From @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Trump seems to be offering Israel a deal,” our columnist Michelle Goldberg writes. “The U.S. will countenance the ethnic cleansing of Gaza so long as America gets a prime piece of oceanfront property at the end of it.” nyti.ms/414jKbn

Dig a little deeper into the vampire’s tomb, and you begin to realize that it’s not the ethnic or cultural other that’s really the looming threat at Nosferatu’s heart. It’s the economic elite. www.currentaffairs.org/news/who-are...

Who Are the Real Vampires in ‘Nosferatu’?
Robert Eggers’ vampire film would be easy to interpret as a right-wing, anti-immigrant manifesto. But dig a little deeper, and you realize that the rich are the real bloodsuckers.

This week in Science, researchers present a library of 3D polycatenated architected materials with intriguing deformation behaviors that encompass both solid-like and liquid-like characteristics. Learn more: scim.ag/42fsQTP
Interwoven granular building blocks form crystallographic networks that are interlinked but not rigidly connected. A range of designs, based on rings or cages, can be made using additive manufacturing. Under stress, the networks show responses that are only partially like a liquid or a solid. This motif has similarities to chain mail used by medieval soldiers and has more recently inspired artist and creator communities.
