Mapped: Countries With The Highest Positive Emotions Interestingly, the countries that top the Global Emotions report for positive emotions differ from the happiest countries according to the World Happiness Report. The latter is dominated by Nordic countries like Finland and Denmark, and the differences come down to what is being measured.
While the World Happiness report measures people’s overall life satisfaction on a scale from 1-10, the Global Emotions report measures whether people had specific positive experiences the prior day.

WorkWe have a drug that might delay menopause -- and help us live longer
 Menopause is weird, biologically speaking. People, five species of whales, and maybe chimpanzees are the only animals that seem to live beyond their reproductive years. Menopause doesn’t have a lot of evolutionary value: beyond the hot flashes and night sweats, the loss of estrogen increases the risk of many of the chronic diseases we keep track of, including Alzheimer’s disease, osteoporosis, and stroke.

The soundtrack suggested a Beyoncé concert. The light-up bracelets evoked the Eras Tour. And the exuberant crowd—more than 14,000 strong, lining up in the rain—resembled the early days of Barack Obama.

Fans packed into overflow spaces, waving homemade signs made of glitter and glue as drumlines roared. When Harris introduced her new running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, the cheering lasted more than a minute.

WorkThe First Amendment is in grave danger if Trump wins
Dissidents were commonly thrown in prison, often for many years, when the government disagreed with their views. Near the end of World War I, the great union leader Eugene Debs was sentenced to 10 years in prison for giving a speech opposing the draft, and his conviction was upheld by a unanimous Supreme Court. In 1951, as Sen. Joseph McCarthy was ramping up his witch hunts against suspected communists, the Supreme Court blessed his and similar efforts by upholding the convictions of several individuals who did nothing more than try to organize a (wildly unsuccessful) Communist Party in the United States.

Hofstra University Law School Professor James Sample, who focuses on judicial ethics agrees, telling NPR, “It is absolutely reasonable to question his impartiality in a case where the party and interest is a principal in a company the judge owns stock in.” Sample also added that just the appearance that he might be biased is enough of a reason for O’Connor to recuse himself, saying, “Let another competent judge handle these cases without serious questions surrounding them.” WorkWorkWorkWorkNative American author Tommy Orange selected as the next Future Library writer
“I woke up the day after finding out about being asked to do this with a line in my head: I was born in the future,” said Orange. “The line itself doesn’t mean anything on its own but I thought: Could this be the beginning of what I write for this project? I think it’s a little scary writing for people who will most definitely deem us stupid and inferior in many ways just as when we look back a hundred years we can see clearly all the problems we had just being decent human beings.” WorkWorkUS to resume sales of offensive weapons to Saudi Arabia
