They’re growing miniature 3D brains from stem cells. These aren’t your fictional mad scientists’ brains in a vat; they’re organoids, and they grow in petri dishes. They’re also incredibly cool. We can, should, and will use cerebral organoids to discover new medical treatments, study brain development, reduce the demand for animal testing, and even power […] Read more ›

Across the far right, a paranoid prophecy has been taking hold: the belief that globalist elites want to take meat off the menu and replace it with insects. The charge has been spouted in one version or another by provocateurs like Tucker Carlson, Mike Cernovich, and Jordan Peterson, and repeated by countless accounts on social […] Read more ›

An inevitable part of getting old is no longer recognizing the names of celebrities and musicians. Slowly and steadily, the more famous young and younger people get, the more their names will seem like incoherent phrases muttered by someone losing their mind, a vegetable side dish, or some kind of cruel trick.

On September 15, Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show opening monologue included comments about the shooting of right-wing media figure Charlie Kirk and how the “MAGA gang” was “desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them.” Soon after, Brendan Carr, the chair of the Federal Communications Commission and […] Read more ›

Since President Donald Trump’s second term began, his administration’s approach to China has been arguably the toughest aspect of its foreign policy to parse.
