▼ + stars: | 2024-09-13 | by ( Chris Lau | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +11 min

The winning formulaMore than 30 jurisdictions worldwide now recognize same-sex marriage, according to the Pew Research Center. Since the first same-sex marriage law was passed in the Netherlands in 2001, progress has been made mostly in Europe, the Americas and Australasia. Gay couples cut a wedding cake in Amsterdam on April 1, 2001 after the first same-sex marriage law was passed in the Netherlands. But on the national level, Japan does not recognize same-sex marriage and local courts have returned conflicting verdicts on the issue. Up to 68% of Japan’s adults support same-sex marriage, the highest share in Asia, according to the Pew Research Center.

The more time adolescents spend on screens and social media, the greater the likelihood that they will be bullied about their weight, according to the study. An X spokesperson said the social media platform’s policies had evolved since the data was first collected. “Weight stigma and bias are common on social media,” Ganson said in an email. “Social media use is ubiquitous among adolescents,” he added. Then, you can come up with solutions together on how to handle social media moving forward, Hanson said.

☆ Invasive species cost the world $423 billion every year and are causing environmental chaos, UN report finds

Scroll through the gallery to see more of the planet's most problematic invasive species. Sarefo / Wikimedia Commons In pictures: Invasive species around the world Prev Next‘Prevention, prevention, prevention’Along with invasive species, other key drivers of biodiversity loss include destruction of land and sea habitats, exploitation of organisms, climate change and pollution. As well as flammable invasive plants sparking and spreading wildfires, climate change is enabling invasive species to move north – even to remote areas such as high mountains, deserts and frozen tundra. Preventing the arrival of new species into new regions is the best way to manage threats from invasive species, according to the report. For invasive species that have already taken hold, eradication has been a useful tool, especially on islands, according to the report.

☆ Skull reshaping was practiced for centuries in ancient Japan by men and women
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-18 | by ( Mindy Weisberger | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +5 min

CNN —Modified skulls found in an ancient burial site in Japan were deliberately reshaped in both men and women as an expression of collective identity. It’s possible, the researchers suggested, that the Hirota cranial reshaping played a part in their trading success. For the new study, the scientists 3D-scanned and digitally modeled 19 adult Hirota skulls to conduct more detailed morphological analysis. Certain indentations were also identified in Hirota skulls but were absent in those of Jomon and Doigahama individuals. At the Hirota site, each marker indicates where burials were found along with the notes on their sex and approximate age group.

☆ Opinion | Do Not Panic. It’s Just a Moral Panic.

Not to freak you out, but you may be in the middle of a moral panic. A moral panic is the pervasive belief that some great wickedness is threatening society and must be stopped. According to the panic police, if you are worried about children and social media, you are succumbing to moral panic. If you’re troubled about your employees ruining the corporate brand on TikTok, that’s right: moral panic. Trepidations about artificial intelligence, crime, teenage Juul use, policing, gender ideology, privacy, self-driving cars, feminism, A.D.H.D., racism — moral panics, all.

☆ My mom has 7 rules to be happy and successful as you age: No. 1 is, 'Your 20s are mostly practice'
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-30 | by ( Cameron Albert-Deitch | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Take it from my mom, who created these rules 25 years ago and says they've been useful ever since. How the rules of aging workMy mom, Corey-Jan Albert, is a "professional creative" in the Atlanta area: part marketing writer and strategist, part playwriting teacher and singer-songwriter. "Practice" means you're able to try new things as an adult for the first time, and see how they go. Maybe you've figured out what you want in life at age 28, or at age 34. When my mom shares these rules, she tends to get different reactions based on her audience's age, she says.
