The college age population is going to shrink. So lets popularize post retirement college enrolment, say for the humanities, history and fine arts, since these three areas are going to shrink the most. As a society we can't move forward if history (literary, visual arts history, and 'real' history) is forgotten. And post retirement activity prolongs a healthy life.

The domain name registrar Freenom, whose free domain names have long been a draw for spammers and phishers, has stopped allowing new domain name registrations. The move comes just days after the Dutch registrar was sued by Meta, which alleges the company ignores abuse complaints about phishing websites while monetizing traffic to those abusive domains.
