Dear readers,
U.S. President Joe Biden this week has been hastily lifting restrictions on the use of weapons sent to Ukraine, amid fears Donald Trump will reverse his administration's policy on the invaded country. He authorized long-range missiles to strike targets in Russian territory, approved the use of anti-personnel mines and is also accelerating the delivery of equipment to Kyiv.
Meanwhile, there is growing concern over Trump's latest Cabinet picks, specifically, Pete Hegseth, a Fox host accused of sexual assault, as Secretary of Defense, and anti-vaxxer Robert F. Kennedy as Health Secretary.
In other news, we looked at the story behind Portugal's Mafra Palace, the main setting for the 1994 movie ‘Queen Margot,’ spoke to DeepMind CEO
Demis Hassabis about the future of artificial generative intelligence, and talked to cartoonist Daniel Clowes, of 'Ghost World' fame, about why he is thinking of leaving the U.S.
