For the optical media side of things, the name was coined by Phillips while they were consorting with Sony to develop the standard and named it the “Compact Disc” to compliment their already existing “Compact Cassette” product. They developed an official logo for the format which spelled it “disc.” That’s been with us ever since.

Didn't LaserDisc predate Compact Discs?

2023 Minnesota law Walz signed mandating free menstruation products in all public school restrooms used by students in grades four to 12.

Yep, that's a scarlet badge of honor in my book.

Biden ordered the FAA to tell airlines to not charge to seat families with young kids together. This was respected by most airlines, but not all, I think. Alaska Airlines, at least, was good about it, but it was annoying since you always had to do it at the gate and was subject to availability.
