Super rare wolverine spotted in Utah, filmed by a doorbell camera
"I would say the two sightings this year are the best sightings we've ever had," Mark Hadley with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources said. "It's way, way exciting for us." Like the sighting in May, biologists on Thursday confirmed with video that the animal was indeed a rarely seen Utah wolverine, a carnivore that loves to scavenge carcasses but can be hunters when food is scarce. Hadley said there are no known attacks of a wolverine on humans but still urged anybody who sees the animal to maintain their distance and if safe, use their camera to take photos and video without a... read more

Advocates Rally Against NYC’s Moving Homeless From Hotels To SheltersNew York City — A march and rally against New York City’s decision to move about 8,000 homeless individuals from hotels to shelters was held Saturday. The process has been put on hold, but many say it shouldn’t have happened to begin with. Homeless advocates blasted the city for pushing those sheltered in hotels back to congregate living. “Don’t you know housing is a human right?” one speaker said. Just as the city ramped up moving some 8,000 homeless people out of the hotels, a lawsuit brought by the Legal Aid Society brought the process to a standstill, including at the Hotel a... read more

Black People’s Reasons For Not Getting Vaccinated Are Much DeeperBy early July 2021, nearly two-thirds of all U.S. residents 12 years and older had received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine; 55% were fully vaccinated. But uptake varies drastically by region – and it is lower on average among non-white people. Many blame the relatively lower vaccination rates in communities of color on “vaccine hesitancy.” But this label overlooks persistent barriers to access and lumps together the varied reasons people have for refraining from vaccination. It also places all the responsibility for getting vaccinated on individuals. Ultimately, homogeniz... read more

The New York Post is reporting that "Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams’ recent victory in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary is more proof that calls to defund the police are a non-starter, even with black people, House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC) said." "Adams, a former NYPD captain and an outspoken proponent of increased policing to counter the city’s ongoing crime wave, edged ou... read more

The Old Man of the MountainSaladin was the target of several assassination attempts in the 1170s when he was trying to subdue Syria. The assassins (hashashins) belonging to the sect run by the fearsome Iraqi leader Rashid al-Din Sinan, popularly known as the Old Man of the Mountain, came close to killing Saladin on at least two occasions. In the last three decades of the twelfth century, Sinan’s sect was an unpredictable and formidable player in the politics of the Levant—their assassins often proved as effective as a military force. William of Tyre, twelfth century chronicler, believed that Sinan commanded a... read more

Capitalism: has the leopard changed its spots?“Let me be clear: capitalism without competition isn’t capitalism. It’s exploitation.”, US President Biden tweeted when signing an executive order to expand competition across the economy and crack down on monopolistic practices, describing a misguided 40-year “experiment” in letting US corporations consolidate with little regulation that he said has hurt ordinary Americans. “The heart of American capitalism is a simple idea: open and fair competition,” Biden said in a speech before signing the measure. He called himself a “proud capitalist” but said that he wants to “ensure our ec... read more

The Fight to Save Lifta, the Last Remaining Palestinian VillageToday, Lifta remains as a frozen time capsule. While the residents were expelled during Israel’s 1948 ethnic cleansing campaign (Nakba), the ruins of their homes still stand.

This is the only town Israel did not demolish after the Nakba, but a government plan may soon change that. read more

"The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" is one of the most popular and widely-played video games of all time. It's sold about 25 million copies worldwide since its launch in late 2011, and is still widely enjoyed. (If you put that into the context of the film or book markets, that would make Skyrim an absolute blockbuster movie, or a bestselling book, both on the level of *The Lord of the Rings* in both markets.) The music soundtrack for Skyrim has also been widely praised. Wikipedia notes: The team employed Jeremy Soule to compose the music for Skyrim, who previously worked on Mo... read more
