Several incidents in the COVID pandemic’s first two years forced me to confront the uncomfortable reality that American society had cracked apart, fleeing the comfort and safety of accepted knowns to float untethered from logic in a foreign ether far from planet Earth. Welcome to Mars. But prior incidents had already trained and prepared my mind to expect a coming derangement. During the Persian Gulf War and the Northridge Earthquake, I had near-death experiences that lingered for years in memory, forever shaping my future actions. Just as scary as thinking I was about to die were the frightening behaviors I…

It’s been a rocky three days for the crypto market… to say the least. But bitcoin holders are faring best, as bitcoin price bounced back sharply to around $116,000 today following a volatile weekend that saw the broader crypto market slump.

President Trump walked back some of…

But, quite uncharacteristically, he referenced activating an “attacking mode” right from the start three times. That’s probably the biggest cue of what to expect from India when they face Singapore in a must-win game of the AFC Asian Cup 2027 final round qualifiers at the Nehru Stadium, Fatorda, on Tuesday. India drew 1-1 against Singapore with a last-gasp goal away last week. With five points between Jamil’s side and leaders Hong Kong in the group at…
