The post-West, multipolar moment has arrived, accelerated by Trump tariffs that have clearly backfired. This is noting short of an economic and geopolitical miracle. Parallel dynamics were outlined in our book Digital Sovereignty in the BRICS Countries is.gd/VETALO

Another great graduation ceremony at UNC Charlotte! Go Niners! Now back to more grading!

An NYU professor AI-proofed his assignments. The students complained they were too hard and that “he was interfering with their ‘learning styles.’”
