Wembanyama is basketball’s Sidd Finch, but real.

Victor Wembanyama desperately wanted to learn to do a backflip with the monks at the Shaolin temple.
At 7-foot-5, that didn’t happen. But what unfolded was the most formative summers of his short career that has fueled this postseason run. My exclusive conversation w/ Wemby:

🔴 NEW: For years, a state-backed Russian foundation, Pravfond, has been paying for the legal defense of alleged spies, criminals, and propagandists, from a taxi driver convicted of espionage to notorious arms dealer Viktor Bout. Despite being sanctioned by the EU two years ago, the money is still flowing.

Today is Ihar Losik’s birthday—a @RFERL journalist, a father, and a political prisoner, jailed by a regime afraid of truth.
He has been imprisoned since 2020, sentenced to 15 years for his work.
May this be his last birthday behind bars. He deserves freedom—and so does Belarus.

One of Russia's leading foreign policy experts, best guy on China, @AlexGabuev of @CEIP_Politika is now wanted by the Russian state.
This is not a badge of honor - this is bad news for Alexander. Yet it proves that his analysis hits the spot.

Песня Radio Free Europe, заглавная на первом сингле R.E.M., записана почти ровно 44 года назад - и вот теперь группа ее перемиксовала и перевыпустила специально для нас. Приятно.

You didn’t see this one coming…🎤
Unstoppable R.E.M. is dropping a never-before-heard remix — “Radio Free Europe 2025” — in tribute to RFE/RL, at a time when our future is uncertain and funding unstable.

The treatment of detained Ukrainian civilians is one of the most brutal parts of Russia’s war. Roshchnya wanted to expose this system, until her own disappearance & unexplained death became an emblem of Russia’s violation of the laws of war w/@FbdnStories washingtonpost.com/world/int…

Wouldn't call myself a Dylan-head, but I never tire of this album.
10 Apr 2025
Nashville Skyline was released on this day in 1969.
Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash recorded “Girl from the North Country” as a duet for the album. Later that year, Dylan was one of the first guests on The Johnny Cash Show, where they performed the song together.

"One of the policemen told me, 'You're a young man. Do you really need Azadliq Radiosu? (RFE/RL) Just keep your head down and live your life," he said. Farid Mehralizada, an @RFERL journalist and economist, has been wrongfully imprisoned by Azerbaijani authorities for more than 300 days. #FreeFarid
During his appearance at the Baku Court of Serious Crimes, Mehralizada, 30, detailed the events surrounding his arrest on smuggling charges in late May 2024.

“They probably thought, since they already have a fabricated criminal case in their hands, they would just add me to it and move on... ”

Zelensky says the AFU captured two Chinese citizens who were fighting for Russia. I'm not surprised – back in February, we even chatted with a Chinese soldier who confirmed he had taken part in the war against Ukraine. x.com/ZelenskyyUa/status/190…
27 Feb 2025
We also found many fighters from Nepal, China, India, Colombia, Sri Lanka, Cameroon, and other countries. One of the Chinese fighters, Vey Duan, even confirmed to us that he had been fighting in Russia but had already returned home.
