I know what the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything is.

In Serbian "to 'lower' the ball" (spustiti loptu) means to lower tensions, in English "to 'drop' the ball" (ispustiti loptu) means to fail.
The second expression doesn't exist as such in Serbian, but if it did the difference between the two would be just one letter.

In 1962, President John F. Kennedy addressed the White House Conference on Conservation with a story that still feels remarkably relevant today.

A gardener warned that a tree wouldn't flower for a hundred years.

The response:
"Then we ought to plant it this afternoon."

More than six decades later, forest restoration remains an act of optimism.

Every tree planted today helps restore biodiversity, protect water resources, rebuild healthy soils, and capture carbon for generations to come.

The best time to plant that future is still this afternoon.

Thank you to the FIFA administration for suddenly this morning delivering what was owed to our players and coaching staff, for the Jordan National team’s accession to the final of the FIFA Arab Cup in Qatar last December.
This was funding that should have been received 8 months ago.
While this is a good development for our players, it does not change the serious concerns we in the football world have regarding the FIFA leadership, nor does it change what our FAs have been subjected to in the past.
It is symptomatic of those exact difficulties that we all face, and that are usually linked to the FIFA presidential elections. And it does not change my clear position concerning the leadership of FIFA: my FA and I will not endorse president Infantino, nor will we vote for him.

Fully agree.

DeMar DeRozan explains how Gregg Popovich treated basketball as almost the least important part of coaching

“There used to be days… We’d come in there thinking we had practice… But Coach Pop would show us Something going on in a third-world country… With 13-year-old kids being trained… To be killers with AK-47s.”

“He would say, we get to come here… and shoot a basketball… Make millions of dollars… Take care of your kids.”

“He used to do a lot of things… To put stuff in perspective all the time. That’s genuinely who he was… At all times.”

“It was always basketball last. You as a man first. Family, everything else before basketball.”

“He would tell us, this basketball stuff ain’t nothing. F— wins and losses. F— championships. What’s really important is: How are you doing? How’s your family? How are your kids?”

I've written some thoughts about what telepathy could look like by 2035 and how to get there:

American men held 7 million more jobs than women in the early 1990s. That gap is now zero, and the data on how it closed is grim.

Male labor force participation was 86.7% when tracking began in 1948. Today it sits at 67.2%, which means roughly 1 in 3 American men is neither working nor looking for work. That is the lowest level on record outside the pandemic.

The last 12 months compress the whole story. Jobs held by women grew by 298,000. Jobs held by men shrank by 142,000. Of the 1.2 million jobs the US added over the past two years, two-thirds went to women.

The mechanism is sector arithmetic. Healthcare and social assistance are carrying nearly all US job growth, and those fields skew heavily female. Manufacturing, construction, and transportation, the sectors that absorbed mid-skill men for a century, are flat or shrinking. The economy is still creating jobs. It has nearly stopped creating the kind men traditionally take.

This crossover happened twice before, during the Great Recession and right before Covid. Both times it reversed, because recessions hit male-heavy industries first and hiring snaps back. A former Richmond Fed economist who ran the current numbers says this time there is no recession driving it, which means there may be nothing to snap back from.

The fastest-growing work in America is caring for people. The fastest-shrinking work is making things. Every stay-at-home boyfriend is downstream of that trade.

My god. The U.K., man...

A journalist asked Arday about his fraud/plagiarism/issues, and Arday went to the police claiming that he was being harassed.

So, citing Arday likely lying about the journalist's actions hurting his mental health, they told the journalist to back off.

Your eyes have a glitch so dangerous that hospitals redesigned every operating room on Earth to work around it.

Stare at something red for two minutes, then look at a white wall. A green ghost floats in your vision. Harmless when it's you and a wall. Now make it a surgeon, six hours deep in an open chest cavity, and the ghost appears the moment they glance up from the blood. A phantom green blob hovering exactly where the scalpel goes next.

That ghost has been ruining surgeries since electric lighting arrived. Surgeons in white got blinded by glare, saw phantoms on their colleagues' gowns, and got headaches mid-operation while someone's heart sat open in front of them.

In 1914 a San Francisco surgeon named Harry Sherman snapped. He rebuilt his entire operating theater in "spinach green," walls, sheets, towels, gowns, all of it matched to the exact complement of hemoglobin. The ghosts vanished into the fabric. His eyes stopped fatiguing. He could suddenly tell healthy tissue from dying tissue by shades of red his colleagues literally could not see anymore.

Every green scrub on the planet descends from that one man's meltdown.

And red is the worst possible choice by every rule at once. It exhausts the exact cone cells surgery depends on, it summons the ghosts faster, and it makes blood invisible on the fabric, so a soaked, contaminated gown looks freshly laundered.

A telenovela dressed its doctors in the one color a century of eye science exists to defeat. Viewers with zero medical training felt something was wrong before they could explain it.

76 years ago, Ray Bradbury published "There Will Come Soft Rains," an apocalyptic short story about a time when we have wiped ourselves out—but our AI obliviously continues automating our empty smart homes.

Bradbury set the story on August 4, 2026.
