Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States, turned 100 years old. For The Washington Post, Hannah Dormido and Kevin Uhrmacher show how that compares the other presidents.

Nathan Yau downloaded American Community Survey microdata via IPUMS, analyzed and visualized the data and edited it in Illustrator.

There are hundreds of occupations, and while the exact number varies by classification system, most U.S. government organizations list about 500 of them.

It gets more interesting the further down the list you go, breaking it down by demographic. You get a more accurate picture of the occupations throughout our lives.

Zooming through the outer reaches of the solar system, A #NASA spacecraft just clocked a distance 60 times farther from the sun than Earth.

The extraordinary benchmark announced this week means the #NewHorizons probe has doubled its 2015 distance, when it was snapping pictures of Pluto and its moons.

Perhaps more surprising than this intangible deep-space milestone is the one this intrepid spacecraft hasn't reached yet: the outer edge of the solar system's Kuiper Belt.

Dinastia Real believes that excellence is not a skill but an attitude earned through knowledge and practice handed down from one generation to the next.

That excellence is evident in this elegant spirit, crafted from the finest agave and double distilled before aging for 14 months in French white oak. Notes of chocolate, vanilla, and almonds are the result, along with a cooked agave finish.

Originally, Manresa Island was home to the Manresa Institute, a retreat and recreation destination during the early 20th century.

In the 1950s, it was converted into a coal-fired power plant. With its decommissioning in 2012 following Hurricane Sandy, the area has begun to recover ecologically, showcasing birch forests and increased osprey populations.

This revitalization sets the stage for the transformation into a public amenity that reconnects the community with its coastal heritage.

The unveiling of the vision for Manresa Island marks a significant milestone in the revitalization of Norwalk, Connecticut.

Designed by the Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) in collaboration with landscape architecture firm SCAPE, this ambitious project aims to transform a decommissioned power plant site into a vibrant 125-acre public park.

Surrounded by water on three sides, the site will serve as both a recreational hub and a center for education and ecological restoration.

Three years after the 30-year-old South Korean woman received a barrage of online fake images that depicted her nude, she is still being treated for trauma. She struggles to talk with men. Using a mobile phone brings back the nightmare.

Many other South Korean women recently have come forward to share similar stories as South Korea grapples with a deluge of non-consensual, explicit deepfake videos and images that have become much more accessible and easier to create.

I haven't abandoned my #JekyllandHyde series. ❤️

After my vaccine on 9/1 my system took a downturn thanks to 2 autoimmune diseases I have. I was really unable to do much of anything and didn't have the energy needed to do any quality video work. I plan to get back to it next week with Chapter 6 and Chapter 7, two of my favorite chapters in the book. I wanted to make sure I was in the best place to do them.

LEGO Ideas user [JonnyBrickz1820] has proposed a great idea to become a #LEGO set.

The idea is to LEGO’fy a #chess set with a medieval theme while maintaining its aesthetics to accommodate the pieces when not in use.

The project has already been backed by 1,400 users and I hope this one becomes an official LEGO set one day.

Halloween tee or just reality 🤣

I suck at this for real.

One thing I already love about while True: learn() is that it gives you real world information along with the stuff that has been "gamified". You're learning through the game but also they provide real world info and resources for you to understand it further.

A lot of "programming" games don't really do that and sometimes it's hard to translate the game stuff into real world things - if you even can. Many programming games are fictional languages, but some teach real ones.

"Microaggressions from the musty." is my new favorite phrase ❤️

It’s been over two years since the viral body camera footage was released of a Black Alabama pastor being arrested by the police for watering his neighbor’s flowers. However, he just received a ruling that may help him get justice.

In May 2022 a white 911 caller reported Jennings to the police after seeing him water plants outside a neighbor’s home.

Finished season 1 of #PersonOfInterest. The season finale saw Harold being kidnapped by Amy Acker. I mean if you're gonna get kidnapped it might as well be by Amy Acker. ❤️

I did watch all of season 1 back in the day when it first aired. I really didn't like Jesus Caviezel so I never really continued with it despite loving Taraji's character. So this will be really interesting going forward into season 2 👍🏾

It is a really interesting show for sure.

Tauri has discovered my potato chip bag. It started so innocently ... a gentle touch ... a sniff ... and then he chose violence ...

Thanks to a new A.I.-trained system, researchers have identified an additional 303 Nazca Lines in just six months.

The use of #AI combined with low-flying drones revolutionized the speed and rate at which the new geoglyphs were discovered, according to a research paper published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Many more Nazca lines could remain to be identified with these methods.
