The survey was commissioned by Agriland and the ICMSA, and it shows it isn't only older farmers who want out. One in five farmers in their late forties and early fifties, which is young in this business, say they're likely to leave. Half of those planning to exit have no successor lined up. Yet the same survey says access to land is one of the biggest barriers for people trying to get into farming. So why aren't those leaving and those wanting in finding each other?See omnystudio.com/listener for

Only later did she learn that her friend’s father had died two years earlier and that his watch had been missing ever since.What followed seemed to suggest that the father had

As a deputy sheriff, he was dispatched to an accident on an old Idaho highway after multiple 911 calls reported a car striking a motorcycle.Witnesses described the same horrifying scene: a young rider cut in front of the vehicle, his body struck the hood and windshield, and the car ran over the motorcycle.But when deputies arrived, there was no motorcycle. No injured rider. No skid marks. Not even damage to the car.Then he learned something even stranger. Similar phantom collisions had reportedly

He was spending the day alone at a friend’s old duplex when something crashed into the cats’ food dish behind him.The problem was, both cats were asleep in the next room.Later, he began hearing what sounded like two people whispering in the corner of the living room. When he paused the television, the voices continued—and both cats were staring toward the exact same spot.Then came the heavy footsteps. Someone seemed to be climbing the stairs toward the apartment, getting closer and closer to the

Six stops, one truck: about $2,100 a year in recoverable driver hours, and only if the recovered time actually gets used. Mac and Wren argue over a real run sitting in the app — six accounts, $1,692 on the truck — on why a delivery day is built out of habit and the order the calls came in, why the truck costs an assumed $289 a day to roll (eight hours, $28 an hour fully loaded, $65 fuel), and why delivery is not a distance problem — it is a time-window problem. Mac wins the round: the

The first time she woke in the middle of the night and saw a woman standing in her bedroom, she was terrified.Then she learned about sleep paralysis.Suddenly, everything seemed to make sense—the inability to move, the crushing fear, even the shadowy figure that kept appearing near the dresser. There was a medical explanation for all of it, and for a while, that explanation was enough.But the woman kept coming back.Little by little, strange details began slipping outside the boundaries of what sleep

This week, we dive into a study published in Building and Environment titled The Impact of Energy Retrofit on Indoor Air Quality in Classrooms and Offices, to explore a question that fundamentally challenges how we think about building performance and climate action: What if the single biggest barrier to decarbonising our building stock isn't our lack of technology or ambition—but our complete failure to recognise that when we tighten buildings to save energy, we risk sealing in pollutants, moisture
