[ad_1] Trump and the Macrons at Versailles. (Screengrab from CSPAN.) Donald Trump’s visit to Évian and Versailles offered this Geneva resident an unusually close look at the American president as the local press reported on all the ins and outs of his drop-by. While much of the commentary has focused on the G7 and the very thin memorandum of understanding with Iran, what stood out was Trump’s conduct.

Trump turned…

[ad_1] Story at-a-glance Four hormones most adults can benefit from are progesterone, thyroid hormone T3, DHEA, and pregnenolone Around the ages of 11 and 12, right before puberty, the hormonal profiles of boys and girls are relatively similar. They produce about the same amounts of pregnenolone and progesterone. This is also the time when thyroid hormone levels are the highest they’ll ever be, and it’s the time in a person’s life cycle when their mortality is the lowest.

[ad_1] The Lineage Fire in Boyle Heights. Photograph by Chelsea Mosher. This week in the Anthropocene A black cloud hangs heavy, casting a dark, ominous shadow. The air is suffocating and smells of burnt plastic and chemicals. It is Day 7 of a raging fire in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles, where a 500,000-square-foot refrigerated storage facility housing 85 million pounds of food is in flames. An electrical fire that reportedly erupted beneath the building’s solar panels quickly spread to its dense, foam-insulated steel walls, making it difficult for crews to extinguish. Boyle Heights, like many working class…

[ad_1] Trump doing his whining and moaning routine in Pennsylvania this week. (Screengrab from video posted to X.) All my means are sane, my motive and my object mad. ― Herman Melville, Moby-Dick or, The Whale I remember when Woodward and Bernstein’s description in Final Days of Nixon wandering the halls of the West Wing late at night having drunken conversations with the portraits of FDR, Jefferson and Lincoln, seemed such an inconceivable account of a president who’d lost his marbles that many people assumed they’d made it up, though their source was Tricia’s husband Edward Cox.  [Nixon got looped…

Even though the suspect posed no threat, prosecutors say Brown entered the holding cell and shocked him with a Taser at least six times, including in the genitals, causing injuries that required…

[ad_1] Since launching its illegal invasion against Ukraine, Russia has developed a category of narratives aimed at covering the war according to its preferences. However, Russia’s Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI) campaign has recently abandoned even the slightest pretence of credibility. While the Ukrainian military is regaining a tactical military advantage and Russian successes on the battlefield are dwindling, Moscow’s disinformation machine is trying to meet the need to show off military victories to its public opinion and partners, even if they are widely exaggerated. Fewer territories, more pathos For the first time since 2023, Ukraine is recapturing more…
