Brooklyn’s Gowanus Canal: Contamination Beauty
The Gowanus Canal, in Brooklyn, N.Y., was once a major transportation route for the then separate cities of Brooklyn and New York City. But as a result of years of dumping from the industrial plants that align the canal, it has become one of the nation's most extensively contaminated water bodies.
"I was born and raised in Brooklyn but never set eyes upon the Gowanus Canal until last year, " said photographer Steven Hirsch, whose latest project is the Gowanus Canal. "It was shocking and sad t...

The problem is work
Erica, an Indiana mom, was working part time last spring as a computer scientist. At the same time, she was taking care of her first-grader, preschooler, and toddler at home, with schools and day care centers in the area shuttered due to the pandemic.
During one of her work shifts, she was nursing her toddler while trying to read at her desk, “and he swung his leg, and it somehow landed in my tea, and it kicked the teacup over,” she told sociologist Jessica Calarco and her team as part of a s...
Could Zillow buy the neighborhood?
Anything can be done online. Some tech companies, like Zillow and Redfin, think they can even buy and sell houses online, and are dreaming of becoming the Amazon of what has come to be known as ‘‘iBuying.” But they’re finding out that buying and selling assets worth hundreds of thousands of dollars is a bit harder as an online industry than buying and selling books.
Last week, Zillow made a startling announcement that it would stop buying homes for the rest of the year, self-reportedly due to...
What teen investors learned from the GameStop frenzy
Sophia Coffey, a 19-year-old student at Arizona State University, scooped up 185 shares of AMC Entertainment over the course of the Covid-19 pandemic. For about $2 to $7 per share, she was betting that the movie theater chain would financially recover after the pandemic. To her surprise, the investment paid off before Covid-19 restrictions were lifted: The GameStop stock frenzy catapulted the value of $AMC to $20 per share by late January, as amateur investors organized to artificially increa...
Jordan’s royal family feud and alleged coup plot, explained

What exactly happened remains unclear, but the evident turmoil inside one of America’s staunchest Middle Eastern allies — seen in Washington as a linchpin against terrorists and for desired peace between Israelis and Palestinians — made the US ...
Venmo’s new fees are frustrating people with side hustles
Venmo is changing the way its fees work. The new model won’t affect everyone, but if you’ve been using your personal Venmo account for your side hustle, it’s about to get more expensive.
The company recently told its users they’ll soon be able to add a “goods and services” tag to payments sent to other personal accounts (this would differentiate these payments from personal financial transactions, like reimbursing a friend for dinner). In other words, this lets a buyer flag a commercial trans...

Covid-19 safety tips to consider as you return to work
CNN —
As Covid-19 cases continue to fall and state and local governments lift remaining pandemic restrictions, many offices are asking employees to return to in-person work.
We know that 60% of workers with jobs that can be done from home say they’d like to work from home most or all of the time when the pandemic is over, if given the choice, according to a new Pew Research Center survey. That’s up from 54% in 2020.
