Analysis | Zelensky says he's serious about peace. It's impossible to evaluate that claim without seeing what kind of real estate portfolio he's offered to Kushner, Witkoff, and Trump.

1/ A story relevant to today's news. On September 12, 1942, the U-boat U-156 spotted a particularly juicy target: the RMS Laconia. A former ocean liner, she was now an armed merchant ship, usually carrying supplies and troops and she had no escort. U-156 attacked, putting two torpedos into her side.

The best thing about having fragile pottery send to your home is that it comes with a free void, the abyss you shouldn't stare into and... oh wait, it's just Moortje.

This image from the Perseverance Mars rover came down yesterday.
The rover is looking down towards the ground, forlornly.
Wondering why someone would ever maroon it on that dead, cold planet.

Hey @nature.com, have you got an explanation for how the hell THIS happened? & especially why you accepted a paper with such a bizarre piece of genAI slop in it?!
& more to the point, why we should take you seriously at all going forward?

First human bird-flu death from H5N5 – what you need to know
A patient in Washington state has died from H5N5 bird flu, the first known human infection with this virus – but experts say the wider risk remains low.

I had great fun with A.I. Messing around with it and making it do dumb things. Like asking A.I to send me dick pics. It first sent me images of Nixon. Then after a further prompt, it sent me images of Nixon merged with images of sausages.

I sometimes go down various science conspiracy rabbit holes, so when the big Genesis Mission announcement dropped yesterday, it triggered me to go off on one of my favorites: MAHA medbeds.
