Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin As the U.S. deals with a baby formula shortage, actress and author Bette Midler posted a tweet that led to a bit of a feeding frenzy on Twitter. On Thursday, Midler tweeted, “TRY BREASTFEEEDING! It’s free and available on demand,” in response to a holy oligopoly, Batman-tweet from Stephanie Ruhle, the host of The 11th Hour and a Senior Business Analyst for NBC News : Midler’s tweet certainly didn’t go unnoticed on the Twittersphere and got quite a response, as in thousands of responses.

Former Celtics player and human rights advocate Enes Kanter Freedom slammed the NBA on Thursday for the league’s choice to schedule games in the United Arab Emirates. In 2016, the NBA moved the All-Star games out of Charlottesville, North Carolina, over a bathroom bill it claimed was discriminatory toward the LGBTQ community. However, the NBA recently announced it will be holding preseason games in the United Arab Emirates, where homosexuality is punishable by death. Watch the latest video at foxnews.com “Is it really all about money?” Freedom said on “America Reports” with Fox News’ Gillian Turner. He then asked, if there was enough money on the table, would NBA commissioner Adam Silver schedule games in Russia or North Korea, too. “Where are your principles?” Freedom said. “People need to understand that this is hypocrisy. And this literally shows the NBA’s true colors.” I’m in disbelief! The @NBA is holding preseason games in the UAE … [Read more...] about Enes Kanter Freedom Slams NBA As ‘Hypocrites’ For Scheduling Games In UAE

When the Federal Communications Commission voted to institute strong net neutrality rules in 2015, it was because millions of people from across the political spectrum spoke out. If there’s one thing everyone can agree on, it’s that cable and phone companies shouldn’t be able to screw us over more than they already do, or dictate which websites and apps we can use. advertisement advertisement When the Trump administration’s notorious FCC chairman Ajit Pai repealed those Obama-era protections in 2017, the move sparked some of the largest online protests in human history.

As the world’s need for large amounts of portable energy grows at an ever-increasing pace , many innovators have sought to replace current battery technology with something better. advertisement Italian physicist Alessandro Volta tapped into fundamental electrochemical principles when he invented the first battery in 1800. Essentially, the physical joining of two different materials, usually metals, generates a chemical reaction that results in the flow of electrons from one material to the other. That stream of electrons represents portable energy that can be harnessed to generate power . The first materials people employed to make batteries were copper and zinc. Today’s best batteries – those that produce the highest electrical output in the smallest possible size – pair the metal lithium with one of several different metallic compounds. There have been steady improvements over the centuries, but modern batteries rely on the same strategy as that of Volta: … [Read more...] about How electric eels inspired the first battery two centuries ago

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline Georgia voters are still trying to keep Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) off the midterm ballot despite Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger ruling she can remain a candidate, as the challengers appealed Raffensperger’s ruling Monday and asked the state’s Superior Court to block his decision. Key Facts Five of Greene’s constituents, backed by the group Free Speech for People, argued the appeals court should overturn Raffensperger’s order, saying it was based on “errors of law.” The voters sued to block Greene from the ballot in March because they allege she’s an “insurrectionist” for encouraging the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol building, which would violate a provision of the 14th Amendment that bars lawmakers from serving in Congress if they’ve “engaged” in an insurrection after taking their oath of office. The appeal argues that Raffensperger, who on May 6 affirmed an … [Read more...] about Georgia Voters Appeal Decision Allowing Marjorie Taylor Greene To Stay On Ballot

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi had harsh words for the Supreme Court, Sunday, telling CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of The Union” that Trump-appointed justices had made the judiciary “dangerous” to freedom. “Who would have ever suspected that a creature like Donald Trump would become president of the United States, waving a list of judges that he would appoint, therefore, getting the support of the far-right, and appointing those anti-freedom justices to the court?” Pelosi exclaimed after Bash asked her why Democrats hadn’t anticipated an eventual overturn of Roe v. Wade. “Let’s not take our eye off the ball. The ball is this court, which is dangerous to the freedoms of our country,” Pelosi added, further suggesting that the court would also rule against marriage equality in the future. WATCH: Her words come after protestors have descended upon the homes of Trump-appointed justices, protesting the possible overturn of the 49-year-old Roe v. Wade decision. … [Read more...] about Pelosi Calls The Supreme Court ‘Dangerous To The Freedoms Of Our Country’

Companies inattentive to innovation get left behind--or worse, fail altogether. While those of us over 40 fondly remember starting our weekends with a trip to the video store, for example, the experience pales in comparison to conveniently streaming blockbuster entertainment from the comfort of your couch. While hailing a cab in New York City was fun the first time, there's nothing like the certainty of watching the map on your screen as a dedicated driver heads your way to pick you up. In other words, though one experience may have delighted us initially, a more innovative--and perhaps industry altering--option could be waiting in the wings vying for our business. Successful brands are those that out-innovate the competition. They never settle for the status quo, always seeking the next differentiator for their category. They survive in today's highly competitive landscape by continually evolving to deliver better products, better services, and--most importantly--better customer … [Read more...] about The Secret Ingredient to Finding Your Next Million-Dollar Innovation Idea
