🎬Tom Cruise doesn’t do traditional screen tests. 😂😂😂😂
So when Ben Stiller needed to see him in the Les Grossman makeup for Tropic Thunder, they just rolled cameras on the first full look.
Cruise showed up, demanded “fat hands,” and then — with no music playing — launched into full hip-hop moves. Stiller said it was so unexpectedly funny they kept rolling. The next day Cruise himself cut the footage to a track and sent it back. That spontaneous test is the reason the dancing scene (and the end-credits sequence) even exists in the movie.
It’s one of those rare behind-the-scenes moments that shows how much of the final film came from pure improvisation and Cruise refusing to play it safe. The bald, foul-mouthed studio executive with the tiny legs and the killer dance moves almost didn’t happen the way we know him.
Did that makeup test change how you see
❓Cruise’s comedy range, or was Les Grossman already perfect in your head?🍿
Today, we took long-overdue action to restore science, accountability, and the rule of law.
In September 2023, the Biden FDA pushed a number of peptides into Category 2 — “Bulk Drug Substances that Raise Significant Safety Risks” — driving a dangerous black market that puts Americans at risk.
Now, after nominators withdrew 12 peptides, the FDA will remove them from Category 2 and will bring them to PCAC at its next two meetings, beginning in July—where independent experts will rigorously evaluate each substance on its scientific merits using full clinical, pharmacological, and safety evidence.
• BPC-157
• Thymosin beta-4 fragment (LKKTETQ)
• Epitalon
• GHK-Cu (injectable)
• MOTS-c
• DSIP (Emideltide)
• Dihexa Acetate
• Ibutamoren Mesylate
• Melanotan II
• KPV
• Semax (heptapeptide)
• Cathelicidin LL-37
This action begins to restore regulated access and will immediately begin shifting demand away from the black market.
We will follow the science, enforce the law, and deliver the clarity patients, providers, and pharmacies deserve.
Your parents are getting older at 75 and they haven’t told you how scared they are.
They are not dying, or becoming a problem, or of being the reason you’re stressed, the reason your money is tight, the reason your patience runs out. They watch you build your life and they quietly pray they are not in the way of it.
That silence you mistake for peace, it isn’t always peace. Sometimes it’s a 70-year-old man swallowing his needs because he doesn’t want to be a burden to the child he suffered to raise, sometimes it’s a 68-year-old woman who once moved mountains for her family, now unable to move without help, smiling so you don’t worry.
They have already grieved the version of themselves that was strong, they did that alone, quietly, at night.
What they have left is you.
Not your money, not your success, you. Your voice on the phone, your presence in the room, the way you look at them like they still matter, like they are not just a responsibility to manage but a person to love.
One day there will be no one left to call you by the name they gave you, in the voice that first said it, no one who remembers who you were before the world got to you.
That day is coming, you don’t know when.
So before it arrives, go home, sit down, put the phone away, let them talk.
The chair will empty, make sure you left nothing unsaid.
Goodnight
Today would have been my dad’s 74th birthday.
This season carries gravity. Father’s Day, his birthday, and the anniversary of his passing all fall within 60 days.
For me, grief has no straight path. It revisits, reshapes, and rises when I least expect it.
But alongside it lives a legacy built on generosity and kindness.
He made people feel seen. Gave permission to feel deeply and to laugh through pain. That mission continues.
To those carrying loss right now: you’re not alone.
Happy birthday, Dad. Love you forever.
As ultra-processed food has taken over our diets, and pharmaceutical profits have corrupted our healthcare system, this country has lost the most basic of all freedoms: the freedom that comes from being healthy. But right now, there’s a new American Revolution underway here at @HHSGov—to rebuild a food and medical system that is worthy of your trust.
I invite you to join the revolution by making healthy choices for yourself and your family. Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸
🇺🇸 KEVIN O’LEARY: THE LOWEST PAID PERSON WHO DESERVES MORE IS A GREAT TEACHER
"There are 110,000 high schools in America.
Our reading and math scores are the worst in the G7 and G20.
Why? Unions.
They protect mediocre teachers instead of firing them.
We should pay great teachers more and fire the ones who fail.
But unions keep mediocrity festering, destroying education."

The Democrats questioning Bobby Kennedy have not said the words “diabetes”, “obesity”, or “heart disease” once. All angry questions about vaccines.
We have a CHRONIC DISEASE epidemic.
If a politician gives a damn about children’s health, that is all we would be talking about.
