A landmark study, published on 8 Aug. 2025, presents a snapshot of the Universe’s first billion years, as revealed by the JWST's data.

It comes from collaborative work of global cosmology experts during the ISSI Breakthrough Workshop in Bern (March 2024).

The Gunfighters: How Texas made the West Wild / Burrough is great.
A great narrative anchored by a pretty extensive literature review with all the bells & whistles (footnotes, endnotes, ‘see also’ refs); lots of de-mythologizing, lots of nuanced history and a really well-told story. Finest kind.

Watch @laurenleharper.bsky.social ‬ on @meidastouch.com ‬’s “Court of History” explain how the Trump administration is misusing secrecy to control the news narrative — and how a FOIA win by ‪FPF revealed the truth.

When the government hides facts, it makes us all less safe.

President Donald Trump’s first 100 days have been dominated by secrecy — excessive, destructive, and irrational.

To combat this, we’ve launched "The Classified Catalog," an ongoing secrecy news tracker that will help the public hold the government accountable.

I personally will continue to use "Gulf of Mexico" because our president is a wrathful felonious nincompoop with the intellect of paramecium and I do not consent to his cartographic buffoonery
Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:

-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.

-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.
