To get in touch with the Real America, I'm here at a diner in rural Ohio on journalistic assignment with The New Yorker. Next to me is an alienated, hard-working woman on assignment from the Atlantic and a crusty father of 4 on assignment from Harper's.

In a world at cross-currents, trust is our anchor, and cooperation is our choice. At the opening of the World Investment Forum 2026 in Doha, I reflected on a defining paradox of our time: we are more interconnected than ever, yet increasingly divided in our ability to agree on the rules that govern our shared future. The answer is to strengthen the partnerships and institutions that turn interdependence into an engine for peace and shared prosperity. Multipolarity is a fact. Multilateralism is a choice. And the future depends on the choices we make together. #WIF2026 #newUN

I love that extra clocks were put on old churches in #Malta to confuse the devil about the times of services!

Dear friends, during some recent medical examinations, the doctors found a small, localized nodule in my lung. It was detected at a very early stage and is well-localized. The doctors believe that it is best to intervene, so, following their advice, I have decided to undergo surgery to remove it. The operation is already scheduled to take place in the coming days. I thank you for your spiritual closeness and entrust myself to your prayers.

As frontier models advance, the gulf between what they do and what they say they do is growing, writes Christopher @Mims. That means losing a critical tool for monitoring rogue AI. wsj.com/tech/ai/ai-monitorin… via @WSJ
