Botswana built its development on diamonds since they were discovered soon after independence in the 1960s. It became an African success story. But now it's crashing down because of the rapid rise of synthetic gems from Russia and India.

Inside the rise and fall of Podemos: ‘We believed we had a stake in the future’
The long read: The leftist party exploded out of Spain’s anti-austerity protests in 2011 and upended Spain’s entrenched two-party system. I was instantly captivated – and for the next decade, I worked for the party. But I ended up quitting politics in disappointment. What happened?

Considering the way Elon Musk has incompetently run X and DOGE as first and foremost opportunities to pry through records looking for embarassing information, you're gambling with your life by buying internet service or a remotely-controllable vehicle packed with internet-connected sensors from him.

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.
