For much of the post-Cold War era, globalisation was presented not merely as a trajectory but as a universal pathway, one that would integrate economies, societies, and political systems into a shared, increasingly cooperative order. This narrative, however, was never neutral. It reflected a particular historical moment shaped by Western dominance, in which globalisation appeared as both an economic process and a normative project. It promised a future where interdependence would soften geopolitical rivalry and constrain the exercise of power. Today, that promise appears less like an inevitability and more like a historical assumption under strain. Rather than dissolving geopolitics,…

Rodriguez came out like a madman, furiously swinging in hopes of securing a quick finish against the former UFC fighter. Unfortunately for Rodriguez, that strategy did not pay off. As we approached the second stanza, Rodriguez appeared to be suffering from severe fatigue as Camozzi took over the contest. Near the one-minute mark of the third, the bout was paused after Camozzi appeared to throw an illegal shot while holding Rodriguez in a headlock. It was later determined that the punch…

A year after making major cuts to its workforce, the Department of Health and Human Services is on track to exceed its previous headcount. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. told members of the House Appropriations Committee that the department now has a headcount of 72,000 employees and plans to hire 12,000 new staff. Last year, HHS laid off 10,000 employees. Another 10,000 employees accepted the deferred resignation program or early retirement offers. After these cuts, the department shrank down to 62,000 total full-time employees. Kennedy said the department was ineffective in meeting its goals before the workforce reductions, and…

If you have ever felt strong in the gym but still ended up with nagging pain in your elbows, knees, or shoulders, you are not alone. Many athletes build muscle and strength faster than their tendons can adapt. This mismatch is one of the most common reasons for overuse injuries, plateaus, and frustrating setbacks. Your muscles respond quickly to training. Your nervous system adapts even faster. But tendons operate on a completely different timeline. Understanding why this happens can help you train smarter, stay pain free, and keep progressing long term. What Are Tendons and Why Do They Matter? Tendons…

Intel brought a few more chips home from Taiwan this week, with a new round of budget-oriented Core Series 3 processors fabbed right in the US-of-A. The chips are the latest on Intel 18A, a 2nm class process node the x86 maker began producing at its Hillsboro and Chandler wafer fabs late last summer. The return home comes after much of Intel’s client portfolio was outsourced to TSMC in 2024. The new chips are essentially a cut-down version of the Core Ultra Series 3 processors Intel launched at CES in January. The majority of the chips feature up to six…

A coalition of labor groups on Thursday sued the Federal Labor Relations Authority in an effort to block new regulations granting the agency’s political appointees control over union elections at federal agencies, arguing both that the agency robbed stakeholders of the opportunity to weigh in on the changes and that the measure would have the opposite effect from its stated aim.Since 1983, the handling of petitions for union elections and other petitions relating to the composition of bargaining units at federal agencies have primarily been handled by the FLRA’s regional directors and their staff—career employees—with a process by which parties…
