"Where will the von Neumanns, the Einsteins, and the Gödels of our age migrate after the SCOTUS overrules democracy in 2024 and Gödel’s Loophole is proven to exist? At this time, the two major powers of our time, the United States and China seem unlikely locations for brains to settle and grow in the long term."

There was a moment in which Kurt Gödel, Albert Einstein, and John von Neumann were all roaming the halls of the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton at the same time.

Humanity experiences such gatherings of brilliant minds in a remote location of the space-time continuum only every so often; maybe the ancient Greeks and the men of the Renaissance witnessed such periods in time, as did the IAS staff at the end of World War II. How much will we have to wait f…

Marine protected areas expanded in 2025, but still far from 30% goal
In December 2022, nearly 200 nations committed to protecting 30% of Earth’s lands and waters by 2030. As of 2025, about 9.6% of the world’s oceans are now covered by marine protected areas, according to the latest global tracking data by the World Database on Protected Areas. This marks a 1.2% increase in 2025, up […]

"Like many, I never really lost the inner nine-year-old who rejoices at the sight of armed soldiers marching in lockstep"...maaaate, don't admit that on page 25!
Yes, you had the grace to admit you've never experienced war, but how the f*** do you expect readers to react?
Is this what comes of being published by a military history/games publisher (Osprey)? Insufficiently critical editing?
Is this a common sentiment? It's 100% not mine
I'm reading Putin's Wars: From Chechnya to Ukraine by Mark Galeotti
I realise it was published in 2022 as Russia was invading Ukraine, but that sentence is even more distasteful now, in 2026

The takeaway sentence here: “[T]wo-thirds of new data centers built or in development [in the US] since 2022 are in places already gripped by high levels of water stress.”
This is particularly pertinent here in #Australia, where already, once-plentiful artesian water’s dwindling, nitrogen- and phosphorus-rich runoff chokes waterways with algae and destroys coral reefs, and

AfD-Boykott zu den Landtagswahlen 2026 in BW und Rheinland-Pfalz Keine Wahlpodien mit der AfD
In Belgien weigerten sich im Europawahlkampf 2024 die etablierten politischen Parteien im Rahmen des „Cordon sanitaire“, einer echten Brandmauer, mit der extremen Rechten zusammenzuarbeiten. Festzuhalten ist ein geringer Wahlerfolg der rechten Parteien in Belgien (vgl. (3) und (4)). Die Autoren der europäischen Cambridge-Studie von 2022 finden keine Hinweise dafür, dass Anpassungsstrategien die Unterstützung der radikalen Rechten verringern. Wenn überhaupt, deuten die Ergebnisse darauf …
