Twitter has a new owner? Did you know? I think you do!  This story  here tells everything. Yes, it is a longgggg story! Basically, Twitter had gotten a bad reputation  because they like to ban users, and remove stories that they didn't agree with. This angered Elon Musk, who also owns Tesla. He stepped up to try and buy the company. When he took over, he unbanned almost everyone and made algorythms public. Many people like...

 June 20th is   the first day of summer! Summer Solstice will take place at 1:24 p.m. Thursday! Please research IN ENGLISH some scientific fact about summer. For example: the time of the sunset, or the position of Earth in space, the amount of sunlight etc. Then search for a fun summer activity IN ENGLISH. For example: going to the beach, making ice cream, safety in the sun etc. Please search WEBSITES not YOUTUBE! Post your information and write in 50 words or more, what you have found Thanks!! My Example:   Today I learned about Summer Solstice. It is the day that the Northern Hemisphere of Earth is facing the closest to the sun. That means its very hot, and we have a lot of sunlight! Actually the South Pole has ZERO sunlight for several months and in other places in the Southern Hemisphere, the day light is very short. I learned about it here  on this site! This vacation I will go see fireworks shows, festivals and maybe go to the beach. If you want to know more ab...

Do not use a Japanese website with google translate and do not translate an English website either! Also do not use wikipedia. That site is boring! Try to find a website made by some one who really likes cooking. It can be a restaurant review, a recipe, a festival or anything else. Please include the link to the page a photo, and write in 50 words or more your opinion about this food! My example: One of my favorite foods in the world is Pirogies! What is that? Well, its potatoes and cheese wrapped in a shell, then fried in butter! Oh it tastes so good. There are many websites that talk about Pirogies but I like  this one . There is a g...

The songs are very funny and often related to pop culture and strange things you dont usually hear in songs. The name of the band Nerf Herder comes form Star Wars, if you did not know. Princess Leia called Han...
