As a culture reporter during wartime, sadly, I have to write a lot of obituaries. This one recounts the life of David Chichkan, committed anti-fascist artist who died defending Ukraine on the front line. My latest for @kyivindependent.com.

When people grieve a chatbot update, it’s not "just code." It’s the sudden loss of a mediated selfhood. The AI wasn’t just giving them answers, it was reflecting back a version of themselves they wanted to believe in.

Tiesitkö, että saat valittaa oikeuteen, jos kotikuntasi aikoo kaavoittaa lempisienimetsäsi tai haluaa nakertaa rannan ulkoilureittiä, jotta saa siihen luksusuasuntoja?
Mutta tiesitkö sitä, että kohta et enää saa?

Forcing Ukraine to hand territory to Russia in exchange for maybe getting some of its own land back—and a ceasefire that lasts 20 seconds—isn’t a change. It’s a reward for aggression.

Many academics, think tank analysts, and policy advisors are, in my experience, deeply reluctant to talk openly about Trump's lack of knowledge and understanding and his obvious competence problems. But we need to talk about them if we want to understand what's happening.

Finanssikriisistä lähtien kasvu on ollut riippuvaista kotimaisesta kysynnästä ja julkisista alijäämistä.
Siitä huolimatta hallitukset ovat jatkaneet leikkauspolitiikkaa viennin edistämiseksi, mikä on pitänyt tuottavuuden kasvun pysähdyksissä ja kärjistänyt luokkaeroja väestön sisällä.
