He stands beside a massive boulder perched on a ridge, explaining how it arrived there not through violence, but through a slow, deliberate process. The rock rode in on an iceberg, likely during the waning stages of the last glaciation. As meltwater pooled and ice masses fragmented, bergs carrying...

Standing at a ridge in the Columbia Valley, Randall Carlson describes what this landscape looked like at the peak of the Ice Age floods - a churning, turbulent mass of water approximately 200 feet deep, choked with thousands of icebergs, moving toward you with enough force to pour over a ridge flanked by 400-foot walls. The scale is almost impossible to hold in the mind. This was not a river in flood. It was an inland sea in violent motion, ripping through the landscape at a speed and volume that left permanent marks on the geology of the entire Pacific Northwest. The key to reading flood geology, Randall explains, is understanding that erosion and deposition are two halves of the same process. The floodwaters excavated material from one location - tearing up bedrock, stripping soil, carving channels - and that material had to go somewhere. Learning to correlate what was ripped from a given location with where it eventually settled is how geologists reconstruct the path, the volume, and the violence of a flood that left no human witnesses.

Start with a single cubic mile of ice and convert it instantaneously to water. The flood that produces would be enormous by any human standard. Now multiply that by six million - the estimated volume of glacial ice sitting on the continental landmasses of North America and Eurasia at the peak of the last Ice Age. All of it is gone now. The question Randall Carlson forces is deceptively simple: how fast did it go? If that volume of ice melted gradually over 50,000 or 100,000 years, the resulting sea level rise and meltwater discharge would be spread thinly enough across time to look almost imperceptible in any given century. But if the same six million cubic miles of ice melted over three, four, or five thousand years - as the evidence increasingly suggests - the implications are categorically different. The meltwater pulses, the catastrophic floods, the rapid sea level rises recorded in the geological record all point toward a process that was far faster and far more violent than the gradualist model has ever been comfortable acknowledging. The ice did not gently fade. It collapsed. Join Randall in the field in New York State for his Finger Lakes Tour, Aug 30 - Sep 5, 2026:

We witnessed the raw power of nature yesterday just south of Seward Alaska! It was incredible to watch this massive glacier calving, sending a huge wave through the water. Absolutely breathtaking to see firsthand. Glacial calving is a natural process where large chunks of ice break off from the edge of a glacier. This typically happens at the “terminus” or snout, where the glacier meets the sea, a lake, or even dry land. When these massive pieces of ice fall into the water, they become icebergs, or in smaller pieces, “growlers” or “bergy bits.” The process is primarily driven by gravity and the movement of the glacier itself. As a glacier flows—acting like a slow-moving river of ice—it experiences immense internal stress. When it reaches a point where it is no longer supported by land or where it extends out over the water, the ice becomes unstable. Cracks called crevasses form in the ice, and when these cracks penetrate deep enough, a section of the ice can no longer hold its own weight and snaps off, crashing down with incredible force. Calving is a dynamic and loud phenomenon that often triggers significant waves. It is a normal part of a glacier’s life cycle, and very common in the warmer summer months.

Someone asked Elon Musk how he prioritizes with so many things going on at once: "Prioritize? It's usually been out of desperation, not selection. It's not 'Oh, let's sit back and leisurely decide how we should spend these resources.' It's 'This isn't working. If we don't make it work, we're going to go bankrupt, so we better make it work.' I felt like Indiana Jones running down the temple. There's a huge boulder chasing you and you need to jump across a giant pit in the ground. If you slow down, the boulder will crush you. And if you don't make the leap, you'll die in the pit. That's prioritizing. I lived in the factories for three years, running around like a maniac through every part of the factory. I slept on the floor so the team going through a hard time could see me on the floor and knew I was not in some ivory tower. Whatever pain they experienced, I experienced more."

The cold is British. They just never told you. ❄️🇬🇧 Every air conditioner, every fridge, every freezer on earth, the cold inside all of it was first made by a Scotsman. In 1756. ❄️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 His name was William Cullen, a doctor in Edinburgh. In a warm room, with no ice and no winter, he drew the air from a glass of ether until it boiled cold and drank the heat from the water around it, until the water froze. No one had ever done it before. Then he wrote it down and walked away. No machine, no patent, no fortune. Just the proof, on a bench. It sat there the better part of a century. A British bench built the first machine that worked, and a Scot carried it across the world to Australia, where it froze meat and cooled beer. But cold was only half the story. ❄️📖 To master the air itself took another Scot. When the Houses of Parliament burned down in 1834, David Boswell Reid made the new building breathe, its gothic spires its lungs. At St George's Hall in Liverpool in 1851 he built what is often called the first air-conditioned building on earth. It should have made him. He died forgotten in America instead. 40 years on, Willis Carrier built the machine and earned his name as the father of modern air conditioning. He earned every bit of it. But he did not make the cold. The cold was British. America took that inheritance and cooled the world with it, and that is no theft. That is what an inheritance is for. We are the home of British heroes. Not built by ads, not by the government, built by us. There's a place for you with us. Be part of us. ☝️🇬🇧 Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧

This is what happens when you hold onto a tree and never let go as it keeps growing. Giuseppe Penone created It Will Continue to Grow Except at That Point by casting his hand around the trunk of a young tree and then leaving it alone. Over time, the tree grew freely in every direction except where the hand once pressed, preserving a single, permanent indentation. Nothing was cut or reshaped by force—the work emerged through time, growth, and restraint. Long after the hand disappeared, its trace remained in the living wood, a quiet record of how even brief human contact can leave a lasting mark on nature.

Portland sits on a catastrophic flood deposit. When the Ice Age megafloods hit the Columbia River Gorge, the water encountered a major obstruction west of the city and split in two directions. One flow surged south, backfilling the Willamette Valley 400 feet deep. The other turned north toward Astoria and emptied into the Pacific. At the turn, the current dropped its heaviest load: a massive boulder bar. That's what Portland is built on. Builders working in the area confirm it. Dig down for a foundation and you hit enormous boulders buried just below the surface, erratic stones carried hundreds of miles by floodwater moving faster than any river on Earth today. The city's bedrock isn't bedrock at all. It's the debris field of a cataclysm.

The question of Atlantis has always been treated as mythology. Randall approaches it as a geological problem - and he has a specific answer. The most likely candidate, in his assessment, is the Azores microcontinent, a submerged landmass roughly the size of Iceland sitting along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge at the triple plate junction where the Eurasian, North American, and African plates converge. That location is not speculative. It is one of the most geologically dynamic points on the planet's surface. What moves the argument from interesting to empirically grounded is the data Randall cites. There is measurable evidence suggesting the Azores microcontinent was above sea level during the late glacial maximum - the period before the ice sheets melted and redistributed their mass into the world's oceans. The process Randall describes is the same one operating at Hudson Bay - trillions of tons of glacial weight transferring into the North Atlantic, forcing the sea bottom to adjust as the geoid constantly works to reestablish equilibrium. That adjustment didn't just raise some landmasses. It submerged others. Randall’s argument is that the Azores microcontinent was one of them - and that what went beneath the water when the ice melted may be exactly what Plato was describing.

#WATCH | Kathmandu, Nepal: On the cause of the Nepal flash flood, Geologist Prof. Dr Bishal Nath Upreti says, "...First of all, this is not a glacial outburst flood. It is not a case where a lake breached and then came down - no lakes were breaching out and causing this...Nepal first recorded an earthquake of 4.4 magnitude, and later the USGS updated it to 5.2 magnitude. The initial idea was that the earthquake triggered a block of ice falling down from the glacier...afterwards, however, the USGS re-examined the waveforms of the seismic activity and realised that this was not a tectonic earthquake. It was not that an earthquake caused the ice to fall, but actually the other way around: the sheer mass of ice and rocks falling created this 5.2 magnitude earthquake...you can only imagine how massive the mass must have been that fell from above."

Today we lower the curtain on a life that spent itself teaching Uganda how to see its own reflection on a stage. To call him a playwright is true but insufficient. Mukulu was an institution unto himself. Those of us in this trade know what it costs to build a body of work like that, the rehearsals that ran too late, the casts he pushed because he refused to let anyone perform beneath what he knew they had in them. The arguments about a line or a gesture that felt, in the moment, like they mattered more than anything in the world. His language during rehearsals sometimes sounded vulgar to the young cast built around us but Art has no sanity. It’s as it is and what it is. More so, Mwami Mukulu was famous, actually notorious for his conduct as Director but the cast understood him and appreciate him. For demanding of his actors the same relentless standard he demanded of himself. That sternness was never cruelty. It was reverence. He simply could not treat the stage as anything less than sacred, and he made sure everyone who stood on one with him understood that too. He was, by every account, a difficult man to satisfy and an impossible man to forget. That is, in the end, the whole job description of a master to me a GRANDMASTER. Alex Mukulu did not simply entertain a country, he gave it a mirror and he held that mirror steady for almost fifty years, through changing governments and changing audiences. Never once flinching from what it showed. That is the work of a grand master of this craft, and it is the work he leaves in our hands now. Rest well, my Idol my inspiration Mr Director Alex Mukulu. The stage is dark tonight because you are no longer on it but everywhere US your students, your casts and your audiences carry a piece of what you taught us. The lights are still on Boss🫡 #SleepwellGrandMaster

Sometimes Boulder Canyon lives up to its name. Last night, Deputies Niss and Schimel responded to a fallen boulder blocking westbound traffic near Boulder Falls, and yes, a boulder at Boulder Falls. Both deputies stood in the pouring rain for over an hour and a half while keeping traffic moving safely until CDOT arrived with a front-end loader to clear the rock. Moments like this remind us why we do what we do. It’s not about the call itself, it’s about being there for the people who live, work, and travel through Boulder County. Rain or shine, day or night, we’re always just a call away. Music: Early Hours Musician: iksonmusic

What does the oldest sibling feud in the Bible have to do with the argument you keep having with the person you love most? In this lecture, delivered improbably in the city of sin, Jordan Peterson takes the story of a twin who cheats his own brother out of everything and uses it to map a single idea he calls aiming up. Starting from something as ordinary as a fight with your spouse that never seems to resolve, Peterson descends, level by level, into what he argues is really going on underneath: a buried betrayal, a broken trust, and a choice between the desire to win and the harder work of peace. Along the way he explains why the cynic is not the intelligent one in the room, why the wealth of an entire nation rests on something as fragile as a handshake, and how a crook with no reason to hope becomes the father of nations. What he arrives at is not a sermon but a description, of the one decision available to you in any moment, no matter how far down you have fallen, and of the strange acceleration that begins the instant you make it. This lecture was filmed in Las Vegas, Nevada, on May 19, 2024.

Google Street View started as a project to scan the real world. Cars with cameras photographed streets to collect data. It worked, but everything that made a place feel like a place was gone. Until Andy Szybalski prototyped what it could feel like as a product designed for people. The prototype was completely fake. The map didn't work and the imagery wasn't real. But it let people feel what it was like to stand on the street. An engineer saw it and said "let's ship it." Andy had to explain there was nothing to ship. This "smoke and mirrors" prototype convinced the team to throw out years of work and rebuild Street View through the eye of a human instead of a machine. I talked with Andy about the whole story, including the prototypes, the key design decisions, and how Street View became one of the most beloved products on the internet. Full story (with more early prototypes) in the replies 👇

This is by far one of the best examples of how a droid would navigate a battle in real life. Every shot is on target, there is no wasted motion, and the only limiting factors on its kill potential are the firing rate of its blasters and how much ammunition it has. It does not run or move unnecessarily quickly; it is just measured and precise.
