Best Theme Bars Near You
Where I live in the Midwest, there aren't a lot of cool theme bars. We have a cat cafe, a fortune telling bar, some games and arcade-based bars and plenty of food-based themed bars, but we don't have, say, a horror-themed bar based on the works of HP Lovecraft. That's what the Coffin Club, formerly known as The Lovecraft, in Portland is.
Cats Want a Free Lunch
Any Garfield fan knows he doesn't have much pride OR shame, but can we really shame a proud cat for wanting a free lunch? Who wouldn't want one, especially if it's available and might help you care for yourself in other ways? Philosophy aside, a new study does confirm that cats would rather be given a free meal than work for food, something that dogs prefer.
August-Themed Poems
August is here in full swing, complete with heat, summer lightning, and fresh peaches. Poems that celebrate August and late summer in general are aplenty, but which ones really encompass that lazy, late summer feeling?
Megyn Kelly Responds to Seth MacFarlane
After Seth MacFarlane said he regrets signing up with Fox to run Family Guy, which earned him hundreds of millions of dollars over the years, Megyn Kelly, a former news host at Fox, said that she had "no tolerance for that," and that MacFarlane had made gazillions off Fox. She then went on to say that you can't wait until a company makes you rich before badmouthing them.
Ghana's Anti-LGBTQ Legislation
As the United States sees an overwhelming number of anti-LGBTQIA bills up for debate in 2021, they are sadly not alone. Countries all over the world are fighting for human rights, some with much less success than others. Ghana is no exception. LGBTQIA activists have been attacked in the nation for attempting to protect human rights and now the nation is trying to pass a heavily anti-queer piece of legislation.
Best Baguette
For anyone craving a banh mi and some yummy Vietnamese coffee, Best Baguette is one of the best places in Portland to get it. Best Baguette is known for their affordable Vietnamese and French sandwiches alongside bubble tea, sweet pastries, and yes, even tacos!
Classical Versions of The Grateful Dead
Have you ever heard your favorite Grateful Dead song played on a cello--or a violin? Classical music covers of rock songs aren't new but they are becoming increasingly popular, especially with bands like 2 Cellos touring.
Humanely Getting Rid of Frogs
As a frog lover, I can't get enough frogs (or toads, or skinks...) in my yard. I love these little visitors and only want to keep them safe from my dogs! That's why I provide shelter for them away from my dogs in parts of my yard they don't play in. That said, it's very understandable that people would want frogs gone if they are making enough noise to keep them up at night, or if they populate pools with their spawn.
Suicide Squad's Weasel
Those who've seen James Gunn's The Suicide Squad (which is highly superior to the previous, unrelated Suicide Squad film in every way) have met the character Weasel, who was hilariously portrayed by Gunn's own brother, Sean. Weasel has a twist to his story, as do most of the characters in the film, thanks to Gunn's signature moves, which we won't reveal, but we can take a look at his character, who is one of the weirdest animals in all film.
Spicy Peach Jelly
After going peach picking, my family and I decided to grab some lunch at the orchard the other day and were delighted to discover peaches all over the menu. Why wouldn't they be, of course! I had a burger with chipotle peach jam on it and WOW. It was the best burger because of that. Now I want to make my own peach jam at home.
Nuclear Fusion 144 - Runaway Electrons Destabilize Fusion Reactors
One of the major challenges for researchers working on the development of fusion power is preventing what are called runaway electron which are particles that are generated during fusion. They can disrupt fusion experiments by boring holes in the walls of tokamaks. Scientists led by researchers at the U.S.
