The EU just proposed rules targeting dark patterns and addictive design. Meanwhile, platforms compete for our attention while we’re told to stop chasing validation.

Fei Lee doesn’t walk. She just casually speedruns the planet.
One look at that gait and you already know the Earth is about to complete a full lap. Body and movement so locked in that gravity basically clocked out for the day.
At this rate she’s not going home. She’s just completing her daily world tour on foot.
How many times would you have to rewatch this before you also start walking like the planet is optional?

South Korea just said the quiet part out loud: sanctions on Russia are hurting its own companies.
A ruling-party lawmaker pointed to Hanwha Ocean’s ice-class LNG carriers built for Russia’s Arctic LNG-2 project. The ships are finished but stranded because of sanctions, and Moscow is now seeking roughly $1 billion in damages.
Meanwhile, Korean exports to Russia have already dropped from about $10 billion in 2021 to $4 billion last year. Shipbuilders, automakers, and electronics firms have absorbed real losses.
Allies pay the price for sanctions too. The question is whether the economic damage to partners eventually outweighs the intended pressure on the target.
Do you think countries will keep supporting sanctions when the bill keeps landing on their own industries?
