Al Jazeera Media Network urgently calls upon the journalistic community, press freedom organisations, and relevant legal bodies to take decisive action to halt the forced starvation and crimes against journalists and media professionals in Gaza.

Fascinating. Grammar nerds, can you explain why @theguardian.com doesn’t capitalize Maga?

Sam Altman isn't keen on you reading my book. EMPIRE OF AI is based on 300+ interviews, 7 yrs covering AI, and my time as the first reporter who got extensive access to OpenAI. I sought OpenAI's perspective throughout. For months they said it was coming. It never did. Pre-order here: empireofai.com.

This is great political content. I’d vote for him.

Can’t believe this is still going on and even bigger than it was at the time.

Kindness is often cheaper (thus "fiscally responsible") than the punitive approaches we generally try:

We are seeking an intern to write about Britain for The Economist. The successful candidate will be given challenging, exciting work straight away. Interested? Apply by July 18th

Elon Musk casually, and illegally, dismantled USAID. According to a new study in the Lancet, that action will lead to *14 million* premature deaths between 2025 and 2030. Again: Elon Musk is directly responsible for 14 million coming deaths. 4.5 million will be children.

During these unprecedented times, it’s important to remember that, although rare, ‘precedented’ is a word.

Well done Proteas! 🇿🇦🙌

They’re probably right.

From @julianchokkattu.bsky.social: "Good lord, you can watch a movie together in Apple Vision Pro. Two people, wearing headsets, sitting next to each other on a couch. You know there are these things called TVs, right?"

If we don't equip people to verify information themselves, we leave them at the mercy of those who weaponise doubt. This is the new civic skill set. Critical thinking isn’t an academic ideal anymore. It’s the new infrastructure of democracy

What a brilliant jury we have for Effie Awards SA this year! An incredible collection of talent in the marketing and advertising business. Look forward to the process with you all. www.bizcommunity.com/article/effi...

“What did you get for your money, honey? How do you get your kicks?” Great article. Points at too much money, no political savvy & the gross misuse of obscene amounts of money to create more money and power, fleeting as they are. Imagine all of this as a power for good instead of craven ego.

It’s a sandpit in a playground of bullies.

Sounds like a wonderful woman doing an important job well. May she RIP.

Not quite clear what’s going on here.

China was already scoring wins in its rivalry with the U.S. for scientific talent. Now, under President Trump, cuts to research funding, attacks on top universities, and visa crackdowns—especially targeting Chinese students in “critical fields”—are accelerating that shift.

The details of the proposed budget cuts to NSF are just horrific. 🔭🧪⚛️☄️ Example: "the astronomical community will be stunned that the agency intends to wind down one of the sites for the celebrated Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO)." WTF? www.science.org/content/arti...

Every country needs it. And not just for kids. They should run it in old age homes, in Padel coffee shops and school parking lots.

This is one of the world’s largest and most sophisticated physics experiments, it’s won the noble prize, and it literally does not work without both sites. Like it can’t function.

I really can’t express how deeply weird it is that when pressed for an explanation about his random black eye, Elon decided to go with, “I told my child to punch me in the face.”
