Pope Leo XIV has issued a manifesto calling for robust regulation of artificial intelligence. His first encyclical, “Magnifica Humanitas,” has sparked widespread online reactions. Many young people appreciate his stance, seeing few leaders addressing AI's rapid rise.

Proud to be the first high school student in the world to ever be sanctioned by an authoritarian regime for uncovering corruption. It just proves that the work I’ve done to expose Russias sanctions evasion stablecoin, A7A5, has touched a raw nerve.

Dignity in Dying market law change on the basis of 'safe, peaceful, curated' deaths. But 1 in 10 have complications.

"Signs of distress escalated to repeated verbalizations, including 'help me' until sedation was achieved..[causing] profound distress for the family."

Yesterday I joined fellow Parliamentarians, outside Downing Street, to campaign for fairer hospice funding.

I had the privilege of visiting LOROS Hospice in Leicestershire last year, and saw first-hand the vital care that hospices provide to those nearing the end of life.

Unfortunately, economic policies are pushing hospices like LOROS to the brink.

We need properly funded palliative care and I will continue to work cross-party to ensure we get it!

“The chief aim of the poet seems to be pleasure, the pleasure of writing poetry and the pleasure of reading it, and the book glories in the things that have made Camelot, down through the years, such an enchanted place: minstrels, ladies clad in silken green, ‘forests waste and wild,’ goodly companies of knights, flagons and decanters, Whitsun and evensong, holy groves and white harts.” @SketchesbyBoze

A Canadian man has pleaded guilty in Ontario to 14 charges of aiding suicide, linked to the online sale of lethal substances. Kenneth Law was accused of selling poison around the world, including to the UK - where prosecutors say 79 people died. He won't be extradited to Britain.

A group of Scottish women are suing makers of a contraceptive jab over claims they've been left with devastating, life-altering side effects. Pfizer says it rigorously monitors the safety of its medicines. UCB News reporter Lucy Baxter has the story.

👨🏻‍🦰📖📈  In Denmark, half of young adults under the age of thirty believe there is probably or definitely a God or higher power.

This new data comes from the God and the Danes: The 2026 Faith Analysis report published by the Danish Bible Society in spring 2026. The findings show a rare picture of this highly securalised northern European country.

“Almost two out of three young people aged between 16 and 30 say they are searching for a sense of meaning in life”, says the organisation after collecting the responses of 3,000 respondents in Denmark.

While almost 25% of 16–30-year-olds say that religion is important in their daily lives, the percentage drops to 13% and 11% among those over 61 and 45–60-year-olds respectively.

Young people are also more open to faith than the population as a whole. Nearly 49% of those aged 16–30 say that there is definitely or probably a God or higher power, compared to 39% of the rest of the population.

Help me understand why this is morally repugnant and legalised assisted suicide is apparently not.

[G. K. Chesterton @GKCdaily]

I believe what really happens in history is this: the old man is always wrong; and the young people are always wrong about what is wrong with him. While the old man may stand by some stupid custom, the young man attacks it with some theory that turns out to be equally stupid.

“Liberated,” they said.

Imagine an entire European town wiped off the map.

This is Bakhmut.

Once home to 70,000. More than two years under the “russkiy mir.”

Today — nothing but ruins.

russia doesn’t liberate cities. It erases them. Don’t pretend you don’t understand this.

Future people will look back on current discussions about LLMs being conscious in the same way that we look back on Victorians discussing whether the telephone could be used to contact the spirit world.

A regular editing bugbear of mine - so few writers understand this point.

[APStylebook @APStylebook]

When using an apostrophe to indicate a decade, it goes in front to replace the missing digits: the class of ’26, which means the same as the class of 2026.
There's no apostrophe before the s in a construction like the '20s.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

As evidenced by the unbridled promotion and implementation of technology at the expense of human dignity, we are truly experiencing an eclipse of the sense of what it means to be human. It is imperative to recover an understanding of the true meaning and grandeur of humanity as intended by God. It is in this sense that the challenge we currently face is not technological, but anthropological, and it is my hope that the Encyclical Letter to be published within a few days will contribute to answering this challenge.
