In 1983 the Eighth Amendment to the Irish constitution enshrined an abortion ban that had prevailed in the nation for more than a century. Public opinion on the issue shifted in the new millennium, however, and by 2016 it was clear that a real debate could no longer be avoided. But even relatively progressive politicians had long steered clear of the controversy rather than risk alienating voters. Who would be trustworthy and persuasive enough to break the deadlock? The answer was a bunch of ordinary people. Seriously. The Irish Parliament convened a citizens’ assembly, whose 99 members were chosen at…

No matter what stage of life you’re in, I’m a big believer that you can wear whatever you want, whenever you want. There shouldn’t be “rules” or “dos” and “don’ts” just because you’re older or younger. Societal norms are shedding left, right and centre, and never before has it been cooler to age while staying true to yourself. Many of the most admired and most iconic women in the fashion industry haven’t done a 180 on their favourite looks just because they’ve hit 40, 50, 60 or more.A real tastemaker will be guided by what feels right, but we all have wobbles and moments…
Android phones around San Francisco’s Bay Area buzzed with an alert on Tuesday morning: A 4.8 magnitude earthquake was about to hit. “You may have felt shaking,” some of the messages read. More than a million Android users saw the alert. And for some, it arrived seconds before the ground even started moving.It’s not the first time Android devices have received these alerts, says Marc Stogaitis, the project lead for the Android Earthquake Alerts System. But because the Bay Area is so densely populated, the alert hit enough phones that the larger public took notice. Earthquakes have historically come without…

Great comedy, fun reveals, and a new character made Reginald the Vampire Season 1 Episode 5 the best hour of the season so far.

Though Thomas Edison is usually credited as the man who invented the lightbulb, the famous American inventor wasn’t the only one who contributed to the development of this revolutionary technology.

In 1800, Italian inventor Alessandro Volta developed the first practical method of generating electricity (opens in new tab), the voltaic pile.

While Gen Z is firmly in the throes of Y2K dressing, those of us who remember the low-slung jeans and crop tops from the first time around are looking elsewhere for some fashionable inspiration. It is a widely known fact that great style is ageless, and some of the most stylish women in fashion are in their 40s, 50s and 60s and have spent a lifetime curating their refined looks while still making current trends work for them.

Apple attempted to fix the flaw multiple times throughout 2022, but each time, Fitzl says, he was able to find a workaround for the company’s patch. Finally, Apple took a bigger step in Ventura and made more comprehensive changes to how it manages the permission for security services. In doing that, though, the company made a different mistake that’s now causing the current issues.“Apple fixed it, and then I bypassed the fix, so they fixed it again, and I bypassed it again,” Fitzl says. “We went back and forth like three times, and eventually they decided that they will redesign…

Ball-rolling bumblebees have become the first known insects to “play,” researchers say. The scientists recorded these tiny fliers manipulating wooden balls again and again in a series of new experiments. When animals repeatedly engage in behavior that does not provide them with food, shelter or another immediate benefit, researchers consider the behavior play. Play with inanimate objects is widely observed in animals, although most examples come from mammals and birds, with no record of the behavior in insects until now. Animal play is one piece of the puzzle when determining whether a group of animals is sentient—whether its members have…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Dungeon Crawl? There’s a YouTube channel featuring a creator who’s so familiar with games, that he’s got a knack for breaking them. I was watching him one day and thinking “I need to write a character like that.” Except, I thought it might be a lot more fun to make her a she, and have her go toe-to-toe with the developers who write her favorite game to break. If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Dungeon Crawl, what would they be? She’s So Mean…

So what, you might ask—it’s just plastic! After all, if you accidentally swallow a shirt button, it’ll pass straight through you, right? But when it’s broken down into microscopic fibers, spherules, and shards, it behaves very differently. These particles leach out toxic chemicals, including carcinogens. Their rough surfaces snag other toxins and microbes, transporting them to new environments and into bodies. Small creatures like plankton and insects mistake microplastics for food, so they get less nutrition, grow less, reproduce less, and sicken more easily, with effects that can cascade all the way up the food chain. Microplastics have been shown…
