Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth used an anti-LGBTQ slur completely unprompted at an Iowa State Fair on Monday,
referring to transgender people as “trannies.”
“At the Department of War, we do training, not trannies,”
he said at a Salute to the Troops military fundraiser at the fair, the Iowa Capital Dispatch reported.
The event was initially supposed to be in March, but was delayed when two Iowa service members were killed in an Iranian airstrike that Hegseth downplayed…

The tube cannot easily be adapted to cope with heatwaves, making conditions almost unbearable

Kennt ihr diesen Moment, in dem das DIY-Projekt zu 98 % fertig ist, ihr innerlich schon den Feierabend einläutet und nur noch die letzte Schraube reindrehen wollt?
Genau dann stellt ihr fest:
* Sie fehlt.
* Sie wurde gar nicht erst mitgeliefert.
* Die Lieferzeit für ein 20-Cent-Teil beträgt plötzlich zwei Monate.
Mein unfertiges Meisterwerk steht jetzt bis auf Weiteres als Mahnmal des Scheiterns auf dem Schreibtisch. 🫠🔨

This month on All Space Considered, Griffith Observatory welcomed Dr. Joel Leja, Associate Professor of astronomy & astrophysics at The Pennsylvania State University, to discuss his research on the processes of galaxy formation derived from a combination of statistics, machine learning, and deep galaxy surveys with telescopes like the James Webb Space Telescope: #LittleRedDots

For years Natalie Harp has only been a minor character in the Trump Cinematic Universe.
But all that changed this week when Jon Ossoff, a Democratic senator and possible 2028 presidential contender,
accused Trump in a campaign speech of wanting to “build his ballroom and travel with Natalie” instead of doing his job.
The remark triggered a tsunami of online speculation about the precise nature of the relationship
and a furious backlash.
On Monday Trump lashed ou…

As could be expected, the extremely warm waters of the Mediterranean - due to the record hot summer of 2026 - now lead to unprecedented rainfall, with flooding as a result.
70 mm is more than a month's worth of rain in Valencia, now delivered in 30 minutes. Try adapting to that.

Carbon storage could curb more than 90% of AI data center emissions, study finds
As artificial intelligence accelerates demand for computing power across the U.S., a new study co-authored by Hon Chung Lau, adjunct professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Rice University and founder of Low Carbon Energies LLC, has found that carbon capture and storage could play a major role in limiting the climate impact of data centers.

Spanish hotel chains. A Canadian mining firm. European shipping giants. Visa and Mastercard.
Scores of foreign companies have been driven out of Cuba this summer over fear of being hit with potent, new secondary sanctions.
Marco Rubio, the secretary of state, told Axios last month there are “no escape valves” from his unprecedented pressure campaign against the island.
But not everybody is losing out.
A growing cast of Washington and Florida insiders
