Three years ago tonight, I was in the presence of the most remarkable supercell thunderstorm that I have ever had the privilege of witnessing. For over an hour, I watched it dance beneath the starts, spinning like a top. Mother nature will never cease to amaze, inspire, and humble me.

In the past few weeks, I got to observe a few people on the verge of addiction to AI: spending tokens on agents and anxiously wait for the answer as if they were slot machines — and never knowing when to stop. Scary slop machines

New images just dropped from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, showing the crater formed by a SpaceX Falcon 9 upper stage when it hit the Moon on 5 August 2026.
The new crater is 18 m across and 3 m deep.

I’m thinking more and more often about this piece from @newyorker.com Jia Tolentino on body fat and Ozempic, and I wonder if there will be something similar with maths and AI — stop an obsession with geniuses & realize that improvements don’t last lest sustained

Will the Ozempic Era Change How We Think About Being Fat and Being Thin?
A popular, growing class of drugs for obesity and diabetes could, in an ideal world, help us see that metabolism and appetite are biological facts, not moral choices.

Republican elected officials, particularly Rand Paul and Ron Johnson, are a disgrace.
Aside from their repeated attacks on Dr. Fauci, I ask you this:
Who in their right mind will ever try to lead an American pandemic response again if the consequence is being harassed for the rest of your life?

Senators vote to hold Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress for pleading the Fifth during tense hearing
Fauci declined to answer senators’ questions more than 100 times during last week’s hearing, angering Republican lawmakers who have targeted him for years.

I grew up in the Caribbean. Dengue is truly something you want to leave behind
Virginia health officials announced the state’s first documented case of locally acquired dengue, saying a resident who had not traveled outside Virginia was probably infected after being bitten by a mosquito that had previously bit an infected traveler.

There is no evidence of continued transmission and no additional reports of locally acquired dengue cases at this time, officials say
