Happy Sunday!
The New Year started with this great initiative and I was so glad to see most of the “celebrities” I am following standing behind this cause. There is a reason why I love all these people, I thought.
Also, it is Golden Globes Sunday, and I can’t wait to see them all wearing black tonight. Award season is one of the very few perks of these gloomy, grey after-holidays times, and I am excited for many of my favorites. To only name my biggest favorite, good luck to Mariah Carey and Marc Shaiman tonight!
I hope you all had a great first week of 2018, here’s your reading for today.

Let’s start on a similar note, because you know I don’t usually post articles here from rock stars, but this one is really good. Also, the next issue of TIME (in which Bono’s article appears) was edited by Bill Gates, and these two know a thing or two about important issues. Beware of the autoplay video when opening the link.

There are still many theoretical questions open about the ICC investigation of war crimes committed by US forces in (or related to) the war in Afghanistan.
