Every month, hundreds of millions of people visit Pinterest to search for new styles and ideas. One popular page called “the most ridiculous things” delivers strange inspiration. It shows Crocs reused as flower pots. It features cheeseburger-shaped eyeshadow. It even includes a gingerbread house built from vegetables. Most users do not realise the technology behind these suggestions is not always American. Pinterest now tests Chinese artificial intelligence models to improve its recommendation engine. The platform increasingly depends on this technology to guide shopping and discovery. Pinterest chief executive Bill Ready said the company has transformed the platform into an AI-powered…
Outrage Over Front-Line Claims The UK government has strongly rejected remarks by former US President Donald Trump suggesting NATO troops did not fight on the front lines in Afghanistan. In an interview with Fox News, Trump appeared unaware that 457 British soldiers lost their lives in the conflict following the September 11 attacks, claiming allied forces “stayed a little back, a little off the front lines.” British officials said the comments misrepresented the truth. According to official figures, 405 of the 457 UK casualties died in hostile action, highlighting the significant risk and sacrifice undertaken by British forces. NATO’s Response…
Japan is developing the L0 Series, a magnetic-levitation (maglev) train expected to reach speeds of up to 603.5 km/h, making it the fastest train ever built. The project is being led by Central Japan Railway Company and will run on the new Chuo-Shinkansen line. At those speeds, travel time between Tokyo and Nagoya would fall to about 40 minutes, with a future extension to Osaka cutting the Tokyo–Osaka journey to roughly one hour. For comparison, Europe’s fastest services such as France’s TGV or Italy’s Italo operate at around 300–350 km/h. The L0 Series achieves its speed through magnetic levitation, lifting…
TikTok has finalised a deal that secures the future of its short-video platform in the United States. The company confirmed the agreement on Thursday after years of political uncertainty. The deal ends a prolonged confrontation between Washington and Beijing. The dispute began during Donald Trump’s first presidency, when he tried to ban the app over national security concerns. US legislation threatened a shutdown in January 2025 unless ByteDance sold TikTok’s American operations. Trump later delayed enforcement several times after returning to office. The central issue involved TikTok’s recommendation algorithm. Under the agreement, American owners now license the technology. The system…
A study published in Social Science and Medicine warns that influencers linked to the online “manosphere” are persuading healthy young men to believe they have low testosterone and need testing or treatment. Researchers analysed 46 high-impact posts on TikTok and Instagram, finding that normal experiences such as fatigue, stress or changes in libido were often framed as medical problems. The lead author, Emma Grundtvig Gram of the University of Copenhagen, said this creates a sense of deficiency and fuels profitable markets for tests and supplements despite limited clinical benefit. Medical experts say routine testosterone screening is not recommended for asymptomatic…
Bilateral Talks, Not NATO Decisions Spain’s Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares has clarified that a recent security arrangement for Greenland negotiated between NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and US President Donald Trump is a bilateral matter, not a NATO-wide agreement. Speaking to Euronews on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Albares said: “This is a bilateral arrangement, not NATO. It is the Secretary General of NATO talking to one of the allies.” He added that details of the deal are still scarce and that all NATO allies will be briefed through the proper channels. “I talked to…
