It was so crowded trying to get to the Knicks parade today I couldn’t even get OUT of the subway station for almost 30 minutes.

Most people overestimate the role of talent and underestimate the role of repetition. The people you call gifted have just done the same thing 10,000 more times than you have, and somewhere along the way, practice started looking like natural talent.

I have no use for people who think empathy is a weakness.

Their lack of empathy is a weakness.

It’s a deficit of humanity.

For nearly 80 years African leaders have dreamt, talked, planned, and officials have shown maps and Power Points of these Trans-African Highways. We are still waiting for them to come true. I am told we must continue believing and hoping.

Africans should be doing videos like this, and make it a form of protests. I love what this Ghanaian lady is doing.

Ghana didn’t sell slaves, Ghana didn’t exist then. Some locals were involved but much of it was driven by violence. Chiefs were threatened, killed or removed to force participation. Don’t rewrite history to dilute the scale and responsibility of the West's industrialized slavery

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets.

Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy.

Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.

I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.

It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.

May God bless America.

My best tip for anyone trying to get back into reading is to remember that you can read books to avoid other responsibilities in your life, and it can become a vice if you play your cards right.

For the next 48 hours, @ForeignPolicy will drop its paywall on all Iran coverage! Here are some of the biggest news stories you should read to understand the U.S.-Israel war against Iran. 1/8

Here's a megathread on the war on Iran that focuses on the deeper dynamics, potential trajectories, and likely outcomes.

A lot will change over the next few weeks - this thread is about what won't.

Stay until the end for an announcement & an invitation.

Today we celebrate Ghanaian foods. When people talk about West African food, the conversation often stops at jollof. Forget jollof!
Ghana’s cuisine goes far deeper.

Think waakye, a street food masterpiece that brings together rice, beans, gari, egg, kelewele, spaghetti, fish,meat and shito in one unforgettable plate. A true MVP.
Kenkey and fish. Banku and tilapia. Our soups! Atieke. Apapransa. Gari foto.
Ghanaian cooking is about patience, fermentation, spice, loads of flavors and balance.
Meals are not just eaten — they are shared.

At 69 years as a nation, our cuisine remains one of our most powerful cultural signatures.

NEW: The CIA has been working to arm Kurdish forces with the aim of fomenting a popular uprising in Iran, multiple people familiar with the plan told CNN.

Iranian Kurdish opposition forces are expected to take part in a ground operation in Western Iran in the coming days and they expect US and Israeli support, a senior Iranian Kurdish official told CNN.
