Meat giant JBS silently ditches bolder environmental targets in latest review
The world’s largest meatpacking company, JBS, has scrapped two of its key environmental goals in its latest annual sustainability report. JBS’s “Net Zero by 2040,” which aimed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions throughout its supply chain, and zero deforestation targets were substantially rolled back compared to previous years, according to its 2025 Sustainability report, published July […]

Pete Hegseth lashed out at NATO allies on Thursday as he announced a
six-month Pentagon review of American forces in Europe
whose outcome will depend on how fast the Europeans take responsibility for their own security.
The review was yet another surprise for European allies and Canada as they learn to deal with an increasingly unpredictable ally.
U.S. officials and senior military officers had promised to coordinate closely with the Europeans as America draws down.

Hegseth announces a review of US forces in Europe
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has criticized NATO allies for not taking more responsibility for their own security. He announced a six-month Pentagon review of American forces in Europe to ensure NATO moves toward Europe leading its own defense. Speaking in Brussels on Thursday, Hegseth calls it “shameful” that European allies denied U.S. forces access to bases for attacks on Iran. He emphasized the need for a “NATO 3.0,” urging the alliance to become a hard-line military force. T…

China’s state security authorities recently found that a foreign intelligence agency had used domestic routers in China as “proxies” and phishing emails to target personnel at key institutions to steal sensitive data, while affected users remained unaware, experiencing only slower internet speeds, frequent disconnections and unexpected reboots, according to China's Ministry of State Security (MSS).

As a fan of traditional machine learning research, I’ll just register here my sadness and discontent that things are going this way. Time was that an effort like this would follow stringent ethical rules for research involving humans that would never ever allow this kind of phony consent theater, would go through a review board •with actual teeth•, would not involve offloading raw personal data to commercial vendors who have the power to slurp it up and repurpose it, would result in a narrowly purposed-tuned model answering to the ethical parameters of the study, would not leave the barn doors wide open to endless open-ended use of personal data…I could go on.

This sounds important: Electrophysiological responses reveal a dedicated learning mechanism to process salient consonant sounds in human newborns - Psychonomic Bulletin & Review
Isolating relevant sounds in the auditory stream is a crucial feat accomplished by human infants and a pivotal ability for language acquisition. It is therefore reasonable to postulate the existence of early mechanisms that reorient attention toward salient acoustic stimuli. Previous studies suggest that infants tend to allocate more attention to consonant sounds because they resemble human vocalizations. However, systematic evidence on the neural processes underlying consonance tuning in newbo…

Review | ‘Mister Romantic’ Delivers in Laughs
While love may continue to elude John C. Reilly’s character, entertainment does not.

The thesis I was reading spent the majority of it's time focused on John Boyd's OODA loop as a tool for critical analysis in high pressure or constrained situations. Table top exercises could also benefit from using these steps to slow down the thought process, expose what's actually happening, and sharpen these tools.
So each step could start by observing (which is generally what the GM will tell you, but you may ask additional questions to refine observational thinking). What do you look for in any given situation? How do you gather data? What sources do you use?
Next you would orient. Talk through this out loud. What does that data mean? How this fit what you already know, or does it challenge your assumptions? Are you observing something related to a previous action? What does that tell you about your previous action or actions? How do you turn the data you observed into intelligence you can act on? How do your observations narrow the options for the next possible action?
Then you decide your action. But you're not simply deciding, you're coming up with a hypothesis that your action will test. Anything you do is an opportunity to learn something about the world, about your situation, about the accuracy of the model you're using to make decisions. What belief does your next action imply? How will you know if that action was correct or incorrect? What observations would challenge your hypothesis? What observations would confirm it? Are those mutually exclusive, or are there additional observations or actions you must make to clarify things?
Then act. Finish your turn by choosing your action or actions (individually or collectively). Perhaps take a moment to write down notes, like what your observations, your hypothesis, and if you think your previous hypothesis was confirmed or refuted. You can review these all later to refine your thinking.
By exploring these ideas in a safe environment, you can train your brain to run through the process at high speed when under pressure. This helps you avoid panic. It's a lot like slowly practicing marshal arts moves until they become muscle memory, which then just happen without thought when needed.
