#WeekendReading: Yan et al. on the bad, terrible, not-good-at-all future projections for reef dissolution into the rest of the 21st century. (Have I mentioned it's not looking good?) 🧪🌊 Link: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi…

Anthropogenic reversal of Quaternary coral reef carbon fluxes. (a) During interglacial periods, enhanced carbonate production caused coral reefs to function as atmospheric CO2 sources. (b) During glacial periods, subaerial weathering of exposed reef carbonate consumed atmospheric CO2, causing reefs to function as carbon sinks. (c) Under high-emission scenarios, ocean acidification is projected to shift reefs toward net sediment dissolution by 2100. As sediment dissolution surpasses coral calcification, reefs transition from carbonate-producing CO2 sources to weak atmospheric CO2 sinks, but only at the cost of substantial framework degradation.

The Reminiscence Bump is interesting. The older you get, the stronger your memories of late teens/early 20's become versus such as "last year" and "this morning's breakfast" and "my entire 30's" These memories are often the last to recede under Alzheimers. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reminis...

Now, what's really interesting is: life scripts affect this. Milestones which mark expected phases of one's life: graduations and first jobs, marriages and children, first home bought, retirement, etc. All the things billionaires have ruthlessly strangled from society. bsky.app/profile/pook...

As billionaires ruthlessly destroy life milestone after life milestone, they literally make it impossible to afford anchors for one's memories. Generations successively simply not experiencing anchors in their life which previous generations took for granted.

The Questionable Authority @questauthority.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

OK - Coming attractions time. I found this wonderful paragraph in a federal court filing (specifically, in a motion to dismiss). It's one of the most amazing string cites (kinda) I've seen. The full case is amazing; I'll do a litigation disaster tourism thread tomorrow.

Hundreds of years before the Common Era, Herodotus wrote of the Neuri, a
tribe northeast of Scythia that would reportedly transform into wolves for several days once a year.
Herodotus, The Histories, 4.105 (circa 440 BCE). Werewolves continued to appear in folklore from
antiquity through modern times, and across a wide range of cultures. See, e.g., Pausanias, Description of
Greece, 8.2 (circa 160-180 CE); Ovid, The Metamorphoses, I 219-239 (circa 8 CE); Pliny the Elder,
Natural History, VIII.34 (circa 77 CE); Augustine, The City of God, XVIII.17 (circa 426 CE); King
Canute, Ecclesiastical Ordinances, c. 26 (circa 1020 CE); Anonymous, The Tale of Igor’s Campaign (circa
late 1100s) (Slavic folklore); Marie de France, Bisclavret (circa 1200); Völsungasaga, ch. 8 (circa 1250
CE) (Nordic folklore). Bram Stoker depicted Dracula as a werewolf in Dracula’s Guest. Werewolves

came to the silver screen first in Werewolf of London (1935) and then Lon Chaney’s definitive
performance in The Wolf Man (1941), and have essentially never left it since. And animal
shapeshifting has not been limited to wolves. Greek mythology is replete with humans (or humanshaped gods) who transform into animals or monsters. In Tlingit folklore, Kóoshdaa are wereotters. Celtic mythology includes selkies (were-seals) and kelpies (shape-shifting water-horses that
live in lochs). DC Comics has featured numerous shark-human hybrids since its Silver Age,
including Guppy (a small-time criminal in Nightwing’s rogues’ gallery, first appearance in 2018),
King Shark (the son of a shark god and a human mother, first appearance in 1994), and Karshon (a
mutated shark, first appearance in Green Lantern 24, October 1963). Other examples abound.

Voter screening is not the USPS mission. They don't have the resources or infrastructure to do it and they certainly shouldn't be trying to do it less than two months before a major election. It would not only be an overreach of their mandate and authority, but also blatant election interference.

Interesting choice by NYT to publish an op-ed bemoaning America’s projected population decline by a guy who’s massively racist against immigrants and compares IVF to “Nazi eugenics.” The “pronatalists” only want more of a very specific kind of person in this country. It gives the game away.

The Population Forecasts Are Grim. Theyre Still Too Optimistic.
By Lyman Stone

It's difficult to articulate the extent to which Somalian immigrants are a *unique* problem.
Other immigrant groups may not always have stellar outcomes, but there are almost none who as persistently have the absolute worst outcomes in every country they move to as Somalians.

FWIW I think attacking IVF really is a massively losing political position, and I say that as someone with serious moral concerns around
IVF.
I think if you must attack IVF, you would argue against discarding embryos as a form of Nazi eugenics, not on the basis of personhood.
