Pride month: Revelling in the queerness of nature

2 days ago | dtnext.in | Patricia Kaishian

This month we gather for Pride parades and parties that showcase our communities in all their vibrancy. And although I love all these things, I like to celebrate by going for a walk because nature is exuberantly queer. As attacks on queer rights have intensified, you might have noticed that a common critique is that queerness is “unnatural.” But it’s quite ordinary. June is a delightful time to recognise queer life, thanks to all the beautiful biological activity unfurling around us in these weeks.
Muddled east: Get ready for some post-war politics

2 days ago | dtnext.in | Thomas Friedman

I truly hope this Iran-Israel ceasefire holds and gets extended to the Gaza Strip, first and foremost to see an end to all the killing. But second, because I think this war will trigger in its aftermath much-needed debates in Iran, Israel and the Palestinian community. These debates won’t happen the morning the guns fall silent, when leaders from every country involved will try to claim some victory.
Shifting Focus: Starvation easy-fix problem; really?

1 week ago | dtnext.in | Nicholas Kristof

Middle East peace, climate change, Ukraine — if Sisyphus were assigned one of today’s global problems, he’d plead to be returned to rock rolling. So let’s focus for a moment on a global challenge that we can actually solve: starvation. I suspect that some Americans — perhaps including President Trump — want to slash humanitarian aid because they think problems like starvation are intractable. Absolutely wrong! We have nifty, elegant and cheap solutions to global hunger.

End game: Smart way for Trump to end Israel-Iran war

1 week ago | dtnext.in | Thomas Friedman

Behind the strikes and counterstrikes in the current Israel-Iran war stands the clash of two strategic doctrines, one animating Iran and the other animating Israel, that are both deeply flawed. President Donald Trump has a chance to correct both of them and to create the best opportunity for stabilising the Middle East in decades — if he is up to it.
Assisted suicide: Why the Euthanasia Slope Is Slippery

1 week ago | dtnext.in | Ross Douthat

Last Monday, the New York state legislature passed a bill, now sitting on Gov. Kathy Hochul’s desk, allowing assisted suicide for people facing a diagnosis that gives them six months or less to live.
Progressives need a global movement

2 weeks ago | dtnext.in | Michelle Goldberg

It’s a strange irony that in recent years the nationalist right has gotten much better at international organizing than the ostensibly cosmopolitan left. The Conservative Political Action Conference went global during Donald Trump’s first term; it held gatherings in Israel, South Korea, Hungary and Argentina, among other countries.
Go, get the vibe: Is Instagram the new celebrity dating app?

2 weeks ago | dtnext.in | Sadiba Hasan

As the official start to summer approaches, many singles are on the hunt for a romantic partner to spend the season with. Some may be on the prowl at parties or swiping through dating apps, others may be shooting their shot on Instagram. For celebrities in particular, Instagram has become an unexpectedly successful matchmaker, with a growing number of high-profile couples crediting their love stories to private messages sent on the app.
Materialists: Rating the ‘romantic value’ of single men

2 weeks ago | dtnext.in | Alisha Haridasani Gupta

Last week, for roughly 30 minutes, something unusual flicked across the tickers at the New York Stock Exchange. It wasn’t the rally of a newly public company or a market in turmoil. It was the rising and falling value of single men in the city. Or at least it was the purported value of single men, as determined by movie studio A24.
For whose sake: OpenAI making very cynical choice

2 weeks ago | dtnext.in | Vauhini Vara

Last spring, Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI, sat in the chancel of Harvard Memorial Church, sermonizing against advertising. “I will disclose, just as a personal bias, that I hate ads,” he began in his usual calm cadence, one sneakered foot crossed onto his lap.
