FCC chairman moves to repeal fairness doctrine rule, critics call it illegal

FCC Chairman is pushing to repeal a key broadcast rule that critics say would fundamentally reshape American broadcast news. Opponents argue the move is illegal and would primarily benefit news organisations aligned with Donald Trump. The rule in question plays a central role in how US television and radio news operates.

Does repealing this FCC rule threaten the independence of broadcast news?

Good ice cream starts with natural ingredients, not artificial flavours or excess sugar

The secret to good ice cream lies in the right proportions of fat, sugar, fibre, protein and natural flavourings, says Jan Dutkowski, an artisan ice cream producer. For years Polish consumers have grown accustomed to ice cream made with artificial flavours and large amounts of sugar. Dutkowski encourages shoppers to choose products with short, readable ingredient lists.

Should Polish consumers pay more for ice cream made with natural ingredients?

USDT vs USDC: Tether leads on liquidity, Circle on transparency and audits

USDT (Tether) and USDC (Circle) are the two largest stablecoins, both pegged one-to-one to the US dollar and fully backed by reserves. Tether leads in liquidity and trading volume across global exchanges. Circle differentiates itself through transparency – it is a publicly traded company with regular audits and licences in both the US and the EU.

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.

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?

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.

Göransson used ancient Greek instruments and scrap metal to score Nolan's "The Odyssey"

Composer Ludwig Göransson is reuniting with Christopher Nolan for "The Odyssey," their third collaboration after "Tenet" and "Oppenheimer." Nolan instructed him to avoid modern sounds, leading Göransson to use ancient Greek instruments, scrap metals and gongs. This marks a significant departure from the heavy synths he employed for "Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu."

Is using ancient instruments the right choice for "The Odyssey" soundtrack?
