The bell tolls for National Gallery, London. Yesterday, the NG announced plans for sweeping changes. Phrases such as "taking an audience- and customercentric approach in everything we do", "removing barriers to engagement" and "reach new, more diverse visitors" will send a chill down your spine.

WOW 🚨 Dunkin Donuts cancels Christmas but celebrates Muslim Islamic Holidays and Pride
“Dunkin' Donuts — rolled out a number of Ramadan specials, including ‘Eid-Credible Delights’ and ‘Happily Ever Iftar’ Meals. You also had a Ramadan specialty drink.” They also did holiday hours for Ramadan — I also noticed that in June you had a Pride Month celebration as well as Pride donuts and even a Pride rainbow tumbler”
However if you go to their website now, Christmas is gone. Their holiday drinks out out but not a single mention of Christmas anywhere this year
“The word Christmas isn’t anywhere on your website or anywhere in your stores. In fact, I couldn't believe it, so I Googled it and saw that you intentionally omit the word Christmas in your corporate materials and in your stores and on your website.”
“I want to know why you have no problem using the words Ramadan and Pride, but you can't bring yourself to use the word Christmas.”
I can confirm, I research and their holiday drinks are out and Christmas is completely gone everywhere.
I even found older posts from them where they used to post “Merry Christmas!”
So they used to celebrate Christmas but now they’ve chosen Islam, Ramadan and Pride
I included video proof at the end that shows they used to celebrate Christmas, so this is an intentional choice
Your grip strength may say more about how long you'll live than your bathroom scale does.
Research has tied a weak grip to higher risk of early death from all causes.
Carry the groceries in one trip. Hang from a bar. Swing a kettlebell.
Hold on to life. Literally.
MAHA
In 1985 Donald Trump donated $1 million to Vietnam veterans, who he said “got a bad shake” when they came home.
He’s been fighting for our veterans his entire life.
Food stamp advocate SELF-DESTRUCTS as Rep. Brandon Gill presses her on why taxpayers pay for Coca-Cola.
She tries to dodge the question. Then Gill pulls out the receipts, and she sits there in stunned silence.
GILL: “Should SNAP dollars be spent on sodas?”
WITNESS: “I am happy to talk about hunger and nutrition, but not dictate what Americans should or should not eat or may have access to.”
GILL: “I’m asking if tax dollars should be used to pay for sodas.”
“Do they need sugary sodas to survive?”
WITNESS: “Some of them do…”
GILL: “You think they need Coca-Cola to survive?”
“I’m giving you the opportunity to say yes or no.”
WITNESS: “I will not answer for individuals and their… choices.”
GILL: “What does SNAP stand for?”
WITNESS: “It’s a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.”
GILL: “What’s nutritional about Coca-Cola?”
WITNESS: “I am not a nutritionist.”
Then Gill asks who’s paying her, and she freezes like a deer in headlights.
GILL: “Is your organization funded by organizations that make money from food stamps?”
[awkward silence]
GILL: “Do organizations who profit off of food stamps fund your organization or businesses?”
WITNESS: “I mean, in the, in the, I, I can’t comment to that.”
GILL: “Does General Mills fund your organization?”
WITNESS: “I don’t have access to that information.”
GILL: “I do. It’s right here. They do fund your organization. […] Yes, and they’re profiting off of your advocacy. Do you think that that’s a conflict of interest?”
[more silence]
GILL: “I think most people think that’s a conflict of interest. I know you don’t want to answer.”
Always follow the money.
CONTEXT: USDA’s own study found soft drinks were the #1 purchase in SNAP households, beating milk, ground beef, and everything else in the store.
Watch the moment Democrat Harris County, Texas Treasurer Carla Wyatt appeared to cause a car crash while swerving through lanes of traffic.
She allegedly continued on after the initial impact and caused ANOTHER crash with two more cars.
She also has prior charges for DWI and burglary.
She just WON her re-election.
@Jason2bartlett State prosecutors stated in the Ventersdorp Magistrate's Court that the crime was a calculated ambush. The suspects cut through an electric fence, bound a farmworker, and waited for Marx to return home after his wife left for work.
At the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month, we remember 🌺
We honour the brave men and women who gave their lives in service, and the countless animals who stood beside them through the horrors of war.
From the battlefields of the past to the conflicts still raging today, their courage, loyalty and sacrifice must never be forgotten.
For those who never came home, whether on two legs, four legs or wings, we remember you.
❤️💜 Lest We Forget
Sandra Birchmore’s long time therapist, Dr. Diala Alkhalil, spoke to @CBSNews last night.
After Sandra’s death, she called NCDAO to tell them her concerns.
They brushed her off and told her,
“It was a suicide.”
I hope she knows that many people appreciate what she did by speaking out for Sandra, and recognize the courage it took.
Also, Djuna Perkins says she plans on opening an investigative grand jury to look into the Stoughton Police Youth Explorers.
