"The extreme heat and drought affecting Tehran this year were exceptional in both magnitude and duration. Events of this kind are projected to become more frequent in the future around this region as the climate warms."

Anyone with an internationally adopted kid or gave birth while serving the USG abroad has got to see this and be really nervous about their kid's safety "Where were you born" can be a very complicated story and doesn't have as much to do with citizenship status as it's implied. wapo.st/48WU4RW

Brief recap: On Friday, the WaPo reported that SecDef Hegseth personally ordered the execution of helpless survivors of a military attack, literally the definition of a war crime. Since then, no other outlet has been to able to replicate that reporting, even though they’d love to. (1/2)

“In the first US study looking at whether the recommended fluoride levels in drinking water affects brain function, researchers found that the hot-button mineral has no negative impacts on cognition – and may actually be giving it a boost.” They are trying to dumb-down America. flip.it/sH5foh

When I told people in California that I was moving back to Chicago they'd typically say something like: But what about the weather? The thing is, I love Chicago in the winter.

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture

The Trump administration has reacted to a small scale lone wolf attack by in DC announcing a sweeping collective punishment, using the organs of government to heap blame on partisan rivals, and potentially dissuading anyone from collaborating with US forces abroad for a generation.

"Babybel, which makes those wax-covered cheese bites, is replacing the plastic wrapper around the cheese with paper overwraps . . . ultimately save 850 tons of plastic and 2,500 tons of carbon dioxide annually . . . one of their two factories in France produces 10 million cheese bites daily."

National parks have SO MANY people from other countries (since they get real vacations!) And they spend a lot of money on hotels, food, souvenirs, etc. This is unbelievably dumb, it will destroy entire tourist towns

Mildly concerning thought: Is it inherently obvious that China's LLMs will exceed the rest because they inherently have more training data? The only thing that prevents this from being true is compute and time? The fractured nature of the West & difference in data means its only a matter of time.

A roundtrip LAX-JFK flight in the late 60s was around $3K in today’s dollars. The people who wore suits on those flights were the people who regularly wore suits. Complaining about informally-dressed fliers is complaining that the wrong sorts of people are flying today.

Is anyone on either platform honestly surprised by this? Probably. *Sigh* "Musk may have revealed that the platform he’s long called “the number 1 source of news on Earth” is really just a worthless, poisoned hall of mirrors." www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

The Trump administration inherited an economy that the Economist called "the envy of the world" in a cover story a week before the election and easily could've coasted on that success (again) but instead they set it on fire.

Seems like a lesson we all could learn "early", when we consider how much we are pumping from aquifers. Might not be early now but it doesn't have to be as late as "the aquifer is collapsing, leading to structures failing on the surface with no water for citizens"

Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian has proposed moving the capital from Tehran, a city of over 10 million people, due to the water crisis, overpopulation, and the threat of subsidence. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

The current mess in DC only signals to Beijing that the US lacks unity, organization, and strategic vision to handle an even larger conflict, as the Pacific region is likely to become. Bombing Iran after Israel's SEAD or running masculine army ads doesn’t compensate for it

A thing I was taught over and over and over in journalism school was that following the money would almost always lead to the truth. Once we started following the politics and not the money, the truth reliably stayed hidden. I do not suggest this was an accident.

John Oliver and Co did a great explanation of what public media does, and who exactly the funding recission actually hurts (Hint: it's not liberal elites.) Also very proud to see my old friend and former WBEZ reporter Lauren Chooljian featured for her amazing work. youtu.be/yknMJOgy2pA?...

We would have to send the money back to the foreign countries that paid them. Oh, wait.

What's this? A principled statement from the editorial board @washingtonpost.com ? Didn't think they did that any more. "Things happen sometimes" is not an acceptable response to someone being slaughtered like a cow in an embassy and shipped out in boxes. wapo.st/4a02JnI

Fun fact: the US sells more higher ed to China than soybeans

Burns and his team have held advance screenings of "The American Revolution" across the country, including in DC. Kerger described GOP lawmakers who voted against PBS $$$ waiting in line to shake his hand:

My mistake has been trying to explain what "fascism" is to people who don't care what it is. So I'm going to try something else. Let's do this as a practical thought exercise. If America *were* fascist *today* - what would you have to do differently in your daily life? /1
