The United States and China have agreed to roll back tariffs on each other's goods, marking a significant breakthrough in their trade conflict. The US will temporarily lower its overall tariffs on Chinese goods, while China will cut its levies on American imports. Looks like the US is backing down after realizing the level of dependence on China.

Everyone with half a brain could see that this was the only reasonable outcome. The Chinese were prepared to walk away from talks with no deal at all, while the US was desperate for any relief it could get. The U.S. public was deeply unhappy with the state of things. The U.S. administration brought all of this on themselves.

The image depicts a serene coastal landscape with a vibrant rainbow arching across the sky. In the foreground, a lush green grassy hill slopes gently towards the ocean. The grass is a rich, vibrant green, indicating healthy vegetation. The ocean is visible on the left side of the image, with waves gently crashing against the rocky shoreline. The sky is overcast with gray clouds, providing a dramatic backdrop for the rainbow. The rainbow is a classic arc shape, with distinct bands of color visible, including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. The shadow of the photographer is visible on the grass, adding a personal touch to the scene. The overall composition of the image captures the beauty of nature, with the rainbow as the focal point, set against the backdrop of the ocean and sky.

Kallas wirft Putin "Spielchen" vor

Zum Auftakt des Außenminister-Treffens zur Ukraine in London hat die EU-Außenbeauftragte Kaja Kallas Russland eine Hinhaltetaktik vorgeworfen. "Wir müssen Druck auf Russland ausüben, weil sie Spielchen spielen", sagte Kallas. Unter Beschuss könnten keine Friedensverhandlungen stattfinden, deshalb müsse es eine Waffenruhe geben.

I am not a contributor on Wikipedia yet, but if someone finds the time, Crimea has been removed from Ukraine's oblasts in the table here, which I find completely nuts.

Is the Kremlin actively trying to erase Ukrainian history one Wikipedia edit at a time?

UPDATE: This has now been fixed. Thank you!

who described her mother’s work as “painting” because of her habit of solving problems by doodling shapes, diagrams & formulae all over huge sheets of paper. My portrait incorporates images based on her doodles, & some diagrams from published papers to illustrate both her creative mental world and her contributions to mathematics.⁠

In 2017, Mirzakhani died of breast cancer at the age of 40. Upon her death, several Iranian newspapers broke taboo and published photographs of Mirzakhani with her hair uncovered, drawing international attention. The International Council for Science has agreed to declare Maryam Mirzakhani’s birthday, 12 May, as International Women in Mathematics Day in her memory.⁠

The US is perceived mostly negatively, particularly in EU countries, with Trump himself being the least popular world leader. China overtook the US in global standing, while Russia's reputation is also improving. Israel had the worst global reputation, especially in the Middle East and South Asia, as a result of genocide in Gaza and the West Bank. The survey was conducted online between April 9-23, 2025, with 111,273 respondents across 100 countries.
