A fluffy bear floating through the water in search of fish. Bears can float due to their thick layers of fat, which is less dense than water. Brown bears accumulate extra body fat during fall, allowing them to float while "snorkeling" for salmon.

the whole "women's sports exist to protect women from men" framing is hilarious, given that a lot of these divisions were initially formed because men were deeply embarrassed any time a woman beat them at a sport

For most of us, seeing the Klan 2.0, a.k.a. Patriot Front, march through Washington, D.C., unchallenged by authorities overshadowed any celebration of America’s 250th anniversary.
My ancestors lived through this. And no one today can say with a straight face that racism is behind us.

The Supreme Court on Monday gave the president the authority to remove the leadership of most agencies that Congress had set up to act independently of presidential control.

Katalin Karikó is one of the most extraordinary scientific stories of this era.
A girl from a modest Hungarian household helped develop technology that saved millions of lives worldwide.
In 2023, she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for discoveries that enabled effective mRNA vaccines.

"If you give the rich tax breaks, they'll lower prices for everyone else."
No, they won't. Want proof?
Every single MLB team owner is in the richest 0.1% and receives hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax breaks every year.
And it now costs an average $225 to attend a game.

“The pope should be careful before talking theology” is just extraordinary stuff. Top-shelf. You write one book that gets turned into a Ron Howard movie and suddenly you’re nailing your manifesto to the cathedral doors.
