Michael Murphy: Spain's migrant wave exposed the cracks in the international order
Skip to Content Europe has to contend with Spain's offer to regularize migrants — and Morocco's friends Migrants fill bottles with water on the beach next to the CETI (Centros de Estancia Temporal de Inmigrantes) on August 2, 2026 in Ceuta, Spain.

Can the Tories be saved?
Are rumours of the Tories’ demise greatly exaggerated? Jack Rankin, MP for Windsor, joins Michael Murphy to talk about the past, future and failings of the Tories. He argues that the Conservative Party has learnt the necessary lessons from its stunning defeat to Keir Starmer’s Labour Party in 2024. Rankin, who won his seat during that election, arrived in Parliament at a seemingly inauspicious moment — yet he believes he bought low and is ready to sell high come the next general election.

Directive 8020 Review
The fear of the unknown has always been one of horror’s most effective tools. Supermassive Games’ hit anthology series, The Dark Pictures, has consistently translated that fear into interactive storytelling. Its latest entry, Directive 8020, leans heavily into paranoia and uncertainty, placing players aboard a doomed spaceship where nobody can be trusted. But while the game succeeds in delivering tension and memorable choices, it doesn’t quite reach the heights of the studio’s best work.

The agentic revolution is redefining the talent lifecycle Original
Artificial intelligence is fundamentally reshaping how work is defined. While much of the initial conversation centered on productivity gains and simple automation, we are now witnessing a larger, structural shift. We are entering the "Agentic Era," where AI agents are no longer just tools on a belt - they are active participants in the workforce. This isn't just a technology upgrade, it's a talent revolution.

2026 Fantasy Baseball Starting Pitcher Tiers and Spring Training Previews Original
Key Points Tarik Skubal and Paul Skenes headline Tier 1 as draft-day rotation foundations. Gerrit Cole and Spencer Strider bring spring volatility that could swing draft boards. Shohei Ohtani's workload and role remain key roster-construction questions. Spring velocity, command, and usage trends should guide final SP decisions. Use tiers to balance stability early and upside later in drafts.
Overvalued Draft Risks to Avoid Original
Key Points Agustín Ramírez's ADP bakes in a 20-20 ceiling despite ground-ball and defensive risk signals. Salvador Perez's age-36 season introduces decline risk at a still-aggressive draft price. Will Smith's playing-time cap limits counting stats despite Dodgers lineup appeal. The catcher position is in a very interesting place in 2026 fantasy baseball. Though the scarcest of positions on the roster, there's a surprising amount of depth beyond the tier drop that comes after no-doubt C1 Cal Raleigh.
Overvalued Draft Risks to Avoid Original
Key Points Second base scarcity is inflating draft costs beyond projection-backed value. Several early- to mid-round options carry measurable age and workload decline risk. Underlying metrics from 2025 signal fragile batting average and power floors. Injury history reduces games-played confidence at premium price points. Drafting value over positional panic preserves roster flexibility and category balance.
Overvalued Draft Risks to Avoid Original
Key Points Francisco Lindor: Late offseason hamate surgery plus prior injuries create early-season downside risk. Trea Turner: Age-33 speed volatility and recurring soft-tissue injuries suppress return on ADP. CJ Abrams: Growth narrative pushes draft cost beyond realistic five-category ceiling.

Some of your favorite targets and sleepers have been sniped, a run just happened on a position you haven't drafted for yet, you've inadvertently neglected a category (or two). It's now your pick. Panic and stress start to seep in. Your eyes dart across the screen looking at names. You need a shortstop. You need steals.
