Imagine this: you're driving to work on an ordinary day when—BAM—you hit a pothole. Before you can catch your breath, you realize the road ahead is flooded, and to top it all off, there's a massive traffic jam.
Frustrated, you mutter a few curses at the city authorities.
Aren’t they supposed to fix these problems?

Aren’t they supposed to fix these problems?
But here’s the big question: why don’t things ever seem to get better?
Is it just incompetence, or could there be something else going on? Maybe—just maybe—the municipality doesn’t have enough money to fix these issues in the first place.
Is it just incompetence, or could there be something else going on? Maybe—just maybe—the municipality doesn’t have enough money to fix these issues in the first place.
Let’s break this down, starting with the basics.
Many people feel like shit these days, and much of it stems from imbalances in hormonal health and metabolism. Key hormones like testosterone, DHT, androgen receptors, and cortisol play crucial roles in our overall well-being. 
Modern lifestyles have created a pattern of modern deficiencies in these hormones for the average person, leading to modern diseases ( autoimmune disorders, cancer , diabetes etc ).
Then they make us believe everything is external and must be fixed from the outside, plus tell us to “eat healthy” (which isn’t enough—and if you don’t know what eating right actually means, it won’t move the needle).
Bam. There is it. US Department of Justice has filed - requesting divestiture of Chrome as a remedy for court's finding against Google. Android at risk, too. /1
As it relates to Android, here is how DOJ puts it. Forced divestiture is option that "swiftly, efficiently, and decisively strikes at the locus of some anticompetitive conduct at issue here" but we're ok with tight behavioral remedies with option to divest if they don't work. /2
Revenue sharing for search default and/or preferential treatment - dead. Google's tens of billions to Apple - dead (last I saw it's about 15% of Apple's profits). Reminder, this all needs to be argued and approved by Court and then will get appealed. Still far off. /3
India’s governance structure has grown complex, with 55 ministries & 54 departments leading to overlaps & inefficiencies. To meet the goals of Viksit Bharat by 2047, streamlining ministries & improving coordination can enhance efficiency & policy outcomes. Column in ET. 1/10
India’s Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs oversees urban development & government stationery—an odd relic from 1961’s Allocation of Business Rules. These quirks reveal the deeper issue of path dependency: once assigned, outdated tasks persist. 2/10 economictimes.indiatimes.com/opinion/et-com…
The Union government must streamline, while local governments expand. Union-level reforms should eliminate outdated rules, review 486 autonomous bodies with overlapping mandates, and disband obsolete institutions like the Salt Commissioner. 3/10

In 2025, 3 talents that have the potential to be the sport's biggest superstars for the next decade will be joining Chelsea.
Estevao Willian, Kendry Paez, and Aaron Anselmino.
— An analysis on each player. Strengths, weaknesses.
— Their best role in Maresca's system. Maximising said strengths, minimising weaknesses.
— Future development plans.

2025 will be a terrifying year for the league.
Guardiola's potentially last season, Phase 3 Postecoglou, and the most terrifying of them all?
Maresca's Chelsea with 3 generational talents in the midst.
Can you imagine if Chelsea do go all the way this season, and compete for the title until the very end - how TERRIFYING Phase 2 Maresca would be?
Making an already strong squad with versatile profiles even stronger.

And the most important thing is none of these players are "luxury", they are either signings in the areas Chelsea desperately need, or at the very least unique profiles that Chelsea appreciate.
That is what makes them especially terrifying. This is not like Real Madrid signing Mbappe.
This is like if Manchester City had signed Mohamed Salah after winning the treble.
— Estevao provides Chelsea an immense player in their weakest 2 attacking areas (RW/Right 8).
— Paez provides the same.
— Anselmino also addresses Chelsea's weakest area, centre back depth.

2/ Bodycam video and court documents show then-Chief of the State Capitol Police R. E. "Chip" Hawley played a major role in the repression of the protest

he’s 3 now, and he still thinks the phone is to call people
he’s really not captivated by screens — he’ll look for a minute or two, but he’s much more interested in physical play

— he loves to send voice notes (he signs off with “over and out”)
— he deigns to watch some climbing with us, like the olympics (he goes climbing every weekend)
otherwise, he builds pillow forts around us instead of watching

most no-screens parents do facetiming, and we don’t disallow it, but we also don’t seek it out
he’s on a video call less than once a month — and ‘on’ is a stretch, it’s more like we point the phone in his general direction as various people in his life watch at him at play

1️⃣ Meet Daniel Boone:
Daniel Boone was a legendary American frontiersman born in 1734. He explored and helped settle Kentucky, and his adventures made him famous. He was brave, skilled in hunting and tracking, and played a huge role in opening up the American frontier.

2️⃣ Discovering the Cumberland Gap:
1767, Daniel Boone was on a hunting trip, looking for deer and wild turkeys to feed his group. He followed trails used by Native Americans and stumbled upon the Cumberland Gap, a pass through the Appalachian Mountains that opened new frontiers.

3️⃣ After the Hunt:
After Boone secured food for his group, they set up camp, cooked their game, and prepared for the journey ahead. The group included skilled hunters, guides, and settlers, all determined to explore and settle new lands. Their unity was key to their success.

H275Y mutation in Canada's H5N1 poultry strains is a red flag.
This mutation, linked to Tamiflu resistance, doesn’t typically show up in North American wild bird influenza strains.
And it's likely driven by human intervention.

H275Y cripples the effectiveness of our main antiviral.
In a pandemic scenario, we lose one of the only tools to slow the virus in humans.

Historically, H275Y has been observed in specific strains of influenza
But its appearance in H5N1 poultry strains in Canada is novel
The low pathogenicity avian influenza strains found in birds in N America rarely carry this mutation
The fact that it’s now appearing in farmed poultry suggests an interaction between human antiviral use & viral evolution.
