Humanity
Feels Like
Someone lower the broiler heat; we are starting to burn. It’s the 187th day of August here in Kansas. Yes, you read it correctly. If the temperatures are in “feels like” terms, so are the days in this month. Each day with these temperatures feels like a month on its own. We are cooking here, and it’s not steaks. Well, not the bovine steaks, anyway. I do feel like an overcooked sirloin. Does anyone have any gravy?

How Humanity Learned to See the World
• • • For thousands of years, human beings looked at the world around them with curiosity and confusion. Trees, mountains, fire, water, the sun, the moon, earthquakes, lightning, each phenomenon seemed separate, disconnected, operating by its own mysterious logic.

The Primordial Cloud: Where Everything Began
• • • Go back far enough, roughly fifteen billion years, and the entire universe was a cloud of hydrogen. No stars. No planets. No elements heavier than hydrogen. No light in any meaningful sense. Just an immense, formless expanse of the simplest substance in existence: a single proton orbited by a single electron.

The Point of No Return
Since the mid twentieth century, human activity has driven long-term shifts in global temperatures and weather patterns. This happens primarily through deforestation, the release of greenhouse gases, and the burning of fossil fuels. Gases released into the Earth's atmosphere act as a blanket, trapping these gases and warming the surface of the Earth. The world's most respected scientific institutions reached the same unanimous conclusion: human activity is the most prominent cause of global warming since the pre-industrial era. As of March 2026, every major global scientific institution has confirmed that climate change has reached the point of no return: when climate systems undergo changes that become impossible to reverse. ________________________________

Who Should Pay to Power Georgia's AI Boom?
Thesis Georgia should welcome innovation—including AI and data centers—but the costs of powering that growth should be allocated fairly. The PSC's job is not to stop economic development; it's to ensure that growth strengthens the grid without shifting unnecessary costs and risks onto families and small businesses.

The Full Moon
Some say yes, while others say no. Some say, well, it does affect some peoples sleep and mood because of that. While others say, just ask the police department, the emergency rooms, and the mental health crisis shelters. Take a look at stories that are going around with friends and family.
