I suspect that many younger women would be amazed to learn how recently women could not have credit cards in their own name, or, more generally, that feminism is not about vibes but about eliminating huge restrictions on what women can do.

Agrivoltaics boost crop yields even when the solar panels aren’t generating power. New research from Canada shows that shading crops with elevated solar panels creates a cooler, wetter microclimate that can lift yields and improve performance across dozens of crops.

A new study finds farmers can enjoy increased crop yeilds under partial shade of solar panels long after they stop working decades from now.

Costco loses a shipment of lobster to tech savvy thieves--a reminder that the grocery store shoplifting stories that locked stupid amounts of material under plexi in the US and UK were bunk and covered the ACTUAL theft problem: organized crime-level, and at warehouses and transshippers.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

A gentle reminder before the new year: You don't need to lose weight to fit into a bikini. You dont need to diet to please someone else. Weight loss companies are toxic of mlms that prey on people's insecurities. You dont need pills, shots, or lip filler to be beautiful. You already are.

Retail work will convince you that you know nothing and mean nothing, but... many of the poets in this collection are people with whom I have spoken once or twice. It's Iowa City. You can't sit down in a bar without hearing a poet nearby, nor can you walk out of range of their observation.

My best and most successful advice for those who want to give a teen a book: Give them a book that someone gave to you, and tell them the story of why it was meaningful to you. Inviting them to share in your experience means a lot to them. Trusting them with your story does, too.

This year produced the single largest mass mobilizations in the country's history. Its entire history. I think that there are people who would say that this isn't true EVEN AS THEY ARE LIVING THROUGH THOSE MOBILIZATIONS. It's something to see.

I’ve said it and I believe it is true There is a willful forgetting and suppression of the memory of the hundreds of protests that shook this nation for the past decade and a half. So while Canadians and European laypeople whine “Americans don’t do anything,” the Americans are actively suppressed

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

Back from a week in Canada visiting my in-laws. Normally we get together in the Poconos, as it’s central for all of the families, but the in-laws aren’t comfortable coming here under Trump’s new rules so we moved it all north of the border. That’s probably $8k that would’ve gone to Pennsylvania.

This is a big deal. In Japan, if you get a divorce one parent gets custody and the other parent never sees the child again. This was thought to be for the good of the child. Miyuki never saw her mother again after her parents got divorced when she was 5.
