A few years ago, the Jamaican government made an unusual bet.
It went to investors around the world asking if they'd like to wager on the chances a major hurricane would hit the island in the next couple of years.
Would that bet pay off? And for whom?

I minored in Philosophy and it was absolutely foundational to my entire scientific career.
So our campus just announced the six undergraduate programs being put on the chopping block.
One of them is Philosophy.
Philosophy.
Can we be a university without offering a Philosophy major?

A new documentary, "Thoughts and Prayers," looks at how gun violence has led to school lockdown drills becoming a universal part of childhood in America.
That sparked the growth of an entire industry of active shooter preparedness products.

I cannot imagine what could possibly go wrong in trying to court-martial an astronaut and pilot decorated multiple times for valor and exceptional service, who is also a sitting senator, for correctly making the point that service members are obliged not to follow unlawful orders
Hegseth is now threatening to recall Sen. Mark Kelly to active duty in order to court martial him.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but there's actually no need to tolerate swastikas in our military ever. We don't need policy papers on this. We don't need long discussions and to "better understand" those who wear them. We can just ban all Nazi imagery and call it a day.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?
