America’s trend toward higher profits, higher share prices, and mounting executive pay but near stagnant wages is unsustainable — economically and politically. It's time to bring back profit sharing. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Sixty years ago, a trailblazing sci-fi series that wouldn't have existed if Lucille Ball hadn't intervened, and Gene Roddenberry imagined a better society, capable of dealing with whatever existed where no one had gone before, took flight. Happy 60th Anniversary, Star Trek!👽🚀

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

I’m reading an article about the evolution of menopause (by Lynette Sievert, in the Yearbook of Bio Anth, 2024, for the Bioanth nerds), and I have to laugh at the point where she mentions that periodically, a new generation “discovers” menopause and thinks it’s “new”.
