🚨BREAKING: After 6 months in office, Zohran Mandani has consistently proved that if your politicians wanted to help you, they absolutely could.

cashier at the thrift store asked if I was okay because I'd been holding the same ceramic rooster for fifteen minutes.
Me: I'm deciding.
Her: On a rooster?
Me: It's complicated.
Her: It's $3.
Me: It's not about the money.
Her: Then what?
Me: My mom collected these. She died last year.
Her: Oh.
Me: I gave away all her roosters because they reminded me of her and it hurt. Now I miss them.
Her: So buy this one.
Me: What if I regret it?
Her: It's $3. Regret something bigger.
Me: That's fair.
Her: You want it or not?
Me: Yeah.
Bought the rooster.
Put it on my kitchen counter.
Cried a little.
Felt better.
Went back the next week.
Found another rooster.
Bought it.
The cashier smiled.
Her: Starting a collection?
Me: Maybe.
Her: Your mom would like that.
Me: Yeah. She would.
Have six roosters now.
Every single one from that thrift store.
The cashier texts me when new ones come in.
Her: Got a green one today.
Me: Save it for me.
Healing looks like buying ceramic roosters from someone who remembers your story.

Segundo a lenda, em uma cidade francesa durante a Idade Média, as mulheres realizavam um hábito curioso.

De manhã, as mulheres casadas adicionavam uma pequena quantidade de veneno no café da manhã de seus maridos, que mais tarde recebiam o antídoto quando voltavam para casa à noite.

Isso garantia que o veneno não os prejudicasse e não tivesse efeitos negativos.

A prática tinha um propósito específico: se os maridos demorassem em retornar para casa, os sintomas como náuseas, dores de cabeça, depressão, vômitos, dores ou falta de ar apareceriam devido ao atraso na administração do antídoto.

Quanto mais tempo o homem passasse longe de casa, mais doente ele ficaria. Ao retornar para casa, a esposa inadvertidamente administrava o antídoto, fazendo com que ele se sentisse melhor rapidamente.

Esse truque dava a impressão de que ficar longe de casa causaria desconforto e levava os maridos a se apegarem mais às suas casas e esposas.

Los pandas son la mayor prueba de que el "pretty privilege" es real. Hubo una campaña enorme para salvarlos cuando ellos-siendo omnívoros- devoran sólo bambú que no les da las calorías suficientes para vivir. Y no les interesa aparearse.

A Washington state prison, some years ago, allowed well-behaving prisoners to own a homeless animal that was going to be euthanized otherwise.

As a result, the prisoners became nicer and calmer. Convicts even worked harder to get toys for their pets.

Mamdani taxed the rich and suddenly libraries work, potholes get fixed, childcare exists, and workers get paid more.
That's why billionaires are losing it and want him gone!!!

I wanted to joke about this but Karmina’s question solicited a one word admission from Dela Rosa that should convince you that he isn’t worthy of being a PH senator.

HE ADMITTED THAT HE IS RUNNING AWAY FROM JUSTICE.

PabloReports: Ted Cruz called you a parasite and disparaged your work as a bartender.

AOC: It’s not a secret the disdain Ted Cruz has for people who work working-class jobs. It’s not a secret what he thinks of the waitresses, the line cooks—he thinks we’re less than him. He thinks that because he has a Harvard degree and has never scrubbed a table that it makes him better than someone who has actually had to work for a living.

I think it’s funny that he’s been taking a government paycheck for 23 years but has the audacity to criticize someone who has come from a family that had to work their way up and earn their place here.

A 17-year-old in Iowa boiled beets in her chemistry class and turned them into stitches that change color when your wound gets infected. Her name is Dasia Taylor. It started as a science fair project.

She wanted a low-tech version of the "smart stitches" Tufts researchers built in 2016. Those used thread wired up with sensors and a tiny chip that pinged your phone if something went wrong. Cool, but useless without a phone or a hospital that can afford it.

Her version doesn't need any of that. Healthy skin is slightly acidic, like lemon juice but much milder. When bacteria grow in a wound, the chemistry flips and turns more like soap or baking soda.

Beet juice has a quirk. The same red pigment that stains your fingers when you cook it shifts color based on what it touches. Bright red on healthy skin. Dark purple on infected skin. The switch lines up with infection almost exactly.

She tested ten threads before finding a cotton-polyester blend that soaked up the dye and changed color within five minutes. That was the prototype.

Around 1 in 40 American surgeries end in an infection at the cut, costing hospitals more than $3 billion a year. In poorer countries the rate is closer to 1 in 9. In parts of Africa it's 1 in 6. In some Ethiopian hospitals, up to a quarter of surgery patients leave with an infection.

The whole game is catching it early. Spot it in time and antibiotics handle it. Miss the window and the patient is back on the operating table.

Dasia filed a patent in 2021 and started a medical device company called VariegateHealth in 2022. The stitches haven't been tested on real patients yet. New medical device patents can take a decade. She's also looking into a side benefit: the beet pigment kills bugs like E. coli and Klebsiella in lab tests.

Smart stitches need a phone to read them. Hers just need eyes.
