Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.
Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.
Now Virginia has a chance to help level the playing field. If you live in the Commonwealth, early voting begins March 6, and Election Day is on April 21. Vote YES.
The Quadratus Lumborum muscle is a notoriously tight & overactive muscle in people with low back pain.
Here is one of the best stretches that gives great relief while also addressing the underlying cause of why it’s tight:
It is literally cheaper to fly to China, stay in a 5-star hotel, get an MRI, and fly back than it is to get a scan in the US with insurance. Let that sink in.
Polish 26 year old guitar master Marcin Patrzałek respond to those who have made public comments claiming that his music is fake.
He made this video in a tutorial form showing how he manages to play so extraordinarily well in response. And yes, it's all played on one guitar.
Marjorie Taylor Greene says the effort to keep the Epstein files sealed came straight from Trump. Not a rumor, not a misunderstanding, not a media invention. According to her, he was the loudest, most relentless force pushing to bury them, and people can squirm about it all they want. Facts do not care about their loyalty rituals.

🚨 BREAKING: Marjorie Taylor Greene just admitted the Epstein files were blocked by Donald Trump himself.
“He fought the hardest to STOP these files from being released.”
Not Democrats. Not the DOJ. Not “the deep state.”
Trump.
Rogan: Why would your name be redacted if you are not a victim? None of this is good for this administration. It looks terrible. It looks terrible for Trump when he was saying it was all a hoax. It is not a hoax
Most people with squished toes and bunions from wearing narrow toe box shoes are told that switching to a wider toe box shoe will fix their issues.
This isn’t always true.
While it’s helpful, we also need to re-train better mechanics to the foot, which is a step most miss 👇
Goldman: Despite the shameful and despicable efforts by Bondi and her department to intimidate you, how many of you are still willing to speak to the DOJ? All of them. Well, miss Bondi, it looks like you have some more witnesses.
Yvon Chouinard, the founder of Patagonia, has made the planet itself the sole beneficiary and effective "shareholder" of his company.
In an extraordinary move that redefined corporate ownership, Chouinard transferred full control of the $3 billion outdoor apparel brand away from his family. He placed 100% of the company into a carefully designed structure consisting of a trust and a nonprofit organization, both dedicated to combating the climate crisis and protecting the natural world.
Under this new arrangement, the Chouinard family gave up any claim to personal profits. Instead, all earnings not reinvested in growing the business—roughly $100 million each year—now flow directly to environmental causes, funding the preservation of wild lands, conservation efforts, and initiatives to fight climate change.
In essence, Patagonia now exists to serve Earth as its only true shareholder, placing planetary survival above the accumulation of private wealth.
The model has already delivered significant results. As of 2025, the company had channeled an additional $180 million into nature-protection projects. The structure relies on two key entities: the Patagonia Purpose Trust, which safeguards the company’s original mission and values, and the Holdfast Collective, a nonprofit that directs the profits toward high-impact environmental work.
Rather than selling the business to the highest bidder or taking it public, Chouinard chose this radical path—creating what many see as a groundbreaking template for purpose-driven capitalism. Patagonia has shown that a for-profit company can become a powerful force for ecological restoration while remaining financially successful.
