OMAHA, Neb. — About 6,000 bees were recently removed from inside the walls of an Omaha couple’s 100-year-old home. Thomas and Marylu Gouttierre told the Omaha World-Herald they have been planting bee-friendly flowers outside their midtown home, but they never expected the bees to move in. The bees likely infiltrated through a hole in the mortar of its brick exterior. The Gouttierres discovered them after noticing many bees flying outside their kitchen window and found about 30 in a second-floor bedroom. “If you put your ears to the wall you could hear the buzzing,” said Thomas Gouttierre, who is a retired dean at the University of Nebraska at Omaha who used to lead the Center for Afghanistan Studies there. Gouttierre said their first thought was to call an exterminator, “but we’ve been reading and there are a lot of great shows on PBS ‘Nature’ about how important bees are to pollinating the world in which we live.” The couple contacted two members of the Omaha Bee … [Read more...] about 6,000 bees removed from inside wall of Nebraska couple’s 100-year-old home

It took about half a day for Mary Ellen Angel, owner of the downtown Houston bar Angel Share HTX, to recover and gather her thoughts after the U.S. Supreme Court repealed Roe v. Wade on June 24. "We all knew it was coming, but I was surprised by the physicality of the emotion that I felt," Angel said. "I woke up to the news and saw it on social media. It made me sick, nauseous, overwhelmed, defeated." The court's decision effectively banned abortion in Texas, due to a trigger law the state had in place ready for when Roe would be overturned. Restaurant workers—a majority low-income and female population—are uniquely affected by lack of access to abortion, and Houston's food community is fighting back with fundraisers and initiatives. Angel Share is a charity bar that donates money to rotating nonprofits every month. Angel is still in the last days of fundraising for the Uvalde school shooting victims, but on Friday she decided her featured charities for July would be the … [Read more...] about Restaurant workers are uniquely affected by abortion bans.

Even when your job is to dream up the interplanetary adventures of a Norse god, you might still want to run off and play pirates.

He would get outfitted in a flowing gray wig, matching facial hair and temporary tattoos, and don deliciously fetishistic leather gear to portray Blackbeard, the swashbuckling, loin-kindling buccaneer of the HBO Max comedy series “Our Flag Means Death.” This is admittedly not a bad way to spend your spare time, though Waititi did occasionally fret over the trade-offs. As he explained recently, “Sometimes you’re pissed off at life and you’re like, ‘Why did I say yes to everything? I don’t have a social life — I’m just working.’ But then the thing comes out, you see where the hard work goes and it’s really worth it.” On TV, Waititi, … [Read more...] about What Makes Taika Waititi Run and Run and Run?
