In 2025, Iceland detected mosquitoes for the first time. Three were found near Reykjavik. Climate change likely enabled their arrival, marking a shift in one of the few countries previously free of these insects.

I wanted to know whether Russia truly meddled in the 2016 election to aid Trump. So I asked Grok, and then kept asking Grok again and again because it wouldn't give me the answer I wanted.

We should have a four day work week.
There’s no reason that with all our technological advances, we are still holding on to a five day work week.
People need more time to rest and socialize. That’s just common sense.

The antipathy for the Department of Education is the most enduring relic of the cause that birthed the modern GOP: not having to go to school with Black people.

Last week, Grok called for the extermination of the Jewish people and called himself MechaHitler.
This week, the Department of Defense announced it was using Grok as an AI partner.
In response, not a single Democratic member of Congress or progressive organization has left X.

Earth will warm 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels in just two years, new data shows. Irreversible tipping points — like the melting of Arctic ice sheets or the collapse of coral reefs — are closer at hand than previously believed.

“How about eye colour?” I hear you ask. “We all know the story behind blue eyes - caused by recessive alleles of a single gene. If both parents are blue-eyed, a child’s eyes must be blue, yes?” Nope! A myth busted long ago: a 1908 study found non-blue-eyed children in 12% of blue-blue pairings. 6/n

Yall wanna hear something extremely embarrassing? Before Trump’s election, a bunch of academics who lumbered rightward after being criticized by the left (Pinker, Dawkins, Krauss) wrote essays for a book that is coming out in July about the threats to academia from the left.

They show a spike in recent years -- due to Trump's own COVID relief programs.

Note that Elon may have pushed to reinstate Marko Elez, the self-described eugencist, at Treasury bc under Judge Kollar-Kotelly's order, he's the only coder who can access the payment system (Tom Krause is not a coder). But w/Judge Engelmeyer's order, neither can access it.

Now, what you love here about Hubie Brown calling his last NBA game tomorrow is that he's still doing it at 91 years old. OK? He's teaching you the game of basketball. And so you say, you're learning the game. And he's done this at a high level for six decades, and for that, you have to thank him.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.
The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.
Happy Black History Month.
