NEW: HaloBraid just raised $7M to end the 6-hour braiding appointment.

HaloBraid is a robotic braid-assist device built to help stylists finish box and knotless braids way faster.

• Led by @alexisohanian Seven Seven Six
• Finishes each braid up to 5x faster than a stylist
• Designed to cut full appointments roughly in half
• Built through 600+ prototypes
• 6,000 stylists already signed up
• Launching in salons later this year

Robotics is starting to show up in places most people never expected.

The tinier discarded plastic gets, the bigger a problem it becomes.

Microplastics last hundreds to thousands of years and degrade the natural environment.

@newlight is using microorganisms to produce a biodegradable, planet-friendly replacement for plastic.

We're now 2 yrs into the decisive decade. Emissions should be in an unprecedented fall, instead we're seeing the 2nd biggest rise ever recorded. We're wasting invaluable time pretending we can solve this crisis without treating it like a crisis. World leaders are still in denial.

This is fundamental to ensuring #ClimateJustice. #RecogniseClimateRefugees https://t.co/FEFoeb1yXf

People with a seafood allergy should avoid eating cicadas, which are related to crustaceans and contain similar proteins, the FDA warned.

The advice comes as billions of the insects emerge across the Eastern U.S.

130 years ago, a crusader Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar was born, he battled against a caste-divided society and freed millions from the shackles of indignity and untouchability. He directed the citizens towards an egalitarian society. Lets celebrate his life #Jaibhim!

So Twitter being the mess it is right now with #GretaThunbergExposed and #IndiaAgainstPropaganda, and the India activists going dark, i guess the 15 year old in the U.S. has to explain the #FarmersProtest to y'all, so let me do that.
basically, first 3 farm bills were passed. 1/6

Wearing a mask shows you respect the people around you.
Wearing a mask shows your gratitude for frontline workers.
Wearing a mask shows you care about defeating this virus.

Let’s all do our part—wear a mask.

Mumbai's busy, busy seashores right now are home to squid egg masses. Look closely at the translucent balloon like bunches in the first photo, and you'll see the tiny individual eggs in them, each the size of a sabudana. 1/3
