“Our government has not just normalized Jan. 6, it has radicalized the events into a loyalty test for top government officials,” she said. Trump himself continues to lie on a near-daily basis that he won the 2020 election, regardless of the venue. “The election was rigged in 2020,” he said at a Dec. 14 White House Christmas party.

What are the similarities and differences between human kindness and chatbot kindness? Being blind to context, chatbot kindness lacks Emerson's discriminating “edge” which is so crucial to human kindness. Human kindness bears evolution’s endorsement, having demonstrated its survival value through the processes of natural selection. What most distinguishes human therapist kindness from its chatbot therapist imitation is its flexibility and discriminating quality. Unlike chatbot kindness, which cannot deviate from its programming or discern the difference between helpful validation and harmful collusion, human therapist kindness reflects judgment, responsibility, and accountability.

- Florence Lo/ReutersCopper prices climbed to a record high, soaring above $13,000 a metric ton for the first time driven by concerns over tightening supply and tariff uncertainty in the U.S. In afternoon European trade on Tuesday, futures on the London Metal Exchange rose 0.6% to $13,172 a ton after reaching a high of $13,387.50 earlier in the session. The U.S. Secretary of Commerce is due to provide an update by June 30 that will determine whether the administration moves ahead with a universal duty on refined copper of 15% in 2027 and 30% in 2028. “The downside risk to copper is a reversal of flows to the U.S. if the refined metal is again exempt from tariffs, which could push inventory into global markets,” analysts at ING said. At the same time, a strike at Chile’s Mantoverde mine has intensified supply concerns as low inventories across major exchanges leave little room to absorb further disruptions.
