Editor’s picks are below, but first a word from today’s sponsor…
Is it your worldview? Or is it an algorithm?
Every day, algorithms decide what news you see—and what you don’t. Over time, this can trap you in an echo chamber, shielding you from perspectives you might disagree with. These filter bubbles don’t just shape opinions, they fracture our shared reality.
Enter Ground News.
Instead of pushing one narrative, Ground News shows how outlets from the left, center, and right cover the same story so you can see the full picture.
And instead of an engagement-maximizing algorithm skewing your worldview, their Blindspot Feed reveals stories that are being underreported by either the left or the right—so you can see both the story told and the story untold.
Join 1M+ readers from across the political spectrum who use Ground News to challenge their worldview and become more balanced, well-informed newsreaders.

He shares important insights on how judges deal with problems such as information overload, time-pressured decision-making and cognitive biases. He also explains the importance of lawyers crafting submissions based on how judges think, and the difference this can make to a client’s case before the Court. Justice Applegarth’s insights are valuable to lawyers at all stages of their career.
