When language becomes strategy, clarity is a necessity. Life N Times examines the mechanics that shape public life—how “word salad,” dog whistles, misinformation, and propaganda move from feeds to policy, and how power concentrates through oligarchy and nationalism. We assess the media’s role, trace radicalization pipelines, and address hard outcomes like mass-shooting narratives. ...

This Saturday Diego Lopes and Jean Silva headline in a featherweight banger. Lopes is the flashier grappler, but Silva’s pressure boxing is a real threat. The lean is Lopes by submission; value is on his inside-the-distance prop. Rob Font vs David Martinez will be a crossroads fight — Font’s jab and experience should be enough, so Font by decision is a solid play. Gastelum vs Stolt...

Boxing owns Saturday night in Vegas with Canelo Álvarez vs Terence Crawford for all the belts at super-middleweight. The size difference matters — Canelo is naturally the bigger man, but Crawford’s timing and switch-stance IQ make this a legacy fight.
