Men’s brains shrink faster than women’s: what that means for Alzheimer’s

Every poorly executed solar project becomes a point of friction for future deployment. If you are developer, consider hiring a landscape architect and creating opportunities for new public spaces in and around your project. PV modules are not inherently ugly and they're completely safe to be around.

I understand the sentiment of "we need to find some way to not all see each other mortal enemies" but it REALLY REALLY needs to be made expressly clear that one side wants to live and be happy and the other side is "that's a line too far and you must suffer and die" and you can't Kumbaya that.

a bullshit statement from Keira knightley saying she was not aware of a boycott against jk Rowling before taking a job on the new audio series and that she's "sorry" and "we're all going to have to figure out how to live together and we've all got very different opinions"
She can fuck off.

The sources are indeed multifactoral, but if the kids views and actions are this malignant, they are either being taught this, or at least not taught it’s wrong, at home.

The Taxpayers' Union congratulates fellow Atlas Network participant Maria Corina Machado for winning the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize over the weekend.
Taxpayers' Union Executive Director Jordan Williams said:
"Pro-freedom think tanks in Venezuela were among the very first Atlas Network partners in the early 1980s, promoting the ideas behind the movement for human rights and democratic norms in Venezuela that inspire the country's residents to this day. Machado has tirelessly strived to promote democracy and fight dictatorship in her country."

"Although Machado's involvement in Atlas predates mine, she was heavily involved in Atlas Network at about the same time as New

Brassica oleracea, also known as wild cabbage in its uncultivated form, is a plant of the family Brassicaceae. The species originated from feral populations of related plants in the Eastern Mediterranean, where it was most likely first cultivated. It has many common cultivars used as vegetables, including cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, romanesco, kale, Brussels sprout, collard, Savoy cabbage, kohlrabi, and gai lan.

Interesting to see the Kremlin-financed erstwhile Tenet Media's Lauren Chen still focussed on New Zealand through the promotion of anti-Māori frames which gel with ascendant, & already well-established domestic, & transnational white supremacist, & far-right narratives. Cui bono? #nzpol
