Data centres and the midterms: Trump’s AI gamble is becoming a political liability (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THERE WERE LOTS of champagne corks popping during US President Donald Trump and Chinese Prime Minister Xi Jinping’s asymmetric bromance last week. Trump’s fawning over Xi, proudly showing him his new helicopter pad and inviting him for a sneak preview of his new ballroom was excruciating to watch. Never mind the palpitations at the Pentagon, following his US Ambassador David Perdue’s claim that Trump offered to sell US military hardware to China. Xi, inscrutable and unyielding, offered nothing i
Stars and Stripes: 'The towers suddenly came into view, only the bottom halves were visible' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THE TUESDAY MORNING of 11 September 2001, was shaping up to be a relatively slow news day, following an even slower news month. The New York Mayoral primaries were scheduled to take place. Mike Bloomberg’s victory was a given and, aside from his press conference and celebration that evening, there wasn’t much to do, other than hit up a few polling stations. I received a call from the Sunday Tribune at the same time as the first report on NPR about a plane crashing into one of the Twin Towers at
Stars and Swipes: America loves its wild mustangs - so why are they ending up in a ‘kill chain’? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A RECENT REPORT in the New York Times drawing attention to a legal loophole that allowed hundreds, possibly thousands, of wild horses to be rounded up and funnelled into a ‘kill chain’ has triggered a furore in the US amongst animal rights activists and wild herd advocacy group. Which has in turn ignited a firestorm of online outrage. It’s the modern-day equivalent of an epic letter-writing protest that started seventy-five years ago and almost certainly saved America’s wild herds from extinctio
Stars and Stripes: Dolly Parton truly belonged to all of America — red and blue (opens the original)
Read excerpt
SINGER AND SONGWRITER, celebrity and philanthropist, sex symbol and businesswoman, a supporter of liberal causes who retained the loyalty and affection of the most rock-ribbed conservative states. Dolly Parton’s multi-faceted career, larger-than-life persona and outsized contribution to America’s country music canon, was only part of the story. The damburst of accolades that followed the announcement of her death are testament to her ability to transcend musical genres and nimbly sidestep cultur
Stars and Swipes: The USS Lincoln’s retreat exposes the cracks in Trump’s war machine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AND SO IT’S over. The mighty USS Lincoln has turned tail and is limping towards its San Diego base with its malnourished, exhausted and thoroughly demoralised crew of 5,000 sailors. The decision to end the longest at-sea deployment in modern US warfare came only after a land mutiny by the sailors’ families and a public outcry about the conditions they had been forced to endure. The Lincoln’s retreat is the latest humiliation heaped upon humiliation as the US’s conflict with Iran grinds on with n
