Dutch proposals urge EU banks to pool power in talks with US tech giants

The Netherlands has put forward proposals urging European banks and financial firms to pool their collective buying power when negotiating deals with US technology giants providing critical services such as cloud computing and artificial intelligence. The initiative aims to reduce Europe's over-dependence on foreign digital service providers. The Dutch proposals form part of a broader push for greater EU technological sovereignty.

Should European banks pool their buying power in negotiations with US tech giants?

New York's 150-year-old Boys' Club has a proven model for protecting boys' mental health

The Boys' Club of New York, a 150-year-old organisation, runs after-school and weekend programmes for around 2,500 boys, many from disadvantaged backgrounds or at risk of immigration enforcement. The club has developed a time-tested model for supporting boys' mental health, drawing media attention as a positive counterpoint to the broader US mental health crisis among young males. Its participants often come from single-parent households with limited access to academic support.

Do after-school programmes effectively protect boys' mental health?

Polish kids game mostly on smartphones – Komputronik survey

Komputronik surveyed nearly 5,000 Polish parents about their children's gaming habits. A study published in Scientific Reports found a positive correlation between gaming and higher IQ scores in children, though researchers did not examine effects on sleep, physical activity or school performance. The survey reveals that Polish children most commonly play on smartphones rather than consoles.

NASA simulations show lunar base needs at least 4 crew and regular resupply

Simulations examining NASA's planned crewed lunar base suggest that mission success depends heavily on crew size and the reliability of resupply missions from Earth. Optimal configurations require at least several astronauts and a regular logistics schedule. Too small a crew or gaps in supply deliveries significantly increase the risk of mission failure.

Should NASA prioritise building a permanent base on the Moon?

Inflationary vs deflationary crypto: key differences explained

Inflationary cryptocurrencies have an unlimited or growing token supply, which can erode their value over time. Deflationary tokens have a fixed or shrinking supply, which theoretically supports price appreciation. The choice between the two depends on investment strategy and risk tolerance.

Are deflationary cryptocurrencies a better investment than inflationary ones?

Isabella of France: the ruthless queen who dethroned and killed her husband

Isabella of France endured her husband Edward II's favourites for nearly 20 years before taking action alongside her lover Roger Mortimer, officially acting in the name of her son, to dethrone the king. According to historical accounts, Edward II was subsequently murdered with a red-hot poker. The piece challenges the romanticised portrayal of Isabella in popular culture, arguing she was in fact a greedy, ruthless and amoral political operator.

Does Isabella of France deserve condemnation for dethroning her husband?

MedPAC data shows US primary care is thriving, despite crisis narrative

A March report by the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) found that US primary care is improving across every tracked metric. Nearly all Medicare beneficiaries have a primary care provider, over three-quarters can get an appointment within two weeks, and PCP compensation is rising faster than other specialties. This directly contradicts the dominant narrative that primary care in America is in crisis.

Should the US invest more in primary care despite the positive MedPAC data?
