Windrose is matching Baldur's Gate 3 player-for-player on Steam's concurrent charts — at half the price, from a studio nobody had heard of six weeks ago.
Three days after Donald Trump departed Beijing, Vladimir Putin arrives to walk the same red carpet. The scheduling isn't coincidence — it's a signal that China, not Washington, sits at the center of great-power diplomacy.
The figure described as Islamic State's global second-in-command wasn't running operations from the Middle East — he was in a fortified compound in northeastern Nigeria. A joint US-Nigerian raid just changed that.
Israel says it struck the head of Hamas' military wing in a Gaza City apartment building. Seven people are dead, including three women and a child. The target's fate remains unconfirmed.
Every system warned us. Every system worked as designed. The warnings simply weren't the kind of thing anyone acted on until it was too late.

Wholesale power prices on America's largest grid jumped 76% in a single year. The cause is data centers, and an independent watchdog says the costs are already locked in through 2028.

More than 3,700 stock trades worth up to $770 million in a single quarter, made by a president who holds the power to move every stock he touched. The penalty for filing it all late: $200.

On the day Israel and Lebanon agreed to extend their truce, Israeli strikes killed six people in southern Lebanon and Hezbollah drones fell in northern Israel. The contradiction is the story.
Latvia's government just collapsed over a Russian drone incursion. Finland is scrambling fighters. And the Pentagon has stopped sending new troops to Poland and Germany.
The IPCC treats Antarctic ice melt as a fixed input. A study published today shows it's a self-reinforcing cycle — and current projections may be far too conservative.
Suspected Iranian hackers breached fuel monitoring systems at gas stations across multiple US states. The devices weren't password-protected. Researchers had been warning about this exact vulnerability for over a decade.
