The Truth About Caffeine, Dehydration, and Extreme Heat

As dangerous heat waves sweep the U.S., the CDC cautions against consuming caffeine. But not every expert is convinced the advice needs to be one-size-fits-all.
[---8<---]
"Don’t drink liquids that contain caffeine, alcohol, or large amounts of sugar — these actually cause you to lose more body fluid. Also, avoid very cold drinks because they can cause stomach cramps," the CDC wrote in its Extreme Heat guidance. It doubles down on this warning on its Heat and Your Health page, though with softer language, stating, "Consider limiting beverages high in sugars and sodium, caffeine, and alcohol, if possible."

Ancient fossil discovery in Ethiopia rewrites human origins

The fossils found in northeastern Ethiopia date between 2.6 to 2.8 million years ago and shed new light on human evolution.
In the deserts of Ethiopia, scientists uncovered fossils showing that early members of our genus Homo lived side by side with a newly identified species of Australopithecus nearly three million years ago. These finds challenge the old idea of a straight evolutionary ladder, revealing instead a tangled web of ancient relatives.

I'm surprised to find such far-flung relatives coexisting like that, but it's a happier image than today's lonely Homo.

23 Must-Read Books About Hope That Inspire Change & Action

John Parsi, executive director of the Hope Center, says that while optimistic people see the glass as half full, hopeful people ask how they can fill the glass full.

“Hope requires a person to take responsibility for their wants and desires and take action in working towards them,” Parsi says.

So whether you’re looking to start, sustain, or complete something, we hope the books included in this list inspire you to take action and work towards whatever goals you have in front of you.

I am particularly charmed to see “The Impossible Will Take a Little While: A Citizen’s Guide to Hope in a Time of Fear” edited by Paul Rogat Loeb because I've got a poem in that one, "Origami Emotion," from a couple decades ago.

After the initial flurry of sketching out the design and making a list of supplies, it only took him a few hours to build the scale, aided in the work by several of the younger, more curious goblins they had met in the market. If they were going to insist that his love was worth her weight in gold, damn it, he was going to calculate the weight to his advantage any way he could. In the end, the actual exchange rate of women to bullion hardly mattered, as the goblins decided they valued his ability to build tricky things enough to trade for his services instead.

They had told her their love was a light, shining on her, chasing away evil, burning out impurity, but it had only ever felt like a floodlight trained on her every move. So when she ran, she looked for darkness, heading for the low, overgrown places, the neglected corners, the spots no one wanted to look at for long. Down, down, she ran until she found people--small and pale and blind, used to living in a place without light--who knew something about needing to be secret, who knew love as a dark, soft place where seeds and people can finally rest.

In this all-women tiny home neighborhood, rent starts at $450. Residents want it to be a nationwide blueprint

Robyn Yerian, 70, used to live in a two-bedroom tiny home that cost just $57,000.

In 2022, she was yearning for more connection — as well as some “passive income.”

So she took some money from her retirement savings, bought a 5-acre plot of land in Cumby, Texas, and is now the landlord and community leader of The Bird’s Nest, an all-women tiny home neighborhood home to 11 women ages 60 to 80.

Robots competed in sports such as track and field, and table tennis, as well as tackled robot-specific challenges from sorting medicines and handling materials to cleaning services

Build an Emergency Food Supply List

There are several ways to build an emergency food supply to stock a survival kit and a “bug out bag”. While you can purchase specialized food products or a self-contained emergency preparedness kit, these can be costly and wasteful.

Instead, you can simply assemble shelf-stable foods that you already buy or preserve at home. Many canned, dried, and pickled foods are quite suitable for use in an emergency kit.

Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.

In particular, watch for sales. Anytime you see a shelf-stable food that you use, consider buying extra if feasible.

Myanmar’s massive quake hints at bigger earthquakes to come

The massive 2025 Myanmar earthquake revealed that strike slip faults can behave in surprising ways. Using satellite data, Caltech researchers found the Sagaing Fault ruptured more dramatically than expected, suggesting faults like the San Andreas could unleash even larger quakes than history shows.

Never assume that the worst thing you know about is the worst thing that can happen.

beepbird has written "For the Many," a book about plurality / multiplicity. It is available at this post with links to download PDF or EPUB formats.

I know I have a bunch of plural people in my audience, and I write about some plural characters such as Damask in Polychrome Heroics or Bruce-and-Hulk in Love Is For Children (The Avengers), so I'm always watching for good resources on this topic. Go read the book. It is very clearly written and includes many practical descriptions of how to achieve healthy multiplicity. Many of the suggestions are good people skills for living in other communal contexts too. It's good to read if you have plural friends, so you don't hurt them, because society affords them little or no protection. If you want to know how to do something, listen to someone who's been doing it a while -- not an "expert" who has never done it.

How to not build the Torment Nexus

This week’s question comes to us from Will Hopkins:
When your job and healthcare depends on building the Torment Nexus, but you actually learned the lesson from the popular book Don't Build the Torment Nexus, how do you keep your soul intact and try to put less torment into the world?

I would add: when your survival requires a job, and most jobs involve building some form of Torment Nexus, be aware that your society is in the toilet, circling the drain. And it's not an accident for people to feel outright trapped in truly heinous jobs. That's what homeless people are for: so the boss can say, "Quit dragging your feet and build the goddamn Torment Nexus! Or do you want to be homeless?"

Small Changes With Big Impacts in Dallas

On April 23, the Dallas City Council did something worth paying attention to.
They voted unanimously to approve a change to the city’s building code that allows up to eight dwelling units in three-story buildings under a modified version of the International Residential Code (IRC).

Multiplexes and small apartment buildings belong to the "missing middle" of affordable housing. They mix well with freestanding homes, particularly if you put them on the larger corner lots of a block. Imagine a block of mostly 2-3 bedroom houses with the corners holding a couple of small apartment buildings or multiplexes and a couple of bigger 4+ bedroom houses that could be for large families, sharehouses, boarding houses, etc. And some of those single-family homes could also have a garage apartment or a home business on the porch or garage. Such blocks exist in many of the towns near me, and they are awesome.

Extreme heat waves and cold spells on the Great Lakes have more than doubled since the late 1990s, coinciding with a major El Niño event.

The week has been an adventure. While hauling a machine out for decommissioning, we lost control of it and it toppled over. No one was hurt, and it was destined for scrapping anyway. It has, however, sent our upper manager into a frantic tailspin of anxiety (which is pretty much a day that ends in Y with that one). I built something to mitigate future risk, only to have it get rejected with a lot of handwringing about liability over house-made equipment. As though we don’t build stuff constantly, including many of the machines we use to make our product. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yesterday, we got to go to the local farmer’s market, though. That was real nice. Not a ton of produce that I wanted--we’re already inundated with strawberries and stone fruits. I did get some weird eggplant thingies, which are currently roasting.

The weather cooled down as the week went on, but it is set to become absolutely blistering this next week. *sigh*

Have you ever wanted to hear the sound of ADHD?

Watch on YouTube

I know of Sbassbear by way of their remixes of the Game Grumps. GG just did a reaction vid to the latest such Sbassbear release, and Dan mentioned that Sbassbear had a new album out. He described it as "51 minutes and 77 tracks, it's insanity, and I love it." Which was intriguing, because what, why, how?

I then spent an hour listening to the painfully relatable experience of one's brain just being a frantically spinning radio dial. It's a mix of music and fake ads and spoken word and gibberish. It is probably not everyone's style of humor; I wouldn't have been able to say that it was my style of humor. And yet, the giggling and sputtering did not stop.

I streamed it on YT, as embedded above. It's also on Bandcamp, and yes, I WILL be buying it and listening to it obsessively.

That being said, I actually really recommend listening to it on YT at least once, especially if you do not have any kind of adblocker. The experience of the video cutting to commercials while I was in another room and having no idea it wasn't part of the bit was genuinely hilarious. I got an ad for some hospital, with a person saying earnestly that he thought he was pretty healthy but was having chest pains that turned out to be a "widowmaker" heart attack, and he didn't know it until he walked into the hospital. This was delivered in such a tone of "shucks, I'm just a regular Joe Doofus, and I don't know shit about fuck," I truly believed it was part of the album and kept waiting for a punchline and/or beat to drop. Priceless.

I also got unexpectedly emotional at the penultimate track, when he talks about the very real struggles of being a creator with ADHD.

Mexican cave stalagmites reveal the deadly droughts behind the Maya collapse

Summary:
Chemical evidence from a stalagmite in Mexico has revealed that the Classic Maya civilization’s decline coincided with repeated severe wet-season droughts, including one that lasted 13 years. These prolonged droughts corresponded with halted monument construction and political disruption at key Maya sites, suggesting that climate stress played a major role in the collapse. The findings demonstrate how stalagmites offer unmatched precision for linking environmental change to historical events.

Just in case you thought climate change wasn't very important, a shift in the environmental conditions is one of the leading causes of civilization collapse.

The first few mantis shrimp had come from the mermaids, traded for rare freshwater shells coveted by the salt-dwelling, and he had undertaken a project of selective breeding and training. Having a domesticated mantis shrimp as an assistive animal had its own limitations, but there was room by the window for both his easel and an aquarium with an elaborate communication board. Though he was colorblind, his service shrimp guided him through a world of color even the finest paints struggled to render.

Mysterious Denisovan interbreeding shaped the humans we are today.
Denisovans, a mysterious human relative, left behind far more than a handful of fossils—they left genetic fingerprints in modern humans across the globe. Multiple interbreeding events with distinct Denisovan populations helped shape traits like high-altitude survival in Tibetans, cold-weather adaptation in Inuits, and enhanced immunity. Their influence spanned from Siberia to South America, and scientists are now uncovering how these genetic gifts transformed human evolution, even with such limited physical remains.
