Caeli Energie has invented responsible “aircon” - Grenoble INP - UGA
A nice bit of innovation using thermodynamics to cool the air. Yeah maybe it's not quite what we think of as "ice cold a/c" but applying thermodynamic principles to cool the air efficiently, cheaply, and at a lower cost to the environment is a huge leap forward.

And a review
Michelle Obama's Girls Opportunity Alliance rallying $2.5M for grassroots education
This news item caught my attention. Michelle Obama was engaged and involved in the idea of betterment throughout her 8 years as the First Lady. Eat healthier, and think sustainably. Promote education.
And sadly, she was mostly panned for doing so by the GOP (mostly for racist reasons).
And even after she left the White House, she continues to do much the same thing. She's doing it because she wants to, and because she believes in the core message.
And I have to ask what the current presidents wife is doing, did during his first term, during the 4 years in between, or really at any point in her life.
I have no idea if she actually stands for anything at all, mostly because we never hear anything from her. Surely it's partly her, but there is also a misogynist husband, who presumably wants her to be subservient and quiet.
The difference between these two women could not be more clear.
From potato to chip: The next chapter of Lay’s
Lay's is making a big to-do about making some changes to their products, and more specially the packaging.
On the one hand they note that
42% of people who enjoy Lay's don't realize they're made with real, farm-grown potatoes.
Which would suggest that people are stupid. So they are hilighting the potato on their packaging. Which, if you look at any packaging they've used in the last 30 years always has shown potatoes on them… so I'm not sure how that helps.
And on the other hand, it's clear that they are dancing around the fringes of the dunderhead in health and human services wants in his quest to reduce food dyes and additives. They don't mention this specifically, but they do want to be more transparent. So sure, sure.
It's just weird that they made such a big splash and the media ate it up. (See what I did there?)
Crypto world, buckle up for the rug-pull of all time
I am aware that this article is opinion and not necessarily news, but the underlying point is solid: crypto being "decentralized" doesn't mean it can't be manipulated in some ways. A few bad actors could theoretically move wealth from the many to the few.
