I've just started reading Kathleen Hanna's autobiography, 'Rebel Girl'. I'm 5% in and it's enthralling, in a few different ways, as you can tell from the quotes.
Thank you, friends, for making my book MY LOST FREEDOM a New York Times bestseller. It is a privilege to share the story of my family, our resilience, and the importance of staying true to yourself in the face of injustice with a new generation of readers.

The surface of Enceladus is sometimes known for its strange, surprising, backlit plumes. Now: Europe could be heading towards Saturn's moon in search of life.
Intelligent life? Who knows.
Closer to home: we have international consensus that no amount of money need be spent on the search for intelligent life beneath the strange, hair-like, backlit plume that is sometimes photographed emerging from surface of planet Trump as it orbits the courthouse.
Venus wasn’t always hot and uninhabitable. Scientists think the second planet from the sun could have had as much water as Earth billions of years ago, and may have even supported life if any of that water was in liquid form. But researchers have a new theory as to how our neighbor in the solar system lost nearly all of its water and why it may have happened far faster than initially thought. The Conversation has more on the study.
The rating of #Netflix 's #GoodByeEarth continues to plummet in TMDB, IMDB, Trakt, MyDramaList, thanks to the unrelated English title, & incorrect marketing.
They should've translated the Japanese/Korean titles instead, which set the correct expectations.
Howdy, all. I understand that "life coach" is a thing now for normal people, not just obnoxious celebrities.
Y'know, I could do that. Let's see...I met a woman with a thumb tat to remind her to live in the moment. I blurted: I mastered that a long time ago. It's not all it's cracked up to be. It's a defense mechanism against powerlessness; me, I'd rather be allowed to live for the future.
If you want /that/ kind of life coaching, HMU. I don't charge money.
Jezero Crater was chosen as the landing site because it contains the remnants of ancient muds and other sediments deposited where a river discharged into a lake more than 3 billion years ago.
If there was life in that lake, Perseverance might find evidence of it.
Ah, the sweet smell of a production Linux container image… generously seasoned with sshd and a whole host of unwanted services you definitely didn't need. If only my "if" statements were as reliable as my morning coffee. Lmao. #linux#devops#sysadmin#life
Is life capable of spreading from planet to planet? A pair of astronomers recently proposed a detection strategy based on the concept of panspermia, the idea that life can start on one planet and spread to others by hitching rides on meteorites.

Genesis: The Scientific Quest for Life's Origin by Robert M. Hazen
2005
Genesis tells the tale of transforming scientific advances in our quest for life's origins. Written with grace, beauty, and authority, it goes directly to the heart of who we are and why we are here.
A new lab-based study shows that individual ice grains ejected from these planetary bodies may contain enough material for instruments headed there in the fall to detect signs of life, if such life exists.
Even a tiny fraction of cellular material could be identified by a mass spectrometer onboard a spacecraft.
Gig workers around the world often work long days in order to make ends meet, and since they're constantly on the move, they struggle to find places to rest, eat, or use the bathroom. @restofworld spoke to 104 ride-hailing drivers, delivery workers and cleaners in 10 countries around the world about how they meet their basic needs while they're working. "There are close to 435 million gig workers globally, and our survey showed that for most of them, rest is a luxury," writers Lam Le and Zuha Siddiiqui found.
What to do if someone collapsed due to heat exhaustion/heat wave/heat stoke?
(This is NOT a medical, nor first aid, advice. It's sharing something I learned years ago.)
If you know they collapsed because of heat, then any liquid is a must. The objective in the current situation is to replenish their water and cool down their body.
In a doctor talk show years ago, a caller asked, "What if the patient have certain liquid restrictions?"
The doctors agreed that in such an emergency, what is important is for the patient to survive, and in such a case, it is liquid and cooling them down. The side-effects can be addressed once they are out of danger. They also even suggested a worst-case scenario wherein only dirty water is available, in that case, use it. The hospital will take care of the rest.
The point being made was that, the patient will likely die if their liquid is not replenished and their body isn't cooled down. Replenishing the body's liquid is the first step in cooling down the body; moving the patient under a shade helps the outside of the body, but the internal cooling down is the critical part, that's where the patient is struggling.
It becomes very delicate for those with conditions like diabetes. In a scenario where only soda/softdrink is available, would it be safe to give it to the patient as first aid? More likely not, especially if their diabetes is really not good, and it becomes a big decision if you know, or were informed, the patient is diabetic.
This is why we should always bring water with us. Buy one or two. It will not only save your life, it can save the life of others too. You never know when the water you're carrying will be needed to save someone else's life.
And of course, you don't want to be the patient of a heat exhaustion or heat stroke.

"A controversial theory posits that life began when RNA spontaneously began to replicate itself — and now researchers are claiming they've replicated part of that process in a lab."
Futurism reports: "The Salk Institute for Biological Studies scientists worked from the theory that before there was DNA or proteins, RNA existed as the initial ingredient in the so-called 'primordial soup.'"
