By questioning and verifying information, readers can cut through the spin and gain a more accurate understanding of the world, rather than relying on a one-sided narrative.

There is a wave of new owners.
The kind of idealist you just knew would end up running a bookstore, as she learned of book bans around the country, is amber salazar. Banned Wagon Books, a pop-up store, was opened last year by a resident of Colorado Springs, Colorado. The small businesses in my city who weathered some difficult storms through shutdowns and supply chain concerns inspired me to combine my love of literature and intellectual freedom with my appreciation for them. Most local stores, whether run by retirees, bookworms or those who switch careers in middle age, have some sense of higher purpose. It is an important mission for many who opened in recent years.

The economist explains which big purchases you may want to make now.
As the White House announced a slate of tariffs, Americans headed straight to car lots. Expecting parents were encouraged to secure a car seat and stroller before it was too late. Some questioned if they should buy Christmas presents now. As tariffs have been announced and then scaled back, many consumers are left unsure of what to do and tempted to make big purchases or stock their pantry now in case prices suddenly increase. The managing partner of a hedge fund told the New York Times that there was panic buying and panic selling. It's more chaotic than I've seen before. The speed has been crazy.

The U.S. is at risk of losing its reliable investment status.
Republican efforts to gut legislation supporting key industries such as clean energy may result in the US losing its status as a destination for investor capital, according to one of Europe's biggest asset managers. Alex Bibani, a London-based senior portfolio manager at Allianz Global Investors, said that the US may no longer offer the reliable investment runway it did just months ago. The decision by House Republicans to pass a tax bill that would do away with many of the incentives contained in the Inflation Reduction Act threatens to upend investment strategies. Even if the Senate votes to block some of the House proposals, European asset managers still have to contend with a new level of uncertainty and volatility that may ultimately force them to turn elsewhere, Bibani said. Unless clarity is restored, project economics, supply-chain commitments, and capital flows may now pivot toward more stable jurisdictions like Canada or the EU. It is the latest wedge dividing Europe, where emissions reductions are anchored in law, and the US, where the Trump administration has mounted a full-throated attack on net zero policies. The bill agreed by House Republicans is not good for investors, according to analysts at Jeffries. The repeal of the IRA would mark a reversal of US clean-tech policy....

Scientists are trying to find out if there is life after extinction.
On a shrub-covered dune in San Francisco's Presidio, a group of volunteers huddle around a tiny plastic container placed delicately amid a cluster of orange-yellow flowers. Inside is a Silvery Blue butterfly whose inch-long wings beat sleepily, revealing its shimmering namesake hue as it sips on a cotton ball doused in fruit punch. Trump signs executive orders to boost nuclear power, speed up approvals, Louisiana stifles community air monitoring with threat of million-dollar fines, and Senate votes to block California's rule banning the sale of new. The Xerces Blue Butterfly was the first butterfly on the planet to go extinct as a result of human activity, and it flapped its wings over the Presidio just over 80 years ago. Kapan hopes that by releasing Silvery Blue and over a hundred others over the past year, there can be some sort of life after extinction. The idea of bringing species back from the brink or filling their role with surrogate creatures has been an effort for decades. Last month, that idea burst into the popular consciousness when the stark white coats of "Dire wolves" graced the covers of magazines across the world. A group of scientists led by a researcher from UC Santa Cruz claim to have brought back the extinct creature....

Your time off is important for your health and productivity because you are too busy to rest.
" Please submit your vacation plans for the year" is the email that sits in Kyle's inbox. He looks at his project schedule and then at his family photo from last summer's short weekend at the lake. There are deadlines stretching into next quarter on his calendar. He moved the email to his "Later" folder for the third time this month. Millions of Americans find themselves in the same situation as Kyle, postponing vacations and stockpiling unused leave days, believing next month will be less busy. Workers leave billions of dollars worth of paid time off unused each year in order to give their earned benefits back to their employers. This isn't just about unused benefits, it's about how humans function at their best. Toxic work culture, demands for overwork, or unsupportive bosses are some of the reasons why employees don't take available leave....

An Unlikely Racing Game Perfected The Mario Kart Formula.
The cart racer is a subcategory of gaming. These arcade twists on racing sims are usually fast-paced party games. Your cousin and grandfather can both play Mario Kart, even though they aren't going to play the same game. The last thing anyone expected when Bizarre was purchased by Activision was a hard break from their street racing series. Their first game under the banner was a third-person shooter, but their follow-up was one of the greatest arcade racers ever made. Bizarre's masterpiece masterfully balanced realism and fun, yet tragically led to the developer's demise. Blur looks like any other 2000s racing game. It features real car manufacturers like Ford and BMW, and in stills, it looks like one of many games influenced by the Fast and Furious franchise, where racers compete for first place in the dead of night....

If you're planning to fly with a portable power bank, read this first.
Southwest Airlines has a new policy prohibiting the use of portable charging devices in overhead bins or closed carry-on bags. The policy will go into effect later this month in response to a number of incidents involving excessive heat, smoke or fire. Southwest will introduce a first-in-industry safety policy on May 28 that will require customers to keep portable charging devices visible during flights. The use of portable charging devices while stored in a bag or overhead bin will no longer be allowed. The FAA banned portable charging devices from checked bags for safety reasons. The FAA says hazardous items that can endanger the traveling public when not handled correctly include these devices. The FAA says that all batteries are capable of overheating and undergoing a process called thermal runaway. The FAA has recorded 33 reports of incidents caused by the batteries in power banks, cell phones, laptops, and tablets....

My birthday is celebrated in the most official way possible.

The common denominator of all people who need to drive is the Department of Motor Vehicles. The need to get your license renewed is not dependent on age, ethnicity, or financial standing. My license renewal date is the same as my birthday, so I spent the afternoon of my birthday in a sea of strangers at the Department of Motor Vehicles.

They want you crucified. The World Economic Forum is the cradle of globalists and utopians and has pushed some of the most crazy ideas for years. The WEF's neurotech expert discussed how to plant false memories in the brain, as well as using pain as a coercive tool. In her 2016 op-ed, Ida Auken said that there was no privacy and no property. Critics called the vision of a future without ownership and privacy a utopian one. Yuval Noah Harari warned of Artificial Intelligence-driven techno-fascism, claiming machines could soon make decisions, control money, and even invest.
