And the Waddington’s Landscape again (and again, and again!). Very interesting article from @philipcball.bsky.social.
It's a pity that he did not mention the correspondence between Crick and Waddington, in which Crick manifested a critical view (as always).

Am I reading well that endocannabinoids are anti-inflammatory?

In my perspective, it should be the other way around. The Pope should be kissing Patti's hand. No gentlemanship anymore...

wow, I would never imagine this meeting 40 years ago. But, a meeting between two poets brings always good winds to all of us.
And we really need good winds.

Pope Leo received singer and songwriter Patti Smith in private audience this morning. The Pope and Smith are both Chicago natives. She was accompanied by @antoniospadaro.bsky.social, undersecretary for the Vatican's Dicastery for Culture and Education.

Whenever the apt analogy is drawn between South African Apartheid and Israeli Apartheid, cynics and doubters ask: If so, where is the Palestinian Nelson Mandela? The answer is: Languishing in prison, tortured and menaced around the clock for 24 endless years. His name? Marwan Barghouti.

Everybody in the "climate space" (which means everyone on earth...) needs to understand these mind-blowing figures.
Google's "total electricity consumption jumped from 31 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 to 43 TWh in 2025."
In ONE year.
The AI corporate arms race is eating the world.

Google's energy consumption numbers in their new climate report are mind-blowing. 2 years ago they flipped from linear to exponential growth, and their climate impact is blowing out, too.
A WILD testament to the obscene bloat and waste of GenAI:

There is a ceasefire, but on average one Palestinian child dies each day in attacks by the Israeli Army in the Gaza Strip.
