Why the U.S. Revoked Bob Vylan’s Visas: Music, Protest, and the Politics of Expression
In the ever-evolving intersection of music, activism, and politics, few stories highlight the fragile boundary between free expression and international diplomacy as sharply as the recent visa revocation of British punk-rap duo Bob Vylan by the United States. This unprecedented move has not only sparked outrage in artistic communities but also opened a broader conversation on the role of protest in music, the consequences of political speech, and how international artists are treated when they challenge dominant narratives.

What I Learned Growing Up in a Cult. Top Story - June 2025.
Earlier this week I was talking to a coworker about life. After a while, we somehow got on the subject of religion. I had to explain that I have an aversion to most organized forms of religion, having been raised in a church that at the time was very cult-like, and later after a split, the faction that stayed with the original leader went full cult. But that begs the question.

Johnny Ball on Cancel Culture.. Content Warning.
Johnny Ball was a TV presenter in the UK in the 1970s and 80s. If you are British and grew up in those times, you will remember this beloved national treasure of Britain. I remember Ball presenting a programme as a kid. It was called "Think of a Number" and it was all about how simple maths connected to things you would never think it did. He made maths interesting and fun for kids. As a kid, I hated maths, and I still do. However, Mr. Ball made maths fun and taught it in a way that resonated with me. And no doubt, all kids from that time who hated the thought of maths wished they had a teacher like him. I remember my teacher at school in my later years before leaving school at 16. A horrible man with black hair, a black beard and glasses (maybe that's why I have a phobia of people with beards and glasses today). When I used to nod in reply to him, he said, "You look like one of those blaady toy dogs in the back of a car that nods its head as the car goes along"!

New Leader with New Plans for Africa: Ibrahim Traoré
In the heart of West Africa, a quiet revolution is gaining momentum — not through riots or hashtags, but through the determined will of a 36-year-old military captain turned head of state: Ibrahim Traoré, the interim president of Burkina Faso. At an age when most world leaders are barely entering politics, Traoré has emerged as a powerful symbol of sovereignty, anti-colonialism, and youth-driven change. His refusal to accept a loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), his unapologetically skeptical stance toward Western involvement in Africa, and his fierce commitment to African independence have made him not only a hero to many Africans but a subject of concern in Western diplomatic circles. But what makes Ibrahim Traoré so fearless — and why is he capturing the imagination of an entire continent?
