Pavel Durov, the founder and CEO of instant messaging app Telegram, plans to leave his fortune to the more than 100 children he has fathered. The Russian-born tech tycoon has revealed that his estate will be split between his six children from relationships and the scores of others whom he fathered through sperm donation. In a wide-ranging interview published Thursday in French political magazine Le Point, 40-year-old Durov revealed that he does not differentiate between his legal children with three different women and those conceived with the sperm he donated. “They are all my children and will all have the same rights! I don’t want them to tear each other apart after my death,” he said, after revealing that he recently wrote his will.

William Langewiesche died on Sunday. He was a damn titan. Langewiesche hit his stride in longform magazine journalism round about 1998, applying the concept of system accidents to the downing of ValueJet Airlines Flight 592, a McDonnell Douglas DC-9 aircraft that had crashed into the Florida Everglades in 1996. Langewiesche had been doing international affairs essays for The Atlantic—those were also good, and he kept at this work for the rest of his career—but here was a story in his true wheelhouse. It's a great blog: Langewiesche, a professional pilot, had the aviation chops to comprehend the accident like few of his journalistic peers, but what grabs you about the best Langewiesche jams is his talent for stitching together a timeline of events, using as thread the little quiet things that might only be spotted by an expert, or an insider, or an ace researcher. Langewiesche was always at least one of the three, and for aviation stories he was all of the above, to say nothing of an incredible natural storyteller. It will not be possible for any human to surpass his knack for pulling out and organizing the details of NTSB investigations into a gripping, horrifying narrative. Most of his aviation stories, covering a solid 20-year period, felt not just like an event but like a definitive final examination of a piece of history. Two of my favorite Langewiesche jams are about maritime disasters. His retelling of the 2015 sinking of the container ship SS El Faro is an all-timer, pulling together and precisely ordering NTSB investigatory findings, telemetry data, weather reports, corporate history, industry best practices, maritime disaster protocols, biographical information, and absolutely gutting audio transcripts to provide a complete timeline of a tragic and entirely avoidable disaster. I have read his 2004 story about the sinking of MS Estonia, a car-passenger ferry that foundered in the Baltic Sea in 1994, at least 10 and possibly as many as 40 times. It's a bold, breathtaking piece of nonfiction writing, lean and relentless, befitting utterly the terrifying circumstances of the disaster it examines. I am going to pause the writing of this blog right this very moment so that I can go and read it again.

Friends and family of Moises Sotelo ‘disappointed and disgusted’ after respected fixture detained outside church

Calgarians were charged $65,000 to support an art project that allowed residents to listen to the gurgling waters of the Bow River, a funding watchdog says. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) is lashing out against the Reconnecting to the Bow project, a city-funded initiative that involved a hotline connecting callers to the sound of the Bow River at any time. CTF says the project was unnecessary and a waste of money. “If someone wants to listen to a river, they can go sit next to one, but the City of Calgary should not force taxpayers to pay for this,” said Kris Sims, CTF Alberta director, in a news release.

From carbon pollution to sea-level rise to global heating, the pace and level of key climate change indicators are all in uncharted territory, more than 60 top scientists warned Thursday. Greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels and deforestation hit a new high in 2024 and averaged, over the last decade, a record 53.6 billion tonnes per year – that is 100,000 tonnes per minute – of CO2 or its equivalent in other gases, they reported in a peer-reviewed update. Earth's surface temperature last year breached 1.5°C over pre-industrial levels for the first time, and the additional CO2 humanity can emit with a two-thirds chance of staying under that threshold long-term – our 1.5°C "carbon budget" – will be exhausted in two years, they calculated. Investment in clean energy outpaced investment in oil, gas and coal last year two-to-one, but fossil fuels account for more than 80 percent of global energy consumption, and growth in renewables still lags behind new demand.

“There were clues [to] that right from the beginning with their teeth,” says Brown: the handful of molars that were found were unusually large.
