I never realized what a superpower it is (apparently) to be able to scan over a couple of pages of text and *instantly* find the answer you're looking for, rather than having to sit and wait for some guy to hype his brand for a bit and work his way slowly around to it.

I am here in Congress as Democratic Senators prepare to hear live testimony from those hit hardest by the Trump admin’s delegalization campaign—the largest effort in US history to strip protections and status from immigrants, many who have lived here for years.   Over 1 million are already impacted.

I have been struggling so hard to figure out why everything gets explained/answered in a video now, which takes forever, and whooof the gut-punch feeling I had when I realized it's because most people can't really read. Like, looking at that much text would be *harder* for them and I just wow

Two authors are suing Los Angeles over the LA Public Library’s cancellation of a Read Palestine Week event meant to share Palestinian stories. Libraries censoring authors who write about Palestine sets a dangerous precedent that we must oppose.

Astronomer Royal for Scotland | Catherine Heymans @astroroyalscot.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
Very kindly @newscientist.com have listed the new book in their "best new popular science books of August 2026" list. The summary made me chuckle - I suppose I kind of always have been a "go big or go home" type of girl. 😂
No small ambition in this next book, either. Astrophysicist Catherine Heymans’s latest is, according to its subtitle, no less than a look at the “science of real and virtual worlds”. At its heart is that wonderful, death-defying question: could we be living in a computer simulation, and how would we even know? It all sounds fascinating, as Heymans, the astronomer royal for Scotland, takes us “on a humorous and mind-bending journey through the science of reality itself”.

From subatomic particles and the cosmic mysteries of dark matter to the secrets of the human senses, we are promised an exploration of “whether humanity could ever create a virtual universe as rich and diverse as our own – and what that means for our sense of self, free will and consciousness”. Not much going on here, then.
