The executive director of the Xerces Society, Scott Black, recalls summertime driving across Nebraska and Iowa with corn growing to the edge of shopping mall parking lots, climbing slopes that once supported trees, and stretching to the horizon in every direction. He also recalls something more subdued and difficult to describe: how spotless his rental car’s windshield was after driving for several hours. No insects smudged. Not even a trace. That absence is instantly apparent to anyone old enough to have driven through the American Midwest forty years ago. Back then, cleaning the glass was a necessary stop on a…

A drone drops to roughly ten feet above the ground, hovers for a short while, and starts firing somewhere over a stripped hillside in Myanmar. Seed pods, not bullets. At two per second, tiny, biodegradable capsules containing germinated seeds and a pocket of nutrients are launched into the ground. The entire process takes a few minutes. It would take months for a human crew using shovels to cover the same area.This is how industrial reforestation currently appears, or at least how it is beginning to appear. The foundation of BioCarbon Engineering, which is currently known as Dendra Systems, was a…
When you are informed that something dangerous is getting closer to you, a certain kind of uneasiness sets in. It doesn’t rush or make an announcement, but rather advances season by season and year by year. In general, mosquitoes and the diseases they transmit are like that. Arriving in places with no true cultural memory of it used to seem like someone else’s problem, the kind of thing you read about in dispatches from Southeast Asia or sub-Saharan Africa.Every year, mosquito-borne illnesses kill over a million people and infect about 700 million, or nearly one in ten people on the…
Scientists once referred to a region north of Greenland as the “Last Ice Area.” The idea that this frozen redoubt would endure even as the rest of the Arctic softened and retreated was conveyed by the name. A ship could be completely engulfed by ridges formed by centuries of pressure on thick, unyielding ancient ice. It was meant to live. It’s not surviving anymore.Over the past few years, the concerning loss of Arctic sea ice has changed from a warning to a record. The Arctic’s winter maximum extent, which is the annual peak of ice cover prior to the start…
They had the back doors propped open. Nancy’s purse and cell phone remained inside. She failed to attend church. That’s how it all began: the routine details of a typical morning that abruptly transformed into something that no one in the Guthrie family has been able to comprehend since.Nancy Guthrie, 84, was reported missing from her Tucson, Arizona, home on February 1, 2026. The disappearance was categorized as a suspected kidnapping by the Pima County Sheriff’s Department. Soon after, the FBI joined the investigation. The family of one of America’s most well-known television journalists is still waiting for someone to…
Rarely do album announcements have real emotional resonance instead of deliberate hype. The majority feel like news disguised as marketing. This one was not like the others. Something clicked when Sublime announced on Instagram last week that their first new album in thirty years, titled Until The Sun Explodes, would be released on June 12. Jakob Nowell, the 30-year-old son of the band’s late co-founding singer Bradley Nowell, wrote the title track as a letter to his deceased father. Moments that feel this particular, this intimate, or this truly unsolvable are rare in the music business.Two months prior to the…
On a Sunday afternoon in late March, the eighteenth fairway at Memorial Park in Houston was noisier than it should have been. “Gary, Gary, Gary” was chanted by the crowd as they pressed up against the ropes, making the kind of noise typically associated with major championship closing holes. For a brief moment, the whole story of how Gary Woodland arrived at this specific fairway on this specific day made the noise seem perfectly proportionate as he approached them with his arms eventually extended and his eyes wet.

Sana’a’s announcement on Saturday was not shocking, but it carried a lot of weight. The Houthi movement in Yemen, which controls a large portion of the country’s north and northwest from the capital they took in 2014, acknowledged that they had fired a barrage of ballistic missiles at what they claimed to be strategic Israeli military locations. A second wave arrived a few hours later. Both were intercepted, according to the Israeli military. No casualties. However, the message was unambiguous and purposeful: the group that had been observing from the sidelines for a month had made the decision to intervene.For…
On an IPL night, Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium exudes a certain energy due to the floodlights catching the dust above the outfield, the crowded stands three hours before the toss, and the noise that begins long before the first ball is bowled. That electricity has already been delivered two days into the 2026 edition. Even though the Indian Premier League has been doing this for nineteen years, the first weekend produced enough talking points to fill a season’s worth of post-match panels, as well as back-to-back successful chases of over 200 runs and records broken in consecutive evenings.The competition got underway…
A well-known ritual took place somewhere between the listening party livestream on Thursday night—masked wrestlers in a four-pointed ring, quiet and geometric, the kind of image only Ye would choose—and the album’s eventual early Saturday morning release on streaming services. Fans updated their apps. Twitter was split. Group conversations broke out. For the hundredth time, the crucial query reappeared: is this a return or merely a tease?Kanye West’s 18-track album Bully, which was released on March 28, 2026, is actually better than most people anticipated. The qualifications are real, so it’s important to make that clear before they arrive. With…
