SAN FRANCISCO (TND) — As San Francisco mulls giving qualifying Black citizens millions of dollars in reparations, one city supervisor wants to establish an official city reparations office, and is asking for $50 million to do so. San Francisco Supervisor Shamann Walton proposed at a Tuesday Board of Supervisors meeting that the city set aside the large sum of cash so that an "Office of Reparations" can be established to vet the eligibility of prospective reparations recipients.

Space hardware tumbling out of orbit may lead to unforeseen environmental and climate impacts. Due to the growing scale and pace of launch activities, what is needed is better monitoring of the situation, as well as regulation to create an environmentally sustainable space industry. Making that case is Jamie Shutler, associate professor of Earth observation at the University of Exeter, Cornwall. Shutler and colleagues authored the research paper “Atmospheric impacts of the space industry require oversight” in the August issue of the journal Nature Geoscience.

Inflation has affected the prices of goods, services and the general cost of living. So it's no surprise that airline ticket prices have also increased. However, airfares have risen much faster than overall inflation, with an annual increase of 42.9%, the highest on record. So if you plan to spend a significant amount on air travel in the near future, you want to be sure you're buying tickets from a quality airline. To help you figure out which airlines to fly with for your next vacation, AirHelp — the world's largest organization for air passenger rights — has published its annual ratings for global airlines and airports.

Within the first 30 minutes of the pilot episode of “Euphoria,” a young woman’s bare breasts enter the frame. Then, just six minutes into the second episode, 30 penises flop across the screen in a locker room scene gender-swapped with the one from “Carrie.” But, despite what viewers may think, Sam Levinson, the showrunner of the “raw and honest” HBO show about a group of high school students grappling with sex, drugs and violence, didn’t want the nudity to feel gratuitous.

Nearly a year after Russian troops invaded Ukraine, the ongoing war has accelerated a European shift away from Russia’s fuel supplies, invigorated nuclear power in the region, isolated Russian President Vladimir Putin on the global stage and anchored a booming export business for U.S. gas companies. The war has also generated massive profits for oil companies while raising fuel and living costs worldwide, which ironically could help speed efforts to address climate change, particularly in developing nations.
