Alan Ritchson Finally Confirms When 'Reacher' Season 4 Will Be Released

misryoum.com/us/us/alan-ritchs

For a show built on pulverizing fights, clipped one-liners, and Jack "it's just Reacher" Reacher bulldozing his way through bad decisions made by worse people, Reacher has built up an almost unfair amount of goodwill with action fans. That is...

Alan Ritchson’s Predator Clone Was Almost Great

misryoum.com/us/us24/alan-ritc

At a time when the Predator franchise is reinventing itself in dynamic ways, it's interesting to watch a film that is, at its core, a reworking of the original movie. War Machine, Netflix's new sci-fi action film from co-writer and...

How and when did astronomers begin to understand access to the #night sky as a human right? And what are the implications of doing so? 🌌 Read chapter 3 of my forthcoming book, #TransformingNight! #LightPollution #ArtificialLight #ALAN #Darkness #LightJustice

"[T]he presence of [artificial light at night] can disrupt the proper functioning of not only humans but all organisms on Earth that have evolved in conditions of alternating day and night. Cities are the primary source of LP, and the ever-increasing global urbanization makes LP one of the fastest-growing threats to our civilization. It is particularly dangerous because public awareness of its existence is exceptionally weak."

Alan Gardener’s Sandpaper – Ep. 68

In which we borrow Alan Gardener’s sandpaper, scout for girls, track an arms race, and follow some turtles.

"From a global perspective, #ALAN may be associated with an increased incidence of #anxiety. These findings have implications for #UrbanPlanning and the development of #PublicHealth policies targeting #LightPollution mitigation; nevertheless, further validation is necessary."

In recent trials, the elderly satellite #Sentinel-2A was switched on at night to see how it would perform in the dark – and the results have been strikingly positive, offering encouraging news for the follow-on Copernicus Sentinel-2 Next Generation mission, currently in development: esa.int/Applications/Observing #ALAN #LightPollution

Bids for ALAN2029

We are looking for a host for ALAN2029. Traditionally we have switched between Europe and North America, and ALAN2027 will take place in Chile, South America. For this reason, we would prefer bids from Europe over bid from the Americas. However, we would be even more excited to get bids from continents that haven't hosted an ALAN conference before.

Criteria for a successful bid are (not exclusively) the location, a reliable financial calculation, and a dedicated local team. If you are interested in hosting ALAN2029, we suggest to contact the steering commitee at an early stage of your application.

Deadline for bids: August 14, 2026

“Collectively, our findings highlight a previously underrecognized pathway by which urbanization alters vegetation #phenology, with implications for forecasting #ecosystem dynamics under continued #urban growth and climate change.” nature.com/articles/s41467-025

Phenology (sometimes called “nature’s calendar”) and senescence refers to the process by which trees and other deciduous plants put on and drop their leaves. If they do so at the wrong times, the results can be catastrophic, e.g., trees still in leaf in the fall can be brought down by early-season snow events.

"This systematic review provides evidence of an association between #ALAN exposure and #sleep disturbance. However, current research is still limited by methodological challenges. Nevertheless, preventive measures are required, including reducing nighttime #lighting and increasing public and policy awareness."

#LightPollution

Forest plot from a random-effects meta-analysis showing the association between artificial light at night (ALAN) exposure and sleep outcomes across 10 studies. Individual studies (Gabinet 2021; Hu 2022; Ikeda 2014; Johnson 2024; Koo 2016; Ohayon 2016; Patel 2019; Wang 2022; Zare Sakhvidi 2025; Zhong 2021) are listed on the left, with gray squares representing study-specific prevalence ratios (PRs) and horizontal lines showing 95% confidence intervals. Most point estimates are greater than 1, indicating worse sleep outcomes with ALAN exposure; two studies (Ikeda 2014 and Johnson 2024) show statistically significant effects with confidence intervals not crossing 1. The pooled random-effects estimate is shown as a green diamond with a PR of 1.27 (95% CI 1.12–1.45), indicating a higher prevalence of sleep problems associated with ALAN. Study weights range from about 8% to 15%. Heterogeneity is moderate to substantial (I² = 65.8%, τ² = 0.027, p = 0.0018).

Another light pollution/health study using the massive UK #BioBank dataset. “Our findings provide evidence that a higher #ALAN exposure is associated with an increased risk of incident [ulcerative colitis], with a significant dose-response relationship, but not with [Crohn’s disease]. Further studies are needed to elucidate the impact of outdoor ALAN on disease pathogenesis and outcomes.”
