Yesterday's fun fact answer: Product designer Chris Messina proposed the hashtag on Twitter in 2007 as a way to group conversations. Twitter initially thought it was too nerdy, but users embraced it – especially during the 2007 San Diego wildfires – and the company officially adopted clickable hashtags in 2009.

Observed on March 22, World Water Day highlights the importance of freshwater when demand is rising across homes, farms, factories and, increasingly, AI-driven data centers.
The United Nations established the observance in 1993 to raise awareness about global water challenges. Although water covers 71% of Earth’s surface, less than 1% is easily accessible freshwater. Today, 2.1 billion people still lack safe drinking water. At the same time, massive data centers use significant water for cooling, adding new pressure in some communities.
As technology grows and climate stress increases, the holiday is a reminder that water conservation matters more than ever.

The album’s 30-week run at No. 1 ended only when it was replaced by the Beatles’ next album, "With the Beatles." Image courtesy of Wikipedia.
The Beatles released their debut album, "Please Please Me," on March 22, 1963, and it helped turn four young musicians from Liverpool into a national obsession.
Recorded mostly in about 13 hours at EMI Studios in London, the album captured the energy of their live club act. It featured 14 songs, including “Love Me Do,” “Please Please Me” and “Twist and Shout.” The record hit No. 1 in the U.K. and stayed there for 30 weeks. At the time, Beatlemania was just beginning in Britain.
Within a year, the band would explode in America and reshape pop music worldwide.

The word broccoli comes from the Italian "broccolo," meaning “flowering crest of cabbage,” and it belongs to the same plant family as cabbage, cauliflower and kale. Image courtesy of Unsplash.
Today is National Broccoli Day, celebrating the green vegetable that looks like tiny trees.
Broccoli traces back to ancient Rome, where it was cultivated from wild cabbage and valued for both flavor and nutrition. The edible part is made up of tightly packed flower buds that would bloom into yellow flowers if left to grow. The vegetable reached the United States in the early 1900s with Italian immigrants and steadily gained popularity. Today, California produces about 90 percent of the nation’s broccoli.
Rich in fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K and antioxidants, broccoli remains one of America’s most widely eaten vegetables.
For a simple addition to a meal, toss broccoli crowns in olive oil, salt and pepper and roast in a 400°F oven for 15-20 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with Parmesan, lemon juice or red pepper flakes.
