Funeral services begin in Iran for Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei

Funeral services have begun in Iran for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the country's longtime supreme leader. During his tenure Khamenei concentrated power, oversaw crackdowns on dissent and built a network of armed proxy forces that extended Iranian influence across the Middle East. His death opens a period of deep uncertainty over the country's political direction.

Will Khamenei's death open Iran to political change?

HBO's 2019 "Watchmen" miniseries is one of the best in recent memory

Damon Lindelof's nine-episode HBO miniseries "Watchmen" (2019), based on Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' landmark comic book, has been praised as one of the best miniseries in recent years. The show delivers a layered, politically charged narrative that reimagines the superhero genre. It surpassed expectations set by Zack Snyder's divisive 2009 film adaptation.

Is HBO's "Watchmen" series better than Snyder's 2009 film?

A PLN 67 scrambled eggs on Krupówki in Zakopane — what do you actually get?

A restaurant called Księstwo Góralskie on Krupówki street in Zakopane charges PLN 67 for a plate of scrambled eggs. Journalists deliberately ordered the dish to test what customers actually receive for that price. The result illustrates how steeply priced food can be in Poland's most popular mountain resort.

Are food prices on Krupówki street in Zakopane too high?

The Case Against Ultra-Processed Foods Is Weaker Than Believed

The term "ultra-processed foods" (UPFs) has become one of the dominant ideas in American diet culture over the past decade, driving media coverage and consumer guides. However, the scientific evidence underpinning concerns about UPFs is considerably weaker than popular narratives suggest. Key studies in the field carry significant methodological limitations that call sweeping conclusions into question.

Is the fear of ultra-processed foods scientifically justified?

What a Car's Drag Coefficient Actually Means

A car's drag coefficient (Cd) measures how much aerodynamic resistance the vehicle experiences and directly affects fuel consumption and top speed. The lower the Cd, the less power the engine needs to maintain a given speed. However, the relationship between body shape, speed and real-world drag is more complex than the single number implies.

German soldiers' memoirs from 1939: Poles were brave, not weak as propaganda claimed

Nazi propaganda portrayed the September 1939 campaign as an easy victory over a weak enemy, but memoirs of Wehrmacht soldiers tell a very different story. Their accounts describe Polish soldiers as courageous, well-trained and determined defenders. The resistance put up by Polish troops earned respect even within the ranks of the German army.

Should school history education include more perspectives from enemy soldiers?

Slavery was the foundation of ancient Rome's economy, not just a footnote

The power of ancient Rome, legendarily founded in 753 BC, was built on slave labour that formed the core of its entire economy, not merely a component. Historians have rarely faced the full scale and brutality of this system. Enslaved people sustained every aspect of imperial life, from agriculture to administration, and their tragic personal stories have survived to the present day.

Should schools teach more about the role of slavery in ancient Rome?

Offshore Wind in Trouble: Why Are Energy Giants Pulling Out?

The offshore wind energy sector is facing serious headwinds as major investors pull back from projects. Rising construction and operating costs, supply chain disruptions and unattractive energy contract prices are the main drivers. Industry experts nonetheless argue the problems are cyclical and structural rather than terminal, and stop short of writing off the technology altogether.

Should offshore wind investment be abandoned given the sector's current problems?
