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.

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.Â
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.Â
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.
Drawing on a wealth of new archival material, Kei Hiruta's Hannah Arendt and Isaiah Berlin: Freedom, Politics and Humanity (Princeton University Press, 2021) traces the Arendt-Berlin conflict, from their first meeting in wartime New York through their widening intellectual chasm during the 1950s, the controversy over Arendt's 1963 book Eichmann in Jerusalem, their final missed opportunity to engage with each other at a 1967 conference and Berlin's continuing animosity toward Arendt after her death. Hiruta blends political philosophy and intellectual history to examine key issues that simultaneously connected and divided Arendt and Berlin, including the nature of totalitarianism, evil and the Holocaust, human agency and moral responsibility, Zionism, American democracy, British imperialism and the Hungarian Revolution. But, most of all, Arendt and Berlin disagreed over a question that goes to the heart of the human condition: what does it mean to be free?
Kei Hiruta is Assistant Professor and AIAS-COFUND Fellow at the Aarhus Institute of Advanced Studies, Aarhus University, Denmark.

We'll tell you where the war in Ukraine stands now. Russia's troops are advancing, Russia's leader has an ominous warning, and several other countries are pledging new support for Ukraine.Â
Also, a top Ukrainian official reached out to Elon Musk with a request, and it worked.
Plus, a new Supreme Court nominee who could represent a couple of firsts for the U.S., new mask guidelines mean fewer mandates, and a preview of the Oscars: who won the top prizes at last night's SAG awards.
Ukrainian officials will reportedly talk with Russia as early as today on the border of Ukraine and Belarus. Matt Duss, Senator Bernie Sanders’ foreign policy advisor, joins us to discuss today’s expected talks and what he thinks is on the negotiation table for both sides.

Russia will succeed in its invasion of Ukraine, national security expert KT McFarland predicts. And once Russian President Vladimir Putin takes Ukraine, he won’t stop there, she says.Â
“I think [Putin’s] going to start looking to the Baltics, those three little countries—Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania,” McFarland says on “The Daily Signal Podcast.”
America is now in another Cold War with Russia, one that the United States has not prepared for as well as it should, according to McFarland, whose government posts in national security date to the 1970s and who was deputy national security adviser early in the Trump administration.Â
McFarland joins the podcast from the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, Florida, to discuss Putin’s ultimate goal in invading Ukraine and what America should be doing in response.Â
President Biden has nominated Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to fill Justice Breyer’s seat on the Supreme Court. If confirmed, she would be the first Black woman to hold a seat on the court. What does her backstory say about her as a jurist?Â
