President Biden banned new oil and gas drilling along more than 625 million acres of U.S. coastal waters on Monday. He said he was making the move because drilling posed unnecessary risks to the environment, public health and the coastal communities’ economies. nyti.ms/4gH37YL

For over a thousand years, the main purpose of Britain’s Royal Mint has been to make coins. But as the use of cash declines, the mint is undergoing a transformation. Its new purpose: recovering precious metals from electronic waste. And turning that metal into jewelry. See how: nyti.ms/3BHSDt8

The White House will send emails Friday to 277,000 borrowers informing them their debts — $7.4 billion in total — are being canceled. As Election Day nears, the Biden administration has ramped up efforts to tout the president’s record on wiping clear the education debts of millions of Americans.

When the clock strikes midnight on January 1, works of art & culture from 1928 will enter the public domain in the US, meaning they can be remixed & reused in new creative works. And 1928 was a big year, thanks to a famous mouse... Join our celebrations: blog.archive.org/2023/12/05/w...
The imaginary cover to a 1928 issue of "Weird Tales from the Public Domain" features a fat cat in a top hat, smoking a cigar, strangling a mouse. The tagline of "Freeing culture from corporate captivity" runs along the bottom of the image.
