Sad times for Fyre Festival 2 ticketholders (any fediverse folk admitting to having splashed out?) as its founder Billy McFarland has announced the cancelation of the event. But some lucky person will get to buy the brand, which is now for sale. When our @CultureDesk posted about this, they (and commenters) pooh-poohed the idea of anyone wanting to invest in Fyre Festival. But we have an idea: How about @theonion.com purchases the name, makes merch, and donates the money to good causes. We’d certainly pay for a “I went to the Fyre Festival 2, and all I got was this lousy T-shirt” tee.

Boca Chica Beach in the RIo Grande Valley, Texas, has been a secret place for generations of locals to fish, barbecue and camp. And then SpaceX came to town. @TexasObserver writes about how the launchpad and production facility for Elon Musk’s space-technology company loom over Boca Chica, and the efforts of some residents to resist further development.

How will Ukraine remember Joe Biden? @timkmak’s Counteroffensive covers the former president’s “checkered legacy.” “There’s a clear message in the results of American hesitancy: if the United States doesn’t stand up for democratic values, no one else is likely to lead,” writes Mak.

“Over the last few years, Ukraine’s firefighters have sadly become some of the world’s most experienced in fighting blazes in urban areas,” write the team at @timkmak’s Counteroffensive. They got advice from firefighters there on how to cope with the physical and emotional toll.

Is the testability of a theory essential to good science or is there room for more unconstrained exploration of ideas? @thetransmitter looks at whether this might be the case in relatively young fields like neuroscience.
