Is Dua Lipa the most political popstar we have right now?

Robin Deselow, author of When the Music's Over: The Story of Political Pop, says that while smaller artists are vocal about important causes more often, most big stars tend to avoid politics, far more than they used to. “In the 1980s, which was the most political era for popstars, you knew who your audience were and they were going to agree with you” he says.

A Wild Orangutan Used a Medicinal Plant to Treat a Wound

(WASHINGTON) — An orangutan appeared to treat a wound with medicine from a tropical plant— the latest example of how some animals attempt to soothe their own ills with remedies found in the wild, scientists reported Thursday.Scientists observed Rakus pluck and chew up leaves of a medicinal plant used by people throughout Southeast Asia to treat pain and inflammation. The adult male orangutan then used his fingers to apply the plant juices to an injury on the right cheek. Afterward, he pressed the chewed plant to cover the open wound like a makeshift bandage, according to a new study in Scientific Reports.Previous research has documented several species of great apes foraging for medicines in forests to heal themselves, but scientists hadn't yet seen an animal treat itself in this way.“This...

Texas Veterinarian Helped Crack the Mystery of Bird Flu in Cows

The first calls that Dr. Barb Petersen received in early March were from dairy owners worried about crows, pigeons and other birds dying on their Texas farms. Then came word that barn cats — half of them on one farm — had died suddenly.Within days, the Amarillo veterinarian was hearing about sick cows with unusual symptoms: high fevers, reluctance to eat and much less milk. Tests for typical illnesses came back negative.Petersen, who monitors more than 40,000 cattle on a dozen farms in the Texas Panhandle, collected samples from cats and cows and sent them to Dr. Drew Magstadt, a friend from college who now works at the veterinary diagnostic laboratory at Iowa State University.The samples tested positive for a bird flu virus never before seen in cattle. It was the first proof that the bird...

Arizona Democrats Get Enough Votes to Repeal 19th Century Abortion Ban

(PHOENIX) — Democrats secured enough votes in the Arizona Senate on Wednesday to repeal a Civil War-era ban on abortions that the state’s highest court recently allowed to take effect.Voting wasn’t complete but the Senate had the 16 votes it needed to advance the bill.Fourteen Democrats in the Senate were joined by two Republican votes in favor of repealing the bill, which narrowly cleared the Arizona House last week and is expected to be signed by Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs.The near-total ban, which predates Arizona’s statehood, permits abortions only to save the patient's life — and provides no exceptions for survivors of rape or incest. In a ruling last month, the Arizona Supreme Court suggested doctors could be prosecuted under the 1864 law, which says that anyone who assists in an ab...

Inside this week’s ES Magazine: Harmony Korine

As I was leaving for work, a taxi pulled up and out climbed a well-known model in giant sunglasses. ‘Hello! What are you doing here?’ I asked, nonchalantly. (Don’t worry we know each other.) ‘Oh, I’m here to see my therapist,’ she shrugged. The sound of the penny dropping inside my head must have rung out across the whole postcode. Source link
