As her dark debut about a tradwife who wakes up in the past is made into a film by Anne Hathaway, the novelist explores the sinister truth behind the barefoot influencers Gingham dresses, linen aprons; toddlers smiling toothily out from their perch on a perfectly cocked hip. And the mothers holding these babies? They’re beautiful, obviously. They speak in a whisper. Their skin tone is varied in the exact range and spectrum of honey. Tradwife. It’s a frilly word, the kind that holds a gun to your head and demands you say it in sing-song. The media coverage of the phenomenon has been as breathless and decidedly feminised as the term itself. I have yet to find an article on the topic that was not written by a woman, which feels ironic, given that the term – as well as the vision therein – was originally coined and circulated by men, born out of the dank, murky caves of online “incel” forums, where anonymous usernames set forth the deeply unoriginal vision of a wife who would do everything the real women in their lives refused to do: manage the house, give birth to children, have sex on command, and most importantly, ask nothing in return.

Emigrating to be with your partner sounds wildly romantic, but what happens when the person is right and the place very much isn’t? I met my wife in Queensland in 2001. She’s from Bern, but was in Australia to study marine science. She needed help collecting fish for her project, and had heard that I was handy with a spear gun.

Emigrating to be with your partner sounds wildly romantic, but what happens when the person is right and the place very much isn’t? I met my wife in Queensland in 2001. She’s from Bern, but was in Australia to study marine science. She needed help collecting fish for her project, and had heard that I was handy with a spear gun. We hit it off straight away, and began our romance on semi‑deserted islands near the Great Barrier Reef. We went on to make a life together. My wife liked Australia and eventually got citizenship, but after we had our first son she wanted to be near her family. Continue reading...

A decade ago, I knew nothing about organizing. But ordinary people are essential to fighting the rise of authoritarianism In January of 2017, I sent a tentative email to a few dozen friends and acquaintances who I suspected were also freaked out by the election of Donald Trump, asking if they wanted to join a local chapter of an effort called Indivisible, intended to serve as a grassroots liberal counterweight to the new administration. It was frankly not possible, at that point, to know less about activism than I did. In the more than nine years since, our group has sent an email every weekday – approximately 2,300 in total – with a single concrete daily ask for our members: call your elected representatives. Make a donation. Show up for a rally. During that span, we have knocked on tens of thousands of doors, raised hundreds of thousands of dollars, sponsored refugee families, and mobilized our friends, neighbors, colleagues and acquaintances to keep fighting for democracy. Saul Austerlitz is the author of How to Assemble an Activist Continue reading...

The latest research suggests there’s far more to good fortune than mere accident When the founder of Panasonic, Kōnosuke Matsushita, was asked what quality he valued most in job candidates, his answer baffled everyone: whether they were lucky. Not their credentials, not their intelligence, not their experience. Luck. For years, this anecdote struck me as charmingly eccentric – the kind of thing a titan of industry gets away with saying because nobody around them dares to laugh. Then I began studying the neuroscience of fortunate people, and I stopped laughing, too. What my research has revealed is that luck, far from being a roll of the cosmic dice, operates through identifiable patterns of brain chemistry and behaviour. The consistently lucky are not blessed by fate. They are running different neurological software – and the remarkable thing is that this software can be installed. Continue reading...

UK's Ofcom To Investigate Complaints Of Climate-Change Denial Authored by Paul Homewood via notalotofpeopleknowthat blog, This is frightening. Indeed it is truly Orwellian... From the Guardian: A U-turn by the UK’s broadcasting regulator Ofcom means it will investigate complaints of climate change denial on television and radio for the first time since 2017. The move marks a victory for campaigners who have accused the regulator of allowing some broadcasters “to spout dangerous climate lies” and “flout” rules on accuracy and impartiality. Complaints about programmes on TalkTV and TalkRadio were assessed by Ofcom, which then decided not to investigate, the same result as more than 1,000 other climate complaints since 2020. However, after a letter from the Good Law Project (GLP) in January, requesting an explanation for the rejections, Ofcom said it had withdrawn its original decision and would “consider afresh” the complaints. One complaint was about comments from a Talk guest who said in November that climate change “was a deliberate effort to create fake anxiety … out of something that is false”. I n the second case, also in November, another guest said the Labour government’s energy policies were “suicidal”, “driven by pseudoscience in many cases” and “a kind of cultish behaviour”. A reassessment led Ofcom to conclude its approach to “due impartiality” in the broadcasts “required reconsideration”, with the results of the investigations to be published in due course. Ofcom stuck by its decision to not investigate three other climate complaints. “Rightwing channels have been allowed to spout dangerous climate lies, unchecked, for too long,” said a GLP spokesperson. “We’re glad Ofcom is finally listening and await the conclusion of the investigations. Should it fail to take action against Talk’s misinformation, we will not hesitate to hold them to account.” An Ofcom spokesperson said: “ In re-examining the programmes, we concluded that they raise potentially substant...

After the anguish of Iraq and Afghanistan, it’s almost unthinkable the US would again send troops to the Middle East – but its president is desperate and narcissistic Concern is justifiably growing that a cornered Donald Trump will send US ground troops into combat on Iranian soil to avoid being personally and politically humiliated in a war he started, mismanaged and cannot end.

After the anguish of Iraq and Afghanistan, it’s almost unthinkable the US would again send troops to the Middle East – but its president is desperate and narcissistic Concern is justifiably growing that a cornered Donald Trump will send US ground troops into combat on Iranian soil to avoid being personally and politically humiliated in a war he started, mismanaged and cannot end. Yet such a self-serving escalation, even if ostensibly limited in duration and scope, could itself prove catastrophic for him and the American people. Think what happened in previous US military interventions. In sum, he’s caught in a modern-day catch-22. Pick your own metaphor for dumb. Trump’s stumped, hoist by his own petard, stuck between a rock and a hard place, and up the creek without a paddle. The creek in question is, of course, the strait of Hormuz. Firmly ensconced in his weird parallel universe, Trump insists the war is all but won, Iran is suing for peace and talks are making good progress. In the real world, Iran is still fighting on all fronts, Israel is still bombing, the strait of Hormuz remains largely closed , and the Iran-allied Houthi militia in Yemen has joined the war , attacking Israel and potentially blocking Red Sea trade routes. The US and Iran have each issued maximalist demands , but there is no sign of actual negotiations. They are even further apart than they were before Trump, egged on by Benjamin Netanyahu, abandoned diplomacy last month. Sometime soon, Trump will be forced to confront the huge gap between what he wants and what’s on offer. At that point he could turn to the troop buildup in the Gulf and order ground attacks.

POET Technologies Inc. ( POET ) is a name that I have been extremely bullish on, rating it as a strong buy in multiple instances over the past year. Recently, POET’s stock has been under pressure as it is down more than 13% over the past month, despite a successful participation at the OFC 2026 conference. During the conference, POET announced a significant partnership with optoelectronics giant LITEON and an expanded partnership with Lessengers; both are for the co-development of 1.6T transceivers. With POET expanding its partnerships with Tier 2 ODMs, the company’s moves over the past years appear to have resulted in a CPO ecosystem parallel to Nvidia’s ( NVDA ). In a world where hyperscalers are utilizing their own ASICs and custom AI infrastructures, these partnerships could allow POET to penetrate hyperscalers’ data centers as they continue to shift away from Nvidia’s complete, closed-loop solutions. The significance of this ecosystem is already starting to show, in my opinion, after Nvidia’s latest investments in Coherent ( COHR ) and Lumentum ( LITE ) amidst the ongoing Indium Phosphide (InP) shortage. As these investments could further tighten laser supply, POET could have a significant moat since its 1.6T optical engines utilize 4 laser chips, potentially allowing its customers to produce more modules at the same global InP supply. In my opinion, this moat could see POET receiving meaningful orders from its partners, LITEON and Luxshare, setting it up for a meaningful revenue ramp in late 2027. With a strong cash position to expand capacity ahead of this potential demand, I’m reiterating my strong buy rating for POET. OFC 2026 Highlights POET is coming off the OFC 2026 conference , where it showcased its external light source (ELS) products, Starlight and Blazar. The company also received the Lightwave Innovation Reviews award for its Teralight optical engine during the conference, which is set to be at the core of its latest partnerships. POET’s participat...
