Daycare calls me. That's never good.
For them.
Daycare: "your son hurt his elbow and won't move his arm. Can you come take him to a doctor's office?"
Me (ex Special Forces Medic): "A real doctor is on the way to you now. I am 6 mikes out. Alert me of status changes."
I arrive at daycare. I locate the patient. 21 month old male. Scene is not safe. I drag the patient to cover and concealment behind a seesaw, away from the other small terrorists in the AO.
I begin my assessment. Blood sweep negative for massive hemorrhage. Mental status: conscious and verbal but confused (answers "dada" when asked for blood type). One breath every 2 seconds. Bilateral rise and fall of the chest. Strong carotid pulse, strong bilat radial pulse.
Teeth and tongue intact no blood no mucus no dip or foreign objects. Eyes PERRLA, negative JVD/trach deviation, C-spine intact upon palpation.
Heart sounds strong upon auscultation. Percussion negative for hemo-T. Abdominal quads normal upon palpation. Pelvis negative for book sign.
Arms and legs negative for crepitus. However, Patient indicates discomfort in right arm upon palpation and supination/flexion of the elbow.
Nursemaid's elbow.
I begin interventions. Supination/flexion technique complete at 1215. Palpable clunk on successful reduction. I write the time on his chest in Sharpie. I tape a popsicle to his hand and tell the patient to suck but do not bite/chew. I write "1 x popsicle (10g sugar)" on his chest in Sharpie.
I reassess the patient after performing interventions then package the patient for handoff to daycare/higher level of care. I yell at daycare over the Blackhawk in my head: "21 month old male!!! Nursemaids elbow!!! Treated with supination/flexion technique at 1215!!! Patient has 1 x popsicle onboard!!"
Daycare: "sir please leave."
Me: "you should have called my wife."
Why You Don’t Shoot For The Head In Self-Defense:
There’s a clip going around of a guy at the range drawing from concealment and putting fast rounds on target.
Then a cop standing behind him says, “Yeah… but mine were all headshots.”
And that comment exposes one of the biggest misunderstandings people have about self-defense shooting.
Headshots are not the flex people think they are.
Anybody can hit a head if you give them enough time. But self-defense is not about taking your time and stacking perfect holes on a paper target.
It’s about stopping a threat as fast as humanly possible.
So I put it on a timer.
Headshots vs. center mass.
At close distance, the headshots were slower and messier. At ten yards, pushing for the head caused rounds to come completely off target.
And in real life, a miss is not just a miss.
It’s a wall.
A car.
A house.
Or an innocent person who had nothing to do with the fight.
That’s why responsible self-defense training focuses on acceptable accuracy, combat accuracy, and putting fast, effective hits into the area most likely to stop the threat.
The goal is not to kill.
The goal is to stop the threat and go home.

Stray cats were seen riding capybaras in Panama, after locals said the city had pushed them too far.
For months, people near the river noticed something strange happening to the stray cats that used to roam the streets.
They weren’t hanging around the alleys as much anymore. They were disappearing toward the river.
At first, locals thought the cats had simply run away and decided to live closer to the water. But soon, photographers and researchers noticed the truth was stranger than anyone expected.
The cats had found shelter with the capybaras.
They weren’t just following them around. Kittens were seen sleeping beside the capybaras, older cats stayed close to the group, and some were even captured riding on their backs.
The ironic part is that cats are known for hating water, but the capybaras seemed to let them climb on top while they crossed the river, carrying them from one side to the other like it was normal.
Nobody knows exactly when it started, but many believe the cats found safety with the capybaras after being pushed away from the city.
A YouTuber with 110 million subscribers released a free version of ChatGPT.
His name is Felix Kjellberg. You know him as PewDiePie.
He spent his own money on a 10-GPU computer at home. He used it to run the same kind of AI models that power ChatGPT, but on his own hardware. Then he wrote his own app to chat with them, because the apps that already exist were not good enough.
Then he gave it away for free. Anyone can download it. Anyone can change it. Anyone can run it.
It's called Odysseus.
It runs on your computer. Your data stays on your disk. No account. No tracking. No monthly fee.
What you get:
- A chat window like ChatGPT
- An AI assistant that can browse the web, read your files, and do tasks for you
- A tool that scans your computer and tells you which AI models will work on it
- A research mode that reads many websites and writes you a report
- A side-by-side mode to test two AI models on the same question
- A writing editor where AI helps you, instead of writing for you
- Memory, so the AI remembers your past chats
- Email with AI that sorts your inbox and writes replies for you
- Notes, a to-do list, and a calendar
- Works on your phone too
23,612 stars on GitHub in 2 days. Top of trending all weekend.
ChatGPT Plus costs $20 a month. Claude Pro costs $20 a month. PewDiePie's version costs nothing, runs on your own computer, and the code is open for anyone to read.
This is what AI looked like before the subscription model.

Recent research challenges the long-held belief that cannabis lowers testosterone levels in men, a notion largely based on a small 1974 study involving only 20 participants.
A new Swiss study provides a more comprehensive view. Researchers from the University of Geneva analyzed blood samples from 94 young men aged 18–23 (47 regular cannabis users and 47 non-users) and measured a broad panel of 70 steroid hormones using advanced mass spectrometry.
Contrary to earlier assumptions, cannabis users showed approximately 23% higher testosterone levels compared to non-users. They also had elevated concentrations of androstenedione (a testosterone precursor) and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a potent androgen. The increases appear to originate primarily from the testes rather than the adrenal glands, as adrenal androgens showed little change.
The study also identified higher levels of two progesterone-related compounds in cannabis users, with one showing a correlation with THC blood concentrations. These findings suggest that cannabis may selectively influence specific endocrine pathways.
Importantly, the researchers caution that higher testosterone alone does not necessarily translate to improved fertility or overall male reproductive health. Sperm parameters, motility, morphology, and other regulatory hormones were not directly assessed in this snapshot analysis, and brain-level signals controlling testosterone production showed no clear differences.

Finnish scientists trucked in real forest dirt and grass and laid it over the gravel at four daycare yards. They let the kids dig around in it for a month. The blood tests came back with changes the researchers hadn’t expected to see so fast or so clear.
The study ran at ten daycares in two Finnish cities with 75 kids aged three to five. Four of the yards got the forest treatment: about a tennis court worth of soil and grass laid over the gravel, plus planters and peat blocks the kids could dig and climb on. Three others stuck with their normal gravel yards. The last three were daycares where the kids were already visiting real forests every day.
After one month, the variety of bacteria living on the kids’ skin shot up, and the kind that helps train the skin’s immune defenses jumped the most. Their gut bacteria started to look like the gut bacteria of the forest-visiting kids. Their blood showed more of the immune cells whose job is to keep the body from freaking out at harmless stuff like pollen and peanuts, and overall inflammation dropped. The kids on the plain gravel yards showed none of this.
Childhood asthma in the US doubled between 1980 and 1995. Food allergies in kids jumped 50 percent between 1997 and 2011, then jumped another 50 percent between 2007 and 2021. And peanut allergies in one-year-olds tripled between 2001 and 2017.
The Finnish researchers think one of the reasons is simple: kids today don’t get dirty enough. 37 percent of American preschoolers now spend an hour or less outside on a normal weekday. Their immune systems are getting trained in environments stripped of the bacteria humans have always lived around.
Aki Sinkkonen, who led the study, put it in plain words: “It would be best if children could play in puddles and everyone could dig organic soil.” The Finnish government is now helping pay for daycares across the country to make the same changes.
