Unclear how much the Iran attack will escalate. But what is clear is that Netanyahu has been seeking this. This man has to step down asap.

We understand perturbative string theory well. In our universe, the correct theory of quantum gravity (call it string theory, if you want) is non-perturbative. We don't understand it very well yet.
If incomplete understanding=crisis, then every area of science is always in crisis

One of the most common misconceptions about nuclear waste is that it cannot be safely contained. But in fact, scientists agree that geological repositories are a safe and passive way to do so, without need for human intervention over millions of years.

Does not happen much, but there are quite some things in this video of Sabine Hossenfelder I agree with. (Also many statements about how high energy physics works, I disagree with). In any case, it makes you understand better why Sabine often works in offensive mode.

Why are all the takes on the tension between Russia and NATO so simplistic? Either it is claimed that a Russian victory caused by lack of NATO support means more war in Europe, or the claim is that NATO support for Ukraine means WWIII. Reminds me of Covid times...

Was Hamas in the hospital?

“I’m shocked we’re still having this conversation. Israelis еxecuted tens of people point blank including one of our colleagues and his mother. To say that this is a strategic targeting of Hamas is an insult to our intellect and humanity”

a detailed and extremely painful to read description of the deliberate targeting of children in this war:

;...They had sniper shots to the brain. They were seven or eight years old,” she said.'
