What Orwell feared were those who would ban books.
What Huxley feared was that there would be no one who wanted to read one.

The hurdy-gurdy is a string instrument that produces sound by means of a hand-cranked rosined wheel which rubs against the strings. The wheel functions much like a violin (or nyckelharpa) bow, and single notes played on the instrument sound similar to those of a violin. Melodies are played on a keyboard that presses tangents—small wedges, typically made of wood or metal—against one or more of the strings to change their pitch. Like most other acoustic stringed instruments, it has a sound board and hollow cavity to make the vibration of the strings audible.

why is the US spending so much time, effort and money racing to return?
The Artemis programme has taken years of work, involved thousands of people and is estimated to have cost $93bn to date.
the resource that's the biggest draw is the most surprising: water.
China has been making fast progress with its space programme. It's successfully landed robots and rovers on the Moon, and says it will get humans there by 2030.
The United Nations 1967 Outer Space Treaty says that no country can own the Moon. But when it comes to what's found on the Moon, it's not quite so straightforward.
"Although you can't own a piece of the land because of the UN treaty, you can basically operate on that land without anybody interfering with it," says Dr Helen Sharman, the first British astronaut.
"So the big thing right now is to try to grab your piece of land. You can't own it, but you can use it. And once you're there, you've got it for as long as you want it."

Kestrels are a familiar sight, with their pointed wings and long tail, hovering beside a roadside verge. Numbers of Kestrels have declined since the 1970s, probably as a result of changes in farming, and so it is included on the Amber List. They have adapted readily to man-made environments and can survive right in the centre of cities.

When Trump finishes his term, America will still exist, but it will no longer be exceptional. Not because others surpassed us, but because we dismantled the foundations that made us indispensable. Great powers do not fall to invasion. They decay from self inflicted blindness. What is being destroyed is the architecture of trust built after World War II, paid for by millions of dead and sustained by generations who understood that power without restraint becomes rot.
The postwar order was not accidental. The Marshall Plan, Bretton Woods, NATO, and an intelligence community built on secrecy and credibility positioned the United States as the backbone of the global economy and the guarantor of relative stability. The dollar became dominant not because it was imposed, but because it was trusted. Our alliances functioned not because we were feared, but because we were predictable. That trust is now being treated as expendable.
The consequences will not arrive all at once. They never do. They will appear in allies hedging instead of following, in intelligence partners sharing less and verifying more, in capital quietly diversifying away from U.S. markets, and in adversaries probing boundaries that once held firm. Soft power, once squandered, does not regenerate. Influence surrendered in this way is almost never recovered.
What should alarm anyone who understands statecraft is the normalization of recklessness. Guardrails have been stripped away. Federal authority has been expanded without accountability. Classified systems and intelligence capabilities are being handled casually, opened to private actors with no constitutional obligation, no institutional discipline, and no strategic restraint. The cost will not be measured in appropriations or market corrections. It will be measured in compromised sources, degraded intelligence, and lives lost years from now because trust was mistaken for something that could be replenished.
As a veteran and former intelligence professional, I do not fear America becoming weak. I fear America becoming ordinary. One power among many. No longer the center of gravity. No longer trusted to lead without coercion. The world will move on not out of hostility, but out of necessity. History is unforgiving to nations that confuse dominance with legitimacy.
All of this was done knowingly. Not to strengthen the republic. Not to protect Americans. Not to preserve the order built on sacrifice and restraint. It was done to protect a racist murderous p*dophile and his racist murderous p*dophile friends.
oh and
RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

Holi (IPA: ['hoːli:, hoːɭiː]) is a major Indian festival of the Hindus celebrated as the Festival of Colours, Love and Spring.[1][7][8][9] It celebrates the eternal and divine love of the deities Radha and Krishna.[10][11] Additionally, the day signifies the triumph of good over evil,[12][13] as it commemorates the victory of Vishnu as Narasimha over Hiranyakashipu.[14][15] Holi originated in India and is predominantly celebrated in the Indian subcontinent, but has also spread to other regions of Asia and parts of the Western world.[8][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][excessive citations]
Holi also celebrates the arrival of spring in India, the end of winter, and the blossoming of love.[16][23] It is also an invocation for a good spring harvest season.[16][23] It lasts for a night and a day, starting on the evening of the Purnima (full moon day) falling on the Hindu calendar month of Phalguna, which falls around the middle of March in the Gregorian calendar.

>President Donald Trump's strict immigration policies, including a "zero tolerance" approach that has resulted in the separation of families at the southern border, have once more raised questions over whether his wife, Melania Trump, was at one point undocumented and benefited from programs her husband condemns.
>Days before the 2016 presidential election, the Associated Press reported that Melania Trump was paid more than $20,000 for 10 modeling jobs in the U.S. seven weeks before she obtained a work visa in October 1996.
Another inconsistency is that Wildes in August 2016 told Univision that Melania Trump got her green card "based on marriage" in 2001, but there was no indication that she'd been in a marriage before tying the knot with Donald Trump in 2005.
A month later, Wildes, in a letter that Melania Trump shared on Twitter, backtracked on his comment to the television station. He wrote, "Mrs. Trump did not receive her green card through marriage. Rather, in 2000, she self-sponsored herself for a green card as a model of 'extraordinary ability,' and on March 19, 2001, she was admitted to the United States as a lawful permanent resident."
Immigration attorneys and experts said it was unlikely that Melania Trump, a former model who appeared mostly in catalogs and ads, qualified for the elite EB-1 program reserved for applicants with "an extraordinary ability."

Nobody in higher education has a clue what to do about AI, regardless of what they tell you. We know students (including people like your nurses and doctors and future politicians) are passing courses based entirely on AI and very few schools have admin that are willing to risk retention issues and lawsuits to hold students accountable without irrefutable proof. And even the ones that try are only treading water. Most people don't say it out loud, but we''re screwed.
I suspect that when we look back, this time in history will be some type of tipping point for some type of major change in how we understand education. But your guess is as good as mine what that will look like.

It also got me wondering:
Trainspotting is named after the fictional scene in the book where addicts use a disused railway station, with an old drunk asking if they're "trainspottin'," but it also metaphorically links the characters' obsessive heroin use to the trivial hobby of watching trains, symbolizing a pointless, stationary existence as life passes by, and the physical "tracking" of injection marks. Author Irvine Welsh explained the title comes from how heroin users in Edinburgh would refer to shooting up at abandoned stations as "trainspotting," a mundane activity mirroring their drug-focused lives.

Vapor density is the weight of a gas or vapor compared to an equal volume of air, used to predict if it will rise or sink, with values over 1 being heavier than air (pooling low) and under 1 being lighter (rising). It's calculated by dividing the vapor's molecular weight by the average molecular weight of air (around 29) or by using hydrogen (with a density of 1) as the reference, where vapor density equals half the gas's molar mass. This property is critical in safety, as heavy vapors can accumulate in low areas, posing ignition risks.
While the molecular weight of hydrogen fluoride (HF) is low (20.01 g/mol) compared to air (~29 g/mol), anhydrous HF gas is heavier than air, not lighter, because it polymerizes and forms aggregates, particularly under normal room temperatures and pressures.
Here is a breakdown of why this is the case and how it behaves:
Polymerization: While a single HF molecule is lighter than air, the molecules have strong hydrogen bonds and readily associate into aggregates (e.g., (HF)n where n=1~4), forming dimers, trimers, etc.
Actual Vapor Density: At 20C (68F), the vapor density of hydrogen fluoride is approximately 1.27 to 2.21 times heavier than air.
Behavior in Atmosphere: Due to its density, anhydrous HF vapor will initially stay low to the ground and act as a heavy gas, rather than rising and dispersing rapidly.
"Fuming" Nature: When released, anhydrous hydrogen fluoride forms a dense, white, acidic cloud that typically sinks, as it is heavier than the surrounding air.
Important Context: Some definitions or specific conditions (such as at very high temperatures) might show HF acting as a lighter-than-air gas, but in the context of industrial leaks, safety, and standard handling, it is treated as a heavier-than-air gas.

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

ELI5: if a dragon fly was 1,000 times the size of a normal dragon fly with the exact same proportions and made of the exact same materials, would it still be able to fly?
or any other flying bug or bird.
I'm just curious if flying bugs or birds could fly with the exact same dimensions but being much larger creatures.
Would gravity have a larger effect? etc...
"Size" is ambiguous, so let's say it weighs 1000x as much. Mega-dragonfly isn't any denser than normal dragonfly, so 1000x the volume, also. 1000x is convenient, because it's a cubic number: 1000=1e3. So every dimension is 10x as large. Instead of 6 inch wingspan, 60 inches (5 feet). A dragonfly 1000x the normal size would weigh something like 5 pounds -- more than most hawks.
Wing area is an area -- a square number. So making the dragonfly 10x larger in each dimension makes the wings 100x larger in area. But they have to carry 1000x more weight. 10x more weight loaded per area of wing. Could a regular dragonfly carry around 9 others? I don't think so. It would not be able to fly.
Strength is a material property -- you can only make muscles stronger by making them thicker. Like the wings, the muscles and exoskeleton have cross-sectional area that has only increased 100x and have to carry 1000x the weight. That's 10x the structural load. Ants famously can carry very large objects relative to their body size, but this is because they're tiny, and have lots of material strength left over. Scale up to 1000x, and that reserve strength is all depleted. A mega-dragonfly's legs will probably collapse under its own weight.
The biggest problem for any mega-insect, though, is going to be respiration. Insects don't have lungs or complex circulatory systems. They rely on openings in their skin to allow gas exchange, and diffusion to spread oxygen to their muscles. If the dragonfly is 10x as large in every dimension, those crude functions will break down. There's no way enough oxygen is passively diffusing over that much volume. It would suffocate immediately.

sorry, Nömenlōony; no mega-flies.
In 1999, Elijah Snow, a reclusive centenarian and former adventurer with cryokinesis powers, reluctantly accepts recruitment by the field team of Planetary, an organization that investigates the "secret history" of the twentieth century. The field team, also made up of superhuman Jakita Wagner and a technopath called only the Drummer, is supported by a network of global offices, specialists, and equipment, and unconditionally funded by an unidentified, unseen patron called the "Fourth Man." On their missions, the field team encounter concepts from speculative fiction in the flesh, such as pulp magazine heroes, superheroes, kaiju, wuxia and gun fu, a superspy, B movie monsters, Jules Verne's imaginary technology, and interstellar starships. The team embraces the fantastical nature of their findings, embodied by the mantra: "It's a strange world; let's keep it that way."

T.I.L.:
There is a rule that defines a dragon as having four limbs plus wings.
Wyverns are two legged with wings
and Drakes four limbed without wings.
This however is a relatively recent invention. I am not certain where this idea comes from, heraldry perhaps, but it is not consistent with most myths about dragons.
I am not talking about Eastern dragons here. Partly because I know much less about them than I do western ones and partly because the definition of dragon is so radically different.
The defining features of a Western dragon is that it be large and serpentine. Some have limbs, some breathe fire, some breathe poison, some have no limbs at all.
“Ah!” The devil's advocate speaks up “well in that case they aren't dragons, those are myths about different sorts of monsters altogether,”
https://www.quora.com/Should-dragons-have-two-or-four-legs
A luck dragon, such as Falkor from
The Neverending Story, typically has four limbs (legs) and is wingless. They are serpentine and swim through the air like fish in water, needing no wings for flight.
can we get a smorgasbord of mythical monsters, billionaire ben?

An American student who left his glasses on the floor of a gallery tells Newsbeat he "guesses" that makes him an artist.
Kevin Nguyen and his mate TJ Khayatan were messing around at the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco.
Unimpressed with what they saw, they decided to leave random objects lying around.
People assumed they were exhibits, and started taking photos.

does anyone know what happened to med-mastodon?
https://med-mastodon.com/
i saw it was under maintenance, then saw this post:
https://mstdn.games/@noodlemaz/115802365851794888
all i found was:
"A user post on Reddit confirmed that the med-mastodon.com instance went offline around December 28, 2025. The contact email address provided on the site indicated that the instance service was cancelled by the owner. It is currently unknown whether the owner had a plan for data migration or a complete shutdown."
i am also looking for:
