Artemis II has reached its maximum distance from Earth. On the far side of the Moon, 252,756 miles away, Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy have now traveled farther from Earth than any humans in history and now begin their journey home. Before they left, they said they hoped this mission would be forgotten, but it will be remembered as the moment people started to believe that America can once again do the near-impossible and change the world. Congratulations to this incredible crew and the entire NASA team, our international and commercial partners, but this mission isn’t over until they’re under safe parachutes, splashing down into the Pacific.

Owls are just cats with wings

Recent research from Kyoto University reveals that female dogs actively assess human competence—while male dogs do not. Female dogs clearly prefer approaching humans who successfully complete tasks, such as opening food containers, over those who fail. In contrast, male dogs show no preference and treat both competent and incompetent humans equally. These findings, published in a study titled "Female dogs evaluate levels of competence in humans," indicate that female dogs exhibit a more advanced form of social evaluation, particularly when food or resources are involved. They pay closer attention to human actions and their outcomes, using this information to decide who is the most reliable partner for obtaining rewards. This competence bias suggests female dogs are more sensitive to efficiency and social results than previously thought. For dog owners, it means your female companion isn't just loyal—she's also quietly evaluating your ability to provide. These results highlight an intriguing sex difference in canine social cognition, potentially evolved to enhance females' chances of securing resources and survival.

When a crow dies, other crows often hold what people call a “funeral”: they gather around the body to investigate what happened. Researchers, including teams from the University of Washington, have documented this behavior—known as crow thanatology. Rather than mourning, the crows are assessing risk. They study the scene to identify potential threats (such as predators or poisons), learn which locations or situations are dangerous, and share that knowledge with the rest of their group—improving the flock’s chances of survival.

Israel has just bombed central Beirut. This is minutes away from the UN, The British Embassy, The European Delegation, and the Lebanese Parliament: it is the heart of the capital. This is the equivalent of bombing Whitehall. The terrorist state of Israel must be disarmed.
