A woman on a beach balances in a yoga posture. Her hands point upward to a full moon, her erect body aligned with the moon’s reflected light across the ocean waters. Ship lights dot the horizon.

How the Right Is Waging War on Climate-Conscious Investing A Leonard Leo–funded effort to destroy ESG has scared off much of corporate America.

Not long ago, a consensus was emerging that markets could help save the planet. Now that consensus is crumbling. Steven Mufson and Tom Hamburger reveal how a Leonard Leo–funded group scared corporate America into backtracking on the climate.

America’s Brain Drain Could Become the World’s Brain Gain Research-funding cuts and immigration changes threaten some of America’s economic advantages.

Trump’s immigration policies are not only making us worldwide pariahs (tourism is way down) but he is gutting America’s future as a leading nation and growing economy. WSJ provides a nice overview with this reporting!

Trump’s NASA budget could cede solar system to China, scientists warn As the administration slashes spending on science, NASA is running low on new missions.

Make no mistake: As Trump eyes more cuts to NASA’s science mission, our rivals are eager to race ahead — not just in space exploration, but in science and innovation across the board.

Trump: "Wind is a very expensive form of energy. It's very bad for your beautiful surroundings, the plains and the valleys and the birds are dying all over the place."


He then repeats his lie about China not having wind farms.

Gautama Buddha, founder of Buddhism, taught that the path to inner transformation is entirely individual. No one can bear our faults or grant us purification—it is something we must undertake ourselves.

Maynard Dixon painted Wild Horses of Nevada in his San Francisco studio following a four-month visit to northwestern Nevada in 1927. The bird's-eye view shows a band of wild horses galloping across a stark, desert alkali flat. Key features of the painting include: Subject: A group of wild horses galloping across a desert alkali flat, viewed from an unusual, overhead perspective. Style: The painting exhibits a modernist style, characterized by angular, geometric forms, dramatic shadows, and a reduction of unnecessary details. It has been described as having a "mid-century travel poster feel". Technique: Dixon applied "cubist-realist principles" to the desert landscape, using angular forms to create a structured composition. Color: The painting features vibrant colors, typical of Dixon's work depicting the American West. It emphasizes the geometry of the distant mountains and incorporates dramatic shadows. Context: The painting was created after Dixon's four-month visit to northwestern Nevada in 1927. It reflects his deep reverence for the state and his engagement with Modernist painting techniques. Exhibitions: The painting has been featured in exhibitions such as "Sagebrush and Solitude: Maynard Dixon in Nevada" at the Nevada Museum of Art. Themes: The painting explores themes of the American West, freedom, and the relationship between humans and nature. It also reflects the changing perception of Nevada from a place to escape to an "unspoiled wilderness". Dixon's "Wild Horses of Nevada" is considered a significant work in his oeuvre, showcasing his ability to blend realism with modernism to capture the essence of the American West.
