Study: Sex Education in the U.S. Is a Complete Joke

gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2025-11-03 21:40:16

New research appears to confirm what’s apparent to most anyone who’s taken sex ed in school: it’s largely terrible. Scientists at Boston University led the study, which examined state laws and regulations governing sexual education in public schools. They found that a majority of states mandate schools to teach flawed and ineffective abstinence-based programs, while only some truly require schools to provide medically accurate information. The findings suggest that kids, by and large, aren’t ge

Kanye’s Crypto Journey Gets Significantly Weirder

Kanye West (or Ye, as he’s known now) last week announced his first foray into the cryptocurrency industry with what his X account said was a new memecoin, YZY. “The official Yeezy token just dropped,” said a bored-looking West in a video posted on his X account. This, in and of itself, was somewhat bizarre (West had previously sworn off memecoins) and some web users speculated that the video may have been AI-generated. The coin immediately skyrocketed in value, climbing—in the span of a few ho

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-04 00:32:59

EchoStar has agreed to sell $23 billion worth of spectrum licenses to AT&T in a deal spurred by threats made by the Federal Communications Commission to revoke EchoStar's rights to use the spectrum. AT&T said it will use the spectrum to boost its 5G mobile network and expand its fixed wireless home Internet service. The AT&T/EchoStar deal, which is expected to be completed in mid-2026, could mark the beginning of EchoStar's spectrum portfolio being carved up and sold to other carriers. Starlink
