Five mainstream media figures who ran for office as Democrats
Political reporter Hanna Trudo is contemplating a run for Congress in New Hampshire as a Democrat, joining a trend of media figures entering politics. Notable examples include John Avlon, who lost a 2024 congressional bid, and Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, who failed to unseat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in 2020.

Other media personalities like Nicholas Kristof and Matthew Dowd have also attempted political office, facing challenges such as residency requirements and competition from diverse candidates. The shift from journalism to politics is evident across party lines, with examples like Kari Lake in Arizona.

Gardener shares 'excellent deterrent' to keep birds away from tomatoes and strawberries
As spring arrives, British gardeners face challenges from birds that steal ripening fruits like strawberries and tomatoes. To combat this, a creative and eco-friendly solution involves painting pebbles to resemble ripe fruit, tricking birds into avoiding the real crops.

Garden expert Richard King suggests that these painted decoys can condition birds to associate bright colors with disappointment, effectively deterring them. This family-friendly project not only protects gardens but also engages children in creative gardening activities.

Le Monde: At Eurovision, Swedish-speaking Finns are representing Sweden
At Eurovision, Swedish-speaking Finns are representing Sweden
The Finnish group KAJ won Sweden's "Melodifestivalen" on March 8, 2025, securing their spot to represent Sweden in the Eurovision finale in Basel on May 17. Their song, celebrating sauna culture, triumphed over previous winner Måns Zelmerlöw, marking a significant cultural moment amidst historical rivalry.

This victory is particularly meaningful for the Swedish-speaking minority in Finland, which has dwindled to 5% of the population. Supporters hope it will enhance the status of the Swedish language in Finnish society.
