As the Biden administration continues to use pandemic restrictions via the Title 42 policy to block migrants at the southern border, Mexicans at those crossings are turned away more than any other nationality, making up more than 60% of all expulsions. But for those who can afford the roughly $350 one-way plane ticket from Mexico to Montreal or Toronto, their prospects of not being sent back under Title 42 are much better.

Unfortunately, the man ended up passing away from his cancer, but prior to his passing, he talked with an Irish accent only after the cancer began to spread. Doctors labeled it as a case of foreign accent syndrome, or FAS. The man’s random accent was described as “an uncontrollable ‘Irish brogue’ accent despite no Irish background.” And while there have been extremely rare reports of FAS in stroke patients and those with traumatic brain injuries, this is the first documented case for a prostate cancer patient. So why do doctors think the man developed FAS?

The ride-sharing giant's quarterly revenue of $8.6 billion was 49% higher year-over-year and surpassed Wall Street's projections. More people using it led to greater expansion. The company announced that quarterly trips totaled 2.1 billion, an all-time quarterly high and equivalent to about 23 million trips per day on average. Executive Chairman Dara Khosrowshahi hailed the results as the company's "strongest quarter ever" in a statement released alongside the numbers. On Wednesday morning, before the market opened, Uber shares jumped as much as 8% on the news.

Rezolla (AEI) & M. Koppitz (AEI & Zuse-Institut Berlin) According to a recent study, gravitational waves—space-time ripples—might be able to shed light on the mysteries of the early universe soon after the Big Bang. And physicists claim that by utilizing nuclear fusion reactors on Earth, they can discover more about these primordial gravitational waves. In a recent study, scientists developed a theoretical model for the interaction of gravitational waves and matter using equations that govern how electromagnetic waves propagate through plasma within fusion reactors. That might then paint a clearer picture of the earliest periods of time. Moments after the Big Bang, a soup of hot, ultradense primordial plasma filled the whole universe, causing solid gravitational waves to ripple out into space. These ancient gravitational waves would have propagated throughout the universe. They should still be present today, so the mutual influence that matter and gravitational waves had on each other in the universe's infancy would leave observable traces in both. [Working backward from those observable traces could reveal a better picture of that early period.](   More Science Updates dust as Earth's sun shield]( [This dwarf planet has a ring instead of a moon]( [Carnivores' attacks on humans are becoming more common.
