So if a doctor in Texas performs an abortion, they are fined $100K, lose their medical license, and get a life sentence. If a woman in Texas gets an abortion:, she's fined $10K and sentenced to life in prison.

But if a man forces his wife to take abortion pills, it's 180 days jail.

Tell me it's not about controlling women.

"A tablet of wood inscribed with the undeciphered "rongorongo" script from the Eastern Pacific island Rapa Nui is one of the few independently invented writing systems.

The wood from one of four rongorongo tablets preserved in a collection in Rome dates to between 1493 and 1509 — more than 200 years before the first recorded arrival of Europeans on the island in the 1720s."

"When the spreadsheet launched in 1979, it was a bewildering piece of software. People had no idea what they were looking at. A computer screen, filled with a grid of numbers? As Keith Houston explains in his new history of the pocket calculator, Empire of the Sum, they hadn’t realised that the rows and columns of a spreadsheet could be functional rather than decorative."

"Antivaccine perceived experts are therefore overrepresented on Twitter compared to the share of actual biomedical experts who oppose COVID-19 vaccines, which may lead observers to underestimate the scientific consensus in favor of COVID-19 vaccination, in turn reducing vaccine uptake"

"Some people can’t tolerate the side effects of the drugs and have to stop taking them. Others simply don’t respond. For some, the strength of the dose, or length of the treatment, does not seem to make a difference. Appetites might remain robust; the “food chatter” in the brain may stay noisy. Together, both groups of less successful GLP-1 users account for a not-insignificant share of patients on these drugs—potentially up to a third."

"The Times lost five hundred and forty-three million dollars in 2006. A couple of years later, the company borrowed some two hundred and twenty-five million dollars against its recently completed Times Square building.

But papers serving smaller markets never rebounded: between 2005 and 2024, roughly three thousand newspapers in the U.S. have closed."
