A national effort to circumvent the Electoral College has gained another state.

College students who participate in walkouts could be suspended or expelled under a new measure passed by the Tennessee General Assembly on Monday.

The new research is the first to measure community water fluoridation exposure during childhood and any potential impact on cognition up to age 80.

Swiss Ice Hockey coach Patrick Fischer has admitted he used a certificate falsely claiming he had been vaccinated against COVID-19 to get around China’s travel restrictions for the 2022 Winter Olympics, where he led his nation.

The ⁠United States military has ⁠carried out another attack on a vessel in the eastern Pacific, killing two people, in the latest deadly strike by US forces on boats that Washington alleges have links to Latin American drug trafficking cartels.

A prolonged disruption in the Strait of Hormuz could result in a global food “catastrophe”, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has warned, as shipments of critical agricultural inputs remain blocked in the key waterway due to the US-Israel war on Iran.

An 86-year-old French woman who moved to the US last year after rekindling a 1960s romance is being detained at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) centre in the state of Louisiana.

A former student opened fire at a high school in southeastern Turkey on Tuesday, wounding at least 16 people, before killing himself, an official said.

So much for Trump’s bluster. Turns out that the US Navy isn’t actually in the Strait or the Persian Gulf but is operating in the Gulf of Oman and Indian Ocean because they’re scared of coming under fire from the Iranian navy and missiles that Trump said were 100% destroyed.

A good start !

Could be something peculiar to Nvidia GPUs, or maybe it’s just Firefox, but I never see this colour anywhere else, only when something causes a glitch in the rendering of video content. Sometimes it’s not just the video player that goes green, but the entire viewport of the browser window. I’m mainly curious why it’s that colour, rather than just black or white or something like that.

At this point Trump is pretty much the Anti-Christ.

Because of the ubiquity, nay, monopoly of systemd I always assumed it was miles ahead of other init systems. Nope. I’ve been using a non-systemd environment for a while and must say I’m surprised by how little breaks, i.e., next to nothing. Moreover, boot and shutdown times are faster, and more of that good stuff. I suggest trying it out.

Sexologist Shere Hite wrote one of the best-selling books of all time, The Hite Report; transformed the lives of millions of people through her eye-opening findings about the female orgasm; then vanished from public awareness in the course of a mere 50 years. That, at least, is the argument of a new book by the London-based academic Rosa Campbell, The Book That Taught the World to Orgasm and Then Disappeared, as well as a 2023 Dakota Johnson–narrated documentary, The Disappearance of Shere Hite. The framing of both these works is tricky; to say that no one talks about or remembers a thinker of the relatively recent past is a fuzzy practice, as it depends entirely on who you know and talk to. I happen to remember Hite and her books quite well, but Campbell—who appears to be younger than I am—maintains that when she told her colleagues and friends that she planned to write about Shere Hite, she got nothing but blank looks in response, and we’ll have to trust her on that.
