Jewish and Christian ethics are fundamentally opposed actually and I'm not reading this or anything that headlines on "judeo-christian" ethics; a made up term intended to be used to excuse racism that makes no sense. Arguably, Islam and Christian ethics are closer than Jewish and Christian ethics.

Christopher Nolan’s central trick in “The Odyssey” is smuggling the core of Judeo-Christian ethics into the center of an ancient Greek epic, our columnist Ezra Klein writes.

Measles cases are at an all-time high and RFK Jr. is out here saying outright lies about the Covid vaccine.

There's a new measles outbreak in Delaware after a decade with no cases. In times of high transmission, outbreaks become more likely - and with falling vaccination rates across the country, these sparks are falling on increasingly dry timber. My latest: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

It's a point I've been trying to make for a long time: there is no good way to meet even 10% of current demand for animal products. They trash the living world, whichever way you do it. If you want to reduce your impact, switch to a plant-based diet. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

AI could potentially improve the lives of billions of farm animals worldwide. But critics worry it risks further expanding factory farms while avoiding animal welfare problems inherent to the industrial farming system. My latest on @sentientmedia.org: sentientmedia.org/ai-is-coming...

AI Is Coming to Factory Farms. Will It Help the Animals or Just the Industry?

The dark arts of data center promotion: anonymous texts promoting data centers was traced to Interfaith Action Movement, a "coalition of faith leaders." Its leader, political consultant Rev. Derrick Green, declined to name other faith leaders in his coalition or to name his current congregation.

Fish farming is rising even further. While the industry projects further efficiency improvements, there is no way to meet further growth without harvesting even more forage fish from the ocean, to serve as feed ingredients - fishmeal and fish oil sentientmedia.org/fishmeal-fee...

Fishmeal Feeds Livestock Farming — Sometimes at the Expense of Marine Ecosystems

Some pig and poultry farmers incorporate tiny fish into feed because of the nutritional benefits, but critics warn that overextraction of these fish could disrupt the marine food web.
