A brain injury removed my ability to perceive time. Here's what it's like in a world without it Unlike more concrete and specific brain functions with designated areas within the brain, like our sense of smell, sight or touch, the brain’s perception of time is abstract.A combination of external input (like seeing the streetlights outside our house flick on), internal sensory input (like feeling tired), and memory (like groaning when we remember we have an early work meeting ) might lead our brains to determine that it’s time to go to bed . . .

Ohio voters finally get a chance to overturn dangerous abortion ban From Mini Timmaraju: Polls show that 8 in 10 Americans believe in legal abortion, and we know that, given the chance, voters overwhelmingly vote to protect their freedoms at the ballot box. But that hasn’t changed what we’re up against. In state after state, voters must overcome dirty tricks and dishonest politicians who simply cheat when confronted with the reality that the public doesn’t support their dangerous anti-abortion agenda. There is perhaps no better example than Ohio, where Republican Frank LaRose, the current secretary of state also running for U.S. Senate, has made it clear he will do whatever it takes to support his own political ambitions—no matter the cost.

Fast food isn't cheap anymore. Here's why that's both a good and bad thing From Ashlie D. Stevens: There’s a lot that goes into how a meal is priced, including the cost of labor, the cost of ingredients and the cost of logistics and transportation — essentially how much it costs to get all the elements of said meal from wherever they originated into the walk-in. Over the last several years, most of these factors have gotten more expensive. [Read more](~/AASU4wA~/RgRnK1pPP0RoaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvb2c0azlmazg0MS8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPTB2OGg0MjRmMWQmbGhfZW09dHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODUlNDBnbWFpbC5jb21XA3NwY0IKZUVP1Uhl-LdkbFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo).
