The amendment instructs public school staff to teach topics around race “efficiently and faithfully,” using materials that meet “the highest standards of professionalism and historical accuracy.” It bans the teaching of critical race theory, which the legislation describes as “the theory that racism is not merely the product of prejudice, but that racism is embedded in American society and its legal systems in order to uphold the supremacy of white persons....

There are many great puzzle games that mess with players’ perception of space, but few do it as elegantly as Manifold Garden.

Genes It’s taking time to pin down the exact nature of how Crohn’s disease may be inherited because while it has been known for some time that it “runs in families,” it was not exactly clear how that occurred. Scientists have now identified about 200 genes that may be involved in the development of Crohn’s disease.

Crossovers were mentioned by Overwatch 2 lead Jon Spector, with Spector specifically mentioning the possibility of working with “other brands and other games.” Fortnite’s Naruto crossover was specifically name-dropped, and though no specifics were provided as to any crossover plans, the fact that Blizzard has any interest in the idea at all means there is a chance that programs involving other franchises could happen.
