The singer’s comment in the feature caused confusion among the public and many questioned whether or not she was part of the LGBTQ+ community, but her recent interview at Variety‘s Hitmakers event put the speculation to rest.

VC investment in the agtech space has been booming these past few years, and many farmers also receive some type of subsidized funding, whether from the government or nonprofit organizations. These opportunities do not appear to be trickling down to…

Societies and political structures, like the humans they serve, appear to become more fragile as they age, according to an analysis of hundreds of pre-modern societies. A new study, which holds implications for the modern world, provides the first quantitative support for the theory that the resilience of political states decreases over time. Triggers of societal collapse have been well studied and vary from conquest and coups to earthquakes and droughts. This new study shows that pre-modern states faced a steeply increasing risk of collapse within the first two centuries after they formed. The research identifies several mechanisms that could…

The outlet also reported that police asked the Creed star,…

GM may have mortgaged its future last week. On Wednesday, the automaker announced that it would boost its dividend and buy back $10 billion worth of its shares, effectively erasing this year’s net income and then some. The move pleased shareholders, with GM’s stock trading about 10% higher than before the financial engineering moves were announced. But shareholders’ delight may be fleeting. Profits from sales of fossil fuel vehicles are supposed to bankroll the transition to electric vehicles, GM president Mark Reuss said last year. That doesn’t appear to be the case anymore, in part because the company is desperate…
