By All Measures - Longreads
Our problems are too vast, our distance from them too great. How do we navigate our derangement of scale?
"Hopelessness comes from the scalar mismatch between we individuals, who are wee individuals, and the problems of an 8,000-mile-diameter earth." B.R. Cohen confronts our derangement of scales, with help from a scientist who works on the Doomsday Clock.

America has always been a litigation nightmare, but it’s insane to see everybody suing everybody right now - Minnesota and Illinois filing legal action against the Trump admin, Kelly and Hegseth.
This is how it all ends - not with a bang or a whimper but with paperwork and a million billable hours.

Impeccabile, oggi, Paolo Giordano sul «Corriere», riguardo a Trump, Groenlandia e la posizione «incresciosa» di noi europei, «bullizzati ormai da un anno dal nostro principale alleato, anzi dal nostro protettore. E se prima erano solo parole, adesso si passa ai fatti»

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

L'esercizio fisico ha un potente effetto antinfiammatorio, aumenta la stabilità del genoma, riduce la senescenza e migliora le funzioni cognitive e l'immunità. Tutti benefici che rendono l'esercizio fisico il "farmaco" più potente disponibile. Ed è gratis! 🧪💪🏻

US plans to start checking all tourists' social media
The potential social media mandate being proposed by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) would apply to anyone visiting, whether they require a visa or not.
Jeez. All tourists - including those from Britain - will have to undergo a social media screening before being allowed entry into the US under new plans being considered by the country's border force

Trump Has Never Been More Isolated
Even Trump’s allies worry that he has become out of touch with what the public wants.
Trump's lack of regular voter contact has contributed to a growing fear among Republicans and White House allies: that Trump is too isolated, and has become out of touch with what the public wants from its president, @jonlemire.bsky.social writes.
