Why do these fossil shells flip their spirals every few millennia?

People who can still read will rule the world
If the illiterate Dark Ages are indeed coming, at least we will have our stacks of hardcovers to comfort us. A recent essay in The Atlantic tells us what most of us have already surmised: reading is dead, and it's not coming back. In "The Age of Reading Is Over," we learn that not only are fewer people reading long-form prose for pleasure, but soon they will permanently lose the ability to do so.

A villainous blueprint for managed poverty

The Dutch Covid inquiry is not looking for the truth
To me, that uniformity remains one of the most troubling features of those years. Measures so similar, so sweeping, and adopted so quickly are difficult to explain as dozens of governments independently reach the same conclusion. Whatever the truth behind that coordination, the Covid era cannot be understood one nation at a time. What was done to people's freedoms â and how each country now chooses to examine it, or to look away â concerns us all. What follows is one country's reckoning.

This is part of a shocking tally where 683 children under 10 were reported for offences over three years. This isn't some isolated bureaucratic error. It's the latest symptom of a system that treats tiny children as miniature criminals or budding bigots while real threats from failed integration and ideological grooming go unaddressed.
