Really, it’s almost unfair to hold a tech company to its mission statement. From Google’s “Don’t Be Evil” to WeWork’s “Elevate the World’s Consciousness,” mission statements are usually written in a company’s adolescence, at that awkward moment when their dreams stretch to the horizon, the venture capitalists are all smiles, and no one has heard […] Read more ›

When Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth summoned around 800 top military officers to Quantico, Virginia, this week, there was widespread speculation about mass firings, new geopolitical priorities, even a declaration of war. None of that happened. Instead, President Donald Trump showed up to deliver many of his usual boasts and grievances to a largely subdued […] Read more ›

The government shutdown that began Wednesday might have been one of the most anticlimactic developments yet: President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans were never going to negotiate, and Democrats had just about every incentive to obstruct.

Most people know Jane Goodall, the eminent primatologist who died on Wednesday at 91, for her singular, field-defining work on wild chimpanzees.
