Missing Airman Raises Concerns That Iran Could Gain Leverage Over the U.S.

It would be useful if the NYT explicitly stated that the pilot, if captured, would be a POW, that there are laws governing how POWs can be treated, that respect for international law on war shapes how the enemy approaches it, and this is why the US conduct of this illegal war has been so dangerous.

AI doesn’t just “run in the cloud”—it devours power and water like a desert parasite. Vast data centers are strip-mining the grid, draining aquifers, and supercharging emissions—all so tech giants can cash in while selling you “innovation.” It’s environmental vandalism at scale.

The Olympics Has a New Sex Testing Policy. The Evidence Doesn’t Add Up I’ve spent over 10 years obsessed with so-called “gender verification” tests. Proponents claim they have history and science on their side. They don’t.

The problem that every attempt at athletic sex testing runs into is that it's trying to force a strict binary onto something that is inherently a multidimensional continuum with overlapping distributions.
