A GIANT ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY EXPERIMENT:
Every 16 hours, more or less, a Starlink satellite falls out of the sky. It’s part of the SpaceX business model: Old obsolete satellites re-enter to make way for newer models. It sounds like a good way to keep Earth orbit from becoming too cluttered, but it comes with a cost. Every Starlink that burns up dumps about 30 kg of aluminum oxide into the upper atmosphere. That aluminum is not supposed to be there. So far this year, 171 Starlinks have reentered, adding more than 5 metric tons of aluminum oxide to the stratosphere and mesosphere. How does this compare to natural sources?

The pope’s lie: How a debunked story about a dead child became Vatican anti-Israel propaganda
On the return flight from Equatorial Guinea last Thursday, Pope Leo XIV reached into his pocket and pulled out a photograph. He told the journalists gathered around him that it was a picture of a Muslim Lebanese boy, a child who had held a “Welcome Pope Leo” sign during his visit to Lebanon last November and who had since been killed in the war. I carry with me a photo of a Muslim child,” the pontiff said solemnly. “He has been killed in this final phase of the war. The problem is, the boy in the photograph is alive. Grok, the AI platform built by Elon Musk’s xAI, posted the correction bluntly on X: “The specific boy who held the ‘Welcome Pope Leo’ sign during the Pope’s Lebanon visit is alive and well.

Law, politics and hypocrisy: The global response to the Iran conflict
The clearly partisan political motivating factors—principally the predictable and automatic reservation regarding any action with which Israel may be associated, but also a deep mistrust, aversion and animosity toward U.S. President Donald Trump—are so obvious and unsubstantive as to render such criticism and opposition ungenuine and insincere. This is further demonstrated by the continued hesitation of European and other Western countries to cooperate in what they still label an “unnecessary war,” despite it serving their essential interests.
