For the family of Malak al-Hajoj, there is no corpse, report of an airstrike or record of arrest to offer any clue about how she vanished.
One day last December, the engineering student returned to the family home in the Bureij refugee camp to try to collect books and notes after she heard her university would resume online teaching. She was not heard from again.

Hope won in New York – together, we can do the same here in Britain
Zohran Mamdani's election victory in New York isn't just an American story - it's a global moment of hope. A beacon of light visible right across the Atlantic. A signal that bold, compassionate, people-powered politics can cut through cynicism and capture the imagination of a generation tired of being told that nothing can change.

Even if AI does help, don't get your hopes up about making the state more productive
The UK government employs more than 6 million people. Paying them will cost about £300bn this year. The total cost of providing public services - the NHS, prisons, the police, schools, the army, and so on - is more than double that. As taxes rise (again), voters might reasonably ask whether their money is being spent efficiently. To get a grip on that question, we need to measure what the government gets in return for all that spending, which means we need to measure what those 6 million public workers are producing. This is harder than it might sound.

Termite
We am a city. We have no concept of singularity. We have been living the city life for 120 million years; all other city-dwelling species are rank beginners, rough round the edges and rotten in the middle. Others species talk about the common cause; we live it. We are a common cause.
