This kind of […] Read more ›

President Donald Trump ordered the entire federal government to stop using products from the AI company Anthropic on Friday to stop what he called a “radical left, woke company” from encroaching on the military’s decision-making. The public feud between the Pentagon and Anthropic which resulted in the firm’s blacklisting has become effectively a proxy for […] Read more ›

President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs last year had been supposed to change everything — as companies retaliated against new tariffs, economists predicted, prices would soar and the US economy would plunge into recession.

A squirrel’s frenzied search for a nut would capture my full attention. I […] Read more ›

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth sometimes appears as if he’s more interested in the optics of playing the part of a military leader than he is in actually being a military leader. Maybe that’s why he has chosen a Hollywood-esque high noon — or, at least, late afternoon — showdown for his deepening dispute with […] Read more ›

The first medical evacuation in the history of the International Space Station (ISS) happened last month. In January, Crew-11 returned to Earth ahead of schedule because of an unspecified medical issue.

When I picked up my kids’ birthday cake this week, I felt a tinge of guilt that I’m sure many people will find familiar. Isn’t this thing loaded with sugar? The health and wellness space is filled with people pushing zero/no sugar diets, sometimes as a short-term detox, sometimes as a long-term way of life.
