Love Is Blind is a reality TV dating show that premiered on Netflix in February 2020. It is currently in its season 4. The show is hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, and it has gained a lot of popularity since its release. The unique premise of the show involves single men and women who are looking for love. The twist is that they are not allowed to see each other before they decide whether or not they want to get engaged. The show's contestants go on "dates" in "pods," which are essentially small rooms where they can talk to one another, but they are not able to see each other. They are given a chance to build a connection and develop an emotional bond with one another before they even see what their potential partner looks like.

After a few days of talking in the pods, the contestants are given the option to propose to their favourite person. If both parties agree, they get engaged, and then they finally get to see each other in person for the first time. The couples then go on a romantic vacation at a couples' retreat resort to get to know each other better and get physically intimate before returning home to meet each other's families and friends.

The contestants are also given counselling and advice from the show's relationship experts. They help couples deal with any issues that may arise and give them guidance on how to build a healthy and successful relationship.

Activists are rallying against the proposed willow oil and gas drilling project in Alaska. The Biden administration is weighing the approval of the major oil project. Amid fierce criticism, reports suggest the white house may reduce the scope of the project. The willow project is a $6 billion proposal from Conocophillips' to drill oil and gas in Alaska. It would be located inside the national petroleum reserve - Alaska, a 23 million-acre area on the state's north slope, the largest tract of undisturbed public land in the U.S. The willow project area holds an estimated 600 million barrels of oil; or more than the amount currently held in the U.S. Strategic petroleum reserve. Environmental groups remain staunchly opposed, arguing the project conflicts with the Biden's promises to fight climate change; and poses a threat to pristine wilderness. Many say the project is out of step with Biden’s goals to slash planet-warming carbon emissions in half by 2030 and move to clean energy.
