Groups behind demonstrations estimate 500,000 at main protest, 250,000 at other rallies around country; police scuffle with activists blocking roads, arrest five


A Democratic group has released new audio of North Carolina Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, who is running for governor, saying that he wants to get abortion restrictions down to “zero” weeks.
In the audio, which the group said was recorded on Sept. 3 at a Robinson campaign event in Troy, N.C., a woman asked Robinson about his stance on abortion and why he was supporting North Carolina’s current 12-week ban on the procedure.


Il primo riferimento al dodo di cui si ha notizia risale al 1598 ed è opera di alcuni marinai olandesi. Negli anni successivi, l’uccello venne cacciato da marinai e specie invasive portate dagli uomini e il suo habitat venne distrutto. L’ultimo avvistamento accertato risale al 1662.
Scomparso nel XVII secolo dopo qualche decina di anni di convivenza non pacifica con gli esseri umani, il dodo è da sempre considerato un animale-simbolo dei danni causati dall’uomo.
Si dice che sia stato sterminato perché era un uccello lento e tonto ma ora un nuovo studio mette in discussione questi pregiudizi poiché tutto quello che sappiamo si basa sulle cronache dell’epoca, che erano una miscela di fatti e finzione spesso difficili da districare.
Per esempio, è noto che alle Mauritius, dove viveva il dodo, esistevano diverse specie di questo uccello; ma non è chiaro quali fossero il risultato di descrizioni fantasiose basate a volte sul paragone con bestie mitologiche.
Un team inglese ha quindi recuperato tutta la documentazione disponibile e ha cercato di separare mito e verità scoprendo che in effetti alcune specie, tra cui il dodo nazareno, erano state inventate dagli esploratori olandesi.
Altre, invece, tra cui il solitario (Pezophaps solitaria), erano invece reali e vivevano alle Mauritius insieme al dodo vero e proprio
Lo studio identifica anche quello che è il tipo biologico del dodo, cioè l’esemplare “base” che viene usato come riferimento e paragone per l’identificazione. Il team ha così collocato questo uccello nella stessa famiglia che comprende piccioni e colombe.
Il dettaglio più interessante, però, arriva dagli studi anatomici poiché il dodo aveva tendini molto potenti, simili a quelli degli odierni uccelli corridori.
Non era quindi l’uccello lento e stupido raccontato dalle cronache dell’epoca: era al contrario adattato al suo ambiente e poteva correre a velocità notevoli.
Il fatto che questo non l’abbia salvato dall’estinzione significa semmai che gli esploratori olandesi dell’epoca erano stati particolarmente efficaci a cacciarlo.

Two Russian government employees funneled nearly $10 million to Tenet Media, which hired high-profile conservative influencers such as Tim Pool, Benny Johnson and Dave Rubin to produce videos and other content that stoked political divisions. The indictment alleges that the influencers — who say they were unaware of Tenet’s ties to Russia — were paid upward of $400,000 a month.
These “conservative influencers” were chosen because they have large and devoted fans who believe whatever content they create. They apparently didn’t know who was footing the bill, but were no doubt thrilled to be paid $100,000 for each video they produced, up to four per month. Why ask questions when the pay is so good?
Now that they know who their sugar daddy was, will they rethink any of their views?
Should we think about teaching our children to be discerning consumers of social media so they are not taken in by propaganda?

…During the last two years, when I’ve told women I was writing about my pre-Roe abortion, stories poured out: Mine was in a dentist’s office; I had to go to Puerto Rico; mine was botched and I was so alone. That I’d prompted these revelations was surprise enough. More unnerving was that in almost every instance, the woman would lean forward: “You are the only person I’ve ever told,” she’d confide. “Only you will know,” a woman in her 50s whispered to me at a book signing last week.
Though friends who knew me in my 20s tell me I always seemed confident, it’s amazing to me that I was able to make such a decision on my own behalf before I even had a self. Now in my 70s, I realize that moment helped to form me, a woman who has made many decisions against the grain. I still seem confident to friends, but every time an important choice presents itself, I churn back to that long-ago lonely girl. How stunning now to join that mobilizing call where the importance of decisions like mine were acknowledged, where my life as a single working woman was not odd or unusual, where I was invited to shout as one of many.
