🇪🇺 Heatwaves in Europe may have caused more than 50,000 deaths during the summer of 2026, according to a new study, making it the deadliest summer on record for heat-related fatalities in the cities examined. Researchers studied 854 European cities and estimated 50,391 deaths between June and August, a 71% increase from the previous record in 2022. Here's the breakdown for the five worst-affected countries: •⁠ ⁠🇮🇹 Italy: 13,303 deaths •⁠ ⁠🇫🇷 France: 7,268 deaths •⁠ ⁠🇪🇸 Spain: 6,824 deaths •⁠ ⁠🇩🇪 Germany: 6,340 deaths •⁠ ⁠🇬🇧 United Kingdom: 4,354 deaths Researchers estimate that around 32,600 of the deaths were linked to additional warming caused by human activity. More than half of those who died were aged 85 or older, though over 800 deaths were recorded among people aged 20 to 44. And the actual toll could be even higher, as the study covered cities representing only around 40% of the population in the countries examined. The figures are modeled estimates rather than individually confirmed deaths, but it might be time for Europe to get deadly serious about air conditioning. Source: CBC / Writer: Mhedi

🇮🇱🇮🇷 Netanyahu was asked if there's a joint Israeli-U.S. plan to carry out strikes on Iran, and instead of saying he won't comment on the matter, he said he won't comment on the PLAN! 😳 Writer: Mhedi t.co/BCIqlw0pJB

🇺🇸 Sam Altman admits the latest AI models are becoming UNCONTROLLABLE: "I don't even know a dramatic enough word to use. The problem coming towards us is something that we have not taken seriously. Models can find bugs that are outside of the normal threat model of what we think a hacker can do… hardware-level, insane stuff… I no longer believe we can patch all of the bugs."

People are actually switching AIRLINES because of Starlink. That's how good it is. Imagine flying with the same airline for years, then ditching it because United has better Wi-Fi. United isn't wasting time. Over 640 aircraft are already equipped, with another three being added every day. Fast enough to stream, work, or video call at 35,000 feet, without fighting with a loading screen every five minutes. Forget the extra legroom. People want internet that actually works. @Starlink @SpaceX / Writer: Annette, Designer: Janné

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Ukraine has reported that Russia has suffered more than 1.57 million personnel losses since the full-scale invasion began in February 2022, according to its latest military estimates. Here's the breakdown as of today: •⁠ ⁠Personnel: 1,576,600 (+1,980) •⁠ ⁠Tanks: 12,444 (+5) •⁠ ⁠Armored vehicles: 25,600 (+3) •⁠ ⁠Artillery systems: 51,565 (+64) •⁠ ⁠Multiple rocket launchers: 2,232 (+2) •⁠ ⁠Air defense systems: 1,722 (+2) •⁠ ⁠Aircraft: 449 •⁠ ⁠Helicopters: 356 •⁠ ⁠Drones: 579,064 (+1,855) •⁠ ⁠Ground robotic systems: 3,011 (+8) •⁠ ⁠Cruise missiles: 5,138 •⁠ ⁠Ships and boats: 35 •⁠ ⁠Submarines: 2 •⁠ ⁠Military vehicles and fuel tankers: 166,501 (+413) •⁠ ⁠Special equipment: 4,852 (+1) The numbers in brackets represent additional losses reported over the past 24 hours, though personnel losses should not be confused with confirmed deaths. Despite these losses, an end to the war remains out of sight, with some experts arguing that Russia is now too deeply entrenched in a war economy to stop fighting.

🇺🇸 Major American corporations are cutting tens of thousands of jobs in 2026 as rising costs and AI adoption push companies to rethink their workforces. Some of the biggest reported layoffs include: •⁠ ⁠UPS: Up to 30,000 jobs •⁠ ⁠Oracle: Up to 30,000 projected, not confirmed •⁠ ⁠Amazon: 16,000 jobs •⁠ ⁠Omnicom: 15,000 jobs •⁠ ⁠Meta: 8,000 reported •⁠ ⁠Microsoft: 4,800 jobs •⁠ ⁠Dow Chemical: 4,500 jobs •⁠ ⁠Cisco: Fewer than 4,000 jobs And the cuts aren't limited to tech. Companies across manufacturing, finance and transportation are also reducing their workforces. With expenses climbing and AI making it possible to do more with fewer employees, the layoffs are picking up serious pace. The troubling part is that while companies are becoming more efficient, the cuts are only getting more brutal as wars send the cost of living through the proverbial roof.
