This year's MacArthur Fellows include researchers who fuse science and justice - NPR

Kate Spradley and Felipe De Brigard are two of this year's MacArthur Fellows, each working at the interface of science and justice. It should have been a fairly routine exhumation of a man's body from a local cemetery in Brooks County in southern Texas: ask the funeral home to point out the right plot on a map, and then dig up the remains with shovels and trowels.

Canada led a 2022 deal to protect the world's nature. Has there been progress since then? - CBC

During a snowy Montreal winter in 2022, Canada welcomed over 180 UN member countries to negotiate an ambitious new agreement to protect nature. The world’s biodiversity was in an unprecedented crisis — with more than one million species facing the threat of extinction, leaders were finally waking up to how close ecosystems were to collapsing. Steven Guilbeault, then-minister of environment, helped wrangle a consensus and establish a new goal of protecting 30 per cent of global land and oceans by 2030, meant to halt the mass extinction. These spaces would be protected for the long-term goal of conservation, with human activities like fishing and mining banned or heavily restricted. The agreement also included a promise to help lower-income countries with funding: money to establish and manage these protected spaces. “That was the compromise in Montreal,” said Guilbeault, while on his way back from Climate Week NYC, held alongside the UN General Assembly to bring together climate advocates and policymakers.

‘Richly rewarding’: why Netflix’s A Different World is the only TV reboot worth watching this year - The Guardian

It’s often the case that nothing disappoints like a sitcom reboot. The Malcolm in the Middle revival is missing Dewey. The updated Saved By the Bell felt like detention punishment. And Just Like That … had Sex and the City diehards sharpening their stilettos. When Netflix announced plans to reboot A Different World two years ago, fans of the Cosby Show spinoff mostly saw reasons not to. Too much time had passed since the show’s 1992 sign-off. Too much cultural currency had been invested in the show and in Hillman College – the series backdrop that was like Wakanda before Wakanda, a grand bastion of fictional yet somehow tangible Black excellence that drove attendance at historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and a crowd-sourced CRT education boom online. And too much cynicism had set in among American TV viewers to bother replicating the show’s classic multi-cam setup – too dusty and fusty, they might sneer. Despite all this, the born-again A Different World landed on the streamer this week, and I am relieved – and, really, quite stunned to report that we finally have a sitcom reboot that actually meets the brief.

Rethinking Medicare home health - Brookings

Home health care is an important component of the Medicare system, yet Medicare home health lacks a clear, agreed-upon objective. The program appears to try to serve multiple purposes—substituting for institutional post-acute care, covering the costs of treatment and recovery from acute health events for home-bound patients, and providing in-kind, long-term services and supports (LTSS) to frail older adults. Current program design reflects an unresolved compromise among these objectives.

NHL winks at hockey romance subculture with ‘Hot for Hockey’ campaign - Sports Business Journal

09.29.2026The NHL's new CMO, Sean Eggert, is leaning into the popularity of hockey-themed romance novels to promote the league. NHL The mainstream success of on-screen adaptations of hockey-themed romance novels “Heated Rivalry” and “Off Campus” over the past year has introduced an entirely new -- and largely female -- audience to the sport. After a few NHL teams leaned into the trend last season through merchandise and content plays, the league has launched a marketing effort for 2026-27 called “Hot for Hockey” that specifically targets the same demographic. Led by new CMO Sean Eggert, who joined from Under Armour in May, the NHL is rolling out a series of short stories on audiobook platforms throughout the season that present real-life NHL storylines in the style of romance novels. The league has contracted popular hockey romance authors to write and narrate the 60-to-90-second pieces, which will direct listeners to tune in to upcoming games to see how the stories play out on the ice. It will also tap influential “BookTok” creators to spread the word.

Star Entertainment Security for Costs: Victoria Court Rejects Bid Against Slater and Gordon - Wansom AI

SummaryThe Supreme Court of Victoria rejected Star Entertainment's application for $6.5 million in security for costs against Slater and Gordon. The court found no real or material risk that Slater and Gordon would be unable to pay adverse costs, despite operating under a group costs order. Star's expert evidence was criticized for failing to account for a significant settlement payment to Slater and Gordon and for making unsubstantiated assumptions. Slater and Gordon's strong financial position, including $341 million in net assets and $29.1 million cash at bank, weighed against the security order. The court indicated that future contested security for costs applications should be resolved within half a day, emphasizing efficiency. Court Rejects Star Entertainment's Security BidThe court expressed a lack of confidence that those instructing the expert had kept her independence 'front of mind,' noting the rapid production of her third report. The Supreme Court of Victoria has dismissed an application by casino operator Star Entertainment, which sought to compel law firm Slater and Gordon to provide $6.5 million in security for costs.

Australian comedian Josh Thomas is touring with a brand new stand-up show - The Montrealer

After premiering the show at the Melbourne Comedy Festival and touring across Australia’s biggest comedy festivals—including Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth—Josh is taking Jiggle, Jiggle on the road for international audiences. Josh started doing stand-up comedy 20 years ago and quickly became a mainstay of the Australian comedy scene. Since then, he has lost three celebrity cooking shows, failed at Celebrity Splash and Taskmaster, and cured Bob Katter’s homophobia, among many other achievements. His critically acclaimed TV shows, Please Like Me and Everything’s Gonna Be Okay, were international sensations. They dealt with lots of important “issues” but this year he just wants to be silly.
