If you haven’t noticed, because I limit this curation of news headlines to only 10, I’ve designated each number as a specific category: 1. poll/survey; 2. world news; 3. US news; 4. business; 5. US human interest or psychology; 6. science; 7. science; 8. apps/AI; 9. Mexico; 10. Latin America/Caribbean/Spain. I try to choose headlines that we may miss in our regular news feeds but could possibly have greater significance than we first realize. For example, today’s ‘world headline’ about a Finnish telecom company hit by a cable outage. Reading that, your first impulse may be to ask, ” why should I care?” We should all care because Finland is one of the newest members of NATO and any disruption to its communication infrastructure could have significant implications for regional security and global stability. The cable outage might seem like a localized technical issue, but in the context of Finland’s strategic importance as a NATO member bordering Russia, it raises concerns about potential vulnerabilities, whether accidental or deliberate. Such incidents remind us of the fragile interconnectivity of modern nations, where a disruption in one place can ripple through defense, trade, and geopolitical alliances. Headlines like this may not scream for attention, but they underscore the importance of staying informed about seemingly minor events that could signal larger shifts in the global landscape. My goal in curating these headlines is to help connect the dots, highlighting stories that may hold greater significance than we initially realize — and fulfills my mission of going Beyond the Headlines…
