A federal judge granted a preliminary injunction against the State of Texas and Governor Greg Abbott on Wednesday ordering that the floating border barrier in the Rio Grande be moved, as it “irreparably harms the public safety, navigation, and the operations of federal agency officials in and around the Rio Grande.” Wednesday’s order comes after Judge David Ezra of the U.S. District Court in Austin reviewed final arguments that were presented last month in the ongoing lawsuit over the placement of the 1,000-foot floating barrier, part of Abbott’s Operation Lone Star.

Rick Doblin: The Man Behind the 'Psychedelic '20s'

In June, I traveled to Denver with Zach Weissmueller to cover the Psychedelic Science 2023 conference, which was organized by the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), a group that has been working to gain approval of MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD and related ailments since the late 1980s. We produced a 30-minute documentary about what is rightly called today's "psychedelic renaissance," or a new flourishing of substances and subcultures that mostly went underground at the end of the 1960s. The documentary tells the history of psychedelics and how today's proponents of better living through chemistry are doing things in a very different way than ...
What Ever Happened to Gary Cooper?

I have a few confessions to make: After almost eight years of off-and-on war in Afghanistan and after more than six years of mayhem and death since "Mission Accomplished" was declared in Operation Iraqi Freedom, I'm tired of seeing simple-minded magnetic ribbons on vehicles telling me, a 20-year military veteran, to support or pray for our troops. As a Christian, I find it presumptuous to see ribbons shaped like fish, with an American flag as a tail, informing me that God blesses our troops. I'm underwhelmed by gigantic American flags -- up to 100 feet by 300 feet -- repeatedly being unfurled in our sports arenas, as if our love of country is greater when our flags are ...
Digging Deeper into Scripture: Matthew 18:15–20

During nearly thirty years of professional church work, I have often wondered which sin is most damaging to the local congregation. In my experience, it is not disregard for worship and Bible study, arguments over money, lack of unity regarding mission and ministry, lack of forgiveness, theft, or even adultery. In my experience, the single sin which most damages congregations is mismanagement of conflict between brothers and sisters in the faith. There are numerous reasons. Foremost, this mismanagement destroys trust, which damages relationships. But it also breeds gossip and character assassination, which can lead to loss of good reputation and even loss of employment. Mismanagement of ...
Watch an Early Silent Film About the Theory of Relativity

Albert Einstein first published his theory of special relativity in 1905; his work on general relativity followed in 1915. By 1923, Premier Productions made a silent film to explain the most salient bits. Though it’s entirely silent (and, of course, 100 years old), it’s a thoroughly lucid way to understand Einstein’s most important work—with some great vintage animation as well. The theory of special relativity revolutionized the ways that scientists study and understand the universe. It introduced the famous equation E = mc2, which stands for “energy = mass x the speed of light squared.” Fundamentally, special relativity proposes that mass and energy are the ...

The state Department of Education estimates that out of the nearly 3,000 students who were enrolled at four Lahaina public schools prior to the Aug. 8 wildfire, 1,757 of them have not enrolled in another public school or opted for distance learning. Department officials tell Maui Now that of the more than 1,700 outstanding students, some may have moved out of state, enrolled in private schools, or have taken a pause while they await the reopening of their Lahaina campus. The number has shrunk from 2,000 last week, “and so it’s been shrinking because more kids keep enrolling in our other schools or distance learning,” said Department spokesperson Nanea Kalani.
