Are you ready to go back to this: Sitting in an airport restaurant & couple next to us talking about the midterms. The woman works for a local county. The man tells her at work she should blame everything on Trump & says if anyone supports him/the Admin she should tell them “they will not get a work permit for three months”. She says she cannot do that & he responds: “if we get the right result on November 3rd we’ll be rid of all these people”. That is what you are voting against. If you don’t vote the way they want, they will punish you any way they can.

This is the video I posted a couple weeks ago that saved me. Please, if you have any of these symptoms, go to the hospital. Don’t wait for appointments. Time is precious when it’s a stroke.
Love you all SO MUCH!!

You are not a machine. You’re a soul who needs music, books, connection, sunsets, laughter, and small pockets of joy. Prioritize them like your life depends on it, because it does. Life isn’t meant to be a cycle of stress and survival. Pause. Look up. Let the sunset remind you: you’re here to live, not just to hustle. Life is not a to-do list. It’s a gift. Walk slower. Hug longer. Laugh louder. Love deeper. The clock may be ticking, but your presence is timeless. We’ve been conditioned to believe that constant productivity equals worth, but humans weren’t designed for endless output. We need moments of wonder, connection, and rest, not as rewards for hard work, but as essential ingredients for a meaningful life.

Last Friday the City of Los Angeles quietly dismissed its cross-complaint against the State of California in the Palisades Fire Litigation. Today, Newsom endorsed Bass. Did Bass just throw the taxpayers under the bus by dismissing the City's legal ability to seek indemnity from the State for billions of dollars in damages in exchange for the Governor's last minute endorsement? @spencerpratt @joelpollak @JeremyCom @Hotshot_Movie @LeonardFiles

A new nasal spray reversed signs of brain aging and restored memory performance in preclinical trials, and it worked in just weeks.

Scientists at Texas A&M University have unveiled an experimental nasal spray that appears to reverse key markers of brain aging. The therapy targets neuroinflammaging, the chronic, low-level inflammation deep in the brain’s memory center that slowly degrades cognitive function and increases the risk for conditions like Alzheimer’s disease. By delivering microscopic biological packages known as extracellular vesicles directly into the nasal passages, the treatment bypasses the blood-brain barrier without requiring surgical or invasive procedures .

In preclinical trials, just two doses spaced two weeks apart produced results within weeks, calming hyperactive immune cells, restoring neuronal cellular energy, and boosting memory performance for several months. While human clinical trials are still needed to confirm these findings in patients, the observations indicate that age-related mental decline may not be an irreversible fate. Researchers hope this accessible approach could one day offer a simple, non-invasive alternative to complex neurological treatments and prolonged medications.

🚨BREAKING: A 13-year-old orphaned girl told staff she felt unsafe, but her request to move was DENIED. JK Rowling just offered to pay for her day in court.

A 13-year-old orphaned girl, the only female in the unit and with no criminal record, was placed at St Mary's Kenmure in Glasgow alongside 11 boys aged 15-17, all teenage offenders. She told staff she felt unsafe and requested to move to an empty houseblock, but her request was denied.

The situation was documented by the Council of Europe's committee for the prevention of torture following an inspection.

JK Rowling responded strongly, offering to pay for the girl's day in court. She wrote: Who does it hurt if we make every space mixed-sex? This is who it hurts: the most vulnerable, those without power and influence, the invisible people politicians don't bother to consider when chasing likes and photo ops.

Huge win for the Supremacy Clause. California continues to violate the U.S. Constitution, and we will continue to hold them accountable.

Dear GOD, restore the parts of me that disappeared while I was trying to survive. Bring back my laughter, hope, creativity, tenderness, and excitement about life. I don’t want to merely function anymore; I want to feel alive again. Amen.

Yesterday, I brought $3 gas to Crenshaw.

Hundreds of cars lined up, and I heard so many stories from people struggling to make ends meet. People desperately need relief.

In the evening, I came over to a Democrats apartment and cooked them dinner.

I heard their concerns, talked through my plans and policies, and discussed how we can make California better for everybody.

Republican, Democrat, Independent—we’re all in this together.

We all need $3 gas.
We all need $73 car registration.
We all need our electricity bills cut in half.
We could all use no state income tax on our first $150K.

You don’t have to change your party- just vote for Steve Hilton for change.

Want me to come over for dinner or bring $3 gas to your town? Check the link in my bio and submit your request! Check my plans and policies while you’re there and VOTE for Steve Hilton! VOTE for change!

There are 1 million sidelined and underemployed tech workers who cannot say shit about what is happening to them openly, because they will be blacklisted from any hope of re-entering the field.

Josh is one of the few who has stepped into the light to tell you what he saw.

Follow the money. Then follow the lottery money that is supposed to go to the schools. Then follow the lunch program (Cafeteria Fund) subsidy money. Follow the General Fund Unrestricted account and the General Fund Restricted accounts. Follow the Capital Projects Fund. Look very hard at the Fiscal Services department.

I am in love with this passage:

"It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it. Life is long enough, and a sufficiently generous estimate has been given to us for the highest achievements if it were all well invested. But when it is squandered in luxury and carelessness, when it is devoted to no good end, forced at last by the ultimate necessity we perceive that it has passed away before we were aware that it was passing."

Twenty years ago I was drugged at a bar while studying abroad in Argentina. I ended up alone with a male classmate who sat next to me until sunrise while I slept it off in the booth of a 24hr diner.

Some men are beyond decent. It mattered a lot. Thanks, Devin.

Actor John C. McGinley proudly raised his son Max, who was born with Down syndrome in 1997, firing his agent who advised him to hide the diagnosis and instead making Max a visible, cherished part of his life and a catalyst for disability advocacy...

A reporter once asked him if he ever wished his son were “normal.” His answer was simple: Max was normal. The problem wasn't his son's condition—it was society's narrow definition of what "normal" is supposed to look like.

In 1997, actor John C. McGinley welcomed his son Max into the world. Shortly after Max was born with Down syndrome, John sat down with his talent agent to discuss his career. The agent offered a piece of advice meant to protect John’s Hollywood career. He suggested keeping the situation completely private, warning that studios might hesitate to hire him if he spoke out.

John looked at him and said, "You're fired."

Instead of hiding his family away, John chose complete openness. He took Max everywhere with him. They walked red carpets together, appeared on talk shows, visited movie sets, and attended public events side by side.

At a time when individuals with developmental disabilities were often kept out of public view, John made sure his son was visible. He introduced Max to the world with total pride, deep love, and no apologies.

What started as a father loving his child turned into decades of passionate advocacy. John became a leading voice for Down syndrome awareness.

He used his public platform to advocate for inclusion, fighting for equal opportunities so people with disabilities could work, contribute, and live meaningful independent lives.

During one public interview, a reporter asked John if he ever wished his son were normal. John did not hesitate. He replied that Max was normal, and that the question itself was what was flawed.

His response challenged the idea that human value depends on fitting into standard social expectations.

Years have passed since then, and Max has grown into an adult who works, participates in his community, and demonstrates what is possible when given a fair chance.

John often reflects on how his son shaped his perspective, stating that Max never held him back for a single moment. Through Max, he learned valuable lessons about patience, love, acceptance, and commitment.

When Max was born, the world suggested he should be tucked away out of sight. John spent decades making sure people saw him, heard him, and recognized his worth as a person.

Some parents protect their children by shielding them from the world. Others protect them by teaching the world to make room for them.

True inclusion begins when we stop seeing differences as limitations. Max didn’t need to change to belong. The world needed to change to include Max.

Looking back on every red carpet, film set, and quiet moment at home, John knows one thing for certain: Max was never a challenge to be overcome, but a gift to be cherished.

True love doesn't ask a child to fit the mold of the world; it reshapes the world so the child can shine exactly as they are.
