    Germany and California Make Up an Environmental Superpower (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The world’s third- and fourth-largest economies have pledged to environmental protections. Will others follow suit? The biggest news during last week’s Climate Week NYC came not from the US but from Germany, where the government of the world’s third-largest economy committed to phasing out fossil fuels by 2045. It was the first time Germany has explicitly made such a promise, Fiona Harvey noted in The Guardian. Germany’s previous pledges, Harvey added, “were only for ‘carbon neutrality.’” Carbon

    Stop the Price Gouging (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    These days, you are lucky if you only get overcharged once. After all, what’s the fun in gouging you only once, when companies can use sneaky design tricks that manipulate your behavior and nudge you into handing over data or signing up for things you don’t need—to trick you into a monthly subscription and gouge you 12 times a year, possibly for the rest of your life, and sometimes even after you are dead? Companies have perfected the art of luring you into a subscription for all manner of every

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    It has never been more urgent to revive the idea of peace, not as a slogan, but as the only serious, respectable, responsible, reasonable, humane position. In a world that seems to be spiraling out of control, in which chaos seems to reign and peace feels elusive, your celebration of peace, disarmament, and sanity becomes ever more important. I regret not being with you—but I am with you in spirit, deeply honored by your recognition of my life’s purpose and passions. I’ve always believed that jo

    The Carnival of Venice Biennale (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    That so much of the art of “In Minor Keys” is muted in effect is ironic, because so much of it is overproduced, aspirationally eye-catching, and so big. No exhibition is more inherently political than the Venice Biennale, thanks to its peculiar structure of “national participations” (better known as pavilions) in addition to a central curated show. But no Biennale in decades has been more shaken by political turmoil than this year’s edition, the 61st, which opened in May and will remain on view—

    Zohran Mamdani’s Campaign May Have Accomplished Something More Fundamental Than Moving Policy Debate to the Left (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Most commentary on Zohran Mamdani’s campaign for mayor of New York City focuses on policy, technology, and charisma. Were rent freezes, free buses, and universal childcare the key? Or did victory depend on an unusually gifted candidate, more memorable videos, vulnerable opponents, or dissatisfaction with the status quo? All of this mattered. But none can explain how a campaign for mayor could generate such fresh, organized, and sustained civic engagement at scale. The campaign did not only talk
