Chinese authors published as many papers as American, British, German and Japanese researchers combined in 2025. Yet a new study suggests American researchers cite Chinese works far less than expected economist.com/science-and-te…

sharing the only emergent policy I can see: the slow realization of horrific snippets of history, in this case, our history, as something we must learn to carry, different from but reminiscent of the wife of the couple in the Netflix drama series "Shtisel" gemini.google.com/app/85e137…

Si Zeteo logra ser rentable, el caso confirmará q el periodismo de suscripcion puede escalar sin la estructura de un grupo de comunicacion tradicional, y q la insatisfaccion de las audiencias con los medios establecidos es una oportunidad. #MediaEvolution periodismo.substack.com/p/ze…

La frontera entre periodista, creador y medio de comunicación es cada vez más difusa. Una nueva generación de proyectos periodísticos está construyendo modelos basados en voces propias, comunidad y relación directa con la audiencia.

"Understanding power should sharpen our moral analysis, not replace it." We mustn't lose sight of the power asymmetry but we also have an "obligation to distinguish between governments and citizens, between armed actors and civilians." - @libbylenkinski haaretz.com/opinion/2026-06-…

I started watching #thekilling because I was looking into the author of "The Chestnut Man" and am currently in the middle of season 2. A relatively recent review by Karol Barzowski: filmfolly.com/review/the-kil…

2 articles from June 8, released hours apart, I'm trying to get my head around:
* FT opinion piece: "Netanyahu’s grand strategy is coming apart"
* Economist: "How Israel is frustrating Donald Trump’s Iran plans"
do these pieces synergize?

Israel's most potent northern lobby now champions diplomatic roadmap restoring Lebanese sovereignity as the core element of Isr security.
Consequential given prevalent claims Israel's security versus Hezbollah can be achieved only via permanent IDF presence across south Lebanon.
Lobby 1701, representing 100k Northern Israel residents, looks to @realDonaldTrump & Washington to help facilitate sustainable security. We believe true normalization with Lebanon is achievable through a comprehensive diplomatic framework that addresses core challenges. 1/2

Netanyahu govt, state of play:
—Appointed Bibi’s personal lawyer as state comptroller
—Justice minister refusing to abide by Supreme Court decisions
—Haredi gangs physically attacking Supreme Court judges, IDF officers & police officers
—Appointed Bibi’s loyalist military secretary as Mossad chief
—Northern Israel still under Hezbollah fire
—Passive bystanders in unfinished Iran campaign/talks
—Even Donald Trump losing patience
This is all since the weekend

העתירה הזאת הוגשה לפני שנתיים, מדהים ההתנהלות בעצלתיים של בית המשפט והעובדה שאפשרו למדינה להמשיך ולגרור את זה כאילו שום דבר חריג לא קורה בבתי הכלא ועניין הפיקוח החיצוני לא קריטי
בום: בג"צ קבע פה אחד (עמית, סולברג, ברק-ארז) קיבל את עתירת ארגוני זכויות האדם וקבע כי המדינה חייבת לאפשר לאנשי הצלב האדום לבקר את האסירים הביטחוניים.

Rahm Emanuel, the former White House chief of staff who may be planning his own run for the presidency, explains why he thinks AI is different to disruptive technologies of the past. Where does he stand on how to handle the world’s most powerful technology? econ.st/3QMVNTA

It is sheer agony to decide on the veracity of contradictory statements by two individuals renowned for their commitment to truthfulness.

NETANYAHU AND TRUMP HAD A CALL, THEN POSTED COMPLETELY CONTRADICTORY STATEMENTS!

Listen I think it's entirely plausible that Trump said this to Netanyahu. It's almost a rite of passage for every American president since Clinton
But one thing we should remember from the Biden years is that the "POTUS swore at Netanyahu" news cycle is often followed, some days or weeks later, by Netanyahu finding a way to continue doing the thing that prompted the call in the first place axios.com/2026/06/01/trump-n…

The controversy surrounding the timeline of the recent Israel Day parade in New York and the Israeli politicians that were there reminds me of the questions surrounding the IDF Home Front rescue and support team response at the 2021 Florida Miami Surfside condominium collapse
