The walls that once separated TV shows, feature films, viral videos, and holiday snapshots are collapsing. All those forms are (or can be) movies, in the original sense of the word: They’re moving pictures. And now they are more and more likely to be moving on the same screens. This convergence has been in progress for a while. But it crystallized with the announcement last year that YouTube, long associated with phones and laptops, had surpassed Disney to become the company with the most U.S. viewers on television sets. The biggest player in American TV today is a hub where you can rent…

Freddie Ponton21st Century Wire JD Vance claimed that more aid is entering Gaza now than at any point in the last five years. The public documentary record from the UN and frontline humanitarian agencies, as reflected in the updates of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) for the occupied Palestinian territory) points in the opposite direction. JD Vance said Gaza aid is better than ever. The record says otherwise. The record clearly says otherwise, and taken together, the documents we are providing today show a shrinking flow of humanitarian cargo, collapsing health and food systems, and…

On June 28, 2025, locals from Dallas-Fort Worth met for a pot-luck dinner at a community garden, a garden that allows residents to partake in the seasonal harvests no matter how they’re able to contribute. Around a bonfire, participants lamented about the No Kings Day marches held two weeks prior; the event in Dallas-Fort Worth […] To read this article, log in here or subscribe here.

As Trump’s approval plummets, besieged by the fiasco in Iran and his bizarre attempts to deify himself, instead of reassuring the nation, he’s threatening to throw away more taxpayer money on another senseless war. Speaking at a meeting of the extreme right Christian nationalist organization, Turning Point USA, in Phoenix on April 17, Trump spewed […] To read this article, log in here or subscribe here.

Since I buy books faster than I read them, they accumulate on my shelves. I never buy a book without intending to read it, but often it has to wait for years before it is so honored, and at my death there will be many that remain undeservedly unread. It must be 30 years at least, and probably nearer forty, since I bought a copy of the second edition, published in 1831, of Sir Walter Scott’s Letters on Demonology and Witchcraft. Finally, for the sake of a book that I was writing, I read it; and I finished it with…

In March this year, trading standards officers in the West Midlands town of Dudley closed down a number of “rogue” businesses, mostly mini-marts and vape shops, due to links to organized criminal gangs. Their priority criterion was not tax evasion or counterfeit goods. It was the grooming threat to children.  The shops are staffed by a continuous flow of migrant workers, including men from Kurdistan and Afghanistan, many of whom arrived in the “Boriswave” of migration, the surge of non-EU immigration that took place while Boris Johnson was prime minister. In one shop, officers found a book in Kurdish which…

As a small but extremely gas-rich country surrounded by larger neighbors with a history of tense rivalries, Qatar has long depended on stability and careful geopolitical balancing to secure its prosperity. Yet in the past ten months, and especially since February 28, 2026, Doha has been drawn unwillingly into regional conflagration, facing missile and drone attacks that have severely disrupted its aviation, banking, shipping, tourism, and other critical sectors, as well as an Israeli strike in September 2025 on a busy residential neighborhood. A prolonged war involving Iran would erode Qatar’s hard-earned reputation as a safe, reliable hub for business…
