Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.

The president of the United States calling for The New York Times and other "artificial media outlets" to be *arrested* for publishing stuff that offends his ego is third-world country behavior, actually. It's hard to believe that MAGA ever claimed to be the free speech movement.

No longer should it be a debate about whether the Premier League would dare to drum out Manchester City. Now the question takes another form: how can you justify anything else? Attitudes can only harden now the first official judgment has been published, subject to an appeal, and the sheer scale of deception is clear. No other club has swindled English football so brazenly. Nobody has gone about it in such a devious and heavy-handed fashion. It has disfigured years of competition and, for that alone, City’s supporters should probably brace themselves for the heaviest of punishments. Enough to bring about relegation? At this stage, it feels increasingly inevitable and justified. Let’s be clear, City deserve what is surely coming. 📝 @DTathletic 🔗 nyti.ms/4yXalR2

A senior researcher at one of America’s most important companies becomes convinced that the ongoing growth of its products could spell peril for humanity Experts inside the firm agree with him. He presents his concerns to executives. How does the CEO respond? I’m talking about Exxon in the 1980s of course
Imagine, for a moment, a vast and growing firm — a conglomerate that could be said to define its era of American capitalism. Over the past several years, this firm’s products have become the biggest story in the U.S. economy. Its products are so mindbogglingly expensive to produce that they have driven new types of financial and infrastructural innovation, yet nevertheless the company seems to be quite profitable. And little wonder: Everyone wants what they have. Investors, policymakers, and economists believe that America’s ongoing economic growth and competitiveness depend on ample access to this company’s products. The sitting Republican president has staked his administration on making sure Americans can get as much of it as they want — regulations be damned. But there is a problem. One of the company’s researchers has become convinced that the company’s products are dangerous — so harmful, in fact, that their continued use and growth trajectory portends catastrophic risk for hum
