Worms, plankton, water fleas, sedges, algae, and cattails—the foundations of the food web in Toronto’s Don River ecosystem, simply woke up again after 130 years of entombment, stunning scientists. The Don River was tamed and turned into a canalized, industrial waterfront at the turn of the century, and was recently the focus of one of […] The post Microscopic Ecosystem Buried for 130 Years Wakes Up After Wetland Restoration in Toronto appeared first on Good News Network.

News Stranger Things Stranger Things Crew Finally Share First Details About Linda Hamilton’s Character There are 215 villains in the Stranger Things universe. Linda Hamilton is one. By Molly Templeton | Published on October 17, 2025 Image: Paramount Pictures Comment 0 Share New Share Image: Paramount Pictures The final season of Stranger Things begins in just about a month, and the promotional cycle has well and truly begun: Interviews with Stranger Things creators the Duffer Brothers are getting almost as long as some of the series’ episodes, and even Time has a cover story on the series. But the Duffers are revealing very, very little about how it all ends. Most of the stories lean heavily on what it’s been like for the Duffers and their stars—former children now all grown up—to have worked on the series for ten solid years. But here and there, details spring out. Barb’s body, if not Barb herself, makes an appearance in the final season. (The Duffers admitted to Time that they were wrong to initially dismiss audience interest in Barb.) And we finally know a teensy bit more about Dr. Kay, the mysterious character played by Linda Hamilton. Dr. Kay and her terrible hairdo appeared briefly in the trailer Netflix released in July, but that appearance gave us little to go on: Who on this show hasn’t walked down a red-lit corridor, looking tense and carrying a weapon? The Duffers told Time that among the “key inspirations” for this final season are Home Alone’s booby traps—and also Terminator 2. Costume designer Amy Parris told Time, “There’s this sort of mercenary regime, they’re called the Wolf Pack. They’re Dr. Kay’s men who are meant to be finding Eleven.” Presumably, given the T2 reference, they are relentless and difficult to kill. Dr. Kay herself is apparently a government scientist. I’m getting Buffy season four vibes all of a sudden. The official synopsis for season five notes that “the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding.” Meanwhile, her evil counterpart Vecna has vanished. Netflix says, “The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time.” I just want to know what song will be playing. Stranger Things begins its final season with the four episodes of Volume 1 on November 26t; three more episodes follow in Volume 2 on December 25, and the finale happens on New Year’s Eve.

Vivek Ramaswamy’s gubernatorial election in Ohio isn’t until next year, but in the meantime he’s looking to assist another Republican hopeful, this time in New Jersey. Voters in the Garden State will soon select a new governor to replace term-limited Democrat Phil Murphy. There’s a solid chance that will be Jack Ciattarelli, the Republican who came close to beating Murphy in 2021. On Wednesday, Ramaswamy, who’s been campaigning throughout Ohio, joined Ciattarelli at the Saddle Brook Diner as part of Ciattarelli’s diner tour. ? ? https://t.co/QFSzyYSrKC— Vivek Ramaswamy (@VivekGRamaswamy) October 16, 2025 Greeting Ramaswamy with “a warm New Jersey welcome,” Ciattarelli referred to the entrepreneur as “Mr. Ohio,” and “the next governor of the state of Ohio.” Addressing the enthusiastic crowd, Ramaswamy pointed out that “New Jersey is a state with a lot of Republicans who just don’t know yet that they’re actually Republicans!” He also referenced Ciattarelli’s endorsement from President Donald Trump, which Ramaswamy said “propelled [Ciattarelli] on this way to now unite this whole state.” “New Jersey, you guys are about to show this country how it’s done,” Ramaswamy continued before bringing up the state’s recent voting trends. “Just because your neighbors, or your friends, or the people you meet with at the diner used to think one way a few years ago, doesn’t mean it has to stay that way,” he offered to murmurs of agreement. While then Vice President Kamala Harris won New Jersey’s 14 electoral votes last year, her nearly 6-point win was significantly less than when former President Joe Biden won in 2020 by nearly 16 points. Ramaswamy noted that the Republican Party is “not just about defeating the Left,” as “we already did that last year.” Instead, they’re “ready to save the country.” He framed the election as “not about right versus left, but right versus wrong” and what it means to be an American. Ramaswamy would later talk even more about what it means to be an American, just as he has done at other events. “Next year we’re celebrating the 250th anniversary,” Ramaswamy called to mind, relating this upcoming birthday to what he says is “a moral mandate, an obligation to our founders, to our country, to our history, to preserve that for another 250 years.” Ramaswamy stressed, “We’re doing a great job starting with what we won last November, but the next step is the states,” he reminded, differentiating the importance between handling issues in Washington, D.C., and the states. Ramaswamy also referenced issues affecting New Jersey, including COVID-19, boys participating in girls’ sports, and rising costs as he promoted Ciattarelli as the “one man who is going to take this state of New Jersey to the next level, to show New York across the street, Mamdani’s New York City, how it’s actually done in the United States of America!” He would continue to draw contrasts between New York City under Democrat Zohran Mamdani and New Jersey under a Ciattarelli administration. Ramaswamy also encouraged attendees to “back Jack,” with the crowd chanting along, as a way to “restore merit,” “bring down costs,” “restore freedom of speech,” “wake up the American dream,” and “make New Jersey great again.” Ramaswamy used that as a segue to note that the state is hungry for change. Ramaswamy reminded the crowd he has his own gubernatorial race coming up next year, urging New Jersey to set an example. “We’re going to Ohio next year, but you’ve got to pave the path this year, we’re counting on you,” he told Ciattarelli. Wow. We love you back, New Jersey. ?? pic.twitter.com/YQtagS0z3F— Vivek Ramaswamy (@VivekGRamaswamy) October 16, 2025 Ramaswamy made similar comments to Fox News. He told the outlet that elections in New Jersey and Virginia would “set the table for even bigger and more decisive victories, hopefully in places like Ohio next year.” Ramaswamy’s perhaps most important reminder came towards the end of his appearance with Ciattarelli, as they were beginning to take questions, and that was on the importance of voters turning out, especially for off-year elections. “We’re going to get the job done by showing up,” he said, pointing out it “doesn’t matter” that this isn’t a presidential year, since it is “a governor’s year. And if you’re successful here, you’re paving a path for 2026 across the country, showing them how we’re going to do this.” During his remarks, Ciattarelli not only expressed confident optimism about his own race, but down-ballot races to achieve a Republican majority in the state House. He acknowledged this hasn’t been the case in the Garden State for 30 years. “So,” he told Ramaswamy, “We’re going to win this race this year, we thank you for your help, and then we’re coming to Ohio to help you win.” The New Jersey gubernatorial race between Ciattarelli and Democratic Rep. Mikie Sherrill is considered “Lean Democratic,” while Ohio’s is considered “Likely Republican.” The post Ramaswamy Sees New Jersey Election as Way to ‘Pave the Path’ appeared first on The Daily Signal.

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties, subscribe to Reclaim The Net. A major technology association is suing the State of Texas over a new law that threatens both privacy and free expression. The Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA) has filed a federal lawsuit challenging Senate Bill 2420, which is set to take effect on January 1, 2026. We obtained a copy of the lawsuit for you here. The group argues that the law forces both app stores and developers to impose invasive ID age checks, obtain parental consent, and label content in state-approved ways that violate the First Amendment. Under SB 2420, anyone with an app store account would need to complete an age-verification process before downloading or updating applications. If an app store determines that a user is under 18, that user would be blocked from downloading most apps or making in-app purchases unless a parent gives consent and assumes control of the account. Minors who cannot link their profiles to a parent or guardian would lose access to app store content entirely. App developers would also face new rules. They must classify their apps into multiple age categories and provide written explanations for each rating. Every update, feature addition, or design change would require written notice to the app store. CCIA says these mandates compel developers to describe their products in ways dictated by the state and pressure companies to collect personal data that users should not have to disclose. Stephanie Joyce, CCIA’s Senior Vice President, Chief of Staff, and Director of the CCIA Litigation Center, stated: “We support online protections for younger internet users, and those protections should not come at the expense of free expression and personal privacy. This Texas law violates the First Amendment by restricting app stores from offering lawful content, preventing users from seeing that content, and compelling app developers to speak of their offerings in a way pleasing to the state. “That is why we are asking the court to strike down this law and to block it from being enforced while we demonstrate how severely it violates the US Constitution. “In addition to the constitutional problems, this law places burdens on app stores, developers, minors, and parents that are completely disproportionate to any harm policymakers were attempting to remedy.” The bill’s author, Sen. Angela Paxton, R-McKinney, has said the intent of SB 2420 is to protect young people from harmful online content. In her statement of intent, Paxton described how “unlike brick and mortar stores, which must verify a consumer’s age before the purchase of age-restricted products such as alcohol and cigarettes, minors are currently able to navigate through the digital world without such parameters.” She added that the bill “simply provides additional framework, transparency, and enforcement to protect the children of Texas.” The law directs app stores such as Apple and Google to use “a commercially reasonable method” to verify the ages of users. The two tech giants say they are going to implement the features, but stressed that such laws harm user privacy. It also permits software to access stored verification documents, which must then be deleted once age is confirmed. Parents could file lawsuits if companies violate the law, while the Texas Attorney General could investigate alleged deceptive trade practices. CCIA’s complaint calls SB 2420 a “misguided attempt to protect minors.” The filing argues that “our Constitution forbids this. None of our laws require businesses to ‘card’ people before they can enter bookstores and shopping malls. The First Amendment prohibits such oppressive laws as much in cyberspace as it does in the physical world.” If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties, subscribe to Reclaim The Net.
