News overload
All across America, people are turning off the news. Some of them are liberals still traumatized by the election, for whom the idea of hearing about President-elect Donald Trump's latest ALL-CAPS pronouncement is just too triggering. Some are right-leaning bros, who believe that traditional media outlets have become too "woke" and that only moon landing-skeptical podcasters can be trusted to tell it like it is.

“We have conceded defeat like any consummate democrat will do, but we have not abandoned the fact to transform Ghana and expand opportunities to all sections of our society,” he said, adding, “To the rank and file of...
NASA Nighttime Images Reveal Arctic Industrial Activity
The Arctic, once defined by its frozen, inhospitable climate and long winter nights, is experiencing dramatic transformations as the region warms almost four times faster than the global average.
This rapid warming has spurred increased industrial activity and development, changes now illuminated in striking detail by nighttime satellite observations.
An international team of researchers, leveraging data from the U.S. Defense Meteorological Satellite Program, has discovered that artificial lighting in the Arctic increased by 5 percent annually between 1992 and 2013.
Over this 21-year span, 234,000 square miles of the Arctic landscape transitioned from dark to lit.Nighttime lights in the Arctic from 1992 to 2013.
