Celebrity Traitors: un neurocientífico explica si realmente se puede hacer bostezar a alguien fingiendo un bostezo
En el programa de telerrealidad de la BBC The Celebrity Traitors, los traidores —James Acaster, Maya Jama y King Kenny— recibieron un desafío insólito: asesinar a un fiel provocándole un bostezo. Su plan consistía en aburrir tanto a su objetivo que acabara bostezando y, después, pronunciar la frase «¿Te estoy aburriendo?» para consumar el asesinato. La prueba juega con una de las características más extrañas del bostezo: su capacidad para propagarse de una persona a otra.
Celebrity Traitors: neuroscientist on whether you can really make someone yawn by faking it
In the BBC reality show The Celebrity Traitors, the Traitors – James Acaster, Maya Jama and King Kenny – were set an unusual challenge: murder a Faithful by making them yawn. Their plan was to bore their target into yawning, then deliver the line “Am I boring you?” to seal the murder. The task plays on one of yawning’s strangest features: its ability to spread from one person to another. Seeing someone yawn can be enough to trigger a yawn of your own, sometimes even when you are not tired.

As the World meets to discuss our common future, Kenya’s voice counts
When the United Nations was born in June 1945, only 51 of today’s 193 Member States were at the table in San Francisco to craft the architecture of multilateralism. The deep challenges we face are universal and universal challenges demand universal approaches and actions. The United Nations is still the only forum where this can happen. But too much power, too many processes and procedures within the UN reflects yesterday’s realities, not today’s – still less tomorrows.
A Tour of Designer John Derian's Studio

At the same time, lobby group Jamaica Environment Trust, JET, has raised concerns about the use of water from the sea to cool the proposed plant, for fear it could kill sea life in the Kingston harbour.

An Inside Look at the Yogurt Cup Mafia and the McFlurry Racket on Apple Podcasts
46 min Today, we're talking about stuff — the stuff we don't want that we can't get rid of, and the stuff we do want that we can't quite keep. Two big stories clutter our minds: one is about a new report on how organized crime controls the lucrative, and corrupt, recycling market; the other is about the "Right to Repair" movement, a struggle to give consumers the ability to fix our own damn smartphones, dishwashers, and million-dollar agricultural equipment. 46 min Top Podcasts In News

The second half of Stephen T. Jackson’s column “Living Icicles,” begun in May 2021, continues.

The building was home to several businesses, including the Bell Telephone Company’s local phone exchange and the WHBU Radio Station.

eFootball PES 2021 Will be a Content Update for PES 2020
eFootball PES 2021 will be a content update for PES 2020 rather than a brand new game, a listing on the Microsoft Store has revealed. There has been speculation for many months that Konami has decided not to release PES 2021 after a listing for a PES 2021 Content Update appeared on an Australian Classification board. While Konami is yet to officially announce their plans for this year’s game, the Microsoft listing appears to be proof that we won’t be seeing a brand new release this year.

4 Tips on How to Give Safely Online
We live in scary times — at least from the standpoint of cybersecurity. According to a recent report, 3,676 breaches were reported in the first nine months of 2018, resulting in the exposure of 3.6 billion records. And although this marks an 8 percent decline in "data compromise events" from 2017, bad actors are getting savvier by the minute, and new threats are emerging before old ones have been fully addressed.
SPLAT!: The Art of Ralph Steadman
Ralph Steadman still bets on a horse to win the Kentucky Derby every year. It’s a perennial ritual he’s kept since the first time he attended the seersuckered and fancy-hatted soiree with Hunter S. Thompson in 1970, who was on assignment with a little-known publication named Scanlan’s Monthly. Steadman was tasked with illustrating the piece, and it would be the first of many booze-drenched sojourns the pair would make around the world.

Helen moved to San Francisco from South Korea in 1977 and has been here ever since. Technically, “Helen’s Wigs” began as a kiosk in the old Woolworth’s downtown.

A caravan of water arrived at a city water distribution center in Flint around 2 p.m. on April 7. The water drive was organized by Divine Toiletries, a non-profit organization designed to help people in need.

Alleged Castro 'Drug Den' In Contract For $2.6M
Heroin, ketamine, crystal meth, cocaine, and thousands of dollars in cash. When police raided 517-519 Sanchez St. in 2012, they hit the drug bust equivalent of a jackpot. Now, after years of complaints from neighbors and tenants and several more police raids, the newly marketed “wonderful Victorian home” in an “amazing Dolores Heights location” went into escrow last week. If all goes to plan, the sale carries a $2.6 million price tag.
ORFN: A Life Under Shadows - By Stephen Jackson - July 19, 2017 - SF Weekly
It’s 1993, and 19-year-old Aaron Curry is trapped on an overpass towering above a crime-ridden Hayes Valley, long before the Central Freeway came down and it became the uber-chic hamlet it is today. Curry, better known as Bay Area graffiti writer ORFN, had been spotted mid-tag on the two-story-high roadway, and cops are approaching him in both directions. He thinks fast and jumps — not to his death, but to a nearby wooden telephone pole.
