Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- All US companies should make this a strict policy. Wells Fargo orders employees to remove TikTok from work phones.

- This seems hypocritical from Coke and Nike

- A Special Forces soldier's case for leaving Afghanistan. I honestly don't know what we should do in Afghanistan.

- 25-years after returning to Yellowstone, wolves have helped stabilize the ecosystem

- The modern "No Shirt - No Service" sign

- This is real. Productive meeting are tough enough. Now imagine if you require they start on time and stick to an agenda that you could be reported as a racist. Source, 

Wolves, REM Sleep and the Advent of Man

While reading the book Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker, PhD I was struck by the thought that maybe, just maybe the taming of wolves by Homo Sapiens allowed early man to get more REM sleep while the wolves "stood guard" at night.

This extra REM sleep may have allowed for better brain "health", more vivid dreaming and maybe just that extra ingredient to allow mankind to become the dominant species on the planet.

As I said - maybe, just maybe.
