True.

Un personaje de cómic sueco (conocido en otros países como Silent Sam) que estuvo presente en tiras casi medio siglo (más o menos de 1920 a 1965) incluso apareciendo en alguna revista española de los años 30.

Homer Simpson podría ser la prueba de que prácticamente nada se inventa de 0 y que, si algo realmente nos sorprende a nivel artístico, es porque nos ha pillado muy jóvenes o de nuevas. Este es Adamson...

The cat in this photo only lives in central Chile. For more than 200 years, scientists thought it lived across eight countries. DNA tests in 2021 finally sorted it out. A team led by Brazilian biologist Fabio Nascimento compared skulls, fur patterns, climate data, and DNA from cats across South America. What everyone was calling the 'pampas cat' was actually five separate species that only look similar. The real colocolo, the one in these photos, lives in just one narrow strip of land: central Chile, west of the Andes mountains, from coastal deserts up to the forests around Santiago. Nowhere else on Earth. That strip is Chile's most biodiverse region and also its least protected. Most of it has been turned into vineyards, avocado farms, and towns. A 2025 paper on central Chile found that more colocolos and other small wild cats are killed by cars than by anything else. The cat is the size of a chubby housecat, around 3 to 7 kilograms. Its coat can look very different across its small range, from reddish with rust-colored stripes to a duller gray. It looks almost identical to the Andean mountain cat. The easiest way to tell them apart in a photo is nose color. The colocolo has a pink nose, the Andean cat has a black one. The colocolo still exists in the wild. But most of central Chile's natural land has been replaced by vineyards and avocado farms. A sighting like this feels rare because the habitat is vanishing.

Before and after..

An Illinois couple turned their entire property into a forest. From satellite view it looks like a solid green square. The trees block wind, kill noise, and create their own microclimate inside.

The new treatment literally grows new neural connections in the brain. Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have developed a groundbreaking molecule that delivers the powerful brain-repairing benefits of LSD — without any hallucinations. By simply swapping two atoms in the LSD structure (what lead researcher David E. Olson playfully called a molecular “tire rotation”), the team created JRT — a non-hallucinogenic “neuroplastogen.” This innovative compound keeps LSD’s remarkable ability to stimulate neuronal growth and repair damaged synapses, while eliminating the psychedelic effects that make traditional LSD too risky for many patients. The results are impressive: in preclinical studies, JRT increased dendritic spine density by 46% and was nearly 100 times more potent than ketamine as an antidepressant. Crucially, it avoided the gene expression patterns and behaviors linked to psychosis. This could be a game-changer for psychiatric care — especially for people with schizophrenia and other conditions involving synaptic loss and brain atrophy, who were previously excluded from psychedelic-based therapies.
