The Surprising Reality of Political Violence in America
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=68069&nl=daily]
Instances of extremist violence have actually declined in recent years
by some key measures. Although some Americans continue to say they
approve of political violence, support for the most serious types of
violence has not increased amid election-related tensions this year.

Is it really cheaper to cultivate your own fruit and vegetables? - New
Scientist (No paywall) [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=68069&nl=daily]
It is an article that seems to come around every year: the promise
that the average family can save money by growing their own fruit and
vegetables. Whether they echo “dig for victory” wartime nostalgia
or romantic pioneer spirit, the writers never really reference how
they arrived at the stats they use. So can your average home gardener
really compete on price against the economies of scale of industrial
agriculture? Let’s crunch the numbers.

The History of the Kaffiyeh
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=68069&nl=daily]
Once used for sun protection from the blistering sun in Southwest Asia
and North Africa, the kaffiyeh's function, and symbolism, has
undeniably transformed over time. It’s been spotted on high-fashion
Palestinian supermodel Bella Hadid, on the necks of students at
college encampments, and covering the faces of activists at
pro-Palestinian marches. It’s been sold on the shelves of Urban
Outfitters and Louis Vuitton, and subject to bans by the Australian
state of Victoria, which barred legislators from wearing the scarf in
parliament because of its “political” nature.

A new era of warfare is here. And it's terrifying.
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=68069&nl=daily]
For years, Hezbollah leaders urged their rank-and-file to reduce
reliance on smartphones, arguing that Israel was able to bug those
devices to infiltrate their communication network. The alternative was
to go back to the 1990s-era technology of pagers and walkie-talkies,
seen as a safer option.

Fable at 20: a uniquely British video game with a complex legacy
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=68069&nl=daily]
In 1985, brothers Dene and Simon Carter vowed to each other that they
would one day start their own development studio together. The game
they imagined was ambitious, as Simon outlined in a developer diary: a
fantasy role-playing game, “populated with compelling and convincing
characters with real personality, people who actually reacted to what
you did … We wanted each and every person who played our game to
have a unique experience, to have their own stories to tell.” The
idea of a living, reactive game world was an obsession for many game
creators (and players) at the time, largely because it had never yet
been done. In the 1980s, a virtual fantasy world like this was far
beyond the realms of technological possibility.

The FCC wants all phones unlocked in sixty days, AT&T and T-Mobile
aren't so keen on the plan
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=68069&nl=daily]
Back in June, the FCC proposed a significant rule change that would
require carriers to unlock all phones within 60 days of activation. At
the time, the FCC was seeking public comment on the proposal, with
plans to vote on whether to pursue the issue in early July. Since
then, the proposal has been unanimously approved by the five-member
commission, and the plan marches forward. To be clear, this doesn’t
mean a new unlock policy is happening anytime soon; it just means that
the FCC will continue to actively pursue these regulatory changes.
Unsurprisingly, AT&T and T-Mobile have both spoken up against the
change.

Omega-3 fatty acid intake counteracts symptoms of stress-induced
anxiety and depression in mice
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=68069&nl=daily]
A study on mice found that adding omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids
to their diets effectively counteracts depressive and anxiety-like
behaviors induced by stress. Not only did the supplementation reduce
these stress-induced symptoms, but it also lowered anxiety levels in
mice that were not exposed to stress. These findings, published in
Neurobiology of Stress, suggest that omega-3 fatty acids may have
protective mental health benefits.

The Collapse of Self-Worth in the Digital Age | The Walrus
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=68069&nl=daily]
When I was twelve, I used to roller-skate in circles for hours. I was
at another new school, the odd man out, bullied by my desk mate. My
problems were too complex and modern to explain. So I skated across
parking lots, breezeways, and sidewalks, I listened to the vibration
of my wheels on brick, I learned the names of flowers, I put deserted
paths to use. I decided for myself each curve I took, and by the time
I rolled home, I felt lighter. One Saturday, a friend invited me to
roller-skate in the park. I can still picture her in green protective
knee pads, flying past. I couldn’t catch up, I had no technique.
There existed another scale to evaluate roller skating, beyond joy,
and as Rollerbladers and cyclists overtook me, it eclipsed my own.
Soon after, I stopped skating.

How Trump Could Upend Taxation in America

His ideas — if they all became law, far from a sure thing in
Washington — would in effect move the United States closer to a
taxation system used in many other countries. Most advanced economies,
including Canada, Germany and Japan, collect value-added taxes,
essentially a national sales taxes on goods and services. The United
States is unique for not having such a tax. Many economists generally
support so-called consumption taxes, which they view as an efficient
and hard-to-evade way of collecting money for the government.
