The Trump administration is rolling out a new narrative about its aid program: Aid continues! More effective than ever! Trade over aid!
And it's nonsense. Trump and Musk destroyed a program that was saving a life once every 10 seconds on average. This has been Trump's most lethal policy, and now he's doubling down by withholding vaccines from poor countries -- like a $3 vaccine against malaria, and a $4 vaccine against cervical cancer. Some 600,000 will die just from that.
"Trade over aid" sounds fine, but what it means in practice is that if Zambia doesn't agree to sell copper and cobalt to American companies, we'll withhold lifesaving aid from Zambian villagers.
Here's my column on the hollowness of Trump's attempt to dress up his destruction of humanitarian aid, after a year to assess results: https://t.co/Wfw71XjNeQ

The reason so many shows are set in the 80s and 90s is cellphones make like 50% of plots obsolete. Contact anyone at any time, find almost any piece of knowledge, it's very difficult to get lost.

Same reason Star Trek has "oh, communications are blocked" every 2nd episode.

@vanshv2k Saw her play live for the first time (against Bencic) and she is one of the great watches in the sport - it’s even more striking in person.

Yes but have you heard it played badly

First 8 bars of Chopin's Ballade No. 3 are the most perfect bars. The extraordinary sense of perfect balance - the harmony is going to the dominant, and the resolution, and back again. It's ever so simple. And how the voices answer one another.
The piece could have ended here and we would say "That was beautiful"
A perfect start to the piece full of love.

@rolandparis Been doing the same. And I don’t need to insist: students just don’t want to go there anymore.
