Having spent several months living and working in Chiang Mai, I grew to love the coffee shop vibe and preferred to go to the best coffee shops…
Early on in one of Fallout’s many flashbacks to the late 21st century, actor Cooper Howard (Walton Goggins) worries about the ending of a Western movie he’s shooting. Why would his character, a law-abiding sheriff, choose to shoot an outlaw dead instead of just arresting him? “It’s a new kind of Western,” his director explains. SEE ALSO: How to watch ‘Fallout’: When is the video game adaptation streaming? Fallout, based on Bethesda’s best-selling video game franchise, takes these words to heart. In the show’s very first scene, a cowboy-suited Cooper desperately rides his horse away from the billowing mushroom clouds…
Cape Town, South Africa – In the backyard of a small house in Cape Town’s Mitchells Plain stands a one-room corrugated iron structure. Inside, Cheryl-Ann Smith, her husband and three grandsons have made a home. They are among thousands of so-called “backyard dwellers” in this impoverished area locals call Lost City. Here, residents often sublet part of their small plots to others who are even less well-off than they are, creating invisible households without access to basic services like electricity and sanitation. In the Smiths’ single-room dwelling, there is barely enough space for their two beds, a makeshift cupboard with…
Palácio do Planalto from Brasilia, Brasil, CC BY 2.0 By Tilak K. Doshi for RealClearPolitics On March 28, President Mohamed Irfaan Ali of the South American country of Guyana became an instant hero to many as he refused to take lectures on climate change from a BBC reporter during an interview. In a two-minute video clip that went viral on X (formerly Twitter) and other social media, President Ali turned the tables on the BBC’s Stephen Sackur when the reporter accused Guyana of worsening the “climate crisis” by allowing the exploitation of its newly found oil and gas reserves. “Over the next…
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida began a much-anticipated visit to Washington on Tuesday that spotlights shared concerns about provocative Chinese military action in the Pacific and at a rare moment of public difference between the two nations over a Japanese company’s plan to buy an iconic U.S. company. Kishida and his wife stopped by the White House Tuesday evening ahead of Wednesday’s official visit and formal state dinner as President Joe Biden looks to celebrate a decades-long ally he sees as the cornerstone of his Indo-Pacific policy. Kishida will be the fifth world leader honored by Biden with a state dinner since he took office…

In the wake of 9/11, US president George W. Bush authorized the National Security Agency (NSA) to eavesdrop on Americans without court-approved warrants as part of the hunt for evidence of terrorist activity. A federal judge ruled the collection unconstitutional in 2006, as part of a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union. (An appeals court later overturned the ruling without challenging the case’s merits.) Rather than end the surveillance, Congress codified the program as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), granting itself some authority to enforce procedures ostensibly designed to limit the program’s impact on…
We periodically get a question from readers: “Which points or miles should I collect if I don’t travel often?” No single answer is best for everyone. For example, a cash-back rewards card might be best if you don’t travel much at all. However, if you have a particular airline or hotel loyalty program you strongly prefer, that will need to be considered. For ease, I’ll assume you want to earn points and miles instead of cash-back rewards. With this assumption out of the way, let’s dive into some topics to help you decide which points and miles to collect. Benefits…
Apple Inc. is upgrading its presence in the Miami area, following other Big Tech companies in setting up outposts or expanding in South Florida.
