As Bloomberg just reported, the Pentagon's new National Defense Strategy rejects limits on using nuclear weapons long championed by arms control advocates (and, in the not too distant past, by Joe Bide) citing burgeoning threats from Russia and China. “By the 2030s the United States will, for the first time in its history face two major nuclear powers as strategic competitors and potential adversaries,” the Defense Department said in the long-awaited document issued Thursday. In response, the US will “maintain a very high bar for nuclear employment” without ruling out using the we... read more

The strange, savage life of a freshwater mussel
A type of mussel called a black sandshell displaying teeth-like packets of mussel larvae inside its gills. | Courtesy of Chris Barnhart Oh, you think mussels are basically rocks? I’m afraid you are very wrong. Shimmering on the rocky bed of the White River in Missouri is something that appears like a small fish. It has fins and eyes, and it wiggles as if it’s swimming.
