Ancient Egyptian princesses were skilled warriors, remains reveal

Newly examined remains of ancient Egyptian princesses reveal that royal women were skilled with powerful weapons and were buried alongside them. The discovery challenges assumptions about the passive role of elite women in ancient Egypt. Bone analysis suggests the weapons were not merely ceremonial — the princesses regularly used them.

Do archaeological finds like this change how we view women's roles in antiquity?

Bonhoeffer's three conditions for stupidity — and why they matter today

Philosopher Jonny Thomson draws on Dietrich Bonhoeffer's three conditions for the kind of stupidity that destroys societies: outsourcing thinking to an authority, wilful ignorance, and conformity. He maps each condition onto today's world — AI answering our moral questions, political parties enforcing loyalty over personal conviction. Thomson argues that conscious, independent thinking is the essential antidote.

Does AI threaten people's ability to think for themselves?

Maciej Wyderka breaks 1:44 barrier in 800m on return from injury layoff

24-year-old Maciej Wyderka, who broke Adam Kszczot's indoor Polish record in the winter, returned to competition after a forced break and immediately clocked a sub-1:44 time over 800 metres — a barrier only four Polish athletes have ever beaten. The performance demonstrates he has maintained his excellent form. Wyderka acknowledges that to compete at the world level, he must clearly beat the Polish record of 1:43.22.

Will Maciej Wyderka break the Polish 800m record this season?

Uranium is cheap now, but AI's nuclear energy push may spike prices soon

Uranium prices are currently well below their 2007 peak despite growing global interest in nuclear energy. Rising demand — driven in part by the energy needs of AI data centres — could quickly outstrip limited supply and push prices higher. Industry analysts highlight yellow cake (uranium oxide) as a strategic commodity of increasing importance.

Is nuclear energy the key to meeting AI's growing power demands?

SEC vs CFTC: which US regulator oversees crypto — and how is the split decided?

Crypto oversight in the US is split between the SEC, which regulates crypto assets that function like securities, and the CFTC, which covers assets resembling commodities along with futures and derivatives tied to them. The division of authority is often ambiguous and is a source of ongoing legal disputes across the industry. Determining which agency has jurisdiction depends on how a given crypto asset is classified.

Should the US create a single crypto regulator instead of splitting oversight between the SEC and CFTC?

Heat exposure in pregnancy and infancy slows brain development in babies

Scientists have found that exposure to high temperatures during pregnancy and early infancy causes slower growth of the thalamus — the brain region involved in processing sensory information. The study provides the first evidence that heat can directly affect neurological development in young children. The findings carry significant implications as climate change intensifies heatwaves globally.

Should protecting pregnant women from heat become a public health policy priority?

Alien: Isolation Outshines the Films With a Better Survival Horror Lead

The survival horror game Alien: Isolation, set between the first and second Alien films, is praised as the franchise's best non-Weaver instalment, with Amanda Ripley (Ellen's daughter) as its lead. The article argues she proves the Ripley legacy works without Sigourney Weaver's presence. The broader Alien franchise has expanded via Ridley Scott's prequels, Alien: Romulus, and the TV series Alien: Earth. The author considers Alien: Isolation ripe for a screen adaptation.

Polish tourists have shed their bad reputation abroad

For years, Polish tourists had a poor reputation in Europe — fighting over sun loungers, playing loud music on beaches, piling plates high at all-inclusive buffets and complaining that the waiter didn't speak Polish. The opinion piece acknowledges the stereotype was partly true but argues that Polish holidaymakers have significantly improved and now blend in with other European travellers. Bad tourist behaviour, the author concludes, has no nationality.

Have Polish tourists genuinely improved their behaviour abroad?
