Technology can enable humanity to improve in all aspects. Families, Corporations, Society all need to manage it well.

Bison are leading one of the most remarkable ecological comebacks in North American history.

For more than a century, the great herds of the American bison were fragmented, broken into isolated groups by roads, fences, and human development across the Great Plains and Yellowstone region.

Now, in a powerful wildlife success story, those artificial barriers are being overcome. On their own, bison are instinctively reuniting and reopening ancient migration corridors that had been lost for over 100 years.

This isn’t just movement: it’s a profound return to ancestral memory. Large, unified herds are once again flowing across the landscape as they did in centuries past.

As they travel, these iconic animals act as masterful ecosystem engineers. Their powerful hooves aerate compacted soil, their selective grazing encourages the growth of diverse native plants, and their dust wallows create seasonal watering holes that benefit countless other species. In doing so, they spread nutrients and help restore the health of the grasslands.

By simply allowing bison to roam freely across their historic ranges, nature is showing us that wild ecosystems recover best when their original architects are given the freedom to lead.

@NextNineBSB @umichbaseball Ahh I thought that they had to get rid of everyone over 34.

@Geiger_Capital @Devon_Eriksen_ It is not gender or race. It is “are you contributing the funds that the government will distribute”. If you personally do not have financial skin in the game, you should not be able to vote. Voter registration should align to tax returns.

The bars in the Battery should have done this as well. Smart financial hedging like companies do with gas

ドジャースタジアム周辺で多くのバーを運営する企業が、ドジャースのワールドシリーズ敗退による売上減を補うため、予測市場カルシで「進出しない」に6万ドルを賭けた。結果は約2倍のリターンとなり、追加のプレーオフ試合で得られるはずだったバーの売上の損失を補填することができたという。賭けサイトについては否定的だけど、こんな救われ方もあるのだなと。

THIS IS ONE OF THE COOLEST STORIES IN SPORTS 🤯

Back in 2014, the Milwaukee Brewers offered fans the opportunity to purchase a $1,000 "Timeless Ticket" that could be redeemed for ANY future home game, including the WORLD SERIES.

The tickets NEVER expired.

Only 1,000 were offered, and each came as a personalized brass ticket that fans could keep forever.

Now, more than a DECADE later, the Brewers are headed to the World Series for the first time since 1982.

The Brewers are honoring those tickets, allowing fans to redeem them for World Series games this year.

Shoutout to the Brewers ❤️

This is what we should teach in history class!!

In 1817, New York decided to cut a river across 363 miles of swamp, forest, and rock. Hudson River to Lake Erie. Engineers said it was impossible. The U.S. had never built a canal over 28 miles. No engineers signed up. So farmers and Irish immigrants dug it. 50,000 men with shovels, wheelbarrows, and black powder. Pay was 80 cents a day plus whiskey.

They dug through Montezuma Swamp — malaria killed 1,000 men in one summer. They called it “digging their graves.” They blasted through limestone at Lockport with gunpowder. One bad fuse and you were gone. Boys carried powder kegs. 8-year-olds. They invented American engineering on the job. No cement existed, so they found natural rock in New York that hardened underwater. They invented it. Called it “Rosendale cement.” It built the Brooklyn Bridge later.

In 1825 they opened it. Governor Clinton poured Lake Erie water into the Hudson. They called it “Wedding of the Waters.” Freight cost dropped from $100 a ton to $10. New York City became New York City. 1,000 men died and are buried in unmarked ditches along Route 31. No monument. The canal paid for itself in 7 years.
