@BigBattyVulpix Trust me. Years of traveling with them. I could tell you some horror stories. Stranded twice in two countries. And they do not care.

They hauled her from the car with no visible attempt at first aid, then threw her into the back of a pickup truck, her body clearly wedged between the door n suhm as they struggled to close it. Every forceful attempt to shut that door appeared to add even more trauma to her body

A parasite that has been eating people for 3,500 years is about to be wiped off the planet. It infected 3.5 million people in 1986. Last year, it infected 10. And I have not seen it make a single front page.

It is called Guinea worm. You drink contaminated water from a pond in a poor village. A year later, a worm up to three feet long starts coming out of your leg through a burning blister. There is no pill that stops it and no surgery that works. You wrap the worm around a stick and pull it out slowly, over days or weeks, inch by inch. If you rush, the worm breaks inside you and causes a fresh infection.

Guinea worm is ancient. Preserved worms have been pulled out of Egyptian mummies from around 1000 BCE. The Ebers Papyrus, an Egyptian medical scroll from 1550 BCE, describes pulling the worm out with a stick. For three and a half thousand years, that was the best humans could do.

Then in 1986, public health workers decided to kill the parasite off. They had no vaccine and no drug. What they had was cheap cloth water filters and a small army of volunteers willing to walk from village to village for decades.

The plan was simple. Give everyone who drinks from a pond a cloth filter to strain out the tiny water fleas that spread the parasite. Then send volunteers walking house to house, year after year, teaching people how to use the filters and keeping anyone with an emerging worm out of the water.

It worked. From 3.5 million cases a year to 10. Four were in Chad, four in Ethiopia, two in South Sudan. The other four countries where the worm used to be common, Angola, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and Mali, had zero human cases for the second year in a row. The World Health Organization has already certified 200 countries as Guinea worm free. Six are left.

The last hurdle is dogs. Cameroon had 445 infected animals last year and Chad had 147, so a lot of the remaining work is on animals, not humans. Strays get leashed, and crews treat ponds to kill any remaining worms. The campaign keeps watching until the number hits zero.

When Guinea worm hits zero, it becomes the second human disease ever erased from the planet. The first was smallpox. It will also be the first parasite humans have ever wiped out, and the first disease ever ended without a single dose of medicine. Volunteers walked village to village with cloth filters for 40 years. Now a plague from the age of the pharaohs is about to be gone.

I was going to make a video about this but instead I decided to text. In my life I have not been well mentally. Been depressed, having suicidal thoughts and manic episodes on social media which many of you cried or was disappointed about. Jumped out of a moving as well. Recently I realized that there might have been an issue with me so I went to the Bellevue Hospital where I met with the CEO Suzette Buchanan and was admitted for a week, then was diagnosed with Bi-Polar Disorder. I’m currently on antidepressants and mood stabilizers. In my country, Jamaica, mental health isn’t taken serious. After information of me coming out of the hospital I was bullied and labeled as “a mad man”, even before that throughout my career I have been labeled as such which is understandable because I was suffering from something I had no knowledge of. People took advantage of me, my money and the mental power I possess. Manipulated my emotions and thoughts because I’m vulnerable but really I’m just genuine with a drive to flourish and to help people along my way. Things that happened to me in my life, my career path and the struggles and fights that come with it made my illness even worst. So I’m expressing this to my fans, my supporters all over the world so you all can have a better understanding about the star that you have created. To apologize to you all for the tears that you have shed or the disappointments you might have felt towards me, and asking for your full support throughout this very difficult time in my life. I am still able to create so the journey doesn’t stop until we have successfully taken over the world. I am still streaming on TikTok for entertainment and financial support for my projects. I love you all my supporters, I am humble and grateful for all your blessings and prayers. Now I quote. “creativity is adjacent to mental illness and overlaps with it substantially”.

I worked at Epic Games for two years. This is real, and the strategy behind it is smarter than most people realize.

Tim Sweeney has spent nearly two decades buying North Carolina forest land. 50,000+ acres across 15 counties. He’s now one of the largest private landowners in the state. The purchases started in 2008, right after the real estate collapse wiped out developers who had been planning golf resorts and luxury communities on biodiverse wilderness.

Sweeney paid $15 million for Box Creek Wilderness, a 7,000-acre stretch in the Blue Ridge foothills containing 130+ rare and threatened species. Developers had owned 5,000 of those acres before the crash. He bought them for conservation prices when nobody else was bidding.

He runs the acquisitions through an LLC called “130 of Chatham.” He buys the land, holds it for years, then either donates it to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, sells it at a discount to state parks, or hands it to land trusts. In 2021, he donated 7,500 acres in the Roan Highlands to the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy. Largest private land donation in North Carolina history.

The part people miss: he told the News & Observer that since 2021, land got too expensive to keep buying. So he shifted focus to converting his existing 50,000 acres into permanent conservation status. He’s locking the land into legal structures that make development impossible regardless of who owns it in the future.

A billionaire worth roughly $6 billion is spending tens of millions acquiring wilderness specifically during economic downturns, then giving it away or placing it under permanent legal protection. The land will outlast him, Epic Games, and Fortnite.

That’s the part that separates Sweeney from billionaires who write checks to get their name on a building. The building depreciates. The forest compounds.

Everybody is willing to get their visa as Prime Minister or President taken away. BUT, they have no Cuban doctors and nurses working there, and some are about to leave office. So this is all hypothetical theater and drama.

Nobody is talking about ordinary citizens going to the Embassy and getting turned away like we JUST SAW IN COLOMBIA. And the State Department just issued a “reconsider travel” notice for tourist-dependent Jamaica.

Not one of these leaders, however, is discussing the accusations of “forced labour”. Conveniently. We can support Cuba, vote for the 40 year embargo to end AND still say that forced labour is wrong. Just because we benefited from it during the pandemic doesn’t all of a sudden make it right.

Make sure you don’t support Cuba so much that you become them, especially in an increasingly unstable foreign policy environment where the US has the handle and we have the blade. Principles are imperative, but they don’t fry up well for breakfast.

Walk good.

14 flamingos?

Why are flamingos the unit of measurement?

JUST IN: The World Meteorological Organization has officially retired Hurricane Melissa’s name due to the extreme wind damage the storm inflicted to Jamaica. It will never be used for another Atlantic Hurricane.

The name replacing it is MOLLY.

And even worse, the ATMs keep rejecting some of the notes. So you end up taking longer cause you have to keep trying.

This is unacceptable Scotiabank Jamaica.

There are 6 machines and of the 2 designated for deposits, only ONE is working. There’s a line of 20 people & after waiting for over an hour, I’m only at 5th position.
This should NOT be happening at an established bank. @scotiabank
