I'm surprised how easy it is to stop shopping at Target (as someone who used to pick up every few days). I'm ordering things directly, being more mindful about whether I *need* something now or if it can wait, and avoiding fast fashion for my 5YO (probably the biggest category I shopped at Target)

The arrest of a former Columbia University student who gained prominence amid that campus's pro-Palestinian demonstrations has divided the U.S. Jewish community, which finds itself trying to reconcile a focus on Jewish safety and support for Israel with a historical commitment to civil liberties.
Among American Jews, a Schism Over ICE Arrest of Columbia Activist
Some organizations applauded the move. But the raid chilled other American Jews, even some who consider themselves supporters of Israel.

For the first time, the Norwegian government has calculated the value to society of the health benefits of increased walking and cycling.
🚲 ~€2.8 for each additional km of cycling
🚶♀️ ~€4.2 for each additional km of walking
🚲 ~€2.8 for each additional km of cycling
🚶♀️ ~€4.2 for each additional km of walking
Samfunnet tjener mye på at folk går og sykler!
Nye tall fra Helsedirektoratet viser at vi sparer:
🚲 33 kr for hver km folk sykler
🚶♀️ 49 kr for hver km folk går
Det er sammenlignet med at folk ikke er i fysisk aktivitet, f.eks. om de kjører bil.

Ending virology and vaccine research is far more dangerous than virology and vaccine research itself.
We can mitigate risks in the lab, but we can’t mitigate the catastrophic risk of being unprepared and defenseless against emerging viruses.
We can mitigate risks in the lab, but we can’t mitigate the catastrophic risk of being unprepared and defenseless against emerging viruses.
It is worth paying close attention to the new bill "Dangerous Viral Gain of Function Research Moratorium Act" introduced by Senator Roger Marshall.
If enacted, it will effectively stop all of virological research, including for vaccines.

It’s always good to remind ourselves that while technically, yes, the Puritans did cone here for “religious freedom,” it was actually “freedom to be ultra conservative, sanctimonious religious buzzkills“.
