetes Dashboard project has now been archived. We deeply respect the work the team did and the role Dashboard played in making Kubernetes more approachable for so many users. Headlamp builds on that foundation and carries it forward. It keeps the clarity of a visual interface while adding capabilities that match how Kubernetes is used today. This includes multi-cluster visibility, application-centric views, extensibility through plugins, and flexible deployment options that work both in-cluster and on the desktop. This guide is meant to help you navigate that transition with confidence.

Reconciling the Past: Correcting Records for Unfixed Kubernetes CVEs

The Kubernetes project relies on transparency to empower cluster administrators and security researchers. One important way we do that is by publishing CVE records into the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures database. As part of our ongoing effort to mature the official Kubernetes CVE Feed , we have identified some discrepancies. CVE records for a few older, unfixed issues incorrectly include a fixed version field. The Kubernetes Security Response Committee (SRC) will correct the affected CVE records on June 1, 2026. This may result in vulnerability scanners identifying these vulnerabilities in places where they were previously not detected. To help reduce confusion, this post provides a technical update on three vulnerabilities that were disclosed in previous years but remain unfixed: CVE-2020-8561 , CVE-2020-8562 , and CVE-2021-25740 .

Announcing etcd 3.7.0-beta.0

SIG-Etcd announces the availability of the first beta release of etcd v3.7.0 . This new version of the popular distributed database and key Kubernetes component includes the long-requested RangeStream feature, as well as a refactoring and cleanup of multiple legacy components and interfaces. v3.7 will deliver improved security, better operational reliability, and an improved experience for working with large resultsets. First, however, the project needs users to test the beta. You can find v3.7.0-beta.0 here: Source code Binaries Official container images Please try it out and report issues in the etcd repo . This beta also determines the EOL of version 3.4. RangeStream In etcd v3.6 and earlier, it is challenging to work with requests that return large resultsets. The client or requesting application is forced to wait for the full result set, leading to unpredictable latency and memory usage. The RangeStream RPC lets calling applications accept result sets in chunks, reducing latency and making buffering memory usage more predictable.

Kubernetes v1.36: New Metric for Route Sync in the Cloud Controller Manager

This article was originally published with the wrong date. It was later republished, dated the 15th of May 2026. Kubernetes v1.36 introduces a new alpha counter metric route_controller_route_sync_total to the Cloud Controller Manager (CCM) route controller implementation at k8s.io/cloud-provider . This metric increments each time routes are synced with the cloud provider. A/B testing watch-based route reconciliation This metric was added to help operators validate the CloudControllerManagerWatchBasedRoutesReconciliation feature gate introduced in Kubernetes v1.35 . That feature gate switches the route controller from a fixed-interval loop to a watch-based approach that only reconciles when nodes actually change. This reduces unnecessary API calls to the infrastructure provider, lowering pressure on rate-limited APIs and allowing operators to make more efficient use of their available quota. To A/B test this, compare route_controller_route_sync_total with the feature gate disabled (default) versus enabled.

Kubernetes v1.36: Mixed Version Proxy Graduates to Beta

Back in Kubernetes 1.28, we introduced the Mixed Version Proxy (MVP) as an Alpha feature (under the feature gate UnknownVersionInteroperabilityProxy ) in a previous blog post . The goal was simple but critical: make cluster upgrades safer by ensuring that requests for resources not yet known to an older API server are correctly routed to a newer peer API server, instead of returning an incorrect 404 Not Found . We are excited to announce that the Mixed Version Proxy is moving to Beta in Kubernetes 1.36 and will be enabled by default! The feature has evolved significantly since its initial release, addressing key gaps and modernizing its architecture. Here is a look at how the feature has evolved and what you need to know to leverage it in your clusters. What problem are we solving? In a highly available control plane undergoing an upgrade, you often have API servers running different versions. These servers might serve different sets of APIs (Groups, Versions, Resources). Without MVP, if a client request lands on an API server that does not serve the requested resource (e.g.
