Views of just one of the wildfires ripping across Ontario, Canada yesterday. Similar fire behavior is expected today. Fires in Minnesota and Canada have made air quality across the east coast of the United States “unsuitable for everyone.” Hundreds of thousands of acres have burned in the last 48 hours.

What’s hidden underneath Antarctica? New episode of HUGE* If True out now! youtu.be/XfGEMCb6BQU In 1970, a team of Soviet scientists started drilling. For 28 years, they kept going… until after nearly 4,000 meters… they suddenly stopped. Because they’d found something unimaginable: Liquid water. A secret lake, down below all this ice, that had been completely sealed off from the rest of the world for 15 million years. How? And… is there something alive in there? Creatures that have been evolving separately from the rest of the planet for 15 million years? Scientists started searching for more of these secret lakes, and as they did, they realized there is way more going on under Antarctica than we ever thought. I needed to know the truth about Earth’s most remote continent. So I’ve come all the way to Antarctica to show you what’s really happening down below this ice. And exactly what they discovered when they finally broke inside…

I just got done watching the SOTU and this part of the night was so sweet 😭 this stoic professional military man being given our country’s highest honor and he lets his guard down to share a sweet moment with his wife who is absolutely beaming with pride 🥹

I’m happy for whoever got the $15 million in State Department bounty cash I guess. But did you stop to think what if Benz wanted to go dancing that wkend

This is a new low. California is forcing Tahoe Truckee Unified to compete in CA instead of Nevada, despite this being impractical and unsafe for athletes whose seasons will move from Spring to Winter in a snowy area. The reason: Nevada doesn't allow males in female sports. For 40 years, Tahoe Truckee Unified has chosen to compete in Nevada because sports like soccer and tennis are played in the spring there. In California, these are winter sports, which is impractical in snowy areas like Tahoe and presents travel safety concerns. Yet the state has overridden this local decision for no other reason than to preserve the ability for biological males at the district’s schools to compete in the female division. This will decimate several sports, and schools in the district may not even be able to field teams.

I am unreasonably excited about self-driving. It will be the first technology in many decades to visibly terraform outdoor physical spaces and way of life. Less parked cars. Less parking lots. Much greater safety for people in and out of cars. Less noise pollution. More space reclaimed for humans. Human brain cycles and attention capital freed up from “lane following” to other pursuits. Cheaper, faster, programmable delivery of physical items and goods. It won’t happen overnight but there will be the era before and the era after.

At HHS, we’re making sure Head Start also means a healthy start.
