Last month, a Russian tanker, the Arctic Metagaz, was badly damaged by a sea drone attack off the coast of Malta.  On Tuesday, two Libyan officials speaking with the Associated Press said that the government based in Tripoli is hosting Ukrainian forces under a covert deal with the West.

Following the conflict, the US backed a government in Tripoli, while Khalifa Haftar rules in eastern Libya. The damaged Arctic Metagaz is headed…

Mojtaba Khamenei and his children. Photograph Source: Tasnim News Agency – CC BY 4.0 The United States has agreed with Iran to cease hostilities for two weeks. The illegal US and Israeli imposed war has not ended but has a break, although not in Lebanon which was supposed to be part of the deal.

A ceasefire to the Iran War entered its fourth day Saturday as Iranian and U.S. delegations met in Islamabad, Pakistan, to try negotiating a settlement to the conflict. These are the highest-level face-to-face talks between the two nations since Iran’s Islamic Revolution in 1979. Talks between the U.S. delegation — led by Vice President JD Vance, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner — and Iran’s negotiating team, led by Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, shifted into technical discussions in certain areas, Tasnim News Agency reported. Iranian media said another round of face-to-face talks…

President Donald Trump expressed support for the Iranian people while also threatening to wipe them out. “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” Trump posted April 7 on Truth Social, 12 hours before his deadline for Iran to make a deal or face a massive attack on civilian infrastructure.  Trump concluded his post: “God Bless the Great People of Iran!” His statement was one of many examples of times he has contradicted himself on the objectives and strategy for the war the U.S. and Israel launched Feb. 28. Here are five contradictions. War won or…

Home distilling. (NA)   Yesterday, in McNutt v. US Department of Justice, the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit struck down an 1868 federal law banning home alcohol distilleries. The court ruled that the law exceeded Congress’ authority under the taxing power, and also under the Necessary and Proper Clause. It’s an important win for constitutional federalism – as well as for home alcohol distillers! But it’s significance is limited by the fact that the court did not consider the possibility that the law is authorized by Congress’ power to regulate interstate commerce. The decision was written by prominent…

I have a love-hate relationship with TikTok, as I do social media in general. It is a great communication tool and allows scientists and science communicators to get their content out to a larger audience cheaply and easily. If you know how to use the internet and social media as a resource, you can find a video about almost any topic. I particularly love the “how to” videos.

The low bar of entry cuts both ways. As…
