The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Croissant, bakewells, a brownie, a millionaire slice

I'm back in the office 5 days a week and god help me, I've just discovered the local cafe is on Too Good To Go. I was already concerned about the canteen food being unhealthy. Five quid for all this.

The Reacher guy is even bigger than he looks. His muscular chest and biceps are just the top of his body we can actually see. The rest extends miles underground

The Irish Blood Transfusion Service is urging donors to make a special effort to give blood around the Christmas & New Year period, & into January 2025. It said this is important due to the way the holidays fall this year, as 45 normally scheduled clinics will not be held over that period.

In 1890, the X and Y chromosomes were discovered. It was found that the men who were tested had 46 chromosomes, including an X and a Y, while women who were tested also had 46 chromosomes, including 2 X chromosomes.
So obviously the conclusion was that the Y chromosome defined masculinity.

having kids in the next 5 years might be a tragic mistake

every smart bio founder/scientist i’ve talked to seems to think embryo editing for things like short sleeper, reduced cancer risk, etc is possible on a near term horizon

imagine having two kids a couple years apart, one is a super human and the other isn’t

β€œsorry jim, little timmy won’t get cancer, only needs 4 hours of sleep and you’re normal you were just born in the wrong order 🀷🏻 β€œ
