I have a new piece out in Nature today on the record-breaking 2026/2027 El Niño, what impacts we should expect, and how governments can prepare. The Niño3.4 region is currently running more than 1C hotter than any prior event on record, and we remain months away from the peak www.nature.com/artic...

"The increasing involvement of technology companies in mathematical research raises the risk that research questions may come to be prioritized because of their amenability to automated mathematics, rather than expert judgment of their deeper significance."

Breaking news: Indiana University plant microbiologist Roger Innes has been locked out of his laboratory by the school in response to a request by one of his federal funders. The move comes after Innes complained about the government’s prosecution of Chinese postdocs. scim.ag/4tsDqRr

He knows he can't say the truth, but it's slipping out anyway and that's the whole thing; "DEI"—like wokeness, like critical race theory before it, and political correctness before that—has always and only ever meant "establishing equality by leveling traditional ascriptive hierarchies"

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.” Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

V. informative piece on the total entwinement of the digital content creation & physical force wings of Trumpist authoritarianism. Things aren’t as elaborated in the U.K. but elements of a bespoke version are taking shape: digital & mainstream amplifying & police protest powers radically enhanced.

The USSR invaded Czechoslovakia in 1968, kidnapping the country’s leaders. In 1956, the Soviet Union invaded Hungary and had its leader executed. Of course, the Soviet Union was not a democracy, but a single party regime ruled by elderly hypocrites.
