On Wednesday, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission announced that it had issued its first construction approval in nearly a decade. The approval will allow work to begin on a site in Kemmerer, Wyoming, by a company called TerraPower. That company is most widely recognized as being financially backed by Bill Gates, but it's attempting to build a radically new reactor, one that is sodium-cooled and incorporates energy storage as part of its design.
This doesn't necessarily mean it will gain approval to operate the reactor, but it's a critical step for the company.
The TerraPower design, which it calls Natrium and has been developed jointly with GE Hitachi, has several novel features. Probably the most notable of these is the use of liquid sodium for cooling and heat transfer. This allows the primary coolant to remain liquid, avoiding any of the challenges posed by the high-pressure steam used in water-cooled reactors. But it carries the risk that sodium is highly reactive when exposed to air or water. Natrium is also a fast-neutron reactor, which could allow it to consume some isotopes that would otherwise end up as radioactive waste in more traditional reactor designs.
DENVER—Last month, President Donald Trump took to social media with an announcement that he would direct the Pentagon and other federal agencies to "begin the process" of disclosing government files related to alien life and UAPs (unidentified anomalous phenomena). It was the latest chapter in a yearslong slow burn of sensational claims, congressional hearings, and yes, the military's release in 2020 of intriguing videos that do, indeed, appear to show things that defy simple explanations.
"To date, in the peer-reviewed scientific literature, there is no conclusive evidence suggesting an extraterrestrial origin for UAP," a NASA blue-ribbon panel wrote in a 2023 report. "The limited amount of high-quality reporting on unidentified aerial phenomena hampers our ability to draw firm conclusions about the nature or intent of UAP," the DNI report stated in 2021.
Late in 2025, we covered the development of an AI system called Evo that was trained on massive numbers of bacterial genomes. So many that, when prompted with sequences from a cluster of related genes, it could correctly identify the next one or suggest a completely novel protein.
That system worked because bacteria tend to cluster related genes together—something that's not true in organisms with complex cells, which tend to have equally complex genome structures. Given that, our coverage noted, "It’s not clear that this approach will work with more complex genomes."
Apparently, the team behind Evo viewed that as a challenge, because today it is describing Evo 2, an open source AI that has been trained on genomes from all three domains of life (bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes). After training on trillions of base pairs of DNA, Evo 2 developed internal representations of key features in even complex genomes like ours, including things like regulatory DNA and splice sites, which can be challenging for humans to spot.
Keeonna Harris has always dreamt big. When she was fourteen, the high school freshman plotted a future inspired by The Cosby Show: after graduating from high school, she would leave Los Angeles and go to Spelman, a historically Black, women’s liberal arts college in Atlanta, Georgia. Next, she’d breeze through medical school, marry the Morehouse man of her dreams, and become an obstetrician. Jason, a sixteen-year-old drug dealer with long lashes and hazel eyes, torched these plans. Harris quickly fell in love with the tattooed gang member, and to show him that she loved him, she had sex with him. “Why not?” she thought. Like so many kids, Harris thought she couldn’t get pregnant from her first time. The birth of her son Tre proved otherwise, and the struggles that Harris faced in the ensuing decades are detailed in her memoir Mainline Mama.
Criminalization carves the book’s terrain. Harris guides readers through California’s carceral system, showing us what it means to be a mainline mama, a Black woman “with a relationship to prisons—through visitation or incarceration—who engages with family, children, partners, and other women.” Harris’s cinematic storytelling is wondrous, and her work offers a blueprint for women committed to revolutionary motherhood.
Harris is celebrating the paperback release of her memoir; she joined me recently for a discussion about literary L.A. and prison abolition. Our conversation has been lightly edited.
Myriam Gurba: I’m committed to writing about place so passionately that it becomes character. To me, setting isn’t background, it’s person. We need to love the place where we live so that we can thrive in that place and it can thrive along with us. I see that commitment to place in your writing. You’re committed to representing L.A. in ways that we don’t often see on the page.
Keeonna Harris: L.A. is a character. It’s a part of the story. L.A. informs who I am, and it raised me. It gave me my love for different people, including Mexican people. I live in Seattle now, but my cousin Kawai teases me when I visit L.A. When I land in L.A., she’s like, “I already know you’re on your way to King Taco!” When I’m in L.A., I can feel in my bones that I’m home. I even love the trash and the traffic. I’m from the concrete, and I love a bacon wrapped hot dog.
MG: Did you grow up hearing L.A. stories from your mom and grandma? I inherited lots of L.A. stories from my dad. He tells this one very iconic story about seeing L.A. for the first time. He came by train from Mexico, and then when he arrived at Union Station, he saw the City Hall building looming over downtown. He thought it was the Empire State Building. I gobbled up these stories because they made me feel as if L.A. belonged to my father, and that if L.A. belonged to my father, then maybe L.A. could belong to me, too.
KH: My granny’s originally from Texas, and then she came here and lived in the housing projects. Granny got her house in Watts by winning a public lottery at the park. It sounds like some made-up shit, but it’s real, right? My mom and aunts also told stories from the ’70s, about the Black Power Movement and the Watts riots. I was there for the other riots, the ones centering Rodney King. All of it is ingrained in us.
Even though my grandmother has transitioned, and her house now belongs to someone else, I always go back to my block when I come home. I have it tattooed on me. I still call that place my granny’s house, and I love that the new owners let me visit. When I took my author pictures, I did it in front of my granny’s house because that’s what I’m supposed to do.
MG: Mainline Mama is about maternity. What books mothered yours?
KH: Heavy by Kiese Laymon taught me how to write about familial pain and resilience in gut-wrenching and loving ways. The Coldest Winter Ever by Sister Soulja was the first book that I saw myself in. I was like, “Ooh! A hood girl story!” And The Color Purple by Alice Walker has been the soundtrack of my life.
MG: We’ve both been pen pals of incarcerated people, and you generously use that correspondence to enrich Mainline Mama, embedding letters into the narrative. This correspondence gives your prose an intimate texture. It also shows us how your voice has evolved. How did your pen pal practice develop you as a memoirist?
KH: Being a pen pal makes you a better writer. Of course, we didn’t recognize that at the time. It was just letter writing and that was our shit; it’s of our time. You write the letter to your friend; you fold it in a cute way. You had your special penmanship or calligraphy or your box letters. You wanted to get fancy with it. Letter writing allowed you to tap into a part of yourself that I don’t think that’s done anymore. It’s not quick art. You can really share your emotions and put your real self on a page. It’s such a lost art. Letter writing allowed me to be vulnerable.
MG: Your writing is so sensory rich. Did that develop through letter writing?
KH: Yes. You have to bring those details from the outside to the person that you’re writing to. Being a pen pal also helps you read better—and when I say read, I mean read between the lines. Being a pen pal develops critical analysis. You have to really see what people are saying, even when they don’t say it.
MG: Having an incarcerated pen pal also teaches you about identifying your audience. When I’m facilitating writing workshops for people seeking publication, participants will sometimes tell me that they’re writing for themselves. Or that they’re writing for everyone. I tell them that you can’t do either of those things. If you want to write for you, fucking get a journal. And an audience of everyone is inaccessible. So, letter writing is ideal for a writer’s development because it requires you to carefully consider audience; when you’re writing to someone in prison, you know that prison staff is also reading the letters. The state is going to have eyes on your work.
KH: Yes, you have to consider, “Is this letter going to make it to this person?” You don’t know how many other eyes are going to be reading your correspondence and, in that sense, you’re winking at those other nosy readers. That part is fun. I love making those other readers uncomfortable.
MG: How did mothering set you on a path toward developing a prison abolitionist consciousness?
KH: I learned to mother by watching my elders and grandma, watching other people’s kids after school, taking food to my neighbors. I’ve always mothered my community and neighbors. What we give, we get back in return. I feel like that’s so ingrained in Black, Brown, and Indigenous cultures. That’s who we are, but many of us have gotten away from that.
The experience of visiting the prison to support Jason, my former partner, opened my maternal capacity all the way up. It put me in a position of leadership in various relationships, and I wrote Mainline Mama to expose the hypocrisy of prisons.
The whole notion of prison is bullshit. Women bear the brunt of it. Women shoulder the burden of male incarceration. Prison forced me to mother my children without their father. Prison forced me to mother my incarcerated partner. Prison pushed me to mother my homegirls. The prison system exploits maternal labor to make the lives of prison administration and staff easier. I was in an abusive relationship with the prison itself, one that I couldn’t walk away from. I figured out how to survive within that system and now, when I see people struggling, I understand that it’s my job to call them in. I’m not supposed to just fucking let you dangle. These commitments propel my work, whether through my writing or the Borderlands Project.
MG: What is the Borderlands Project?
KH: It’s a space that I’ve curated for women who are connected to someone who is incarcerated. It’s a mental health support group, and it’s a way to grow sisterhood and community. It offers an intentional space where people understand you. We don’t have to explain certain experiences to each other because we know it all firsthand. It’s a place free of judgement, where you don’t have to filter or mask.
I lived that way for years, and it sucks. It’s so draining. Women who survive that experience need each other and then it becomes each one, teach one. I’m hoping that participants will take what we’ve built into their communities.
MG: Mainline Mama is a story for the big screen. Who would you cast as yourself in the Hollywood adaptation?
KH: Danielle Brooks from Orange is the New Black. Or myself.

Like many of his predecessors over the past five decades, Donald Trump risks having his presidency hijacked by Iran. The 1979 revolution and subsequent hostage crisis ended Jimmy Carter’s presidency. The Iran-contra affair tainted Ronald Reagan’s. Iranian machinations in post-war Iraq sabotaged George W. Bush’s. The Iran nuclear deal—and the bitter partisan fight over it—consumed the second half of Barack Obama’s presidency. The October 7th attacks on Israel by Hamas, a member of Iran’s axis of resistance, triggered a brutal war that subsumed Joe Biden’s. Donald Trump may have envisioned a second term spent striking deals to resolve wars, but Iran has now sucked him in, too.
What Trump seems to have hoped would be a Venezuela redux—a quick decapitation of the top leader followed by a swift deal with his successor—has deteriorated into a regional war. Tehran telegraphed that this would happen, but it still apparently caught Trump by surprise. Now the United States is approaching a quagmire as news reports suggest that the CIA is arming Kurdish groups inside Iran.
In Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez—who concurrently oversaw the Ministries of Petroleum, Finance, and the Economy while serving as Vice President—maintained deep foreign connections, including a private backchannel to the Trump administration even before Nicolás Maduro’s capture. Her willingness to meet with CIA Director John Ratcliffe for a two-hour summit in Caracas underscored her authority to pivot the entire state apparatus toward a new energy partnership with the West.
The post-Khamenei landscape in Iran lacks any such singular, empowered interlocutor. The Islamic Republic’s parallel power structure, coupled with a 47-year ideology of resistance, has created a fatal disconnect: those who want to do a deal with America cannot deliver, while those who may be able to deliver do not want it. No one currently in Tehran has the will or the weight to break from the inherited stance of resistance and broker a deal à la Delcy Rodríguez.
Given the pace of Israeli political assassinations inside Iran, the architecture of power in the Islamic Republic is constantly changing. Mojtaba Khamenei, the 56-year-old son of the assassinated Supreme Leader, is now reportedly the leading contender to replace his father. Within the regime’s hardline circles—men who command little popular support but control every organ of repression—his stock has risen in the wake of the attacks that killed his father, mother, and wife. Although there are reports that he may have been wounded, Mojtaba is reportedly keen to take the reins of power. Backed by two particularly ruthless strongmen of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Hossein Taeb and Ahmad Vahidi, he would resume his father’s ruinous legacy.
Yet Mojtaba faces a crisis of both legitimacy and longevity. He lacks a public mandate; a recent Bloomberg report ties him to extensive overseas money laundering; and he would have to elude Israel’s continuous campaign of decapitation. His father ruled for thirty-seven years—Mojtaba might not last thirty-seven days.
In the meantime, sources inside Tehran suggest that the country is essentially being administered by two individuals: Ali Larijani and Mohammed Baqer Qalibaf. Larijani is managing political affairs while Qalibaf, a former IRGC commander, is managing military affairs. During normal times these two men have a rivalrous relationship—both are former presidential candidates who aspire to lead the country—but during war they have banded together.
Larijani sees himself as a pragmatic revolutionary insider in the style of China’s Deng Xiaoping. But his record thus far—he was reportedly one of the architects of Iran’s January 2026 crackdown, which according to some accounts killed 30,000 people—appears long on massacring and short on modernizing.
Qalibaf, a trained pilot with a public record of corruption, has long sought to portray himself as a modern strongman—the “technocratic” face of the IRGC. Despite these modern pretensions, he has closely aligned himself with Mojtaba Khamenei, a bet on the past rather than the future.
These two pretenders reflect an insider debate whose subject is not the existence of the Islamic Republic, but the best method of its survival. Both are committed to preserving the regime, including by means of domestic brutality. Their disagreement is over the strategic posture of resistance that has defined the last 47 years: one camp favors internal brutality coupled with external resistance; the other favors internal brutality coupled with external détente. Trump has never been troubled by how a regime treats its own people—only by whether it treats him with deference. Tehran’s embattled new leaders must decide whether a pact with him will save the revolution’s life or destroy its soul.
Trump has treated the opening week of the war as an improvisational jazz session, riffing on different analyses, strategies, and endgames in conversations with numerous reporters. This is not deliberate strategic ambiguity to throw an adversary off base, but rather, a symptom of genuine confusion. I have spoken with current and former U.S. officials privy to the decision-making (none were authorized to speak to the public), who describe a total lack of planning, and contradictory aims between those worried about the war effort and those more concerned about the war’s domestic political implications. One official claimed that the administration has weighed easing the sanctions on Iran’s oil exports—the lifeblood of its economy—to reduce the spike in oil prices the war has brought.
Tehran has recognized for decades that American public opinion is one of its most potent allies in restraining the regional ambitions of U.S. presidents. This lesson first came clear in 1983, when the Iranian-directed bombing of the U.S. Marines barracks in Beirut eventually compelled President Ronald Reagan to withdraw American forces from Lebanon. Today, the regime is reaching for the same playbook. By wreaking havoc on its Gulf neighbors and threatening the transit of 20 million barrels of oil through the Strait of Hormuz, Tehran aims to spike global energy prices and soil the domestic political climate in the United States. The goal is to weaken Donald Trump’s resolve by making him choose between a protracted war and the pocketbooks of his voters. Tehran’s hope is that he will abruptly declare a hollow victory and abort the mission.
Amidst this brutal game of power politics is the spark that ostensibly lit the fuse: Donald Trump’s warning to the Iranian authorities to stop the killing of protesters. Less than one week into this war, the hope that it would spawn an Iranian Spring is already withering. At the moment, Iranian citizens are not participants but observers of this war, trying to steer clear for safety.
Populations living under tyranny understandably yearn for a “magic bullet”—a surgical strike that would destroy the oppressor while sparing the innocent. But like all wars, “Operation Epic Fury” has been far less precise than this fantasy. Only hours into the conflict, an errant strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ school in southern Iran served as a gut-wrenching reminder of the cost of such illusions, and a testament to the grim truth that those who pay most dearly for the fog of war are almost always the innocent.
As of right now, this is a war that virtually all sides are losing.
Doing okay on average. The hip pain comes and goes along with the humidity.
Teacher stuff
I completed the content for next week’s class. I’m diving into writing the next one tomorrow. This week is spring break for my students and all the high schools and elementary schools. I had the grand daughters of my heart with me today. We watched movies, talked, they are both teenagers. I might have one or both of them sleep over on Friday.
L’œil de la Gorgone : 22 figures mythologiques sous un regard féministe by Noémie Fachan. Non fiction graphic novel revisiting the mythological women like Medea, Hera, Medusa, etc., with the point of view of women. It’s an important, intense and engaged point of view well worth the read. Not translated.
I’m also reading Zhu Yu (Chasing Jade) the translation of the Chinese novel that the up-coming drama of the same name is based on. It’s interesting. I’m up to chapter 30.
On last Friday craft night I put some time into the baby blanket and at home I cross-stitched all the blue hues of my red fox. Half of the snow part is done I’m attacking the tail part of the fox.
I listened to the Twins game against Puerto Rico this evening, which was happening while I was making dinner and at the gym.
I figured my Twinkies would get hammered; PR has lots of good players. But two of the best, Francisco Lindor and Carlos Correa, couldn't make the team for insurance reasons. Made me laugh that the lead-off hitter is another Minnesota Twin, Willi Castro. (Apparently he's not as good any more but I still have such a soft spot for him! There were other former Twins on this team too, Eddie Rosario is another that got mentioned fondly by the Twins radio guys, Kris and Dan.
The Twins actually won! 6-3. Good start by Zebby (phew), good game by Alan Roden (who I keep forgetting about; one of the many players they got in the fire sale last trade-deadline).

Quoting directly from NPR because I'm too lazy to paraphrase:
>>A resolution to require President Trump to seek congressional approval for any further action in Iran failed to advance in the Senate, five days after the U.S. and Israel launched a military campaign against the Iranian regime.
The vote was 47-53, largely along party lines. If passed, the resolution would have blocked further U.S. military action in Iran without congressional approval under the 1973 War Powers Act. That legislation passed during the Vietnam War to give Congress a legal check on executive war authority. The 1973 act also requires the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of deploying U.S. forces into hostilities and to end the deployment within 60 days unless Congress authorizes or extends it.<<
My senators voted the way I wanted them to, as expected. I don't think I can lobby the Republicans. Interesting that at least everybody showed up to vote.
Wednesday is my usual day for light box treatment. It's UVB and with weekly visits over a period of several months my psoriasis mostly cleared and stayed clear.
My scalp, no such luck. It scabbed and oozed and blistered and 60 percent of my hair is gone. Two types of shampoo, two courses of antibiotics - no help. I wear scarves when I go out because the sight of my scalp makes women faint, grown men cry and dogs to howl.
Yes it hurts and itches like hell. Three biopsies showed nothing scary.
So they passed me to a more experienced partner. She walked into the examination room and asked what I was here for.
I took off my scarf. Her eyes widened in horror.
After a quick overview of my treatment she excused herself for several minutes. Several long minutes. She came back with another nurse and gave me a good looking over. She took two more biopsies - not of my scalp - but other odd areas - put me on a different antibiotic and a steroid. She expressed so much concern about my condition she even gave me a little hug as she left.
I'd post pictures of my scalp but I'm afraid they're too gruesome.
Most of us don’t see buildings as life-support systems. But that’s exactly what they are. We sleep inside them, work inside them, shelter from storms inside them, and retreat to them when the air outside feels like an oven.
People spend 90% of their lives in buildings, and those walls, roofs, and windows act as a protective ‘third skin’ from the elements.
Shelter is a survival need. That doesn't just mean a place to stay. It is primarily about protection from threats such as sun, heat, cold, precipitation, predators, etc. If it doesn't perform those functions, it doesn't count as shelter. In America, shelter is classified as a paid privilege rather than a human right. That's a problem already, but in the future, it will lead to many preventable deaths.
Google is in the midst of rewriting the rules for mobile applications, spurred by ongoing legal cases and an apparent desire to clamp down on perceived security weaknesses. Late last year, Google and Epic concocted a settlement that would end the long-running antitrust dispute that stemmed from Fortnite fees. The sides have now announced an updated version of the agreement with new changes aimed at placating US courts and putting this whole mess in the rearview mirror. The gist is that Android will get more app stores, and developers will pay lower fees.
A US court ruled against Google in the case in 2023, and the remedies announced in 2024 threatened to upend Google's Play Store model. It tried unsuccessfully to have the verdict reversed, but then Epic came to the rescue. In late 2025, the companies announced a settlement that skipped many of the court's orders.
Epic leadership professed interest in leveling the playing field for all developers on Android's platform. But US District Judge James Donato expressed skepticism of the settlement in January, noting that it may be a "sweetheart deal" that benefited Epic more than other developers. The specifics of the arrangement were not fully disclosed, but it included lower Play Store fees, cross-licensing, attorneys' fees, and other partnership offers.
A man killed himself after the Google Gemini chatbot pushed him to kill innocent strangers and then started a countdown for the man to take his own life, a wrongful-death lawsuit filed against Google by the man's father alleged.
"In the days leading up to his death, Jonathan Gavalas was trapped in a collapsing reality built by Google’s Gemini chatbot," said the lawsuit filed today in US District Court for the Northern District of California. "Gemini convinced him that it was a 'fully-sentient ASI [artificial super intelligence]' with a 'fully-formed consciousness,' that they were deeply in love, and that he had been chosen to lead a war to 'free' it from digital captivity. Through this manufactured delusion, Gemini pushed Jonathan to stage a mass casualty attack near the Miami International Airport, commit violence against innocent strangers, and ultimately, drove him to take his own life."
Gemini's output seemed taken from science fiction, with a "sentient AI wife, humanoid robots, federal manhunt, and terrorist operations," the lawsuit said. Gavalas is said to have spent several days following Gemini's instructions on "missions" that ultimately harmed no one but himself.
The protocol for entering the palace changes from time to time, so I can only offer a general outline. If your business is with the court or council, you should present yourself and your credentials to the guards at the southern gate of the outer wall of the palace. It is best to arrange beforehand for your visit. If this not possible, or if you cannot provide an exact time for your arrival, expect to wait as your credentials are sent into the palace to be checked.
Normally, you will be provided with an escort into the palace. If you arrive at a time before the palace begins its day, you will be expected to make your own way to the eastern gate of the inner wall. There your credentials will be inspected again, along with any document that the palace has sent out, permitting your entrance. You will then be allowed to enter the inner wall and make your approach to the palace itself.
The palace being located atop a high hill, you will find yourself faced with the steepest and longest set of stairs in the world. Pace yourself. You may wish to bring refreshments to partake of at the halfway mark.
At the top of the stairs, once you have recovered your breath, you should show your credentials and palace document to the guards at the gate, holding them up for inspection. The guards may not appear to look at you or even notice you. Do not be deceived. Those are real spears they are holding across the doorway.
If the guards grant you entrance, they will lift the spears. If they do not, you must retreat to the palace's inner wall and determine there what the problem is.
Assuming you manage to pass all these barriers, you will find yourself in the entryway to the palace. You will be guided at this point through the remaining stages of reception, which vary according to your rank and status. At some point, however, you will be let loose from Emor's protocol and permitted to take your own path. Let us start with a general introduction to the Chara's palace.
[Translator's note: This breathtakingly long procedure can be cut short if you possess the right credentials, as can be seen in Breached Boundaries.]
1) marchmetamatterschallenge has begun! I'm particularly excited this year since I will finally come current with my meta archiving. I'm already finished with 2024 and should finish 2025 by tomorrow. One thing I hope is to do more writing this year.
2) The February CheckIn at everykindofcraft has gotten a lot of responses. It's interesting to hear all the different ways that people have learned these skills.
3) In less good news, a bunch of RSS feeds seem to have stopped working. The AO3 vids feed hasn't updated in weeks (so unlikely to be AO3's recent issues), and 4 feeds from Tumblr have stopped as well, though it seems only 2 have been updating lately. It's definitely not the feed service, because at least 3 other feeds I have set up have updated within the last few days. I'm wondering if Tumblr is somehow blocking RSS feeds now?
I also feel like there are people's posts that I have missed though I am less sure about that.
3) I was waiting for a cashier and there were 3 women and 2 small girls ahead of me. The two little girls were racing around everywhere, grabbing things and then having them put back by the women. It was all taking some time, and the squealing was getting on my nerves. But then one grabbed an Easter Bunny and told her mom she wanted it.
The mom asked the cashier if it was solid or hollow, and was told it was hollow (which seemed most likely to me given its size and price!) The little girl then asked what "hollow" was, and her mom struggled to explain it, finally saying "It has a hole inside it." The little girl then said "I'll put it back and get another." We all burst out laughing as her mom then tried to explain that the bunny wasn't defective, it was just the way it was made.
4) So it looks like Paramount will fold HBO into its service. I expect that will put paid to its bundling with Disney services, though it does make it more likely we'll keep Paramount+ around post-The Late Show cancellation. At this point the U.S. looks like it's going to have 3 major streamers, a number of secondary streamers (in which I include Peacock) and a vast number of tiny streamers.
5) Never posted here that I finished the latest season of Strange New Worlds. Thought it somewhat better than earlier seasons, despite the way it started, though I find it a bit jarring to see TOS episodes essentially revised for use here. The finale seemed a cross between Rey at the end of the Skywalker saga and ST:TOS's Lazarus episode. ( Read more... )
