If monarch butterflies when extinct there would be a major collapse in insect biodiversity resulting in multiple ecosystems being disrupted which affects ALL species, including humans. Monarch butterflies are pollinators and help supply environments with clean air and maintain healthy habitats. They are an important part of our food ecosystem.

Not to mention they are also very culturally significant to Mexico and represent the souls of departed loved ones during the Day of the Dead festival. Their migration starts the holiday when they return to Día de Muertos. They are environmentally and culturally extremely significant for North America.

With the wave of data centers being built that are going to destroy so much nature and cause so much pollution, I couldn’t think of a better time to protect these species.

For the first time since 1984, both the men’s and women’s Roland Garros singles finals will feature both the world #1 and world #2.

Jannik Sinner vs Carlos Alcaraz.

Aryna Sabalenka vs Coco Gauff.

We’re in for two very exciting matches.

No disrespect to whoever gets the MVP trophy after the game today.

Jameis Winston was the real Super Bowl MVP this week.

I mean this sincerely, @FlavorFlav has showed so much enthusiasm, respect, and compassion for the women Olympians that it makes me emotional. These athletes work so hard and deserve to have someone championing them like he has over the past two weeks.

So, I spoke to people getting food at a food bank and here are some things I learned from those in need:
1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks.
2. Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of.
3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles.
4. They cannot eat all the awesome canned veggies and soup unless you put a can opener in too or buy pop tops.
5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni which they also get a lot of.
6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift.
7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care.
8. Sugar and flour are treats.
9. They fawn over fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores.
10. Seeds are cool in Spring and Summer because growing can be easy for some.
11. They rarely get fresh meat.
12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch.
13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef.
14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but usually not sandwich bread.
15. Butter or margarine is nice too.
16. Eggs are a real commodity.
17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake.
18. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated.
19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over that.
20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing.

In all the years I have donated food at the Holidays, I bought what I thought they wanted, but have never asked. I am glad I did. If you are helping a Family this Christmas, maybe this can help you tailor it more. It does for me!

Just had the best time in Denver!! And we got to be the first tour to play in that stadium 2 nights 😝 It’s really hitting me that we only have 3 cities left on the US Eras Tour. This has been my favorite adventure of all. I appreciate and cherish every second of it. See you 🔜 Seattle!!

Anthony Bourdain said: "Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Have a negroni. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways. Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself. Enjoy the ride." (Ht Jamieson Faulcon)
