quote [ No, there’s absolutely no nostalgia for the web from the position of restaurant workers. I think nostalgia in this context is a privilege. For restaurants, social media is a blessing and a curse. While it reaches a much larger audience, restaurants also become dependent on it to convey their mood or spirit. ]

quote [ Rudy Giuliani, Donald Trump's personal attorney, attempted on Thursday to clean up comments he made the night before stating that Trump did not collude with Russian officials but suggesting that other campaign officials may have.
"I represent only President Trump not the Trump campaign. There was no collusion by President Trump in any way, shape or form," Giuliani said in a statement, adding, "Likewise, I have no knowledge of any collusion by any of the thousands of people who worked on the campaign.The only knowledge I have in this regard is the collusion of the Clinton campaign with Russia which has so far been ignored." ] He forgot the conspiracy, bribery, obstruction of justice, witness tampering, and campaign finance fraud.

quote [ A total lunar eclipse is soon to delight astronomy fanatics in the Americas, as the Moon slowly crosses the Earth’s shadow and turns red this coming Sunday. These eclipses are also referred to as blood moons, but the one on the night of the 20th has some added adjectives. It is, in fact, a super blood wolf moon. ]
I missed the last one of these because of fog - hopefully the weather will cooperate with us.

quote [ Tourists visiting Maria Island, the Tasmanian holiday destination and wombat stronghold, are being invited to take a pledge to keep a safe distance from the furry residents. "People are so enthralled with them, and they look so cute and cuddly, but people are getting too close. They pretty much ignore people, but people run up to them and they don't run away. People get very excited about wombats." ]

quote [ Analysis of surveys from US, France and Germany could also have implications for science communication in other fields ]
Even Wikipedia links to about a dozen metadata studies on the topic published in major journals or by governments. The science is clear. Like with climate change and evolution, the only real “debate” that exists in this field comes from those who refuse to accept the science for whatever reason.
Also - good science is not swayed by funding, which is a very common strawman that denialists love to throw out. I have a coworker that was part of MIT’s climate change department and they had funding from Exxon, Shell, and a number of other fossil energy companies. The director emeritus wrote one of the most damning chapters of the 2013 IPCC report.

quote [ A pair of Chinese firms are in the running to buy a massive shipyard in Subic Bay from South Korea’s Hanjin Group, local media reported Saturday.
The harbor, once known as Naval Base Subic Bay, was home to thousands of U.S. sailors and their families before the Navy left in 1992. It’s still a regular port call for U.S. warships and Marines who practice beach landings nearby in Zambales province. Subic’s importance has grown in recent years amid Chinese efforts to build military facilities on artificial islands and claim sovereignty over territory to the west in the South China Sea. ] Made many a trip to Subic in the 80's
