Beneath carefully orchestrated visibility lies a silent erosion of rights—a strategic, subtle dismantling of the hard-won victories the LGBTQ+ community fought decades to achieve. Visibility, it turns out, is no guarantee of equality.
Not too long ago, Russia was sort of playing nice with the world. It was in Eurovision, hosting international sports events, and even participating in global diplomacy. Western leaders met with Putin, businesses invested in Russia, and despite its flaws, it was still engaging with the broader world. Now, Russia is a pariah state, its…
For years, far-right parties have painted themselves as the ultimate defenders of morality, claiming to stand for “family values,” “traditional ethics,” and “law and order.” They scream about the supposed decline of Western civilization, blaming minorities, LGBTQ+ people, feminists, and immigrants for all of society’s ills.

AI was supposed to make work easier for everyone, providing low-skilled workers with the same tools as high-level experts. Everyone would have access to powerful intelligence, making success more about ideas and less about privilege.
Introduction: More Than Just a Machine I’ve been working with AI for a while now, and if there’s one thing I’ve realized, it’s this: AI is more than just a tool. Most people think of artificial intelligence as a glorified search engine—something to fetch information, answer emails, or automate tedious tasks. And yes, it can…
For years, companies have told us that work is about results. That output matters more than where you work. But now? They’re flipping the script. Suddenly, physically being in an office is a “performance metric.” Let’s be clear: this is not about collaboration. This is not about productivity. This is about control. The Real Reasons…
We like to pretend we’re living in the most free-thinking, enlightened, open-minded era ever. You can say what you want, read what you want, believe what you want. Right?
