Headlines From The Times - How workers evade vaccine mandates

As more and more workplaces have instituted COVID-19 vaccine mandates, a cottage industry has sprung up to help skeptics evade them.

The Intelligence from The Economist - The battlefield broadens: Ukraine resists

On the ground, Ukrainian resistance is holding—so far—and Vladimir Putin’s nuclear posturing reveals a crumbling of his plans. Meanwhile the international response grows more serious and more united. We examine President Joe Biden’s savvy Supreme Court pick, Ketanji Brown Jackson. And how to get around the fact that eyewitness testimony can be fuzzy or change over time.

Start the Week - Post-war/post-Covid

The historian Peter Hennessy asks whether post-Covid Britain needs to set out a new social contract, comparable to the Beveridge report after WWII. In A Duty of Care, he looks back to the foundations of the modern welfare state and the ‘five giants’ against which society had to battle – want, disease, ignorance, squalor and idleness. He tells Helen Lewis that after the effects of the pandemic, it’s time to be ambitious and try and work together to tackle today’s comparable giants.

In a damning report commissioned by the NHS Race and Health Observatory earlier this month, it was revealed that minority ethnic patients suffered overwhelming inequalities. If a new Beveridge is to be conceived diversity will need to be at its heart, but the anthropologist Farhan Samanani is concerned that increasingly ‘difference’ is being seen as a threat to societal cohesion. He has undertaken field research in the north London area of Kilburn – one of the most diverse in the UK. In How To Live With Each Other he explores the capacity of people to connect across divides and cultivate common ground.

While post-war governments looked to rebuild the country’s infrastructure and create a new welfare state in the aftermath of the trauma of war, the arts and education in Britain were also viewed as vital to the economy and to reuniting the nation. Jane Alison is the curator of the Barbican’s new exhibition, Postwar Modern: New Art in Britain, 1945–1965 (opening on 3rd March). She says that artists at the time – both home grown and refugees – sought to find meaning and purpose in a changed world. And she argues that artists today are asking similar probing questions about what kind of society we want and need.

The Best One Yet - 🍣 “Really real fake real slammin’ salmon” — IMAX’s un-theatering. WildType’s $100M sushi. Cybersecurity’s moment.

IMAX is reframing what it is: Not just a theater company, it’s an entertainment company. WildType just raised $100M to make sushi-grade salmon from salmon cells (so it’s meat-based meat) that’s really real (but also fake). And cybersecurity stocks had their best year ever… and then best week ever… because “Fortressing” ain’t a fad. $IMAX $PANW $CRWD $ZS $BYND Got a SnackFact?

In 1648, Europe saw the end of two of the most horrific wars that had ever been seen on the continent up until that point. 


The treaties which ended these conflicts established an international order which overturned the system which had existed for centuries, and established a new order which in many respects, still exists today. 


Learn more about the Peace of Westphalia and how its legacy can still be felt 350 years later, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
