India’s population overtakes China’s, but numbers mask a bigger story - "Sitting in the dry, April heat of north India, Malika said she never learned to read because her migrant worker parents moved the family to faraway Punjab. She never wanted her fourth child, Malika said, but became pregnant because she and her husband feared wearing condoms would give him tumors.
"'It’s very stressful to have so many children,' Malika said as Roza, her second child, clung to her leg, wailing for attention. 'What’s happened has happened. At least it was a son.'"

Discord member details how documents leaked from closed chat group: The online group that received hundreds of pages of classified material included foreigners, members tell The Post - "In a video seen by The Post, the man who the member said is OG stands at a shooting range, wearing safety glasses and ear coverings and holding a large rifle. He yells a series of racial and antisemitic slurs into the camera, then fires several rounds at a target.
...
"But OG had a dark view of the government. The young member said he spoke of the United States, and particularly law enforcement and the intelligence community, as a sinister force that sought to suppress its citizens and keep them in the dark. He ranted about 'government overreach.'
...
"It was not 'a fascist recruiting server,' he told The Post." [ed. note: when you don't know you're being redpilled]
'''Thousands of military personnel and government employees around OG’s age, working entry-to-low-level positions, could plausibly have access to classified documents like the ones he allegedly shared, according to U.S. officials and experts who have seen the documents reported in the media. Despite what his young followers thought, OG would have had no special knowledge compared with his peers. He possessed no special power to predict events. Rather, he appears to have persuaded some highly impressionable teenagers that he’s a modern-day gamer meets Jason Bourne.
...
"The member said he’s confident the authorities will find OG. But when they do, he won’t be charged. Instead, he believes, OG will be imprisoned without due process at Guantánamo Bay or disappeared to a 'black site,' if he’s not 'assassinated' for what he knows.
"The member, as well as the OG follower who corroborated his account, found no fault in their leader’s actions and instead said they blame the teen who posted the documents on the wow_mao server for wrecking their community."
America needs clean electricity. These states show how to do it. - "The biggest obstacle to building new nuclear plants is their cost. Construction on the last nuclear reactors built in the United States, at Georgia’s Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, is six years behind schedule, $14 billion over budget, and contributed to bankrupting Westinghouse. The debacle has become a cautionary tale to would-be nuclear developers."

Massive waves of squirrels once roamed America. No one knows why. - "Koprowski said a combination of factors could be at work in a squirrel exodus. One year’s bumper crop of seeds and nuts can produce a bumper crop of baby squirrels. If that’s followed by a sparse acorn year, squirrels may decide to leave in search of food."

Critics accuse trans swimming star Lia Thomas of having an unfair advantage.

The Real Warriors Behind ‘The Woman King’: A new film stars Viola Davis as the leader of the Agojie, the all-woman army of the African kingdom of Dahomey - "In truth, Ghezo only agreed to end Dahomey’s participation in the slave trade in 1852, after years of pressure by the British government, which had abolished slavery (for not wholly altruistic reasons) in its own colonies in 1833. Though Ghezo did at one point explore palm oil production as an alternative source of revenue, it proved far less lucrative, and the king soon resumed Dahomey’s participation in the slave trade."
The history wars target Dahomey: The slave-trading nation was not a feminist utopia - "And if the filmmakers had had the courage to tell the true story of Dahomey — a story in which bold, independent African women were sometimes just as cruel and exploitative as the most vicious Portuguese sea-captains — then it might have encouraged their viewers to move beyond the infantile goodies-and-baddies view of imperial history that’s become so common today."
PC fantasy or historically accurate? What World On Fire gets right – and wrong – about war - "Indeed, the contribution of ethnic minorities to the Allied War effort is a mine of drama probably not yet exploited. For example, the first female wireless operator in occupied Paris for Britain’s Special Operations Executive was Noor Inayat Khan, an Indian born in the Kremlin and raised in France. And the fact that she could live undercover in Paris demonstrates how such visible minorities were unremarkable there, as they largely were in cities such as London and Liverpool with global trading routes. And homosexuality had certainly been an accepted part of the Parisian arts scene for generations (hence Oscar Wilde’s self-imposed exile and death in France)."
