Pyramid Shooting, Ukraine Draft Violence, and Palantir Controversy Dominate News
A gunman opened fire on tourists at Mexico's Teotihuacan pyramids on Monday, killing one Canadian and injuring at least 13 others. In Ukraine, attacks on military draft officers are increasing as war fatigue grows among the population. U.S. tech firm Palantir drew criticism from British MPs after publishing a manifesto on social media championing American power and suggesting some cultures are inferior.
