The General Sherman Tree. By volume, it’s the largest living tree on Earth and is estimated to be 2,500 years old!
Despite their importance old growth forests continue to be logged globally. It's time to protect the irreplaceable.

India lost 668,400 hectares of forest in just 5 years, ranking 2nd highest globally. We are burning our future for a few extra miles of concrete. This isn't development; it’s an ecological foreclosure on the next generation. @PMOIndia @moefcc #InternationalDayofForests #SaveForests #NoAnimalsNoVote downtoearth.org.in/wildlife-biodi…

Researchers from Spain and China achieved a significant advance in Alzheimer’s research by developing nanoparticles that clear toxic brain plaque, a key contributor to the disease, and reverse memory loss in mice.
Published in Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, the study showed that three injections of these nanoparticles reduced harmful amyloid beta proteins in the brain by up to 60% within an hour.Remarkably, mice with severe memory and cognitive impairments regained normal behavior within six months.
The treatment not only cleared brain plaque but also repaired the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which protects the brain and clears waste but becomes impaired in Alzheimer’s, allowing harmful substances to accumulate.
Acting as a “supramolecular drug,” the nanoparticles restore the brain’s natural waste-clearing system by activating the LRP1 protein. This improved blood flow, reduced inflammation, and supported brain healing. While still in animal testing, this approach suggests a new path for Alzheimer’s treatment, focusing on enhancing the body’s defenses rather than just targeting toxic proteins.
If successful in humans, it could transform the fight against Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases.

Incredible reporting from the WSJ on how the DOJ’s antitrust division is being gutted by a pay-to-play system. Just more betrayal for anyone who thought this administration would look out for the little guy. At the heart of the scandal is Mike Davis. He’s a lobbyist who reportedly charges corporate giants like Walmart, HPE, and Live Nation $300,000 a month to bypass career experts and get mergers approved. He’s also a full-time aggressive shitposter on X. According to sworn testimony, Davis threatened to destroy the job of the DOJ’s antitrust head that he had previously vouched for and called a “good friend” (Gail Slater). This was because she wouldn’t sign off on a settlement for his client, HPE. It worked. Slater was ousted just last month, her deputies were fired, and Davis got his deal approved. When Slater posted her resignation with "great sadness," Davis’s public response on X was “Good riddance.” He’s even taken credit for her removal in other posts. This is how he treats "friends" who stand in the way of his $300k-a-month clients. The article details a pattern of corruption. In the Compass real estate merger, Davis went over the heads of investigators to kill a routine probe into a company that controls 20% of the housing market. The merger combined the #1 (Compass) and #2 (Anywhere Real Estate) largest brokerages in the country by sales volume. The previous administration brought a massive lawsuit to break up the Live Nation-Ticketmaster monopoly. Instead of a courtroom battle to lower ticket prices, the deal was backchanneled at the White House while the DOJ’s own trial lawyers were kept in the dark — they didn't even see the term sheet until the judge did. It was a total surrender, again orchestrated by Mike Davis. This is exactly what the swamp looks like. We’re told this is a populist movement, but the DOJ is currently operating as a private concierge service for the highest bidder. People like Mike Davis can threaten public officials into submission, and the American consumer is the one who pays the price through higher costs and less competition. If you’re wondering why your bills are going up and monopolies are getting stronger, look no further than swamp creatures like Mike Davis. Apparently the DOJ’s integrity is for sale.
