Strap in, earthlings. Today’s newsletter is a beautiful flaming trash-meteor of geopolitics, viruses, underwater goddesses, collapsing megacities, doomed zebras, screaming deer, haunted sand dunes, cosmic spider legs, and The Economist dropping a 2026 cover that looks like the World Cup rebooted by Pfizer and Raytheon.
If you thought the timeline couldn’t get weirder — you must be new here.
We’ve got:
💉 A prophetic magazine cover full of syringes, tanks, and a soccer ball
🦠 The first-ever human H5N5 bird flu case
🌊 A 45-ton underwater sculpture watching you sleep
🧬 Marburg resurging like a boss battle
🦓 Humans trying (and failing) to ride zebras
🕷️ JWST showing off cosmic spider limbs
🦌 Deer ejecting their antlers like biological USB drives
🌬️ Sand dunes singing like ghost choirs
…AND SO MUCH MORE.
