US retailers, automakers and other businesses face ballooning freight rates as they make contingency plans for a strike that threatens to close nearly three dozen ports next week. The International Longshoremen’s Association, which represents 25,000 dockworkers at ports between Maine and Texas, said it planned to walk off the job early Tuesday unless port operators agreed to substantially raise their wages and limit automation. The strike would close east coast and gulf coast ports that handle roughly half of the goods imported via container, including food, pharmaceuticals, consumer electronics and apparel, costing the US economy as much as $5bn each day, JPMorgan…

Hairy situation Yes, when someone pulls your hair – if you have enough hair that someone can pull it – it hurts. But the truth of why that is, and some of the how much and some of the how, has only recently become evident, thanks to a team of researchers scattered across several countries. Reader Sarah MacIntyre brought their work to Feedback’s attention. The researchers are – there’s no better way to say this – painstaking in how they describe their discovery: “Single-unit axonal recordings revealed that a class of cooling-responsive myelinated nociceptors in human skin is selectively tuned…
Screenshot: The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon YouTube Hollywood, in general, is an example of the dumbing down of society, but actor Matt Smith is calling out their use of trigger warnings for movies and television shows quite specifically.

The air raids came a day after the Huthis said they targeted Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport with a missile, trying to hit it as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu returned from New York. “Dozens of Air Force aircraft, including fighter jets, refuelling planes, and reconnaissance aircraft, attacked military-use targets of the Huthi terrorist regime in the Ras Issa and Hodeida areas of Yemen,” military spokesman Captain David Avraham said in a statement to AFP. Israel also hit Hodeida port in July, causing what an official there said was at least $20 million in damage, after a Huthi drone penetrated Israeli air…
The move will boost the prime minister’s governing coalition domestically as Israel attacks countries across the region.Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced that his former rival Gideon Saar is joining the Israeli cabinet, a move that will boost the government coalition and bolster its support in the country’s parliament. The hawkish Saar will serve as a minister without a portfolio, the prime minister said on Sunday. Saar’s inclusion in the government coalition takes its support in the 120-seat Israeli parliament from 64 to 68, weakening the de facto veto power that far-right parties have over the cabinet.

Apparently, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield woke up feeling dangerous on Sunday. On a fourth-and-goal with 14:09 left in the second quarter and the Buccaneers (2-1) leading the Philadelphia Eagles (2-1), 14-0, Mayfield faked a handoff to running back Rachaad White and scored a one-yard rushing touchdown. Mayfield has also thrown two touchdown passes, including a 15-yarder to second-year wide receiver Trey Palmer. The Buccaneers are coming off a disappointing 26-7 loss to the Denver Broncos (1-2) in Week 3, during which Mayfield tossed one interception and posted a below-average 10.4 QBR. The loss may have been a fluke, though,…
