Now comes a third once-in-a-lifetime event]( “The ‘comet of the year’ is getting brighter. In the wake of the total solar eclipse and the sudden solar ‘superstorms,’ it’s looking more likely that we’ll also see a naked-eye comet later this year in the evening skies. Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS (C/2023 A3) is now getting brighter and growing a tail, according to Sky and Telescope. … Comets visible to the naked eye are notoriously difficult to predict in advance, but this one is expected to brighten substantially during October and possibly become as bright as Venus in the night sky. That would make it the ‘comet of the year’ — and possibly the century.” [// Forbes »]( [/noms] [Dice Cream - Diversifying your portfolio starts with dessert [Partner]]( [Diversifying your portfolio starts with dessert]( A few things your current portfolio is lacking: sprinkles, hot fudge, and ice cream.

He was one of the first to witness and document the current catastrophe. ‘It hurts because all the efforts we have been making for years are going down the drain,’ Pozo says, referring to recent efforts to protect the species.” [// Wired »]( [/hustle] [Want to be more productive?

Here's how Google executives structure their schedules]( “When a Google executive is feeling unproductive, they have a secret weapon: They can call the company's in-house productivity expert for help. … ‘After I ask an executive I'm coaching what their top three priorities are,’ Laura Mae Martin writes in her new book, Uptime, ‘I pull out their printed calendar from the last few weeks. I give them a highlighter and ask them to circle every meeting, task, or individual work time that relates to those three priorities. It quickly starts to become clear whether or not time spent is lining up with priorities.’ If your days often feel out of control, or if you're adding more items than you're checking off from your to-do list, you might want to run an exercise like this too.
