The Massachusetts House just approved a safe, medically supervised path to psychedelic-assisted therapy. This is a huge win for veterans, first responders, and trauma survivors who've run out of options — MA leading from the front. Thank you @MarjorieDecker, @RepJimODay, @CindyFriedmanMA, & the advocates at @vetsforvets.

Now onto the Senate and to @MassGovernor for final approval.

According to Tom Holland, Telemachus' journey in The Odyssey is "one of the great coming-of-age stories in Western literature," and that it "felt like a perfect kind of bookend to the first chapter of my career."

WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Mark Rutte

"You sit next to Donald Trump at moments when he talks about conquering Greenland, talks about lashing out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

Whoever invented this is pure genius

[Physics In History @PhysInHistory]

Sir Isaac Newton once inserted a bodkin—a long, blunt needle—between his eyeball and the bone of his eye socket just to see what would happen.

He carefully recorded the colored circles and other visual effects produced by pressing and rubbing his eye with the needle. In another experiment, he stared at the sun's reflection in a mirror for as long as he could bear, risking permanent blindness, to study the persistence of the visual impression.

BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered the immediate release of President Trump’s $5 million payment to E. Jean Carroll.

The order comes after Trump’s efforts to delay the payment failed, clearing the way for Carroll to receive the money awarded in the sexual abuse and defamation case.

In Japan, a store that had been operating for 75 years has closed its doors after ceasing its activity.

This is how its owners bid farewell to their customers.

Next level bird watching

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

Twelve-year-old Rebecca Young was named one of TIME Magazine's "Girls of the Year" for inventing a solar-powered, wearable heated blanket designed to protect homeless individuals from freezing temperatures.

The invention, developed with engineering support from Thales, utilizes flexible solar panels and a battery-powered heating system, with prototypes currently undergoing testing by local charities.

The young innovator from Kelvinside Academy came up with the idea at age 11 after seeing rough sleepers struggling through freezing winters in her hometown. Her portable invention, which folds directly into a backpack, collects solar energy during the day using small flexible panels and stores it in a compact battery pack. At night, this stored energy powers internal copper wiring to provide up to eight hours of emission-free warmth without requiring access to mains electricity.

The design initially won the prestigious MacRobert Commendation Medal in the UK Primary Engineer Leaders Award competition, standing out among more than 70,000 entries.

Impressed by the concept, the global engineering firm Thales turned her school drawing into a fully functional, waterproof, and flame-retardant prototype. The first batch of functional blankets has already been distributed to local charities, including Homeless Project Scotland, to help vulnerable individuals stay warm during extreme weather.

Hey Critters,

We are very sad to inform you that due to illness, @executivegoth will not be able to appear at our Berlin live show on the 6th of July.

Fortunately, the rest of the cast is healthy, so the show will go on as planned.

This means Taliesin will also not be able to appear at the special photo op event on the 5th July. That event is still taking place, and ticket holders will be contacted directly with more information.

We have been assured that he is putting all his energy into resting and getting better. We are hopeful that he will be able to join us in time for our Scotland live show at Edinburgh Castle on 12th July.

Thank you for being understanding while we prioritize the health of our cast and crew, we'll see you soon in Berlin! ❤️

Pirro: He caused damage and that damage was over $1000.

Reporter: How do you prove that?

Pirro: With an expert.

Reporter: With his bare hands?

Pirro: We believe it's his bare hands, both hands.

Reporter: Do you believe it was damaged before?

Pirro: He damaged it!

Reporter: Had had already been damaged before?

Pirro: He damaged the pool!

BREAKING: CNN just aired a devastating montage of all the times that Donald Trump accused others of using their public office to make money. Donald Trump's net worth has almost tripled since he took office. Everything he accuses others of is an open admission.
