Do grizzly bears really hibernate? The answer's complicated | CBC News

It's common knowledge that bears enter a deep sleep during winter, but what's the proper terminology for that? Calgary naturalist Brian Keating says it's more complicated than you might think.

When viewing the fake article in Google scholar on my university network, there is a link to access the article via my uni's library. That link sends me to a library page that makes fake article appear real... Turns out library page is made programmatically from info on Google scholar 🤦

Did y'all know that Nashville had TWO German-language newspapers there for a while?

Though relatively short-lived, I've found them to be pretty important when it comes to Tennessee's Black history.

Here is the percentage of white males age 30-39 working in professional, technical, and managerial jobs between 1850 and 2024. The current generation has not been squeezed out of such jobs. If there is any lost generation here, I would say it is boomers who were 30-39 in 1990. (@ipums.bsky.social)
