How to Create An Inclusive Work Culture (Really) Embracing an inclusive work culture isn’t just the responsibility of a company’s Human Resources department, or Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion team. It's an effort that every employee—particularly leaders—can take on through a commitment to learning (and unlearning), a push to reestablish workplace norms of “professionalism,” and using one’s privilege for good.

Nuclear fusion breakthrough confirmed: California team achieved ignition Nuclear fusion is the process that powers the Sun and other stars: heavy hydrogen atoms collide with enough force that they fuse together to form a helium atom, releasing large amounts of energy as a by-product. Once the hydrogen plasma "ignites", the fusion reaction becomes self-sustaining, with the fusions themselves producing enough power to maintain the temperature without external heating.

What Can a Long-Forgotten Moth Tell Us About Climate Change? There aren’t a lot of surprises in the work of digitizing the more than 10 million moths and butterflies at the Natural History Museum in London, England. The process is quite routine: you pick a drawer filled with 100 to 200 moths, remove one specimen very carefully with pliers, place it on a tray, take a picture of it and its label, and then return it to the same exact spot. Then you do it all again. Continued here

'Superbad' Remains an Essential Teen Film I don’t remember the first time I watched Superbad. Some movies you’ve seen so many times it feels like you came out of the womb knowing them. I’m sure it’s the same way for a lot of people my age. It was hard to think about a fake I.D. without immediately seeing the name “McLovin.” You might tell a story and have a friend reply, “That’s the coolest fucking story I ever heard.

Welcome to the 'Hotel California' saga: Missing lyric sheets, rare book dealers and a relentless Don Henley The writer and musician had earned a central place at the counterculture table in the 1960s, releasing influential work as a poet and publisher, as well as through his underground rock band the Fugs, but his book about the Manson murders, 1971’s “The Family,” brought him out of the underground and into the grisly mainstream. The increased attention led to offers for more deep-dive nonfiction work, and Sanders had narrowed the search for his next major project to be either an investigation of the 1978 Jonestown massacre or a band-commissioned biography of future Rock & Roll Hall of Famers the Eagles. He picked the latter. “I didn’t want to go down and smell those rotting bodies in the jungle,” he explained in a 1994 interview. “I did my spell in mass murders.” Continued here

Pushing Buttons: do games have to be a neverending story? Reading our games correspondent Keith Stuart’s feature about the joy of game compilations, it struck me that playing five games over a weekend has become almost unthinkable. My friends who grew up in the 1980s consumed as many games on tape as they could, but by the 90s we had slowed down. Games were more sophisticated, they had more to offer, and it would take the whole weekend (or sometimes the week) to get the most out of whatever cartridge you had borrowed from Blockbuster or spent months’ worth of pocket money to buy.

How To Calculate A Game's True Value From Its Price And Length As we all know, video games are judged on four criteria: The graphics, the gameplay familiarity, the price, and the length. But often times, the “video games media” conflates such objective judgements with corrupting elements of so-called artistic value and cultural impact. With games like the recently released, but woefully brief (well under 20 hours!) Cult Of The Lamb receiving inexplicably adulatory scores, something needs to be done. So forget all that. With this handy guide, we can help you never need to look at a review or Metascore again. Continued here

The Unbearable Heaviness of Being an 'Old Mom' As a parent, I do a lot of math in my head. I make constant calculations about how many ounces of milk is enough or too much, try and negotiate if my toddler is 23-37 pounds for the size-four diapers or 37 pounds or more for the size up. I weigh ages in months versus weight versus pounds to make sure my babies aren’t getting too much fever medicine but still getting better. And I negotiate drop off and pick up times at school and day care down to the second. But the number crunching I obsess over most, the unsolvable arithmetic that I’ve been doing since the day I got pregnant, has been about age. Continued here

How to Cope With End-of-Summer Blues I understand autumn anxiety and depression on a molecular level. I grew up in an East Coast tourist town, where the end of summer meant the boardwalk arcades closed and almost everyone drove away. We talked endless shit about the “shoobies”—our word for clueless summer visitors from Philly and North Jersey who could neither surf nor skate—but after Labor Day, when two-thirds of the houses in town lay empty and they turned off the traffic lights (who needs them when there was no traffic?), I actually missed those annoying tourists. Fall is when school starts and the ferris wheels stop. It’s when you can’t swim because the ocean is too cold and the lifeguards are gone. It’s when the fun ends and everything dies. Continued here

Customer Experience in the Age of AI Companies across all industries are putting personalization at the center of their enterprise strategies. For example, Home Depot, JPMorgan Chase, Starbucks, and Nike have publicly announced that personalized and seamless omnichannel experiences are at the core of their corporate strategy. We are now at the point where competitive advantage will be based on the ability to capture, analyze, and utilize personalized customer data at scale and on how a company uses AI to understand, shape, customize, and optimize the customer journey. The obvious winners have been large tech companies, which have embedded these capabilities in their business models.
