Jeff Bezos paid $50 million for a wedding. He just got a $16 billion tax break. He just laid off 60,000 people.

Debate over imported solar panels just got awkward. A new study finds these imports already saved nearly 600 American lives by slashing massive amounts of air pollution. While policymakers argue about trade, the panels have just been quietly cleaning our air and preventing premature deaths.
New study reveals that solar panels are preventing premature deaths across the US: 'Their broader societal benefits are underexplored'
"These are benefits that extend well beyond electricity prices."

It’s difficult to underestimate the extra burden that this is placing on our public libraries. For example, on a daily basis library workers are now filling the in-person/human service gap that billion euro banking institutions have abdicated from to maximise their profit margins.

Lemurs are brilliant. I once was able to feed them, and I completely agree with their approach: they started with the sweet stuff. First grapes, then apples. Finally, only lettuce was left. The lemur took a leaf and looked at me in bitter disappointment, as in You want me to eat salad? Really???

James Watson ist gestorben. Bei der Gelegenheit würdigen wir doch die beeindruckende Wissenschaftlerin Rosalind Franklin für ihre vielfältigen Leistungen. Denn sie war mehr als nur die übergangene Heldin der DNA-Struktur.
Viele, die Rosalind Franklin kennen, denken v.a. daran, dass ihr Beitrag zur Aufklärung der DNA-Struktur nicht entsprechend gewürdigt wurde. Anlässlich des #Weltfrauentag möchte ich erneut in Erinnerung rufen, dass ihr dieses Image nicht gerecht wird.🧵 1/3
