Trump’s deal with Putin is illegal. In 2022, the US Congresses passed the Ending Importation of Russian Oil Act, explicitly prohibiting the import of russian energy resources into the United States. Legally, Trump is not allowed to make a deal with Putin.

A new study shows that state abortion bans lead to higher insurance costs in those states. Increased birth rates with more pregnancy-related complications, and more emergencies and infant and maternal deaths, generate costs that are passed on to families. Black and Hispanic women are most affected.

David Quammen's essay in The New York Times today closes with this paragraph. It's both a scientific falsehood, and an incredibly dangerous narrative. If you're willing to give me five minutes of your time, I'd like to explain why.

The Ebola virus doesn’t need to spill back. It abides in its reservoir host, and awaits its next opportunity. A virus can’t climb out of a bat or a monkey and fly off in search of human prey. It can only spill over. If humans left the reservoir host alone — not hunting it, not capturing it, not eating it, not exporting it live, not disturbing its forest habitat — the virus wouldn’t re-emerge in humans. It would remain where it is, harming no one. But of course that’s not what happens. And when viruses spill, they often spill into us, because the human population is such a big, busy target.

It looks like a winged version of a Clanger to me. UK 1970s children's TV was also weird and wonderful.

The Clangers, the delightfully odd UK TV program of the 1970s, made by Smallfilms.
In the picture we see the word Clangers in gold. Under this, three long nosed pink creatures point to our left. These are Clangers. They are standing a grey moon. The middle one is in a hole leading to their home in the subterranean caves below. A metal lid has been pushed off the hole and lies behind them.
The picture has no soundtrack, but if the Clangers were to speak to us, they would sound like swanee whistles (slide whistles).
