The Tennis TragicThe Tragedy WatchlistThe Tragic Three reconvene for the first time in a long time, to pay tribute to Milos Raonic (sort of), marvel at Roger Federer (yet again), and unveil the 2026 Tragedy Watchlist as we move into the first Major of the year down under. We discuss Matte's unfortunate withdrawal from the One Point Slam, Alex's United Cup experience in Sydney, and David's brief dalliance with a 125 in Austin. We share our enjoyment of the One Point Slam (despite its ridiculous length) and our disdain for the (new, pointless) Battle of the Sexes.

CinemafilePlan C for Civilization - Director Ben KalinaPLAN C for CIVILIZATION tackles one of the most controversial approaches to mitigating and possibly reversing the dire impacts of climate change. As emissions pour into the atmosphere and world leaders struggle for solutions to a climate emergency, the controversial climate-cooling technology called solar geo-engineering is entering the world’s stage. It’s an idea so powerful and full of uncertainty that even the proposal of research itself is seen as a dire risk by leading environmental activists and scientists. But for physicist David Keith, what matters is not what’s popular but what could help reduce the harms of a he...

Svobodná kultura je totiž v ohrožení. Příčinou či záminkou je odvolání ředitele Slovenského národního divadla Mateje Drličky a ředitelky Slovenské národní galerie Alexandry Kusé. Odvolala je ministryně kultury Martina Šimkovičová, jejíž osobnost, zdá se, je součástí problému: mám takovou hypotézu, že kdyby je odvolal nějaký jiný ministr, zdaleka by to takovou pozornost nevzbudilo – jenže ten by je asi neodvolal.Jde...
