The AI-era press releases packed with buzzwords have heralded a new era of bureaucratic obfuscation. The press release tell you precious little about what a scheme intends to do.

In almost every kleptocratic country, there are brave muckrakers exposing the powerful and the corruption they would keep invisible.
Read interview with Stevan Dojčinović, the Serbian investigative journalist behind some of those exposes.

There are many things to critique about helicopter foreign correspondence. But I do think that a passionate and informed outsider can provide unique insight, which is why I love to read foreign correspondence about America, especially by writers from the global south.

बिहीबारदेखि करिब ३६ घण्टा भारी वर्षाको सम्भावना बढी छ। शुक्रबारदेखि कतै मेघगर्जन, चट्याङ, असिना र हावाहुरीको जोखिम पनि छ।

स्थान, समय र मात्रा फेरिन सक्छन्—ठ्याक्कै यति नै वर्षा हुन्छ भन्ने होइन।

दुई हप्तादेखिका मौसम अपडेट किसान र हिमाली यात्रीलाई तयारीको समय मिलोस् भनेर हुन्। अनावश्यक डर/चिन्ता दिएको भए क्षमा चाहन्छु।
बिहीबार साँझ–शनिबार बिहान लुम्बिनी देखि कोशीका धेरै जिल्लामा भारी वर्षाको सम्भावना छ। समय र स्थान फेरिन सक्छन्। आधिकारिक सूचना हेरौँ, सुरक्षित रहौँ। 🙏

Cultural practices in Nepal continue to carry caste and gender inequalities. The country needs approaches grounded in its own histories, social relationships, and ways of transmitting knowledge.

I may have missed it, but the last I heard, the PM was at Palanchok Bhagawati, then NPL yesterday. As a voter, I want to know his priorities when disaster survivors face an uncertain winter and severe weather looms this week.

I spent a week in Delhi, watching an extraordinary protest movement unfold. Here's what I saw, and what I think it means for India, and the world. nytimes.com/2026/10/26/opini…

Rest of World’s audience struggles are not unique. Media companies that previously largely produced written content have found themselves scrambling to adapt to a world dominated by short- and long-form video consumption. semafor.com/article/10/25/20…

Viral videos claiming that China has seized Indian territory in Arunachal Pradesh and that troops are engaged in border clashes have triggered alarm and anger online. We traced the footage to unrelated sources, including a 2023 military briefing and a video originally posted by a Kazakhstan-based account, exposing how old and AI-generated content is being presented as breaking news.

Treat Theories as Undergarments!
म सिद्धान्त विरोधी होइन । लोकतन्त्र, समाजवाद, पुँजीवाद, उदारवाद, फासिवाद, साम्यवाद आदि अवधारणाको अध्ययन गर्नुपर्छ भन्नेमा म पनि विश्वास गर्छु । यी अवधारणाले वर्तमानमा र विगतमा राज्य र नागरिकका सम्बन्ध र तिनमा आएका परिवर्तन बुझ्न सघाउँछन् ।
तर, राजनीतिक दलका नीति र कार्यक्रमका बारेमा कुरा हुँदा समाजवादी लोकतन्त्र, लोकतान्त्रिक समाजवाद, बजारवादी लोकतन्त्र, लोकतान्त्रिक बजारवाद भन्नेजस्ता बडेबडे अवधारणा वा सैद्धान्तिक धारमाथि बहस र विवाद गर्नु बेकारको बुद्धिविलासजस्तो लाग्छ ।
संसार हायेक र केन्द्रीकृत योजनाप्रति उनको वितृष्णाको डाइकोटमीको युग पार गरेर धेरै अगाडि बढिसकेको छ । यो सिद्धान्तको 'सिम्यान्टिक' लडाईंको समय होइन -ठोस समस्याको ठोस र प्रभावकारी समाधानको समय हो ।
एउटा राजनीतिक दलले आफ्नो नीति कस्तो हो भन्ने कुरा आम मानिसलाई बुझाउन जटिल सैद्धान्तिक शब्दावलीको साटो (उदाहरणका लागि) निम्न प्रश्नहरूको जवाफ दिए भइहाल्छ:
- जनतालाई स्वास्थ्य सेवा कसरी सुनिश्चित गरिनेछ ?
- भूमिको असमान वितरणको अवस्था कसरी अन्त गरिनेछ ?
- गुणस्तरीय तथा प्रभावकारी शिक्षा कसरी सुनिश्चित गरिनेछ ?
- सार्वजनिक यातायातलाई कसरी विकास र विस्तार गरिनेछ ?
- राज्य र निजी क्षेत्रको अन्तर्सम्बन्ध कस्तो रहनेछ ?
- जलवायु परिवर्तनका असरको सामना, वातावरण संरक्षण र वातावरणीय न्यायका लागि कस्तो नीति अपनाइने छ ?
- प्रेस स्वतन्त्रता, अभिव्यक्तिको स्वतन्त्रता, आवागमनको स्वतन्त्रताप्रतिको प्रतिबद्धता कस्तो छ ?
आदि ।
सिद्धान्त महत्त्वपूर्ण छैन भन्ने होइन । तर, यसलाई undergarments का रूपमा उपयोग गरौँ । भित्र के छ भन्ने सधैं सबैलाई देखाइरहन पर्दैन, न त undergarments हेर्ने चासो सबैलाई हुन्छ ।
कि कसो ?!

“Insiders cited broad industry-wide online traffic problems plaguing numerous online publishers, including Meta’s decision to deprioritize links to news articles and the rise of chatbots and AI summaries, which have decimated search traffic.”

In tonight's @semafor media newsletter: Rest of World is in talks with what one source described as "a series of larger institutions" about a merger. But staff have been warned that if founder Sophie Schmidt can't find someone to take on the org, it will shut down in January.

Did I miss something? A couple of months on from the Bhotekoshi flood (followed by other natural disasters) I haven’t seen Nepal’s government communicating to citizens about its short and long-term plans for affected individuals and communities. Surely these are in place, though?
