๐ด Eating the Unspeakable: The Bible and Current Politics on Immigration
"The rumor of immigrants eating cats and dogs in Ohio goes in a slightly different direction but with the same aim: stoking virulent and violent xenophobia. The horror and hate that false claim evokes comes from the idea not only of immigrants eating cats and dogs but also โstealing the petsโ of American households."

"The practice of senior students extracting gifts or tribute from new students was common in medieval universities across Europe. The โbejauniaโ was a lavish feast paid for by the new student as part of their initiation into university life. It is thought that the St Andrews Raisin traditions may have developed from these roots."

"It's not as if Netflix conjured demand out of thin airโthey just ruthlessly optimized the artform until it reached its logical conclusionโwhich is a four- to eight-part docuseries about a celebrity, cult, sports star, serial killer, or all of the above. And you know why they keep making them? Because we watch them (didn't think about it that way, did you?)."

๐ด ๐ฏ๐ต Genetic analysis of a Yayoi individual from the Doigahama site provides insights into the origins of immigrants to the Japanese Archipelago
"One of the important findings of this study is that, in all analyses, among modern populations, the Korean population exhibited more genetic similarity to the Doigahama Yayoi individual than any other East Asian populations, except for the Japanese. This suggests that immigrants to the Japanese Archipelago during the Yayoi period primarily originated from the Korean Peninsula."

"Williams said the AIโs tendency to overprescribe could be because the models are trained on the internet, where legitimate medical advice sites arenโt designed to answer emergency medical questions but rather to send readers to a doctor who can."
