I miss being a kid, excited to wake up early to watch the *entire* Macy’s parade, without commercials every 15 seconds and constant inane commentary from talking heads. Just the parade. *sigh*

This is fascinating research. And why we need science, and also, as the article notes, finally deeply listening to the oral histories of the Indigenous. It’s all there if we stop overlaying our cultural world views atop it.
How Easter Island's giant statues were transported remained unsolved for decades. Physics, morphological analysis and a comprehensive 3D map now show the moai, or statues, were "walked" upright across the landscape using principles of lateral oscillation. buff.ly/Lj0PMep

Sen. Kelley is a highly decorated Naval aviator and astronaut.
Hegseth is a notorious drunk. He is most notable for his time as a weekend anchor on Fox.
Attempting to court martial Sen. Kelley will be a major embarrassment for Trump
Good read from Robert Reich

The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.

A study of 42 Head Start centers reveals widespread mistreatment among early child care staff, driving stress, depression and burnout.
And that’s especially troubling because kids thrive when the people caring for them are supported and healthy.

A quarter of early child care educators in Colorado reported mistreatment from co-workers
Younger and more diverse teachers reported higher rates of bullying and discrimination by their colleagues. This can also affect the kids they care for.

A mother and her 15 year old autistic son are reunited after nearly 50 days apart.
Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE.
ICE sent him to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and his mom has been fighting to get him back ever since.
