was just two pages long and contained so little detail that it was hard for legal experts to assess its merits.
Some former government lawyers, as well as prominent Democrats, said the case appeared so flimsy that it was likely to fail.
Some Republicans also expressed concerns

Brief Comey Indictment Prompts Questions and Criticism
The two-page indictment of James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, offered little indication of the evidence that would be presented at a trial. Some legal experts called it flimsy and dangerous.

Reduction of Feynman Integrals in the Parametric Representation IV: Integrals with Irregular Integration Regions
Parametric Feynman integrals with the regions of integration defined by some polynomials are considered in this paper. It is shown that integrals with irregular integration regions can be converted to standard parametric integrals, for which a reduction method is known. An application of this method to the analytic calculation of three-point energy correlators is presented. In principle, this method applies to more general event shapes and even jet observables.

Last year global temperatures were 1.6°C over the pre-industrial average, the first year to breach the 1.5° goal.
"One or two years that exceed 1.5°C above the pre-industrial level does not imply that the Paris Agreement has been breached. However, with the current rate of warming at more than 0.2°C per decade, the probability of breaching the 1.5°C target of the Paris Agreement within the 2030s is highly likely."

Pretty sure I had read somewhere few years ago that Thomas King was not Indigenous... i guess the news is that he finally admitted it.
Sigh..

James Comey, the former FBI director and one of Donald Trump’s most frequent targets,
was indicted on Thursday on one count of making a false statement to Congress
and one count of obstruction of justice
The indictment came shortly after Trump instructed AG Pam Bondi to
“move now” to prosecute Comey
and other officials he considers political foes,
in an extraordinarily direct social media post
trampling on the justice department’s tradition of indepe…

The Comey indictment came less than a week after Lindsey Halligan was installed as the top federal prosecutor in the eastern district of Virginia,
after Trump fired her predecessor, Erik Siebert,
after he declined to bring charges against Comey over concerns there was insufficient evidence.
Halligan, most recently a White House aide and former Trump lawyer
who has no prosecutorial experience,
was also presented with a memo earlier this week laying out why
