Should a Canadian Write about London?
Dear London, I owe you an apology. I think I had better explain myself. I was sent to visit relatives there in the summer of 1988. I was fourteen and a serious pain in the neck, but I was in good company. I remember that from the ride from airport to the flat that I would be staying in, I heard nothing but complaints. My very West Indian relatives pointed out how difficult it was to get ahead due to their race and class, even pointing out different buildings and places where they recalled insults and proved that they had a point. Later that same night, the relative I was staying with would get into a shouting match with a drunk in the street who was slapping a woman around (fortunately, this was from a balcony several stories up in the East End). Plaistow had its charms.

The Art of Automation: How AI Is Quietly Replacing Creativity with Code
When machines start making art, what happens to the artists who taught them? A few years ago, “artificial intelligence” was a buzzword — something futuristic, fascinating, but distant. Today, it’s everywhere. It edits our photos, writes our headlines, paints our portraits, and even suggests how we should feel about the world. For many of us, that shift happened so smoothly we didn’t even notice it.

And considering I didn't have a job, didn't know many people, and then with the world shutting down…well, let's just say I had a lot of time to start figuring out what that was.

By:Tuhin Sarwar A Crisis Born of Accountability The political earthquake that toppled Sheikh Hasina’s government in August 2024—the culmination of the student-led ‘Monsoon Revolution’—was universally celebrated as a victory for justice.
