Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Duckworth to Hegseth: "You are blowing through money like my fellow cadets and I did in our first liberty after basic camp. Luckily I didn't end up with a questionable tattoo ... you're just an unqualified yes man who can't tell the president how to keep Americans safe."

In America, schools should be preparing students by teaching them the science, data, and facts they need to succeed — not conspiracy theories and lies.

www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Plummer et al. report on a fossil site from around 3 to 2.6 million years ago in Kenya, where Oldowan tools were not only present, but were also being used to process a variety of foods, including hippopotamus (2023)
Expanded geographic distribution and dietary strategies of the earliest Oldowan hominins and Paranthropus
Ancient Oldowan sites from Nyayanga show evidence of hippo butchery, plant processing, and the first Paranthropus, a type of extinct hominin, from southwest Kenya.

President Donald Trump today asked Congress to make massive and unprecedented cuts to the 2026 budgets of major federal science agencies. scim.ag/3Yszqnm
Trump’s proposed budget would mean ‘disastrous’ cuts to science
Key research budgets would shrink by one-third to one-half in 2026 spending plan

We often blame our fatigue on our modern lifestyles, but people who live in industrial societies actually get more shut-eye than hunter-gatherers.
Hunter-gatherers get less sleep than people in industrial societies
People in industrialised societies seem to sleep for longer than those in non-industrialised ones, but their circadian rhythms are more out of sync

There's a well-worn narrative of prehistoric human progress: First we were mobile hunter-gatherers, then we settled down to farm. But new DNA results from North Africa suggest the shift to agriculture wasn't as inevitable as European prehistory makes it look in retrospect. @science.org
Farming wasn’t a wholesale success when it arrived in North Africa
Unlike many Europeans, Stone Age groups in modern-day Tunisia and Algeria weren’t subsumed by the agricultural revolution

A Red Fox on a cold morning couldn't get enough of having fun rolling around on frosty grass. It was walking slowly across the grass when it suddenly got the zoomies! 😍
