PlayStation dropping Blu-ray is bad for all gamers — even digital ones

Sony's decision to drop Blu-ray drives from PlayStation consoles is bad news for the entire gaming industry, argues the author — not just for fans of physical media. Without used game sales or resale options, Sony gains full control over distribution and pricing. Even players who prefer digital versions should oppose the move, as the resulting pricing monopoly will affect everyone.

Should Sony remove Blu-ray drives from PlayStation consoles?

Chrabota: Adding Bezruczko to Ukraine's National Pantheon is a step in the right direction

Bogusław Chrabota, editor-in-chief of "Rzeczpospolita", says the planned visit by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha to Warsaw and the inclusion of General Marek Bezruczko in Ukraine's National Pantheon are positive steps for Polish-Ukrainian relations. He notes that if Hetman Ivan Mazepa — a holder of the Order of the White Eagle — is also included, Poland should welcome it.

Should Poland support including Hetman Mazepa in Ukraine's National Pantheon?

Ken Burns on America at 250: polarisation is nothing new in US history

Documentary filmmaker Ken Burns, whose 12-hour series "The American Revolution" offers a nuanced, multi-perspective look at the nation's founding, argues that today's US polarisation is not unprecedented. He keeps a neon sign reading "It's complicated" in his editing room as a reminder of history's complexity.

Is today's US polarisation more dangerous than divisions in earlier American history?

Denim mini skirt in Kate Moss style returns for summer 2026 in "storm blue"

The denim mini skirt — straight or A-line cut — is a key summer 2026 trend, inspired by Kate Moss's 1990s style. The dominant shades are washed blue, navy and dark indigo, kept clean of heavy distressing and decorations. It pairs easily with both sneakers and sandals for minimalist, urban looks.

Neil, a 1,000 kg elephant seal, returns to Hobart every year and destroys traffic cones

Neil, a five-and-a-half-year-old southern elephant seal weighing 1,000 kg, returns every year to the beaches of Hobart, Australia, to moult. Elephant seals shed not just fur but the entire top layer of skin — a process called catastrophic moulting — causing intense itching that drives them to rub against hard objects, including traffic cones. Neil has become a beloved local mascot, but his urban wanderings pose a growing challenge for wildlife managers.

Should Hobart authorities restrict Neil's access to city streets for his own safety?

Tesla rebounds in Europe with price cuts in Q2

Tesla's European sales surged in the second quarter, driven by price cuts that helped the automaker recover lost ground. The rebound in Europe partially offset declining sales in the United States. The results suggest that aggressive pricing remains a key lever for Tesla in maintaining global demand.

Are price cuts the right long-term strategy for Tesla?

Samsung to bring Privacy Display to all four Galaxy S27 models

Samsung will reportedly equip all four Galaxy S27 models — S27, S27 Plus, S27 Pro and S27 Ultra — with its Privacy Display feature, according to industry sources cited by The Elec. The feature, which prevents bystanders from peeking at a user's screen, previously debuted exclusively on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. However, some S26 Ultra owners have reported eye strain and brightness problems when using the feature.

Is bringing Privacy Display to all Galaxy S27 models a good move by Samsung?

Pentagon creates "drone tsar" role to oversee all unmanned systems

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has signed a memorandum creating a new position called Direct Reporting Portfolio Manager for Unmanned Systems (DRPM-UxS). The role, already dubbed "drone tsar" or "autonomy tsar" by media, will oversee nearly all unmanned and autonomous systems programmes across the entire US Department of Defense. The move signals a push to centralise and accelerate America's drone and autonomous weapons strategy.

Will centralising drone oversight strengthen US military capabilities?

US hospitality jobs fell in June despite World Cup hosting hopes

Despite early signs of a jobs boom linked to the FIFA World Cup, US hospitality sector employment actually fell in June. The expected surge in hiring for the tourism and hospitality industry, which was expected to benefit most from the tournament, did not materialise. June's figures cast doubt on optimistic forecasts about the World Cup's economic impact.

Does hosting the World Cup deliver real job growth in the hospitality sector?

FDA recalls 650,000 bags of Zapp's and Dirty chips over salmonella risk

The US Food and Drug Administration has upgraded a recall of approximately 650,000 bags of Zapp's and Dirty brand potato chips by manufacturer Utz to its most serious level due to salmonella contamination risk. The contamination stems from dry milk powder sourced from a third-party supplier used in a seasoning ingredient. Utz had initially issued a voluntary recall in May.

Should the FDA have upgraded the recall alert sooner than May?

GTA 6 gameplay footage likely coming soon, based on Rockstar's past releases

Grand Theft Auto 6 is scheduled to launch in roughly five months, yet Rockstar Games has so far released only two trailers, screenshots and box art — with no actual gameplay footage shown. The game carries an $80 price tag. Based on Rockstar's promotional patterns for previous titles, observers expect gameplay footage to emerge in the near future.

Should Rockstar have already shown GTA 6 gameplay footage?

Dan Carlin: America's shared reality is collapsing in real time

Historian and podcaster Dan Carlin, speaking with Kmele Foster, analyses signs of societal collapse in the United States, drawing a parallel between today's information flood and the photocopied flyers on windshields of the 1980s. He argues the US Constitution was designed to prevent tyranny rather than ensure efficiency, and that Congress has ceded too much executive power by refusing to formally declare war for decades. Carlin believes the erosion of shared factual reality is making civilised public discourse increasingly impossible.

Has the United States lost its shared informational reality?

Historian Peter Frankopan: Wrong Historical Analogies Lead Us Astray

Oxford historian Peter Frankopan, author of the bestselling "The Silk Roads: A New History of the World", warns that the West is making dangerous errors by drawing on the wrong historical analogies. He argues these false comparisons lead to deeply flawed conclusions, some of which have already come true. Frankopan warns that without a change in perspective, Western civilisation risks becoming a historical relic.

Is the West dangerously misreading history by using the wrong analogies?
