Common cleaning sponge found to release trillions of microplastic fibers
That “magic” sponge under your sink may be hiding an environmental downside. While melamine sponges are famous for effortlessly scrubbing away stubborn stains, they slowly break down as you use them—shedding tiny plastic fibers that wash into water systems. Researchers estimate that globally, these sponges could release over a trillion microplastic fibers every month, potentially entering the food chain and affecting wildlife.

At this year's Open Source #Firmware #Conference, I will be presenting on "Boot Chains and Build Systems"! 🥳🥳
(spoiler: it's complicated 🫠)

Boot Chains and Build Systems Open Source Firmware Conference 2026
It is clear that booting a system based on an application processor requires multiple binaries and possibly multiple hardware components - at the very least, one to initialize the DRAM and one to run in it. This implies that the various components of the chain, however many, need to be aware of the respective next and previous one somehow: Any component has to know the source, the protocol, and the destination for loading the next one, and the build system needs to create an overall image for t…

But let’s be clear: This is not a final victory for reproductive rights.
Earlier this month, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that mifepristone could no longer be prescribed through telehealth or sent by mail

We are living in a new world of hedgers.
The shocks of the last several years
—COVID-19, Russia’s war in Ukraine,
Trump’s tariffs,
and the Iran conflict
—have upended how nations approach international affairs.
The smooth flows of a globalized and rules-based world have clotted into uncertainty,

Countries no longer consider historical partner…

Hedging Is the New Normal
For the foreseeable future, successful statecraft will depend on hedging.
