While most of the planet warms, a patch of ocean south of Greenland—often called the “cold blob” or “North Atlantic warming hole”—is not warming. In fact, depending on which years you look at, it has actually cooled since industrialization. In this video we investigate this odd phenomenon which has implications for the future of our climate and the stability of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). The AMOC is a system of currents that transports heat from the tropics to the North Atlantic, regulating weather patterns across Northwestern Europe and beyond. However, recent evidence suggests this vital system may be weakening. Could human-induced climate change, specifically the warming of the ocean and the influx of freshwater from melting ice, be pushing this circulation toward a tipping point? We take a journey through centuries of oceanographic discovery to understand the overturning circulation, the urgency of research on the AMOC, and what the potential collapse of this system could mean for the stable world we built our civilizations on.

Tom Ellis reads a letter about a turbulent love affair

💾

When he wrote this remarkable letter to a friend in 1912, D. H. Lawrence was newly and turbulently in love with Frieda Weekley, a German author who had left her husband and children to be with him. Clearly, the pressure was unbearable for all involved. Two years later, Lawrence married Frieda. They remained together until his death.

Tom Ellis joined us to read this letter at Letters Live at The Town Hall, New York in May 2026.

Deadly chemical cousins: oranges and yellows | Stories in Colour Podcast S2 Ep3 | National Gallery

💾

What makes two volcano-born pigments so dangerous? Hint: they weren’t scorching hot when artists used them. Orpiment and realgar both contain arsenic, a foe we’ve previously faced on ‘Stories in Colour’.

From volcanoes to ancient alchemical practices, art historian Evie Hatch joins Beks to uncover the origins and histories of these orange and yellow pigments. Together, they discuss how orpiment and realgar have been used, where their names come from and the risks artists faced painting with them.

Evie Hatch is an art historian specialising in the history and characteristics of artist pigments. She is the writer and presenter of Jackson's Art Pigment Stories series and author of the 2025 book ‘Pigment Stories: The History of Artists' Colour’.

Você acha que há possibilidade de justiça num lugar desses?

💾

O plenário da sala Rubens Recalcatti, presidido por Ademar Traiano, decidiu que é legal, constitucional e justa a minha cassação.

Que ironia, o nome da sala da Comissão de Constituição e Justiça homenageia o Rubens Recalcatti, justo ele que assassinou uma pessoa rendida e ajoelhada em Rio Branco do Sul, região metropolitana de Curitiba. O deputado que cometeu o crime mais grave possível, assassinato, mesmo assim não foi julgado pela Assembleia do Paraná! Pelo contrário, ficou lá até seus últimos dias e segue “honrado” na comissão mais importante da casa.

Outra ironia: Ademar Traiano, o deputado que eu eu denunciei e provei que é corrupto, também não foi levado à Comissão de Ética, não respondeu processo e nem recebeu punição alguma. Pelo contrário, acabou “honrado” com o cargo de presidente da Comissão que me julgou e condenou.

Isso tudo junto deixa de ser ironia e vira chacota!

176. Attention

💾

Are you paying attention when you scroll online? In episode 176 of Overthink, Ellie and David draw your attention to attention. They explain why attention is so hard to define and debate the extent to which it should be equated with consciousness. Is attention the same thing as consciousness? Or are there important differences between these concepts? They consider different ways that attention has been classified, from “overt vs. covert” to “effortful vs. effortless” to “voluntary vs. involuntary.” Ellie and David then discuss the commodification of attention and how it has been intensified by the digital era, or what Chris Hayes calls “the age of attention.” How has social media changed the way we attend to the world, to ourselves, and to others? Is our attention still our own? Or has it become alienated? In the Substack Bonus Segment, Ellie and David talk about Simone Weil’s and Iris Murdoch’s ethical approaches to attention.

Overthink is a philosophy podcast hosted by your new favorite professors, Ellie Anderson (Pomona College) and David Peña-Guzmán (San Francisco State University). Check out our episodes for deep dives into concepts such as existential anxiety, empathy, and gaslighting.

Why losing a dog scientifically sucks

💾

Why does losing a dog hurt so much?

Dogs aren’t just pets. They’ve been part of human life for roughly 20,000 years—about 10,000 years longer than cats and thousands of years before horses entered our lives. For millennia they’ve hunted with us, traveled with us, guarded us, slept beside us, and become part of our families.

There’s also biology behind it. Humans and dogs experience mutual oxytocin release when we interact, strengthening the bond between us.

Maybe that’s why losing a dog can feel so devastating. They’re often the family member we see every single day.

What was the name of the dog you’ll never forget?

Humans and dogs = 20k years

💾

I love dogs.

While there’s been 60-70 million years since we last shared a common ancestor, humans and wolves share so many similarities.

We’re both highly social mammals that live in close family groups, we’re top predators with similar prey breadth, and we invest a lot of time in rearing our young.

Through a language of food, reward, and cooperation, wolves were easily able to socialize and bond with humans - both socially and chemically- over 20,000 years ago. This process is why domestic dogs are still so prevalent today, and why their species name means - the Friendly Wolf.

In ancient times dogs were integral to human survival. Today they serve as tools and companions. And I have no doubt, as far into the future, they will remain alongside us to the end of days.
