Why the US is attacking Iran now

The United States bombed Iran on Saturday night, joining an Israeli-led offensive aimed at demolishing the Iranian nuclear program. The American assault targeted three facilities associated with the program at Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow — the last of which was widely seen as too fortified for the Israelis to disable without American help. President Donald […] Read more

Scientists put motion cameras along the US-Mexico border to spy on wildlife. The footage is spectacular — and telling.

The border wall between the US and Mexico is, of course, a barrier meant to prevent human migrants from crossing into America as they seek work, family, or refuge from violence.   It’s also a significant barrier to ranging wildlife.  The border wall, a centerpiece of President Donald Trump’s agenda, cuts through a rugged, unique […] Read more

Is moderate drinking bad, actually?

There is a lot of advice out there about how much alcohol one should drink. There is research suggesting that drinking could be dangerous, and research that indicates drinking is good for you. Which is it? Obviously, too much drinking is bad for one’s health — and drinking to excess can destroy the human body. […] Read more

Is political violence on the rise in America?

A series of high-profile incidents of political violence — targeting members of both major political parties — have grabbed the nation’s attention. Earlier this month, a gunman shot two Minnesota Democratic lawmakers in their homes. State Rep. Melissa Hartman and her husband were killed, and state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife were injured. In April, […] Read more

I covered my body in health trackers for 6 months. It ruined my life.

It’s never good when an alarm surprises you in the middle of the night. I was recently on vacation with my family, and a weird beeping woke everyone up around 2 am. My wife thought it was a carbon monoxide detector. I thought it might be the baby monitor. It was actually a signal from […] Read more

The bizarre pancreas loophole that’s undermining America’s organ donation system

Below is a graph showing a trend that exploded during the 2020s: What is this depicting? Compute use for AI? Crispr gene edits per year? No, this is another, much less-known example of massive growth these past several years. This is a chart of the number of pancreases (or, to use the correct plural, “pancreata”) […] Read more

Three ways Trump’s attack on Iran could spin out of control

When Vice President JD Vance appeared on Meet the Press on Sunday morning, anchor Kristen Welker asked him a simple question: Is the United States now at war with Iran?  In response, Vance said, “We’re not at war with Iran; we’re at war with Iran’s nuclear program.” This is akin to saying that, in attacking […] Read more

The economic theory behind Trumpism

For more than half a century, the American right has preached the virtues of free markets and low taxes and deregulation. But a new wave of conservative thinkers are now arguing that Republicans have been wrong — or at the very least misguided — about the economy.  This new economic thinking represents a break from […] Read more

This time it’s Trump’s war

Donald Trump claimed during his 2024 campaign for president that America had fought “no wars” during his first presidency, and that he was the first president in 72 years who could say that.  This was not, strictly speaking, true. In his first term, Trump intensified the air war against ISIS in Iraq and Syria, ordered […] Read more

5 reasons to be grateful for air conditioning

Lee Kuan Yew, the iron-willed founder of modern Singapore, was once asked what the most important invention of the 20th century was. He didn’t say penicillin, which has saved over 500 million lives, or the nuclear bomb, which has shaped geopolitics like nothing before. He didn’t even say TV!  Instead, Lee had a simple two-word […] Read more

AI doesn’t have to reason to take your job

In 2023, one popular perspective on AI went like this: Sure, it can generate lots of impressive text, but it can’t truly reason — it’s all shallow mimicry, just “stochastic parrots” squawking.  At the time, it was easy to see where this perspective was coming from. Artificial intelligence had moments of being impressive and interesting, […] Read more

The top priority of progressive politics may be slipping out of reach forever

Four years ago, America was on the cusp of the largest expansion of its welfare state since the 1960s.  Under Joe Biden in 2021, House Democrats passed legislation that would have established a monthly child allowance for most families, an expansion of Medicaid’s elder care services, federal child care subsidies, universal prekindergarten, and a paid […] Read more

He’s the godfather of AI. Now, he has a bold new plan to keep us safe from it.

The science fiction author Isaac Asimov once came up with a set of laws that we humans should program into our robots. In addition to a first, second, and third law, he also introduced a “zeroth law,” which is so important that it precedes all the others: “A robot may not injure a human being […] Read more

What we learned the last time we put AI in a Barbie

The first big Christmas gift I remember getting was an animatronic bear named Teddy Ruxpin. Thanks to a cassette tape hidden in his belly, he could talk, his eyes and mouth moving in a famously creepy way. Later that winter, when I was sick with a fever, I hallucinated that the toy came alive and […] Read more

How climate change will worsen hunger

Globally, humanity is producing more food than ever, but that harvest is concentrated in just a handful of breadbaskets. More than one-third of the world’s wheat and barley exports come from Ukraine and Russia, for example.

The Supreme Court’s incoherent new attack on trans rights, explained

It was obvious, if you listened to the Supreme Court’s oral argument in United States v. Skrmetti last December, that the Court would vote — most likely along party lines — to uphold state laws banning many forms of transgender health care for minors. So nothing about Chief Justice John Roberts’s majority opinion in Skrmetti […] Read more
