It's been a long time coming. Canadian independent bookstores have banded together to create an online book buying source so you can avoid the behemoth in the room. (Here are the titles published by CMU Press, which I run.)

So China has stockpiled about 3 months worth of oil. Their investment in EV technology is displacing a ton of oil use. Renewable energy is still low but China has 6x the capacity of the USA. Someone was way better prepared here than the USA for this, yet the USA started this.
"The agents knew Alejandro and Estefany’s routine, that they went to the same gym around the same time every day."
Devastating and beautifully told, by @mikeiereiland.bsky.social at @nashvillebanner.bsky.social:
For an upcoming story, I'd like to hear from people who have had an encounter with a stranger recording them on Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses. If that's you or you can pass along this request to someone else who has experienced this, I'm at miles_klee@wired.com or millionbear.44 on Signal. Thanks!
MEME picture of a beach with the words in green "Forgiveness is a product of time and effort, not a reward for being sorry"
Flexport's Ryan Petersen says we're seeing weird, second-order effects in freight disruption -- like a 55% increase in shipping rates this week "in the Vietnam-US sea lane, of all things."

At ~$1 billion/day, the US has spent as much on the war in Iran in ten days as the entire FY25 budget for the National Science Foundation ($10 billion).
Trump's FY26 budget request for the agency declined to $3.9 billion, due to a "realignment of resources in a constrained fiscal environment."

1) March isn't even halfway over yet.
2) ICE activity has been trickling upward since last week, with more sightings yesterday and already this morning.
This story just didn't need to be published? Maybe they'll surge and maybe they won't, but reporters offer no insight one way or the other.
A high-powered Chicago law firm announced a plan Monday to push for the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate and potentially charge the agents who carried out Operation Midway Blitz.

China never ended testing.
They still have the infamous APP which allows them to trace, for assist with the notification to the user to do testing.
They prescribe Azvudine (a failed HIV drug), which seems to act as a post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP).
(things everyone else should have done).

They might spin it differently but some people will probably be burdened by feelings of guilt(whether they admit it or not is a different story).
I value empathy & I’m finding it challenging currently…with all the research we now have access to, thinking ahead 15 or 20yrs, what are science-literate people planning to tell their kids…sorry about your lifetime of illness, but people made fun so we went maskless?! Sorry for the snark.
Is that the shell casings flying off the sides?

Brain imaging shows that memories can be reactivated in the brain even without conscious recall, with rhythmic alpha band activity helping these memories emerge from background neural noise. doi.org/hbrsg3
THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
It sounds hand-wringingly lefty because it is a universal truth. There is always money for bombs and never money for desperate people

Restricted Cubic Splines Displaying Associations Between Aldosterone-Renin Ratio and Risk of Cardiovascular Outcomes; includes five graphs of ratio vs. incidence of AF, ischemic stroke, HF, MI, & composite outcome. Each graph shows an aHR value.
Higher aldosterone-renin ratios in older adults were linked to increased risk of atrial fibrillation and ischemic stroke, supporting the aldosterone pathway as a target for cardiovascular disease prevention.

Anyway if you're serious about dismantling bigotry and building a better world, I highly recommend reading White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo. And support the art of marginalized creators in any way you can (buy, review, request at libraries, rec to friends, vote in awards etc) 4/4
350,000 peoples’ lives hang in the balance. A majority entered the U.S. legally and have never been in violation of any immigration law. They’ve had to go through multiple background checks. And yet they’re hanging on by a thread, even though the situation in Haiti hasn’t gotten any better.
Jamie Raskin and Joe Neguse just exposed a massive corruption scandal. DHS handed $143M to a "company" with no website and no HQ, tied directly to Noem’s cronies. Follow the money:

A photo of a large cumulonimbus cloud over a flat, grassy landscape during sunset. The cloud displays vibrant shades of orange and yellow illuminated by sunlight, contrasting with darker gray clouds below and a blue sky above. Zooming in above the towering storm, you'll see a planet flying from left to right.
Yesterday's storm chase along the TX/OK border didn't play out as I had hoped, but that's not too surprising for early season setups. Still, there's almost always at least a bit of a consolation prize. This struggling storm painted by the setting Sun was yesterday's. #Photography
Wow, how often does the first one happen? Not too often I hope.
SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses for AT LEAST (NOT ONLY) THREE MONTHS. Vaccinated mice showed minimal weight loss upon viral challenge, reflecting milder disease symptoms, and exhibited dramatically reduced viral loads with near absence of lung inflammation.

The advice to keep trying and apply more than once is applicable everywhere. Sometimes you'll want to pitch something brand new, but sometimes reworking the idea can work.
