"Did I go too far in writing my satire?" I wondered at the time. "Not nearly far enough," I conclude a couple years later.
What if we updated the Scopes Monkey Trial for the twenty-first century and it was about transgenderism instead of evolution? That's the premise of The Wise of Heart - a courtroom drama of biological science versus transgenderism. Check it out.

Statements by Vladimir Putin regarding the proposed Ukraine peace plans & the state of the SMO:
— There was no “draft peace treaty,” only a set of questions they suggested discussing
— Overall, we agree that this could serve as a basis for future arrangements
— Every word of the peace plan on Ukraine needs to be sat down and discussed seriously
— At present, some points of the plan sound ridiculous
— Russia is ready to formally confirm that it has no intention of attacking Europe
— Russia wants to reach an agreement with Ukraine, but legally this is impossible at the moment
— Russian and Ukrainian intelligence services have always maintained contact; the Abu Dhabi venue is actively used for POW matters
— The appearance of a U.S. representative at the Abu Dhabi talks was unexpected
— U.S. representatives will come to Russia next week
— Russia will cease hostilities only when the Ukrainian Armed Forces leave the occupied territories — or when we achieve our goals militarily
— Pokrovsk and Mirnograd are fully encircled, 70% of Pokrovsk is under Russian control
— The AFU are losing their most combat-capable units around Pokrovsk
— Army Group “East” has broken through the adversary’s defenses and is advancing rapidly in northern Zaporozhye oblast
— The collapse of the front for Ukraine is inevitable if the situation in Kupyansk repeats itself on other sectors
— Some Russian commanders say that some of the Ukrainian soldiers encircled on the banks of the Oskol River look like hobos
— Signing documents with the current Ukrainian leadership is pointless; they made a strategic mistake by being afraid to hold presidential elections

🚀🛰 Yesterday at 16:42 Moscow time, from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in the Arkhangelsk region, the Space Troops of the Russian Aerospace Forces carried out a successful launch of the light-class Angara-1.2 launch vehicle with military-purpose satellites.
At the scheduled time, the spacecraft were placed into their target orbits and taken under control by the ground-based facilities of the Aerospace Forces Space Troops. Stable telemetry communication has been established and maintained with the satellites, and their onboard systems are operating normally.
In total, this is already Russia’s 14th orbital space launch of 2025, and the 8th carried out in the interests of the Russian Ministry of Defense. In all honesty this are not big numbers at all, and lets hope the commercial flights using Russian launch systems pick up again after the removal of sanctions once the war ends. The new launchers, such as the Angara-5 family and the Soyuz-5 we talked about recently are ready for this.

🧊 New research shows ice is slippery because of electrical charges — not pressure and friction.
For almost 200 years, the prevailing explanation for ice’s slipperiness was that friction or pressure from a skate, boot, or tire melted a microscopic film of water on the surface, creating a lubricating layer. A new study from Saarland University has overturned that long-standing idea.
Instead, the true cause lies in the electric fields generated by molecular dipoles. When any object contacts ice, the partial charges in its own molecules interact with the highly ordered dipole arrangement of water molecules in the ice crystal. This electrostatic tug-of-war loosens the topmost layer of the ice lattice, transforming it into a thin, disordered, quasi-liquid film—without any need for heat or significant pressure.
Remarkably, this self-lubrication mechanism works even at temperatures approaching absolute zero, where thermal energy is virtually absent and conventional pressure-melting or frictional heating theories completely break down. In those extreme conditions, ice remains slippery simply because its surface molecules are electrically vulnerable.
The discovery fundamentally rewrites our understanding of one of nature’s most familiar phenomena. Beyond settling a centuries-old debate, it has immediate practical implications: from designing better winter tires and non-slip surfaces that actually work on ice, to engineering superior skis, ice skates, and even advanced nanomaterials that perform reliably in cryogenic environments.
By revealing the dominant role of intermolecular electric forces, the research opens entirely new avenues for controlling friction and adhesion at the molecular scale—potentially transforming fields from winter sports equipment to aerospace and nanotechnology.
