I've found this (below) both reassuring and highlighting of the need for constant vigilance. There is no perfect end state. See if you can see where the 'thousand year reich' occurs (also, that Roman Empire lasted quite a while).

Scientists are now able to measure deaths from heat more precisely as the world gets warmer. Here's what they found.
Hot Weather is Killing More than Half a Million People a Year
Authors of a new Lancet report warn that parts of the world could become unlivable, as climate change drives a surge in heat deaths.

I was just in Australia giving the Boyer Lecture. It's an economist's love letter to his home country. It's also relevant to the current American moment, as the main point is to link institutions with prosperity.

15 years of radio observations yielded this amazing view down the throat of a black hole.
We're looking into a jet of plasma shooting out from a supermassive black hole, called PKS 1424+240. The lines depict intense magnetic fields threaded through the jet. 🧪🔭

The death toll from the Trump Administration’s foreign aid cuts could total more than the number of Jewish people killed in the Holocaust, Ukrainians killed in the Holodomor, and Cambodians killed in the genocide by the Khmer Rouge, combined.

USAID cuts could lead to 14 million deaths over the next five years, researchers say
An analysis published Monday in the medical journal The Lancet projects that cuts to the agency will lead to more deaths from diseases like AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis.

Mayo Clinic researchers propose that ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of cell death, may underlie bipolar disorder by linking iron imbalance, oxidative stress, and impaired antioxidants—all core features seen in bipolar patients.

Neurodiversity, creativity and genius: on Brian Wilson
He was hyper-sensitised to sound and able to write modern symphonies; he also found social etiquette and self-promotion impossible. Many people will recognise that cognitive style

OK, this is wild.
In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.
What the HELL?

This exchange is so very telling.
Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this:
"I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

Musk is an absolutely depraved and evil man. Defending Stalin, Hitler, and Mao in order to justify firing VA nurses and park rangers? How does one come to hate civil servants so much? Insane, and dangerous.
