Would you move sunrise to 9 a.m. in Detroit? Or to 4:11 a.m. in Seattle...
Though both options have problems, "There's no law we can pass to move the sun to our will," argues the president of the nonprofit "Save Standard Time". The Associated Press explains why America remains stuck in that annual ritual making clocks "spring forward, fall backward..."

The U.S. has tinkered with the clock intermittently since railroads standardized the time zones in 1883. So has a lot of the world. About 140 countries hav

People who were always the strong one in the family often become the loneliest person in the room after 65. Every link must be real and accurate

There is a particular person in almost every family. You know the one. They’re the first phone call when something goes wrong. They hold it together at the funeral when everyone else falls apart. They give advice without needing any in return. They fix things, arrange things, absorb things. They never seem to crack. For ... Read more Read more

Золото для небесного дракона: как в Китае перезапускают старые месторождения, а на Западе из этого раздувают сенсации

В конце февраля 2026 года в сети появилась новость о том, что в Китае наткнулись на крупнейшее золотое месторождение в мире — Вангу в провинции Хунань. Новость разошлась по соцсетям как свежая сенсация. Но в реальности сообщение об этом китайская сторона опубликовала еще в ноябре 2024-го. Так найденное больше года назад геологическое открытие лёгким движением руки журналистов превратилось в глобальный инфоповод второй раз — уже на волне рекордных цен на... Read more

People who were always told they were mature for their age weren’t complimented. They were recruited. And the difference between those two things explains most of their adult exhaustion.

Дикий мир литературы в 2026 году

«Сегодня никто не читает» — ту или иную вариацию подобного сентимента, думаю, слышали многие. В отношении себя, друзей, населения той или иной страны, даже целых поколений. С таким типом высказываний, чрезвычайно категоричных и генерализированных, всё же, тяжело спорить. Любая статистика говорит, что, действительно — люди читают меньше, имеют меньший словарный запас, чем предыдущие поколения, и в целом навык красивой, грамотной речи кажется утраченным.Но прямо сейчас мы наблюдаем необычную ситуацию на...
