Ben Shapiro: "No one in the United States should be retiring at 65 years old. Frankly, I think retirement itself is a stupid idea unless you have some sort of health problem."

PCOS is being renamed to PMOS. (Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome) The change comes from experts that say the old name was misleading, stating that it inaccurately suggested ovarian cysts as a defining feature.

One of the English texts I had to use (Cengage) in 2012 had a chapter that included readings and questions like "Do you think the U.S. will ever have a black President?" I wrote the company and informed them they needed to update it. I included the editor's specific address, and I sent the email from my .edu college address. Never heard back. 2013 rolled around, "new" edition, no change of any type in that chapter. This time I took the complaint up the chain of command to the managing editor for the division (College English) and ... the "editor" (I use the term loosely) - a faculty member at a Midwestern public university gave the following excuse as to why she a) had never responded to my polite email they might want to UPDATE THAT CHAPTER after the election of President Barack Obama in 2008 and inaguration in 2009 like, 4 years later ... so she was "on sabbatical in Europe" and no explanation for not updating it in 2013 at all. Cost of book at the time: $62.

You have to have a very high IQ to use AI to it's maximum potential

Nobody in America voted for data centers. Nobody in America voted for AI. Nobody in America voted for surveillance capitalism. The entire fabric of our society is being changed without the will of the people. Without a vote.

Until 2014, growing food on your own lawn was illegal in Atlanta. Today, the city runs the largest free food forest in the country. The site sits in Browns Mill, a southeast Atlanta neighborhood where the nearest grocery store is a 30-minute bus ride and 1 in 3 residents lives below the poverty line. 1 in 4 Atlantans live in food deserts. Local officials call it supermarket redlining. The land was a working family farm until 2000, owned by Ruby and Willie Morgan, who were known in the neighborhood for leaving extra produce on the fence for anyone who needed it. The city of Atlanta, the Conservation Fund, and Trees Atlanta turned the abandoned 7.1 acres into a food forest. Over 2,500 pesticide-free edible and medicinal plants. Layered like a natural forest: ground cover and herbs at the bottom, shrubs above, small fruit trees above those, large pecan and nut trees forming the canopy. Anyone can walk in and harvest. Over 1,000 volunteers have built and maintained it. The Morgan family's habit of leaving food on the fence is essentially what the entire 7.1 acres now does. The neighbors just made it bigger. What's the vacant lot near you doing right now?
