The U.S.-Backed Dictator Who Carried Out Two of the Worst Atrocities of the Last Century
The article discusses the dark legacy of U.S. foreign policy, particularly regarding the support of Indonesian dictator Suharto, who committed horrific atrocities in the 1960s and during the invasion of East Timor in 1975. Following a failed coup, Suharto led a campaign that resulted in the deaths of between 500,000 and a million people, targeting those with any perceived leftist ties. Eyewitness accounts reveal gruesome methods of execution and torture, often without any due process. The second wave of atrocities occurred during the invasion of East Timor, where U.S. military support and weapons facilitated a brutal campaign that killed an estimated 90,800 to 202,600 people—up to a third of the population. The Chega! report details systematic human rights violations, including mass killings, torture, and famine, all orchestrated by the Indonesian government with U.S. backing. The article underscores the complicity of American officials in these crimes, revealing a troubling chapter in the history of U.S. foreign intervention.

The Border Was Supposed to Be the Boring Part
A recent trip across the Moldovan-Ukrainian border turned unexpectedly tense when Russian missiles struck nearby, leaving passengers on edge. As they crossed, a young girl anxiously sought reassurance, while an elderly woman prayed fervently, reflecting the uncertainty that hung in the air. Even after clearing passport control, the bus continued into the unknown, with everyone grappling with their fate. Traveling to Ukraine has always been a complex journey, often requiring multiple legs and unpredictable delays. With the airspace closed to civilian flights, the border used to symbolize a transition, a moment of relief. But now, that sense of safety has been shattered by ongoing conflict. Passengers, once trusting in the reliability of trains and buses, now face a reality where evacuation can happen in an instant, transforming the ordinary into a precarious situation.

A Book for the Day After Your War
In the English countryside, a journalist reflects on the weight of war after years of reporting from Ukraine. Seeking solace away from London’s noise, he finds himself in Yorkshire, where the tranquility of the countryside offers a brief respite. Staying above a pub, he reads J.L. Carr’s novel, *A Month in the Country*, which resonates with his own struggles but ultimately leaves him feeling unfulfilled. The protagonist, Tom Birkin, emerges from war but fails to confront his trauma, a reminder of the importance of processing experiences rather than glossing over them. During his stay, he connects with locals and shares insights about war, emphasizing the need to cherish happy moments as they come, rather than waiting for future joys that may never return. This lesson, shared in a pub, highlights the importance of living in the present and acknowledging the complexities of trauma. The journalist’s journey through Yorkshire becomes not just a retreat, but a moment of clarity, urging him to face the realities of his experiences and those of others.

The Internet of AI: Why TAO Might Be the Most Important Token You’re Sleeping On
Hey there! So, TAO, the token for Bittensor, is really starting to catch some buzz. It’s currently capped at 21 million, mimicking Bitcoin’s supply. The network operates like a marketplace for AI models, rewarding those that perform well. Instead of a central authority, it uses a unique algorithm called Yuma Consensus to score outputs and distribute rewards. There are over 120 active subnets, each focusing on different tasks like trading signals or drug discovery. You can buy TAO on major exchanges like Kraken, and if you're feeling adventurous, you can dive into specific subnet tokens for more targeted exposure. Just remember, it’s all about understanding which subnets might have long-term potential. For listeners who want low-fee crypto exposure, our markets partner Kraken supports TAO — link in show notes.

Canada captain still loses sleep over final loss to England
It's been almost a year since Canada lost the Women's Rugby World Cup final to England, and the sting still lingers for captain Sophie de Goede. She admits that four to five nights a week, she struggles to sleep, replaying that final in her mind. This Saturday, Canada faces England again at Sandy Park in Exeter, but head coach Kevin Rouet is downplaying any talk of revenge. He emphasizes that the focus should be on future tournaments, particularly the 2029 World Cup. In the lead-up to this match, England will also play New Zealand and have two more tests against Canada in Toronto and Ottawa. Red Roses head coach John Mitchell views these games as an important test for his squad, calling them an "audition" for the upcoming World Cup. He believes that facing pressure will reveal how much his players care about the game. There are still misconceptions about the Canadian women's team. While they are professional athletes, their contracts don’t match the level of England's players. Canada has found a way to develop talent through England's domestic PWR league, with 25 Canadians currently playing in it. De Goede humorously notes that they’re not there to spy; they just lack a strong league back home. Mitchell has been advocating for more game time for English players in the PWR, arguing that players who log 1,000 minutes a season have a better chance of making the national team. The RFU has confirmed that the current requirements for matchday squads will stay the same, but changes are coming that could impact how teams manage their rosters and player status moving forward.

Sleep Training: The Last Shred of Popular Behaviorism?
The article reflects on the contrasting approaches parents take toward sleep training compared to other parenting practices, like potty training. The author shares their personal experience of potty training their daughter, which prompts them to question why sleep is often treated with more rigidity and pressure. They point out that while potty training is generally seen as a gradual process that requires patience and understanding, sleep training can sometimes feel more like a strict regimen. The author suggests that this difference might stem from cultural beliefs around sleep, which often emphasize independence and self-sufficiency in children. They argue that this perspective can create stress for both parents and children, leading to a more behaviorist approach to sleep that may not always align with the nurturing, supportive strategies used in other areas of parenting. Ultimately, the piece invites readers to reconsider their views on sleep training and to reflect on the emotional and developmental needs of children. It encourages a more compassionate approach, similar to what is often applied in other aspects of parenting, suggesting that perhaps a balance between structure and understanding could lead to better outcomes for families.
