Racehorse wins debut — sparks backlash over name: ‘AUSTRIAN PAINTER’
Owner argued name had nothing to do with Hitler and honored Gustav Klimt
But when it was revealed he previously submitted ‘MY STRUGGLE’ and ‘BRAUNAU STAR,’ Jockey Club became doubtful
He is now ‘MERRYLEGS’
One of the cheapest cold-prevention interventions I’ve seen:
Gargling with plain water 3x/day reduced upper respiratory infections by ~36% in a randomized trial.
🇺🇸🇮🇱⚡️- Left wing jews are celebrating GOP Governor of Arkansas Sarah Huckabee Sanders new ad painting young White male gamers as "welfare queens".
In reality able bodied White men between 18-30 are around 2% of food stamp or Medicaid recipients.
🇺🇸⚡- Despite Candace’s relentless aims at the “Epstein class” and other conspiracies concerning Israel— she took money from Benjamin Netanyahu’s close confidant, Oracle’s Larry Ellison, in early 2025. Ellison, who has purchased an enormous amount of media, most notably CBS, HBO, Paramount, and TikTok, is also a mega-donor to the Israeli Defense Forces. Owens had a multi-million-dollar deal to promote Oracle’s products on her YouTube page. Then, around six months later, in August 2025, she began bashing Oracle and deleted all evidence that she had ever promoted it or made money from it.
🇺🇸⚡️- Despite Milo Yiannopoulos having attacked and threatened Candace Owens in the past, including Milo claiming he has a lesbian sex tape of Owens, he has been on Candace's podcast twice since, and has been routinely cited by Owens on her show; likely indicating a blackmail situation between the two.
Milo has routinely lied about accusations against other influencers, however his accusations against Candace are corroborated by evidence of her lesbian dating profiles, sexual deviancy, and other tabloid posts alluding to Owens' history.
Milo's allegations also tie into George Farmer, Owens' husband, and his sexuality.
🇺🇸⚡️- Owens, who used a few online monikers, combined her first, middle, and last name with her birthday into similar names: Candamo429, Cdot429, CdotAmber, and CdotAmber429. Well, except for her other usernames: LickyouinRI, collegefuck5, and Letmelickyou13. Owens expressed her fervent interest in “licking” on various websites, including an account she logged into in 2022 while married with children. Further evidence shows that the IP address linked to the accounts matched her university in Rhode Island. In addition, she signed up using her school e-mail.
Peter Thiel publicly doubts that any Republican, including J.D. Vance, can win in 2028.
Election odds have Vance leading 21 to AOC's 13 percent.

Light exposure at night may affect more than sleep.
In UK Biobank, 11,071 adults wore wrist light sensors for one week and later underwent cardiac MRI. Compared with darkness, exposure above 3 lux was associated with greater heart-muscle mass, thicker ventricular walls, and slightly weaker contraction.
A separate analysis followed 73,286 adults for 8 to 10 years. Those with the brightest nighttime exposure had a 29% higher risk of heart failure, alongside higher rates of stroke, heart attack, atrial fibrillation, and cardiovascular death.
Shorter sleep statistically explained part of these associations, but not all of them. That does not prove nighttime light directly damaged the heart. People exposed to more light may also differ in shift work, health, housing, or other behaviors.
Still, a darker bedroom is a low-cost intervention with benefits for sleep and a plausible cardiovascular upside. Block exterior light, cover bright electronics, and keep nighttime lighting dim.

Thirty minutes of evening cycling helped protect memory after a short night of sleep.
In this trial, 88 healthy young adults either cycled moderately for 30 minutes at 7 p.m. or remained seated. They later learned 80 face-name pairs before receiving either an 8.5-hour or 4.5-hour sleep opportunity.
After the shortened night, participants who had cycled recalled more than those who had rested. Their performance was comparable to the groups given 8.5 hours in bed.
The model suggested that slow-wave sleep helped account for the memory advantage. In plain language, cycling may have changed the structure of sleep in a way that helped preserve recall.
Statistical mediation supports that pathway, but it does not prove the mechanism.
This was one night in healthy young adults. Exercise may buffer some effects of acute sleep restriction, but it does not replace sufficient sleep.
Not all TV is created equal.
Just 9 minutes of SpongeBob was enough for 4-year-olds to perform worse on tests of executive function and self-control.
Kids who watched Caillou or spent the time drawing performed better.
Minecraft also boosted creative performance compared with watching TV or playing a racing game.
Interestingly, the benefit disappeared when players were told to “be creative.”
