A horse pulling a carriage in New York City’s Central Park collapsed and died Tuesday evening near Strawberry Fields, according to witnesses and animal welfare advocates. The incident occurred around 7:30 p.m., with the horse reportedly dying minutes after collapsing.

The death comes just days before supporters of Ryder’s Law are set to rally at City Hall in support of legislation that would phase out the city’s horse-drawn carriage industry. The bill is named after Ryder, a carriage horse that collapsed while working in Manhattan in 2022 and later died from his injuries.

Northern White Rhino: Officially extinct in the wild.

Last male dead. Only 2 females remain

A creature that endured 55 million years—ice ages, asteroids, entire epochs—wiped out by human greed, poaching, and destroyed habitats.

We failed them.🦏💔

This is outrageous.

A small town in Michigan did everything right to stop OpenAI & Oracle from building a $16 billion data center in their town.

The people of Saline Township flooded their council meeting, put up signs all over town, and convinced their officials to reject it.

The officials voted against the data center 4-1, and that should have been the end. But two days later the developers sued, and the town couldn’t afford to fight back in court.

We are not a free nation when billion-dollar corporations can take over the land of our communities and towns. We are a captive nation ruled by corporations and billionaires.

The EPA has moved to allow coal-fired power plants to dump heavy metals and other contaminants untreated in our stream and rivers.

The agency says rule they're rolling back, which protects our waterways from pollution, is too costly.

The Trump administration has repealed drinking water limits for four different PFAS forever chemicals.

Water providers will no longer have to test or filter for the pollutants.

The Trump administration has scrapped all protections for a critically endangered whale species known as the Rice's whale, allowing oil and gas drilling in their natural habitat.

The regulatory meeting dooming the 50 remaining Rice's whales lasted just 15 minutes.

I was on a train in Tokyo. We stopped between stations. Announcement in Japanese, then in English: "We apologize for the delay. We will resume shortly."

The delay was maybe 3 minutes. Not a big deal.

When the train started moving again, another announcement: "We sincerely apologize for the delay. We were stopped for 3 minutes and 20 seconds. This is unacceptable. Thank you for your patience."

Three minutes and twenty seconds. They measured it exactly. And called it unacceptable.

When I got off at my stop, there were station staff on the platform bowing and handing out delay certificates.

I took one out of curiosity. It was an official document stating that the train had been delayed by 3 minutes and 20 seconds, signed and stamped.

The staff member said in English "for your employer. So they know the delay was not your fault."

I said I'm a tourist, I don't need it. He looked confused. "But the delay affected you. You deserve an apology."

Three minutes. They were treating a three-minute delay like a major incident.

Later I mentioned this to a Japanese friend. They said "oh yes, delay certificates are normal. Trains are supposed to be exactly on time. If they are late, they must apologize."

I said three minutes isn't late, it's nothing. My friend said "in Japan, three minutes is late. On time means on time. Not approximately on time."

They said the train company probably investigated why there was a 3-minute delay. "They will find the cause and fix it so it doesn't happen again."

I kept the certificate. It's framed in my apartment now. A reminder that somewhere in the world, people care about three minutes.

How do you read things like this and not want them GONE

[Dr. Rhonda Patrick @foundmyfitness]

Fruits & vegetables likely account for a majority of people's dietary microplastic and PFAS intake.

What’s frustrating is that this isn’t something you can just rinse off. In many cases, the contamination appears to be taken up into the food itself.

Organic may reduce some of that exposure, but even organic farms can be affected when they’re near contaminated land or water.

Should you stop eating produce? No. We should be much more upset about how widespread these chemicals have become, especially when children are being exposed through foods we otherwise consider healthy.

One practical thing I think is worth considering is beta-glucan. There’s some evidence it may help support the excretion of PFAS, and given how unavoidable these exposures are becoming, that may be a useful tool, especially for families who can’t realistically eliminate every source.

Residents living within a half-mile of new AI data centers are reporting dizziness, nausea, vertigo, and sleep disruption from sound they can't hear.

The source is infrasound. Frequencies below 20 Hz sit beneath the floor of human hearing but not beneath human physiology. The body's vestibular system registers low-frequency vibration directly, triggering the same response as motion sickness. The cooling systems and gas turbines running these facilities 24/7 produce exactly this range.

Noise ordinances were written for audible noise. Decibel measurements start at 20 Hz. Infrasound doesn't appear. A 200-megawatt data center with tens of thousands of tons of cooling equipment can run around the clock with zero measurable noise violation under any existing zoning law in the country.

The developers know this.

They're not randomly selecting sites. Rural jurisdictions get targeted because they lack the legal staff, the engineering expertise, and the regulatory framework to mount any challenge. These facilities require new transmission interconnects that take 5 to 10 years to process through utilities. Building behind-the-meter with gas turbines bypasses that queue. Speed to power, zero delay, zero grid dependency.

Households who bought before the announcement have two options. Sell at a price no buyer will pay, or stay and live with symptoms their family doctor has no framework to diagnose as infrastructure-related.

That cost never appears in a hyperscaler's earnings call.

The regulation will catch up eventually. It always does. But the facilities will already be running. The permits will grandfather everything in place.

The turbines don't stop when the legal framework finally notices them.
