Hypatia, a renowned scholar of philosophy, mathematics and astronomy, was assassinated in 415 AD in Alexandria, Egypt. Her work laid the foundations for modern astronomy. She defied societal norms of the time, and lived an extraordinary life, dedicated to the pursuit of education and reason. Her death was the direct result of fake news. A violent mob executed her publicly.

在气候变化和塑料污染促使各行各业重新思考传统材料的时代，一个意想不到的“英雄”正从我们脚下悄然崛起——真菌。尤其是真菌的菌丝体——形成其根系的网络结构，正被证明是最具多功能性、可生物降解且环境影响极低的可用资源之一。如今，全球的科学家、建筑师和创业者们纷纷将目光投向这一有机体，希望以此解决建筑和包装这两个污染最严重的行业所带来的问题。

In an era where climate change and plastic pollution are forcing industries to rethink traditional materials, an unlikely hero is emerging from beneath our feet: fungi. Specifically, mycelium, the network of threads which forms the fungal root, is proving to be one of the most versatile, biodegradable, and low-impact resources available. Scientists, architects, and entrepreneurs around the world are now turning to this living organism as a solution to two of the most polluting industries: construction and packaging.

ActBlue, the dominant digital fundraising platform for Democrat campaigns, is now under intense scrutiny as allegations of fraud, unauthorized recurring donations, and potential links to illicit financial networks come to light. Once praised for empowering grassroots political movements, the ActBlue platform is now facing federal investigations and congressional oversight. Reports suggest possible lapses in donor verification and transaction monitoring, raising concerns that could have serious implications for national security and the future of online political fundraising.

For decades biologists have been puzzled by the apparent low cancer rates of elephants and other large vertebrates. After all, their size means they have more cells and therefore one would assume a higher risk of cancer. However, not only do many animals large and small get cancer significantly less than initially thought, their mechanisms to prevent the disease could benefit humans as well.

Live plucking of geese and ducks is a cruel and harrowing experience for both the animal and the ethical consumer. Despite this grotesque practice, the down and feather market is set to explode in the near future. Live plucking operates in a legislative vacuum – with China leading the pack of countries where anything goes. Despite an increase of fashion retailers vowing to discontinue the trade, it seems that only the consumer can put an end to this.

Ein aktueller Bericht kommt zu dem Schluss, dass die Israelischen Verteidigungsstreitkräfte (IDF) am 7. Oktober 2024 erheblich unvorbereitet auf den Angriff der Hamas waren. Aufgrund einer langen Reihe von Fehlentscheidungen und Fehleinschätzungen ignorierte die IDF bewusst Warnsignale hinsichtlich der militärischen Fähigkeiten der Hamas und deren Absicht, anzugreifen. Infolgedessen war das israelische Militär nicht nur ahnungslos gegenüber dem bevorstehenden Angriff, sondern auch vollkommen unvorbereitet auf eine angemessene Reaktion – mit katastrophalen Folgen.



A recent report found that the IDF was significantly underprepared for Hamas’ attack on October 7, 2024. Due to a long series of poor decisions and misunderstandings, the IDF willfully ignored signs of Hamas’ military capabilities and intentions to attack. As a result, the IDF was not only unaware of the imminent attack but also wholly unready to respond accordingly, leading to a catastrophic situation.

津巴布韦和纳米比亚以气候变化和人口饥饿为由，决定捕杀近 1000 头野生大象、河马和斑马，这一决定遭到了国际社会的强烈批评。这两个国家的人口在过去几十年里急剧增长，预计还将继续呈指数增长。将责任归咎于气候变化是一个站不住脚的借口，事实上，人类对资源的管理不善和政府政策的无效才是罪魁祸首。

The decision of Zimbabwe and Namibia to slaughter almost 1000 wild elephants, hippos and zebras citing climate change and their starving human population has been strongly criticized by the international community. Human populations in both nations have exploded in the past decades and are expected to continue their exponential growth. Blaming climate change is a week excuse, when in fact it was humans who were responsible for mismanagement of resources and ineffective government policies.

Billions of liters of raw sewage have flowed from Mexico’s Tijuana River into the US, polluting California’s coast and endangering public health for decades. Now, as the crisis reaches a breaking point, the US government is taking renewed action. With leadership changes, increased funding, and major infrastructure projects in motion, officials hope to finally turn the tide on this cross-border environmental emergency.
