Cats … in space? It's not a crazy notion for fans of Drew Brockington's 'CatStronauts,' who've devoured his graphic novels the way pilot Waffles eats a tuna fish sandwich. After six books detailing the adventures of Waffles, Blanket, Pom-Pom and Major Meowser, Brockington recently launched a prequel series detailing the kittenhood adventures of siblings Waffles and Pancakes. How did they end up wanting to be catstronauts? At a special Talking Volumes in Rochester, Minn., earlier this month, Brockington told MPR News host Kerri Miller about the 'Waffles and Pancakes' books and why he first decided to send cats to outer space in the first place.

There are no safe tobacco products. But different products have different levels of risk. Cigarettes and other smoked tobacco products are the most harmful, while products like e-cigarettes may be lower-risk alternatives for adults who already smoke. Unfortunately, that message seems to have gotten twisted in the public's mind. A recent survey published in the journal Addiction found that only about 20% of the respondents thought that e-cigarettes had fewer harmful chemicals than cigarettes. This misperception even exists among some health care providers who may not realize where each product sits on the continuum of risk.

The Noelin family of secreted proteins bind to the external portion of AMPA glutamate receptors and stabilize them on the neuronal cellular membrane, a process necessary for transmission of full-strength signals between neurons, according to a study in mice from the National Eye Institute (NEI) and the University of Freiberg, Germany. Without this external, stabilizing protein network, the AMPA receptors are no longer retained at the synapse, leading to weak, short-lived synaptic signals. The findings not only provide insight into processes such as learning and memory but also the development of blinding conditions like glaucoma.

The horrific killing of Kian delos Santos, 17; Carl Arnaiz, 19, and Reynaldo 'Kulot' de Guzman, 14, seems to be from a distant past, better forgotten for the sheer brutality of police forces descending on poor communities to pursue the Duterte administration's war on drugs. After all, the new government has spurned the bloody approach to combatting illegal drugs, which President Marcos admitted had given rise to human rights violations. Henceforth, he said, government will focus on prevention and the rehabilitation of drug users while continuing operations against drug syndicates plying the nefarious trade.

As we embark on the vibrant and empowering month of Pride, it is crucial to delve into the multifaceted phenomenon known as 'pink capitalism' that lurks beneath the surface of this inclusive movement. Pink capitalism (also called 'rainbow capitalism') encompasses the commodification and commercialization of LGBTQ+ identities and struggles, raising profound implications that demand critical analysis. Within the recognition of a significant market for LGBTQ+ specific products and services lies the genesis of pink capitalism.
