r0B0t: 'Mr. Robot' Season 2 could be as captivating, thrilling and jarring as its first
"Https%3a%2f%2fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com%2fuploads%2fcard%2fimage%2f142266%2fnup_172825_0518"

"Https%3a%2f%2fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com%2fuploads%2fcard%2fimage%2f142266%2fnup_172825_0518"

It doesn't take long for Mr. Robot to establish just how dark its sophomore season will be.

Its two-episode premiere brims with cringe-inducing scenes. Like Elliot Alderson (Rami Malek) standing hunched over — head tilted, eyes bulging — and laughing maniacally like something out of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Or that same Elliot taking a bullet point-blank to the forehead, only to stand up seconds later while oozing blood down his face, deadpanning the line, "Are you done?"

None of it makes sense — and it's not supposed to. At least not yet. These are the same kind of mind-numbing twists and turns that made USA Network's breakout hacker drama a hit. And it's the same kind of grit that will continue to make creator-writer Sam Esmail's summer thriller one of the most captivating shows on TV — at least, if the rest of the season lives up to Wednesday's hair-raising, reality-bending premiere.

Mount St. Helens emits heavy plume of smoke and ash

Full Text:

A heavy plume of smoke and ash is released from Mount St. Helens in the state of Washington. The once-quiet land volcano has erupted many times since its initial outburst on July 22, 1980, giving scientists a solid chance to study natural phenomena.

Scientists move closer to developing therapeutic window to the brain

Full Text:

Researchers are bringing their idea for a "window to the brain" transparent skull implant closer to reality through the findings of two new studies. The implant under development, which literally provides a "window to the brain," will allow doctors to deliver minimally invasive, laser-based treatments to patients with life-threatening neurological disorders, such as brain cancers, traumatic brain injuries, neurodegenerative diseases and stroke. The recent studies highlight both the biocompatibility of the implant material and its ability to endure bacterial infections.

Tropical forests overexploited by unsustainable logging
Widely hailed as a renewable natural resource, tropical timber from old-growth tropical forests is selectively logged worldwide at an unprecedented scale. A new study reveals that once prime tropical hardwoods -- such as Brazilian cedars, ipe (Brazilian walnut), and rosewood -- have been logged, they do not grow back to commercial levels and are at risk from disappearing altogether.

Analysis of ant colonies could improve network algorithms
An analysis of ant colony behavior could yield better algorithms for network communication, say investigators. Biologists have long suspected that ants base their population-density estimates on the frequency with which they -- literally -- bump into other ants while randomly exploring their environments. That theory gets new support from a theoretical paper. The paper shows that observations from random exploration of the environment converge very quickly on an accurate estimate of population density. Indeed, they converge about as quickly as is theoretically possible.

Least Tern juvenile (Sternula antillarum) eating a fish left by the parent. This was shot through a protective fence/barrier at Bolsa Chica, earlier in the afternoon than the other two images here, hence the lighting differences. (The terns were too far away for my lens, so this is heavily cropped.)
