Search under way for three-year-old boy missing from Suffolk playground
More than 100 people are reported to have joined the search effort and local train services are running at reduced speed
Police are urging people to check their gardens and sheds for a three-year-old boy who went missing on Tuesday during a visit to a playground near the Suffolk-Essex border.
The boy, named Noah, was last seen at 3pm in Merriam Close in Brantham, near Manningtree, before being separated from a relative. Officers from Suffolk constabulary said that Noah was reported to have run down an alleyway near the playground towards a housing estate. Continue reading...

I've spent the last day or so trying to find information on possible mechanisms by which AI superintelligence could cause human extinction. How do they think it might happen? All the answers I've seen so far are very hand wavy on the detail

This should be being shouted from the rooftops! It should be at the heart of government policy and discussion the world over and yet... it is pretty much the only thing that matters from a long-term (medium term perhaps even short term) civilisation perspective.
The daily global average sea surface temperature has reached its highest level on record. On 22 August 2026, data from the #CopernicusClimate showed 21.1°C, exceeding the previous record set in March 2024.

AI 10x is a fallacy, at least at a population level. For a population to support 10x increase in productivity within the tech sector, keeping a similar percentage of workforce fully employed, demand has to increase x10. Companies will achieve 10x individually but by reducing workforce dramatically.

This is a scary and very important graph. The grey line shows the highest sea surface temperature anomaly ever recorded in the Nino 3.4 region of the Pacific. The orange lines show the predicted anomaly for this year. The dark orange is the overall predicted anomaly. The blue is this year's anomaly.
What do you think about combining the measured values and the ECMWF forecast in one graph?

The method for computing the ENSO cycle (La Nina/El Nino) changed as of Feb. 2, 2026. NOAA is now using RONI, the Relative Oceanic Nino Index.
Even with all the recent record heat, since 2020 it's been mostly La Nina!

Very succinctly put.
"What the current U.S. administration is doing...is saying the quiet part out loud. As the natural resources that the modern world depends on become more and more scarce, countries will more and more resort to openly violent methods to secure access to those resources."

With 4 days of data to go, November, 2025, will likely end up as the third warmest November on record and third warmest November in the last 120,000+ years.
November will also mark the second consecutive month breaking 1.5°C over the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline.
Stay tuned!

Juan Brown says that with first officer being the pilot flying, the captain would have their right hand on the throttle up to rotation speed, then remove it. No one's hand should have been near the throttle at liftoff, as it's too late for an abort.
Hard to see how it could be accidental.
