The beef between Terrence Howard and Neil deGrasse Tyson our first story takes us into the world of mathematics and physics, where actor Terrence Howard and astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson find themselves embroiled in a public disagreement.
This all started with Howard's unconventional beliefs, including the idea that one times one equals two.

[00:04:45] Speaker B: Our next story focuses on a landmark decision by the US Supreme Court.
In a unanimous verdict, the court preserved access to my Fabrizio, a medication widely used in abortions.
The ruling states that the abortion opponents lack the legal standing to challenge the FDA's approval and regulation of the drug.
This decision is the first major abortion ruling since the conservative justices overturned ruby way two years ago. It brings relief to many in the medical community and those advocating for reproductive rights.
However, it's important to note that this ruling is narrow in its scope, addressing the legal issue of standing rather than broader judgments on the FDA's actions or the drug safety.
To understand the implications of this decision and hear reactions from both President Joe Biden and pro life advocates, let's take a deeper dive into this significant news article on our STM Daily News log.
Debunking the myths California's new minimum wage law and its real impact on fast food jobs and our final story takes us to California, where a controversial claim has emerged regarding the state's minimum wage law and its alleged impact on the fast food industry. The claim suggests that the minimum wage increase has led to massive job losses and business struggles.
However, this claim has been debunked by data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Federal Reserve.
In fact, employment in California's fast food industry has increased since the law was enacted. The claim of massive job losses fails to hold up to scrutiny. When considering accurate, seasonally adjusted data, it's essential to consider the broader economic context and other factors impacting the fast food industry, such as food cost, inflation and debt burdens from private equity ownership.
To get the complete picture and understand the real impact of California's minimum wage law on the fast food industry, head to our STM daily news blog, where we delve deeper into this story.
And there you have it, a wrap up of the stories we covered on our STM daily news blog.
From the beef between Terrence Howard and Neil deGrasse Tyson, to the unanimous Supreme Court decision on abortion medication and the debunking of myths surrounding California's minimum wage law, we hope you found these stories informative and thought provoking.
