"If you’ve ever had a (move back in with your parents phase), yet you hate on homeless people, you may need to reevaluate yourself, because the only difference between them and you is, you had someone to catch you when you fell." - Mohamad Safa
SNAP’s fraud rate is less than 2%. Whereas the pentagon hasn’t passed a single audit and can’t account for over $3 trillion dollars. But fuck the starving kids. Am I right
Do you understand how racist a person must be to remove free access to National Parks on holidays honoring Black people while making it free on his birthday????
With his son’s mom out of town, this man took his son to school and later surprised him at his school's Thanksgiving lunch. When the son saw his dad, he jumped into his arms, thrilled, introducing him to everyone. This healed parts of this dad’s heart, growing up without his dad, despite his grandpa's presence, left him broken. He moved to Tennessee where he had no one to be there for his son. Dads, be present; it makes all the difference.🥺❤️.
Keith Lee has hundreds of big and small businesses lined up in his comments after he created a challenge for them to help families in need during the holiday season, with SNAP benefits being cut—this is real motion.
Chinese scientists have developed a revolutionary medical adhesive, nicknamed “bone glue”, that can repair fractures in just three minutes without the need for surgery, screws, or metal plates. The product, called Bone-02, was inspired by the natural adhesive properties of oysters. Unlike conventional methods that require drilling, implants, or long healing times, this glue is injected directly into the fracture site, where it rapidly bonds the broken pieces together, even in moist or blood-rich environments. Early results suggest the adhesive can hold with remarkable strength, withstanding more than 400 pounds of force, and providing compressive and shear strength similar to natural bone.
The glue is also bioabsorbable, meaning it dissolves harmlessly inside the body over time as the natural healing process takes over. This reduces the risk of complications like infections, implant rejection, or the need for additional surgeries to remove hardware. Researchers report that the glue has already been used successfully in more than 150 patients, demonstrating both safety and effectiveness. Surgeons involved noted faster recovery times, reduced operating room hours, and lower costs compared to traditional fixation techniques.
The innovation comes from a research team led by Lin Xianfeng at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital in Zhejiang, China, and represents a major leap forward in trauma medicine and orthopedics. By replacing screws and plates with a quick, non-invasive adhesive, the technology could transform how fractures—particularly those in elderly or osteoporotic patients—are treated worldwide. If clinical trials continue to show strong outcomes, this glue could reduce the burden on hospitals, shorten rehabilitation periods for patients, and potentially set a new standard for bone repair treatments.
A 5-year-old girl from Louisiana, Cloe Woods, is being celebrated as a hero after saving her blind grandmother and the family dog during a house fire. The fire broke out in their home when a faulty stove pilot light ignited, filling the house with smoke and flames. Despite her young age, Cloe remained calm and used fire safety training she had learned during a school field trip to guide her grandmother to safety.
When the fire erupted, Cloe quickly woke her grandmother and insisted that they leave immediately. Her grandmother initially tried to find her shoes, but Cloe urged her not to waste time. Instead, she had her grandmother place her hands on her shoulders, and together they carefully made their way out of the burning home. Cloe also made sure their dog escaped, ensuring that the entire family was safe.
Neighbors called emergency services, and the fire was eventually contained, but it was Cloe’s quick thinking that prevented what could have been a tragic outcome. Her bravery has since drawn widespread recognition, with many praising her courage, presence of mind, and the life-saving impact of early fire safety education.
