And the diseases, particularly screw worm, were being kept away from the US by USAID with their work in Central America. Elon Musk and Trump changed all that.

Rep. Thomas Massie: "The president has been saying this is a hoax…Well, he's just now decided to investigate a hoax...If they have ongoing investigations, those documents can't be released. So this might be a big smoke screen…to prevent the release of the Epstein files."

He Studied Why Some Female Birds Look Like Males

I don’t know why my [research] fellowship was terminated. I suspect that it has something to do with studying a species that doesn’t fit the binary of what we expect to see in nature, with completely different males and females. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/s...

Non-reactive Judgment | dhammatalks.org

No matter what you do, you can be criticized from somebody’s point of view. When you do something, one set of values will say it’s good, but another will say it’s wrong. Then you try to please the second, and the first set of values will say, β€œNo, that’s wrong.”

It was trained by the mass media, by our parents, by our friends, by our teachers, by the internet, internet, internetβ€”all of whom have lots of conflicting standards of value.

That’s not the solution.

We all need an inner critic to pass judgment on what we’re doing as we practice, to get an idea of what’s going to be helpful and what’s not. The problem is, our inner critic was trained by somebody else, not by the Buddha.

I received a letter today from someone who’s having a problem with his inner critic, basically asking, β€œHow do you get the inner critic to shut up?"

In their soul, they are no one - so they try to fill that void with bombast, action, and war.

In 'Human Nature,' author Kate Marvel explores climate change through nine emotions NPR's Scott Simon talks to climate scientist Kate Marvel about her new book, "Human Nature." It's a look at our changing planet through the lens of nine very human emotions.

Climate scientist Kate Marvel’s new book Human Nature argues that you can’t separate climate change from human emotion. She explores anger, fear, pride, and β€œhope” – and why the real story is not hope, but using the tools we already have to change course. #climate

Some nuance: Inflation was a global problem that landed (post pandemic) on Biden - he and his team did terribly wrt messaging and showing action - Trump, on the other hand, is actively making inflation worse.
