The wonder of the online world was built by a community of eccentric volunteers. Can it survive the A.I. models it helped train? In a world where state policy is shaped by A.I. hallucination, it's cute to remember that consulting Wikipedia was once seen as irresponsible. Schools banned its use, and journalists were shamed for credulously repeating its hoaxes. "Reads like Wikipedia" was a literary insult.

Gov. Newsom signed AB 2599, requiring large companies to disclose ties to slavery. Eli Steele argues this White guilt-driven law ignores California's failing schools and test scores.

California Gov. Newsom's "No Vigilantes Act" targeting ICE and federal agents was struck down by a unanimous Ninth Circuit panel citing the Supremacy Clause and federal law.

Donald Trump says the MOAB, or "mother of all bombs," could figure prominently in any new airstrike plans targeting Iran and the IRGC sites.

A new era of spaceflight could save astronauts time and cut exposure to cosmic radiation as they rocket to Mars--and beyond. Just before the Artemis II crew began its historic slingshot around the moon this past April, NASA announced plans to build Space Reactor-1 Freedom. SR-1, the first-ever nuclear-reactor-powered interplanetary spacecraft, is meant to fly an uncrewed mission to Mars by the end of 2028, arriving in 2029. A successful mission would herald a new era of more efficient, potentially faster spaceflight--saving astronauts time and cutting their exposure to harmful cosmic radiation as they travel to Mars and beyond. "You wake up to that announcement, and it puts a big smile on your face," says Simon Middleburgh, co-director of the Nuclear Futures Institute at Bangor University in Wales. Running a nuclear reactor in space may sound like lunacy, but it's not.

In unraveling the pathways by which movement helps the body, we could develop medicines that offer some of the same benefits, without the workout. We all know exercise is good for us. It builds muscle, strengthens bones, lowers blood pressure, and boosts mood. By deciphering how movement benefits the body, researchers hope to develop medicines that can offer some of the same perks--without the workout. The idea isn't to replace exercise but to bring its upsides to people who struggle with frailty, disability, or chronic illness. It will take a lot of experimentation to untangle the myriad pathways by which exercise promotes health.

Decoding how animals communicate could reveal the inner lives of other species--and give humans a window onto how they see the world. Humans are far from the only species with a gift for gab, and our furry, feathered, and finned friends could have a lot to tell us. Decoding how animals communicate with one another could offer a window into the inner lives of other species and help humans realize that "animals are sentient creatures who think, who have hopes and dreams of their own," says Con Slobodchikoff, the founder of Zoolingua, a company working on dog-to-human speech. Teasing all this out is complex. To decipher howls, squeaks, and clicks, researchers must match the creatures making sounds with what's happening around them. Prairie dogs, for example, utter a different series of yips when a coyote approaches than when a hawk is nearby.
