A few months ago, I wrote that the telephoto camera is the only lens that matters any more, at least when it comes to Ultra-class flagships. As phones got better, cameras became where manufacturers tried to stand out. As cameras got better, telephoto lenses became the next point of focus. The most recent Ultra phones from Xiaomi, Oppo, and Huawei have all made the telephoto, above all, their selling point. Vivo’s X300 Ultra is doing something different.Instead of pushing its telephoto hardware to further extremes, Vivo has mostly left it be. The company has focused its efforts on a significantly…

Since the start of the year, the US has cut off oil shipments to Cuba as a strategy to squeeze the island country’s economy into submission and overthrow the communist government. In January, President Donald Trump signed an executive order imposing tariffs on countries selling oil to the island; a move experts regard as coercive economic pressure or “bully diplomacy” designed to isolate Cuba and deepen its domestic crises. Three months later, the result is a growing humanitarian crisis and worsening economic instability. Cubans now face daily blackouts that can last longer than 16 hours; bus stops are empty; families…

The Trinity of State Decay is the decoupling of a state into rival sovereignties: the Institutional Mirage, which performs authority without fully possessing it, and the Shadow Order — or competing Shadow Orders — which exercises de facto authority in spaces the Mirage has vacated, both sustained by The Insecurity Triad as the mechanism of their mutual reproduction.

Nigerian ambassador-designates, to South Africa, Femi Fani-Kayode has urged former governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso not to believe the one term agenda of the 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi. DAILY POST recalls that the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC had during its nation convention, zoned its president ticket to the South for just four years. The decision, which paved the way for Obi to contest the election for a single tenure was heavily backed by Kwankwaso. However, in a statement on Sunday, Fani-Kayode wondered if Kwankwaso, Obi’s prospective presidential running mate believe the one term agenda, alleging that Obi is a betrayer.…
