Michael Moore’s Planet of the Humans racked up 8 million views in a month, then when they extended the free views for another month, YouTube finally found a reason to shut it down. Apparently 4 seconds of video isn’t “fair use” in a documentary any more, and thus for copyright reasons, the video got pulled. If Youtube took down every 4 second violation of copyright there’d be no Youtube. Which ma

Billie Eilish has spoken. In a short film released on her YouTube channel, the Grammy winner addressed people who made pejorative comments about her weight and clothing. Eilish premiered the film — entitled "NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY" — on the first night of her 'Where Do We Go?' world tour, which was later postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. "Some people hate what I wear, some people praise i

Virtual schools… I like the concept of shifting ‘time, place, path, and pace’ very much. But I think all of the virtual schools that I’ve encountered still focus primarily on low-level learning, digitized and chunked into a digital adaptive learning system. I don’t think I’ve ever seen ‘deeper learning’ or inquiry- and project-based learning as a core tenet of a virtual school. That said, maybe v
Street protests break out in Minneapolis and Los Angeles after Bridget Floyd says police officers involved ‘should be in jail’ The sister of George Floyd, the black man killed by police in Minneapolis after an incident captured on video in which an officer knelt on his neck as he lay on the ground, has called for those involved in his death to be charged with murder.

The body of a coronavirus victim is transported to a refrigerated container at a funeral home in Queens, New York, on April 29. | Spencer Platt/Getty Images The official toll, almost certainly an undercount, is the highest in the world. Officially, 100,000 Americans and counting have now died from the novel coronavirus , another unfortunate marker in the pandemic. In the three months since the fi

Researchers at the University of Southampton have shown that an extinction event 360 million years ago, that killed much of the Earth's plant and freshwater aquatic life, was caused by a brief breakdown of the ozone layer that shields the Earth from damaging ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This is a newly discovered extinction mechanism with profound implications for our warming world today.
A new era in space begins Wednesday with the launch by SpaceX of two NASA astronauts into space, a capability that for six decades symbolized the power of a handful of states, and which the United States itself had been deprived of for nine years.
Nature, Published online: 27 May 2020; doi:10.1038/d41586-020-01452-z Analysts are tracking false rumours about COVID-19 in hopes of curbing their spread.
Update 5/27 at 4:22pm: NASA and SpaceX scrubbed the launch due to weather, and will attempt to launch again on Saturday, May 30th at 3:22pm ET. At 4:33 p.m. ET today, a classic scene may return (weather permitting) to Cape Canaveral after a nine-year hiatus. Two astronauts will don flight suits, climb into a vehicle perched atop a powerful rocket, and blast off toward the International Space Stat

The video below reminds me of living in Washtenaw County, albeit in a condo on Geddes Road with a 9/11 parked out front. This was nearly 50 years ago and I used to run evenings, across the US 23 bridge, weaving up to Plymouth Rd and back down Huron Parkway. I had my own Arbery […]

Ellen has come up with some great ideas over the past 17 seasons, and since May is National Inventors Month, she revisited some of her favorites. From an item that revolutionized soup eating, to something called an “Adjust-a-Bust,” it’s no wonder why these inventions haven’t been made. #Ellen #TheEllenShow #EllenDeGeneres From: TheEllenShow

Somewhere we forgot about our war on Communism and here it is right in front of us. This was written in 2014. Since then we have at least aborted the full insurgency under Comrade Clinton. A near run thing it was though. Somehow we also chose to trust the Chinese CCP to become trustworthy. It has not happened. We no longer have time to wait for the good intentions of our sworn enemies to appear e
