The lasting effects of Russia’s occupation of Chernobyl

"All our humanist views are relative. Under extreme conditions, a person essentially shows himself to be nothing like the characters they write about in books. The wheels of evil will keep turning even during the apocalypse. People will keep gossiping, kowtowing to their bosses, rescuing their TV sets and astrakhan coats.” - Svetlana Alexievich  …

France: a record-breaking end to Barnier's rule. Who will be next?

. In early September, Emmanuel Macron assigned the prime minister's portfolio to the experienced Barnier, and the latter unveiled the names of his ministers, drawn from the center and the right, at the end of the month. The new government was a minority one and immediately faced a vote of no confidence, as a result…

When sex hurts and your partner insists. Women with endometriosis say

. Where does women's aversion or even hatred of sex come from? When I asked if anyone would like to share their aversion to sex through agonizing efforts to get pregnant, or through endometriosis, adiposity or vulvodynia causing pain during intercourse, quite a few people came forward. In all the heroines I spoke with, however,…

Violence has no gender. Gender is with the perpetrator or perpetrator. And also the victim

. In August of this year, a girl was attacked in downtown Warsaw. A shirtless man followed her, accosted her, wanted her to go with him. She unequivocally refused. Finally, he threw her against the street and pulled her to her feet. She started screaming. None of the people in the cars reacted. City center,…

Markiewka: Since the state is just a bigger company, it will be best arranged by Trump with Elon Musk

. "Greed, for lack of a better word, is good." Gordon Gekko's words from the film Wall Street are one of the most recognizable quotes in cinema history, often taken as a synthesis of modern capitalism. However, this is not at all the most interesting part of his famous monologue. As Peter Bloom and Carl…

Sex workers in pursuit of the American dream [Majmurek on the film "Anora"].

. On paper, Anora looks like a recipe for cinematic disaster: An erotic dancer of Russian descent, working in a New York club, meets at work the young son of a Russian oligarch just beginning his adult life, who becomes her regular client. The business relationship becomes increasingly personal, and the couple gets married in…

Pro-Russian nationalist won first round of presidential elections in Romania

. Contrary to forecasts giving Călin Georgescu around 2 percent support, the politician won ten times as many votes, owing much to a social media offensive that gained momentum a few days before the vote. In extremely popular videos on TikTok, he called for a halt to aid to Ukraine and even questioned Romania's NATO…

Will generative AI undermine journalism?

https://youtu.be/SAznSdEmOyQ   What are we talking about when we refer to AI? Chat GPT? Deep fake pictures? Google’s Gemini?  According to Forbes there are 2 forms of AI, the first one being ‘narrow’ or ‘weak’ AI (sorry AI it’s not personal), that ‘focuses on performing a specific task intelligently’. Then we have generative AI that…

Court will stop Le Pen from running for president again?

. Looking back at Marine Le Pen's political career, one could argue that she has progressed in a rather unhurried but also unstoppable manner. From winning 18 percent of the vote in the 2012 presidential election, to succeeding in the European vote and reaching the second rounds twice in successive presidential campaigns, to breaking through…

Is Donald Russia’s trump card in Europe?

Two weeks after Moldova’s EU referendum passed with a narrow margin (50.35%), the pro-European presidential candidate Maia Sandu beat (55.35%) her Russophile opponent Alexandr Stoianoglo, and Donald Trump won the race to the White House. In the hours following these events, I stopped over a meme suggesting that Russia had let go of the small…

Ukraine chooses between plague and cholera [Kyiv correspondence].

. A thousand days since the outbreak of full-scale war, Kyiv is finding it hard to hide its fatigue. Workers at restaurants, pharmacies and stores have already taken generators out onto the streets - after Sunday's shelling, electricity began to run out. The whirr of diesel engines carries through the streets, as it does every…

Democracy, but not as we know it

Hybrid regimes, illiberal democracies, democraship, democratura: these are all slightly terrifying new terms for governments drifting towards authoritarianism around the globe. We have been used to seeing the world through the binary geopolitics of the more-or-less democratic free world on one side, and the straightforward dictatorship on the other. But what is Hungary under Viktor…

Coppola is a sexist grandpa who thinks about ancient Rome all the time [about "Megalopolis"].

. If Megalopolis itself had not turned out to be such a memically curmudgeonly film, what we would probably remember from it above all is the huge mishap accompanying its promotional campaign. Perhaps it says all that needs to be said about Francis Ford Coppola's most likely last picture. Recall: in August, the film's distributor,…

Cop29: climate leader or fossil regime?

The name Gubad Ibadoghlu may sound new to some readers, but it’s on him that the Azeri government is making a show of force against climate activists. Ibadoghlu, a senior visiting fellow at the London School of Economics, was severely beaten by police and arrested in 2023, after he criticised the country’s oil and gas…

Dark waters: the environmental cost of Russian oil

Back in February 2024 we discussed the "shadow fleet" of often decrepit and uninsured ships that transport sanctioned Russian oil through the Danish Strait: a "ticking environmental bomb that sails Danish waters every day", as Mads Lorenzen and Kresten Andersen wrote in Finans.  Now, as part of their ongoing North Sea Investigations, Follow The Money,…
