When Donald Trump set about dismantling USAID, many around the world were shocked. But on the ground in Sierra Leone, the latest betrayal was not unexpectedEarlier this year, Donald Trump appointed a 28-year-old Doge alumnus, Jeremy Lewin, to oversee his administration's approach to global aid. Lewin's primary task has been to gut the US's aid funding. In an interview with the New York Times, Lewin argued that the traditional approach, which he termed the global humanitarian complex", didn't help poor countries progress beyond aid", instead keeping them dependent. The system, he continued, has demonstrably failed".This isn't just the Trump administration's view. For decades, there has been a robust debate in academic and policy circles, discussed over drinks by development practitioners, written about by critical economists and postcolonial independence leaders, and percolating into the broader consciousness, that aid isn't working, or at least not as promised. When the news of Trump's USAID cuts broke this year, President Hakainde Hichilema of Zambia told the Financial Times that cuts in aid were long overdue" and would force countries such as his to take care of our own affairs".

Rules seem unlikely to help - kids will just rebel. Instead, try saying it all the time yourselfDon't tell your kids, but 6-7" is Dictionary.com's word of the year" for 2025. Of course, 6-7" is not a word in the strictest sense. It's two random numbers strung together for the purposes of annoying parents around the world. What does it mean? Nothing. When can it be used? Pretty much whenever you want to piss off an old person. Such is the state of global linguistics. Having a purpose or meaning to what you're articulating is cringe. The point is to troll, to frustrate, and to alienate. Isn't that the whole reason the internet exists? To organize us into factions - the smartened up and the hapless?For the childless among us, 6-7" is just online gibberish that is easily ignored - the password into a nightclub you don't want to actually enter. For people like me with a Gen Alpha boy obsessed with belonging, 6-7" is something like the Rosetta Stone for having even a passing verbal interaction with your spawn. About a month ago, my son started saying 6-7" at any lull in conversation. He'd start asking for the thermostat in our car to be turned down to 67 degrees even if it was 62 degrees outside. For his eighth birthday, I bought him a personalized Dodgers jersey with his name on the back. The number he chose was 67. I purchased a size big enough for him to grow into, but the rest of the jersey will probably age like an apple on the side of the freeway. Why did I pick this number again?" he'll ask in three years. Because your brain wasn't developed enough," I'll respond.Dave Schilling is a Los Angeles-based writer and humorist Continue reading...

One baseball win was never going to bind Canada - and sympathetic fans south of the border - together for ever. But it was sweet while it lastedThe first time the Blue Jays won a World Series, in 1992, the team's victory parade was held on the same day as a contentious national referendum. At play that day was a suite of potential constitutional changes that had Canadians, living through a period of economic strain, regional tension, and a growing distrust of political elites, questioning what kind of country they were living in. The referendum failed and paved the way for another, three years later, in 1995, that almost saw Quebec leave Canada altogether. Following the win, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney congratulated the Jays noting that, beyond it being a historic victory" the team's playoff run united a nation behind you, capturing the imagination of Canadians from coast to coast." It was something Canada needed.This time there was no parade. The Jays lost 5-4 to the LA Dodgers in the early hours of Sunday in a heartbreaking Game 7, missing out on their first World Series title in 32 years. Continue reading...
Buffalo extended their regular season domination over Kansas City. But they know that the playoffs are another matter altogetherOf course Josh Allen didn't take a breath in the final seconds of the latest Chiefs-Bills classic. You never know with Pat [Mahomes]," Allen told reporters after Buffalo eked out a 28-21 win on Sunday. Bills kicker Matt Prater had earlier missed a 52-yard field goal with 27 seconds remaining that would have sealed the win for Buffalo. Even the miss was dramatic, with Prater doinking his kick off the right upright. Allen wasn't alone in thinking Mahomes could lead the Chiefs 58 yards down the field with 22 seconds left and no time outs. One Chiefs fan in Buffalo certainly reminded the home crowd of Buffalo's 2021 divisional round collapse in which Mahomes hit Tyreek Hill and then Travis Kelce with 13 seconds remaining to set up a game-tying field goal and eventual overtime win.Are these two teams capable of a producing a boring contest when they meet? Sunday had looked like it would go down that route, given the statement made by Buffalo's defense, before the Chiefs threatened a comeback in the fourth quarter. The Bills had responded to questions about their depleted defense by stymying Mahomes for most of the game. This sandwich sack by Greg Rousseau and Michael Hoecht showed the tenacity of Buffalo's defensive line. They needed it: Mahomes converted on fourth and 17 at the beginning of the fourth quarter, a reminder that no matter the situation, he is always capable of tormenting the Bills. Continue reading...
The dominant jumps racing trainer has another huge Flat prize in sight after Ethical Diamond's sparkling successIf five wins from the seven turf events, one short of the record, felt like a standard return for European runners at the 2025 Breeders' Cup at Del Mar, then the identity of the biggest winner of all was a huge, and very refreshing, surprise.Willie Mullins blew into Del Mar with Ethical Diamond, his first ever runner at the meeting, and left with the $2m first prize in the Turf, nearly five times as much as he banked when Nick Rockett landed the Grand National in April. And the style of his win was equally memorable. Punters who backed the proven Group One form of Minnie Hauk and Rebel's Romance might beg to differ, but it gladdened the heart to see an Ebor Handicap winner leave the pair of them standing with a stretch run for the ages.
