It can be hard to convey the danger of abstinence-only sex ed programs, but a new set of trading cards is hoping to do exactly that. 

The Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS), Advocates for Youth, and Answer, nonprofit organizations that promote comprehensive sex ed, have partnered to create a new campaign called #SRAisAbstinenceOnly. 

The campaign calls out the rise of sexual risk avoidance (SRA) curriculum to teach sex ed. While “sexual risk avoidance” may sound nice, it’s really just a rebranding of abstinence-only-until-marriage, which the new trading cards effectively illustrate. Read more…

Millennials, avocado toast, bad spending habits, blah blah blah. At this point, the dead horse has been thoroughly beaten and shipped off to the glue factory.

Anyone born between 1981 and 1996 knows all too well that millennials get a bad rap when it comes to all things personal finance — as if we *wanted* lifelong student loan debt, a housing affordability crisis, or a gig economy in which well-paying jobs with benefits are basically unicorns. 

… But we digress. The thing is, millennials are actually pretty savvy when it comes to money management and financial planning, or at least way more so than most people think. We budget and save almost as much as baby boomers do, and more than half of us have a savings goal. (The same can’t been said for older generations.) Plus, we can spot a bad value a mile away — sorry, napkins — and we know a scam when we see one. (See: the diamond industry, marriage.) Read more…

Detail is scant, but the game will feature Google Maps integration and allow players to explore The Upside Down on their daily commute and travels — hello, Pokémon Go.

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi last year wanted to make his expanding ride-sharing company the “Amazon of transportation” with e-scooters and e-bikes added to the platform. Now he’s tagging on being the “Google of transportation” as part of his goals for the company.

At the Uber Elevate Summit in Washington, D.C., Wednesday, Khosrowshahi overviewed “all the ways to get around your city.” It’s no longer just ordering a taxi from an app. There’s Uber Copter coming to New York City next month for helicopter rides to the airport, and Uber Eats drone deliveries in San Diego. New self-driving cars are coming back online. And starting next year, “we want to take the transportation grid into the third dimension,” he said. Read more…

Google is about to make video games even weirder than they already are, and you might have to learn what some numbers mean to keep up.

Last week, Google revealed launch information for its Stadia gaming platform. The sales pitch for Stadia is a strong one on the surface: You can play the biggest games with the highest visual settings without buying any new hardware. If you own a Chromecast or any device that runs a Chrome browser, you’re set.

Stadia does this by basically being Netflix for games. The game isn’t running in your home, it’s running on a powerful computer in a Google data center near you. You’re streaming a video of yourself playing a game, which means you can’t play anything without a stable internet connection. Read more…

If all goes according to plan, Uber Air flying taxis will take off in Dallas, Los Angeles, and Melbourne in 2023, the company announced at its annual Uber Elevate Summit on Wednesday. Think of it like Uber Pool in the sky (but definitely not as cheap).

The electric VTOLs (vertical take-off and landing vehicles) are similar to a helicopter, and will carry four passengers at low altitude from skyports in each metro area. Test flights are slated to begin next year—with cautious FAA approval. The agency’s acting administrator Dan Elwell spoke at the conference Tuesday and shared his thoughts on Uber Air in a string of tweets. Read more…
