I asked a med doctor today:
If HIV was transmitted through sex, who infected it to the very first person since no one had it before?
And he explained. 🧵
1. HIV didn’t originate in humans, it was evolved from SIV (Simian Immunodeficiency Virus), a virus found in nonhuman primates, including chimpanzees. it didn’t originate in humans, At some point in history, the virus crossed from primates into humans.
It's hard to believe this is the same girl.
Sadie Sink went from the young girl we watched grow up on Stranger Things to a young woman who commands attention on screen. Seeing these two photos side by side makes it even more remarkable to realize how much time has passed.
This scene got me asking…
I thought it was a grab and move situation. Why the hell did 15 stop to observe the environment when he could have just picked up the armor and run back to the truck.
His sacrifice only save them a few moment. Not all of them made it out alive.

I got a text from my daughter's daycare that said, "Your daughter is fine, but please call us when you get a chance."
There is no combination of those words that lets a parent breathe normally. *"Your daughter is fine BUT" is not a reassuring sentence.
I called immediately.
Three rings.
"Sunshine Sprouts, this is Melissa."
"This is Karen Holt. Lily's mom. I got a text"
"Oh, Mrs. Holt. Yes. Thank you for calling back so quickly. Everything is okay, we just wanted to let you know that Lily had a bit of a scare at lunch today. Another child accidentally knocked her off the bench. She bumped her head. She cried for a few minutes but she's been completely fine since. Laughing, playing. We iced it as a precaution."
Every night at 9, my rescue dog Biscuit slipped out through the gap in the back fence and came home at 10 with muddy paws.
I'd had him two months. I decided he was running away from me.
So one night I followed him.
He trotted six streets, past the shops, and squeezed through a hole in the hedge at Maple Court care home. He crossed the garden to a ground-floor window with a light on and sat down, staring up.
The window opened. A tiny woman in a pink cardigan whispered, "There's my good boy."
I stood frozen in the dark.
Laura and I lived together for two years. We got along fine until she started treating my clothes like hers. She used my shirt as a cleaning rag and turned my skirt into a pillowcase. Whenever I complained, she laughed and said I was making a big deal out of nothing.
One evening, I was cooking when the pot got too hot to handle. I grabbed the nearest piece of fabric, which happened to be her white dress.
She was furious.
“I didn’t know it was yours,” I said, laughing.
She never touched my things again.
My only regret? Not using it to clean the oven.
🚨💣BREAKING: Manchester United’s planned Amazon Prime All or Nothing documentary is reportedly edging towards cancellation following an embarrassing start to the season:
The United board, with the backing of the Glazers and manager Michael Carrick, is understood to be moving closer to an agreement with Amazon to cancel or postpone the production, whose first season was scheduled to air in summer 2027. Cameras have already been recording the campaign, but mounting concerns over what the series would expose have prompted a rethink.
United’s season began with a humiliating defeat to newly promoted Hull, followed by further setbacks, including conceding a last-minute equaliser against Everton and losing to a Manchester City side reduced to ten men. They then surrendered a two-goal lead to lose against Brighton before suffering another defeat to Atlético Madrid in the Champions League. Conceding after just two minutes against Como added to the embarrassment, with United now winless in their last six matches. A documentary intended to capture progress has instead become a rolling account of a campaign unravelling.
The problems extend beyond results. JJ Gabriel’s request to leave, Bruno Fernandes publicly questioning the coaching tactics, and Lisandro Martínez calling out the club hierarchy and sporting director over United’s ambitions have heightened concerns about the documentary’s impact.
Broadcasting those tensions to a global audience would paint a damaging picture of a club divided between its players, coaching staff and leadership. Senior figures reportedly fear the series could undermine Carrick’s authority and intensify scrutiny of the ownership, with discussions now focused on whether postponing the release would offer breathing room or cancelling the project entirely would better protect the club’s reputation. #MUFC
My girlfriend is a dentist, and two days ago she told me about a male patient who refused to let her treat him.
He came in with severe tooth pain, but when he realised it was a woman, he asked if a male dentist could see him instead.
She told him another dentist was available, but he would have to wait longer for an appointment.
He said he didn’t mind waiting.
Yesterday, he returned. The pain had become unbearable, and he finally agreed to let her treat him.
Before starting, my girlfriend asked him why he had been so determined to avoid a female dentist.
Could an Air Nomad Avatar like Aang experience the Avatar State differently because of his spiritual upbringing, or does the Avatar Spirit make the experience the same for every Avatar, regardless of their nation or cultural background
Merab checking the Stake app and immediately asking “WHO DID THIS?” is the most accurate reaction to boosted odds on him for UFC 333. The Machine is locked in for the rematch with Yan and the odds just got even more disrespectful. Let’s see if he cashes it.
