You know what a pink ribbon signifies. Breast cancer, right? Now what about a red dress? Did you come up with heart disease? No? Don’t worry: You’re not alone.

This is not how it was supposed to go for Iran. For years, the Islamic Republic worked to build up a network of allies throughout the Middle East, widely known as the “Axis of Resistance,” which, in the event Iran itself were attacked, could rain down destruction on Israel, the US military, and American allies […] Read more ›

In the week leading up to President Donald Trump’s war in Iran, the Pentagon was waging a different battle: a fight with the AI company Anthropic over its flagship AI model, Claude.

Humans are a coastal species. More than one in ten people in the world live within three miles of the shore, and about 40 percent of us live within an hour’s drive of the ocean. These shoreline regions generate a massive force in the global economy — in the US alone, coastal counties account for […] Read more ›

Driverless cars have the potential to substantially reduce the death toll from likely the most dangerous everyday activity in American life: driving. So it might surprise you to know that the very people who are working to make transportation safer, more pleasant, and more humane are actually pretty divided on them. That is because if […] Read more ›

Readers and audiences have been falling in love with British romance stories for centuries. Books by authors like the Brontë sisters and Jane Austen still fly off the shelves, and they’ve been adapted for the big and small screen dozens of times. Wuthering Heights alone has been adapted over 30 times, and director Emerald Fennell’s […] Read more ›

America’s AI industry isn’t just divided by competing interests, but also by conflicting worldviews. In Silicon Valley, opinion about how artificial intelligence should be developed and used — and regulated — runs the gamut between two poles. At one end lie “accelerationists,” who believe that humanity should expand AI’s capabilities as quickly as possible, unencumbered […] Read more ›

One thing was clear before James Talarico’s win over Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the Texas Senate Democratic primary Tuesday night. This contest wouldn’t be about policy or ideology; it would be a choice between two very different types of “fighters,” decided along racially polarized lines. Talarico, a state representative and seminarian, offered grit paired with […] Read more ›

It’s in the knowledge that every piece has a proper place, and the idea that seemingly infinite chaos […] Read more ›

Tolkien’s One Ring, placing it on their collective fingers, and dancing around singing, “I just can’t wait to become a Nazgûl.” On Monday evening, the Court handed down Mirabelli v. Bonta, with all six of the Court’s Republicans in the majority, and […] Read more ›
