After the engines shut down and 19-year-old Jerahleigh Johnson climbs out of her demolition derby car, people finally get a good look at the person who has been smashing them into oblivion. Off comes the helmet and out falls her long blonde hair. “I've had grown men say, ‘I haven't been hit that hard in years, let alone...

Flock Safety, whose surveillance cameras blanket the United States, released a slate of new privacy and transparency “safeguards” Thursday amid reports of police officers abusing the system and spying on innocent people. But critics say the move is largely about optics, warning Americans not to miss the forest for the trees: that a surveillance state has been built right before their eyes.“As long as Flock continues to value profits over privacy and continues to treat legitimate privacy concerns as mere PR issues, we are going to continue to see more Flock efforts like today’s that seek to create headlines about...

The number of bison being hit on roads in the N.W.T. appears to be on the decline. From 2021 to 2025, the N.W.T. Department of Environment and Climate Change (ECC) recorded 60 collisions with bison. So far in 2026 however, there has been only one. Terry Armstrong, Bison Ecologist with ECC, says the territory may actually have wildfires to thank for those statistics. “The immediate effect of fire is that bison change where they're spending their time,” he said. “Bison have a habit of moving into recently burnt areas and benefiting from those.” He says they can start to return...

Do other countries ignore science when they have fewer shots?By age 18, a child in the United States can receive roughly 30 to 75 total vaccine doses if they follow standard schedules and get annual flu shots. Fewer shots are needed because vaccines are combined. By comparison, in Germany, the Robert Koch Institute (via the Standing Committee on Vaccination, STIKO) recommends routine protection against about 12 to 15 infectious diseases for children. Because Germany relies heavily on multi-component combination shots (like the 6-in-1 hexavalent vaccine), children receive roughly 11 to 14 actual physical injections. Elsewhere in Europe, in England,...

A Roman cavalry mask. Found on the remote Baltic island of Gotland. Altered centuries later, with its right eye deliberately removed and buried beneath a longhouse -- possibly echoing Odin's sacrifice of his eye for knowledge. But why was a Roman object, made hundreds of miles away, being ritually transformed in Scandinavia? And what does it have to do with Sutton Hoo, Anglo-Saxon England, Viking helmets and the strange movement of Roman culture across Europe? The Hellvi Mask may be one of the missing links between Rome, Scandinavia and the warrior culture of early medieval Britain. A Roman Mask BURIED...

The Democratic Socialists of America is quietly building a network of activists to influence unions that are central to the Democratic Party. The organization’s plan encourages young socialists to select jobs where they can either unionize or join existing unions and move them further to the Left. While most Americans are aware of DSA-backed officeholders Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Zohran Mamdani, the strategy of placing members in unions may actually yield more important dividends to the organization’s long-term goals. The Rank-and-File StrategyFrom 2018 to 2021, the Young Democratic Socialists of America adopted a “rank-and-file” strategy as a national priority, emphasizing that...

After U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents tried to track down a New York man at his home, an airport and a hotel to confront him over a critical email he sent to the former head of ICE five months prior, federal officials are defending such investigations in court filings.
