This phrase, säbʾa sägäl , refers to the three Magi in Ge'ez, with the s-g-l root relating to augury, divination, or astrology--which, like the word "Magi" itself (related to, y'know, magic) initially connoted not general wisdom but the wisdom garnered through such arts and practices. Love that.

all-caps red text on a white background, reminiscent of a warning sign. The text reads:
YOU CAN WATCH PEOPLE ALIGN THEMSELVES WHEN TROUBLE IS IN THE AIR. SOME PREFER TO BE CLOSE TO THOSE AT THE TOP AND OTHERS WANT TO BE CLOSE TO THOSE AT THE BOTTOM. IT'S A QUESTION OF WHO FRIGHTENS THEM MORE AND WHOM THEY WANT TO BE LIKE.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, and the conclusion I think I’ve come to is that even if it’s not God, we won’t win if we don’t sustain this fight with the faith that what we are saving and the future we are building are righteous. You have to believe in something bigger than yourself.

New Horizons is now *three days away* from shutting off its two heliophysics instruments, simply because NASA has not provided the $2M in funding it had promised to the mission last year or this year. There is no science basis for shutting these off. Our earlier coverage:

Between 2015 and 2025, at least 15 children in an Idaho faith-healing sect died of treatable conditions. State law allows that to happen: Parents who say their faith prohibits giving their children lifesaving medical care can’t be prosecuted.

Idaho Law Protects Faith Healers. It Wasn’t Always That Way.

From at least the 1880s through the early 1970s, it was illegal for parents in Idaho to choose prayer over medical care when a child’s life was at stake.
