I wholeheartedly agree with this piece from @kityates.bsky.social. The Royal Society has to take may things into consideration, including what its US members feel - but even so, I think the right course in this instance is very clear, and they ducked it. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

People have been observing galaxy NGC 6505 for 140 years, but only now noticed an "Einstein ring" at its center. There, gravity has bent and magnified another, more distant galaxy into a delicate ring of light. The universe is full of beautiful, hidden surprises. 🧪🔭 www.esa.int/Science_Expl...

New study finds that frequent use of AI tools encourages offloading cognitive tasks and reduces critical thinking. Higher AI usage correlated with lower critical thinking skills, especially in younger users. www.mdpi.com/2075-4698/15...

Of course the case of US and Canada WAS the emblematic example. Not anymore.

Look at France and Belgium. Look at Germany and Austria. Who wants to invade a neighbor who speaks the same tongue? Why are you obsessed with Taiwan?

I used to argue with my Chinese friends that having a smaller Chinese-speaking nation as a neighbor is fine. Even more, it is a graceful achievement for a civilization to have siblings.

All of this is very good, but 19.30 on Michael Crichton is priceless. Oreskes makes a great case that historians of science sometimes need not just to grumble about misinformed public discussions but to step up to the plate. Of course, some do already. thehpspodcast.buzzsprout.com/2180146/epis...
