In an essay posted on Medium, Haaland wrote of her heritage’s philosophy towards protecting public lands, noting, “they help preserve ancient histories of people who came before us–people who better understood the importance of honoring our land, water, and air.” She then quotes Qwatsinas, hereditary chief of the Nuxalk Nation in British Columbia, who once said: “We must protect the forests for our children, grandchildren, and children yet to be born. We must protect the forests for those who can’t speak for themselves such as the birds, animals, fish, and trees.” … [Read more...] about The struggle to be America’s 1st Native American congresswoman

During the November debate, Klobuchar and Kamala Harris seemed acutely aware of that double standard. (For Harris, it is compounded by the stereotype of the angry black woman.) Given the chance to address Buttigieg’s weaknesses on the debate stage, both candidates demurred—even Klobuchar, who has previously criticized his lack of experience. Instead, she segued into an observation thick with irony. “Women are held to a higher standard,” she said. “And I think any working woman out there, any woman that’s at home, knows exactly what I mean. We have to work harder, and that’s a fact.” … [Read more...] about 6 moments from the 2020 presidential race that mirror what women face at work

The earlier version of the label also featured what would have been the biggest single shift in label taxonomy, had it made it to this final version. All percentages were moved to the left, rather than the right. This saved time for someone who already knew how the label worked and just wanted to quickly check the percentage of fat or carbohydrates in a food. “Although it’s atypical to present information like that . . . my view was if you’re scanning something, it utilized the space in a more elegant manner than your eye going over the column,” Grady says. … [Read more...] about The Plodding 3-Year Process To Redesign The FDA’s Nutrition Label

How to Become an Intellectual, on SlideShare. I submitted two notices of copyright infringement, and those links were promptly taken down. As of early January, however, at least five links had popped back up. And that book, a piece of satirical nonfiction, only sold a few thousand copies; for more popular books, the links may prove that much harder—if not impossible—to totally scrub away. (In an interesting twist, my book was also pirated and translated by an Iranian publisher—in the face of longstanding U.S. sanctions, publishers in Iran routinely swipe books from American authors with impunity.) … [Read more...] about LinkedIn’s SlideShare is a vast emporium for pirated e-books.

At a taping of The Late Late Show 18 hours earlier, Corden was more Energizer Bunny than Peter Rabbit, bopping into the greenroom to welcome musical guests Fifth Harmony and then jogging across the stage for a quick preshow wave to the studio audience. A lot of late-night hosts on network TV still follow in Johnny Carson’s cool, detached footsteps, smoothly gliding out from between the curtains and tugging at their neckties during snarky monologues. Corden’s show has a more goofy, manic rhythm. Guests are interviewed two or three at a time, rather than individually, and asked to perform a range of dignity-testing feats. Tonight, for instance, the members of Fifth Harmony will take turns playing a game called Flinch, in which they will stand behind a transparent plexiglass wall holding martinis as Corden shoots apples and oranges at their heads with a high-speed fruit cannon (if they spill, they lose). … [Read more...] about James Corden Lives In The Moment.
