Only seven people in the world have seen the “greenest green.” No printer can print the color, and no camera can photograph it. No pigment or dye in the shade can exist. “Olo,” named for the combination of cone cells the color stimulates, has been described as a highly saturated teal shade. Researchers at U.C. Berkeley generated it by using lasers to target a single type of retinal cell in a manner that does not occur naturally.
Humans perceive the world with three primary colors, not because the world is fundamentally composed of three colors but because our retinas typically have three kinds of color-perceiving cone cells. Each cone cell responds to a range of wavelengths within the visible-light spectrum—roughly corresponding to red, blue, and green. Our eyes are constantly moving: when we look at a blade of grass, or a clear blue sky, or a fire truck, some combination of each of the three types of cones are being stimulated.
But what does it mean for us to see a new color, even just a few of us? Rivka Galchen talks to an array of color experts, and considers what we can learn from the prospect of a new hue—about our visual-processing system, and about the nature of color itself: https://t.co/tvQRsBFOCD
In 1973, when Donald Trump was not yet 30, and an ambitious outer-borough real-estate developer, he met Roy Cohn. Among the lessons the future President would learn from the ruthless lawyer: the facts could always be drowned out by strident counterclaims, the pyrotechnics of publicity were more important than the law, one should always avoid a paper trail. “Roy, I think, really felt this sort of pride of ownership in Trump,” one of Cohn’s relatives said. “He’d created Trump. He had saved Trump from ruin after they met. And he felt this odd attraction to him until the end.” Read an excerpt from Kai Bird and Susan Goldmark’s new biography of the man who taught Trump everything: https://t.co/R1hUCQ1ijn
Tatsächlich hält nicht nur dieses von der Klimaunion beauftragte Gutachten Reiches "Heizungsgesetz" für verfassungswidrig - ich kenne überhaupt niemanden in der Zunft, der das anders sieht.

Eine spannende Darlegung der iranischen Strategie des asymmetrischen Krieges. Eine Strategie, die Trump, Hegseth und die ganzen US Militär-Granden völlig überrascht hat.
Ein Kandidat der AfD für den Münchner Stadtrat wird von den Behörden von der Liste gestrichen. Jetzt kommt der Grund heraus: Der Mann wurde 2005 wegen Mordes verurteilt, weil er seine Nachbarin erdrosselt hatte. #SZPlus https://t.co/zin1QDpmSd
Wusstet ihr, dass Noah Krieger (echter Name Murad Dadaev), AfD-Mitglied, der Bruder von Sulejman Dadaev ist? Dieser wurde 2009 für seine Beteiligung an der Ermordung des Kadyrow-Kritikers Umar Israilov in Österreich zu 19 Jahren Haft verurteilt.

😜 Career's over.
Not long did that Kadyrovite mug run wild. 36-year-old Noah Krieger - German politician from the AFD party…..also an FSB snitch.
The Germans finally decided not to tempt fate….send him back to the swamp.
Today's important research update: Even cats think they're liquids. That story and more of the best from @ScienceMagazine and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: https://t.co/gVhR6oiSTq
Biden & Harris will not beat Trump & J.D. Vance. @AOC & @harrisonjaime & @FLOTUS can say whatever they want, but it’s idiotic to run Biden on the top of the ticket and lose Congress, too. @jonstewart@Jason@jonfavs understand this. Why the fuck doesn’t the @DNC?
