Humanity is closer to destroying itself, according to atomic scientists who revealed on Tuesday that the famous “Doomsday Clock” was set at 85 seconds to midnight — the closest it has been in the nearly 80-year history of the clock.The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, a science-oriented advocacy group, made the announcement on Tuesday, metaphorically rating how close humankind is to annihilating itself with human-made advancements. Midnight represents the point at which humans will have made Earth unlivable.“It is the determination of the bulletin's science and security board that humanity has not made sufficient progress on the existential risks that endanger us all. We thus move the clock forward,” said Alexandra Bell, president and CEO of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. “The risks we face from nuclear weapons, climate change and disruptive technologies are all growing. Every second counts and we are running out of time. It is a hard truth, but this is our reality.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In 2014, the Islamic terrorist organization Boko Haram kidnapped 276 girls from the small town of Chibok, Nigeria. One of the young women, Naomi Adamu, and her friends smuggled a Bible into captivity, and for seven years the Scriptures were a source of their strength to resist. Upon the hostages' release, Wall Street Journal reporters Drew Hinshaw and Joe Parkinson interviewed Naomi and many others for their book Bring Back Our Girls, and wrote a 2021 cover story for Christianity Today in which they shared the role that their faith played in their captivity. As Boko Haram continues to kidnap and displace innocent people in Nigeria and religious conflict abounds, this piece offers an account of the ways that God can be at work in the darkest places.

The internet loves to dunk on the Food Pyramid, but the real story of nutrition guidance is stranger, older, and way more practical than a viral meme. We start at the beginning—the Farmer's Bulletin and wartime “Basic Seven”—to show how scarcity, highways, and changing supply shaped what Americans were told to eat. Then we follow the guidance as it morphs into the Basic Four, the 1980s Food Wheel, the grain-heavy Pyramid, and finally the cleaner, more intuitive MyPlate. Along the way we call out the quiet forces behind the posters: industry lobbying, marketing muscle, and the gulf between advice and what families can actually afford.From there, we take a hard look at the headline-grabbing upside-down pyramid packed with steak, butter, and whole milk. It's a masterclass in getting attention, not a tool for putting dinner on the table. We unpack saturated fat limits, why placement matters, and where whole foods shine versus where nuance gets lost. We also spotlight policies that move the needle, like programs that double benefits for fruits and vegetables—real incentives that measurably improve health and stretch budgets.If you care less about internet fights and more about what to cook tonight, we've got you. We talk templates that work on a tight budget—beans and lentils, frozen veg, oats and rice, eggs, canned fish, yogurt—and why simple, repeatable meals beat perfect plans. We even tip our hat to Canada's food rainbow for clarity and balance. Come for the history, stay for the takeaways you can use this week, and tell us which food guide actually helps you eat better.Enjoyed this deep dive?

Bulletin board material ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship game?

Au menu de l'actualité :

On n'a ni gardé les cochons, ni été en classe ensemble… et pourtant, je sais un truc certain sur votre passé à l'école, que ce soit en France, en Belgique ou au Canada, en primaire ou au lycée, qu'importe ! Vos profs vous ont forcément fait cours sur Léonard de Vinci. Pourquoi ? Peut-être pour se simplifier la vie ! En effet, la Renaissance a compté une foule d'artistes, peintres, sculpteurs, architectes et inventeurs de génie. Mais Léonard, sans être le meilleur dans chaque catégorie, avait un atout. Il les a toutes essayées. Donc, en un seul nom, en une seule vie, votre maître ou maîtresse pouvait vous faire comprendre presque toute la Renaissance. Mais moi je pose la question qui dérange : est-ce que Léonard était particulièrement bon ? Ou est-ce que dans chaque domaine, c'était l'éternel second, le touche-à-tout qui n'approfondit et ne finit jamais son travail ? Pour le savoir, on va creuser un aspect de sa vie : ses inventions !Bonne écoute !
