Well damn. People living <1 mile from a golf course have >2x the risk of developing Parkinson's. I live <200 meters from one. My dad lived on the 18th green for years...& is developing Parkinson's. Still only correlational stage, but with a likely mechanism. www.apdaparkinson.org/article/golf... 🧪

*cough* A little bit of extra info to add here: There's only one transit, so the true period is unknown. It could be anywhere between 300 and 550 days. This is an exciting candidate! But (a) we don't know if it's real, and (b) we don't know what its temperature is if it IS real.

Cool discovery. Also, not the right place to rant about it, but the abstract reads 'the first planet candidate with Earth-like radius [...] transiting a Sun-like star [...]' HD 137010 is a mid-K dwarf, so calling it Sun-like is… a strange choice of wording. That star is 1000K away from the Sun.

1. The thing about science that these jokers don't understand is that science cannot be vibe-coded. Whatever its flaws, the point with vibe coding is that you're trying to quickly make something that sorta works, where you can immediately sorta see if it sorta works and then sorta use it.

NEW: An Oxford study finds nearly half the world could face extreme heat by 2050 if warming hits 2.0°C - a scenario scientists say is increasingly likely. Researchers call it 'a wake-up call.' 🧵 [1/7]

Радан Кънев за подписа на Желязков с Тръмп: Тук става дума за най-тежкия външнополитически гаф на български държавен лидер от момента, в който Тодор Живков е помолил Брежнев да нападне Чехословакия през 1968.

В българския има прилагателно, която се отнася недвусмислено за САЩ, вместо за двете Америки: щатски. А имаме ли регламентиран демоним за поданиците на САЩ? “Щатчанин” ми звучи доста грозно

Also, the arctic vortex wandering south like this IS an indicator of climate change, as it is due to the destabilization of the jet stream and oceanic currents.

“We ran high-level US civil war simulations. Minnesota is exactly how they start”

As someone who spent the last 15 years working with aging brains & dementia, I can't stop thinking about this. It is gerontocracy: leaders who are substantially older than most of the adult population. When did we accept this? The new generations can't show up because the old generations never left.

Trump: "Sometimes you need a dictator."

The contrast between this and Carney’s speech could not be more alarming or shocking.

Trump has been in office for one year. We at @nature.com did a deep dive looking at the administration's disruption of science in numbers. Take a look—the numbers are staggering.

Trump posts an image depicting Canada and Greenland as part of the United States

Днес ще направя обръщение към нацията в 19:00!

NEW: Donald Trump says he’ll impose 10% tariffs on Nato countries - incl UK, France & Germany - who have deployed troops to Greenland and opposed US threats to take over Arctic territory.

Went to Adidas, found some new trainers I liked, bought them, changed into them in the fitting room, threw away my old ones, and ran 8km in the rain 😌 Life's good

🤘😎

Ще ми се покаже муцунката и в “Преди обед” тези дни по бТВ 😝

-human tries to use art to perfectly communicate something they see or feel -they fail -in failing, their fingerprints get all over the art -other humans see the fingerprints and find them beautiful, learn something unexpected about the human that created the art which is beautiful

Finally! Tens of thousands of asteroids are found each year. Yet 2026 had ZERO through Jan 6. The drought is over. Possibly as big as a jet liner. Possibly as large as a football field. Meet 2026 AA. Blame the Full Moon for the drought.🌕 Expect many more soon.

It is not just a currency. It is a sign of belonging - that your place is not on the periphery, but in a space of common rules, trust and responsibility. A sign that the efforts you have made have been recognized and accepted. [..] Bulgaria is Europe. And Europe is Bulgaria."

The official Bulgaria account on Instagram is doing some pretty cool stuff

Не забравяйте, че думата “стотинка” вече е семантично еквивалентна на €0.01, защото просто означава частичка от сто.

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

grim posthumous scenario i had not previously considered: you post a picture of the missile headed straight for you, and are memorialized by a bunch of random assholes complaining about alt text

Por un año 2026 pacífico y nuevo. Asqueroso.

This is - to put it mildly - simply not true. The main anti-Euro camp is the pro-Russian camp. I have read a dozen articles in the foreign press and am very unpleasantly surprised by the simplistic presentation of the situation in Bulgaria.

One could find order and harmony even in a song that sounds dissonant at first. I am astonished.
