Iran threatens "immediate response" against ships using unauthorised Strait of Hormuz routes

Iran's armed forces command issued a warning to tankers and ships using unauthorised routes through the Strait of Hormuz, threatening an "immediate and decisive response." The warning comes as a reply to US declarations about ensuring freedom of navigation through the strategic waterway. Tensions in the strait are rising amid ongoing negotiations between Washington and Tehran.

Should the US militarily guarantee freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz?

"Emotional incest": when a parent makes a child their confidant

Dr Marta Majorczyk from SWPS University warns about "emotional incest" — a situation where a parent confides in their child about marital, financial or emotional problems. Over time, the child begins to feel responsible for the parent's wellbeing, leading to a role reversal in the family. The expert stresses that children should never be burdened with problems that belong to adult life.

Should parents completely avoid discussing their problems in front of children?

Philosophy belongs to everyone, not just academics, argues Zena Hitz

Philosopher Zena Hitz walked away from an elite academic career to spend three years washing dishes in a monastery. She argues that real philosophical thought belongs to taxi drivers, office clerks and prisoners — everyday people outside academia. In her view, intellectual life has nothing to do with degrees or institutional prestige.

Does genuine philosophical life exist outside of academia?

Unusual LIGO signal could link primordial black holes to dark matter

Unusual LIGO signal could link primordial black holes to dark matter

An unusual gravitational wave signal detected by LIGO has renewed hopes of discovering primordial black holes, which until now have remained purely theoretical. If confirmed, the finding could represent a major breakthrough in explaining the nature of dark matter. Primordial black holes would have formed shortly after the Big Bang and could account for a significant portion of the universe's dark matter.

Could primordial black holes be the answer to the dark matter mystery?

Hegseth planned further US troop cuts in Europe — Rubio stopped him

Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth intended to announce further cuts to US troop presence in Europe, but Secretary of State Marco Rubio intervened after reviewing the documentation, according to the Wall Street Journal. Hegseth ultimately announced only a review of troop deployments rather than specific reductions. The WSJ warns that further cuts remain a real possibility.

A walk after meals beats rest — doctor explains why

Sitting or lying down immediately after a meal triggers a so-called food coma — a feeling of sluggishness and drowsiness. A doctor recommends a short walk after eating to aid digestion and prevent these symptoms. Light movement stimulates intestinal activity and helps stabilise blood sugar levels.

Should you take a walk after every large meal?

The reduced market liquidity during public holidays raises the risk of sudden USD/JPY swings. Japan has previously intervened to prop up the yen when it weakened sharply.

Louis L'Amour's Sackett Series Should Be Hollywood's Next Western Franchise

With Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone universe losing steam, the author argues Hollywood should adapt the works of prolific pulp Western writer Louis L'Amour. The recommended starting point is "The Daybreakers," the first published novel in L'Amour's popular Sackett family saga. L'Amour wrote a vast catalogue of Westerns that have yet to receive a major TV adaptation.

The findings suggest Bronze Age sailors regularly crossed the Atlantic, challenging current views on how isolated these cultures were. The discovery could prompt a significant revision of European prehistoric history.
