Researchers are optimistic about psychedelic drugs as potential treatments for depression and mood disorders, despite pushback having stalled the field

Sounding the alarm - if MDMA & psilocybin are approved by FDA, most MDMA & psilocybin could still be scheduled I, wildly inconsistent with the science. @Ravarora1 & I lay out the case for why we need to avoid a "bifurcated schedule" that only reschedules the commercial FDA approved product.

I've attempted to map everything in oncology in a public website and open source repo for all.
The site is trying to get all cancers, products, technologies, bottlenecks, people, startup opportunities with 1000+ ideas for upgrading the field.
If you have a loved one with cancer and you are technical or can engineer, go take a look, file improvement requests or bugs or help with the open repo and make this the best open and free info resource for individuals, researchers and educational use.
This should save people time, aid AI oncology projects and generate positive action. If you are not technical just complain in this thread about broken or annoying or things you want and I'll fix them live.
Some of the interesting pages:
Treatments: onco.cc/drugs
A gallery of the molecules being used onco.cc/molecules/
And targets: onco.cc/targets/
The technologies in oncology: onco.cc/technologies/
1100 ideas for helping oncology: onco.cc/ideas/

Cancer by type: onco.cc/cancers/
Institutional rankings: onco.cc/institutions/
The startups: onco.cc/startups/
Heros and heroines : onco.cc/heroes/
Key medical people: onco.cc/people/
Here is the project roadmap: onco.cc/roadmap/
Models and data sets: onco.cc/models/
There are other views as well, take a browse.
Try making a PR if you have an upgrade to this on the repo here: github.com/judegomila/OnCo
If you are biologically/medically minded and something is wrong, file a bug as well or say on the thread and we will get it fixed live.
If this is a useful project star the repo and help get it calibrated.
I've tried to add some other languages but I cannot speak them so tell me if that doesnt work well.
I believe we will crack oncology and having total information dominance is key to the problem.
Let the feedback flow!

🦔AI companies are bulk-buying rare books, scanning them through high-speed machines that cut the spines off, and shredding the originals. A service called ISBNdb facilitates orders of up to a million books and keeps buyers anonymous. Pre-2022 books are premium because they're free of AI-generated text. A federal judge ruled the practice is fair use because eliminating the original means only one copy exists at a time. Anthropic hired the former head of Google Books partnerships to obtain "all the books in the world."
My Take
This got to me. A bookseller told 404 Media that rare books with almost no surviving copies are being fed into this pipeline. Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email.
ISBNdb's website literally says "'AI company destroys two million books' is not a headline that generates sympathy," and they still built an entire business around making it happen quietly. They offer NDAs as a feature. They coach clients to call it "digital preservation."
I've covered AI companies scraping the internet, torrenting libraries, and stealing music. This is worse because it's irreversible. You can re-upload a website. You can reprint a bestseller. You can't replace the last three copies of an 18th-century botanical text once someone shreds them for training data. And the judge said it's legal. So it's going to accelerate.
"We shred rare books and offer NDAs so nobody finds out" is a legitimate business model in 2026. What a timeline.

That’s genuinely insane. My “favourite” UK-China comparison is Hinkley Point C vs the city of Shenzhen.
> 1980 Shenzhen SEZ announced
> 1981 Hinkley Point C announced
Today Hinkley Point C is still incomplete with yet more delays. Unit 1 expected to come online in 2030 (I highly doubt it).
In comparison Shenzhen went from a network of fishing villages with a GDP of $37 million to a mega city with a GDP of $557 billion. It has two operational nuclear power plants.
It is genuinely hard to describe the state of Britain if you have not visited newly developed parts of the world. Practically nothing has been built in Britain in the last 50 years, it isn’t just stagnating, it’s dying.

Today on The Science and Experience of Energy, @niroshajmurugan and I are happy to see the Energy Resistance Principle (ERP) come to life!
We discuss how energy resistance (éR) is essential to our lives, what éR feels like and might affect our experiences, and how excess éR likely contributes to diseases like cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's.
The ERP arose from curiosity, dialogue, and collaboration. Over the last few months, we've been delighted to see it inspire others all over the world to think energetically about diseases. We're excited to see how it will inspire future research, clinical practice, and technology development.
If the ERP has helped you think about a hard problem more clearly, please share below or in the article comments. Thank you!

W杯の会場で流れてる楽曲がどのように選ばれているかの記事が面白かったので、NY Timesのギフトリンク置いときます。
基本はFIFAのエンタメチームがトラックリストを作るんだけど、各国代表からも希望を提出してるそうで、記事の最後に全出場国の提出楽曲一覧とプレイリストがついててめちゃ楽しい。ボスニア・ヘルツェゴビナの選んだバルカンの伝統音楽とスカやダブが融合したバンドの曲とかもよかった。
各国からはスタメン発表時のSignature song／ウォームアップ／ゴール／勝った場合の試合後の4シーン用にリストを提出し、事前にFIFAの人権・反差別対策部門が審査するそう。なお、クロアチア戦勝利後話題になったWonderwallはイングランド代表からの提出リストには含まれておらず、FIFA側の選曲ということになる。
注目のカボベルデからは一曲だけで、同国フットボール連盟が制作した公式アンセム。記事中にはないけど、この曲について調べてみたらとても興味深かったので、別途ツリーに続けて書きます。

“I am from Bosnia
Take me to America
I want to see
Statue of Liberty
I can no longer wait
Take me to United States
Take me to Golden Gate
I will assimilate”
Those words hit differently now. Bosnia is in San Francisco, with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background, preparing to play the United States.
Sometimes life gives you moments where a song you’ve known for years suddenly comes alive right in front of you.
This feels like one of those moments.
