Humans evolved to pay close attention to danger,
but today that instinct is being overwhelmed by an endless supply of bad news from around the world.
Researchers say the answer isn’t to stop following current events
—it’s to build healthier habits around how, when, and where we get our news.

Mr Falange calls for a General Election (probably to save his Clacton face) & says, "You cannot make the ‘biggest changes’ in British politics in 40 years without a mandate from the British people."

The cataclysmic collision is thought to have taken place about 10bn years ago

SpaceX can be defined in many ways.
SpaceX is a financial instrument for Musk.
Before the IPO, SpaceX acquired xAI, Musk’s artificial-intelligence company, which itself acquired X, the social-media site, back in 2025.
The maneuver allowed SpaceX to claim that it believed it had “the largest actionable total addressable market in human history”:
$28.5 trillion, to be precise.
$26.5 trillion of that, according to the filing, would come from AI infrastructure and a…
