The Growing Fear Of Poverty Among Young Adults

A Turkish Footballer Did CPR on a Seagull Mid-Match. It Worked.
Some matches are remembered for the goals. Some for the misses. A playoff final in Istanbul last month will be remembered for neither because what happened in the first half had nothing to do with the scoreline, and everything to do with a bird that fell from the sky at exactly the wrong moment.

Study Reveals Microplastics Buried in Pre-Industrial Sediment Layers
Microplastics are now so widespread that scientists routinely find them in oceans, polar snow, and even inside the human body. What researchers did not expect, however, was to find them in sediment layers that appear to predate the age of modern plastic production. Yet that is exactly what multiple recent studies have revealed. In lakes…
He Bought google.com for $12; Google Paid Him Big to Get It Back

While major tech companies spend billions securing their digital borders, sometimes a tiny administrative oversight can leave the front door completely unlocked. In 2015, one late-night browsing session proved that even the most advanced…
Two Teenagers From Texas Just Did What the EPA Has Not
Microplastics are everywhere. At the summit of Mount Everest. In the deepest trenches of the ocean. In human blood, breast milk, and the dust settling on your kitchen counter right now. By some estimates, each person inhales and ingests roughly a credit card’s worth of plastic every single week. Particles that small pass through conventional…
NASA’s New Visualization Shows How Much Earth’s Oceans Have Risen Since 1993, and the Numbers Are Hard to Ignore
Imagine watching the sea rise in real time. Not through a news headline or a graph on a science website, but through a window, with water climbing steadily past a ruler, year by year, decade by decade, until what began as a gentle swell becomes something far harder to dismiss.
