Stevie Nicks reunited with Angela Bassett at the 2026 MET Gala in New York City last night:
“My sister witch, Voodoo Queen, how are you? You look beautiful!”
Abdul El-Sayed: “We spent $25B on this war in Iran nobody in the US asked for. We could eliminate all of the medical debt in the whole country for $2.5B. We could abolish the medical debt in this country 10x for what we spent on a war we should have never fought”
Immediately cutting communication with his best friend of 20+ years after learning of his sexual offenses……..denouncing Isr*el…….rolling a joint in less than 5 secs……..you aight white boy.

Well, when a child is conceived, the DNA split is 50/50 from both parents. Except for one small detail: mitochondrial DNA. It’s passed down only through the mother and never through sperm.
Which means something interesting: all living humans can trace their mitochondrial line back to one woman, not one man.
And every daughter born continues passing that same line forward.
Happy Women’s Day 💐
You mean trees. Trees which create the diversity of hundreds of thousands of species of animals that are also not found on any other planet and that we refuse to protect properly. 🌳
Most people see this and think “dogs are good for you.”
The actual mechanism is more interesting.
Three minutes of petting your dog triggers oxytocin release in both you and the animal. Your cortisol drops. Your heart rate decreases within an hour. This happens every single day you own a dog. Twice a day, three times a day.
The loop: physical touch → oxytocin release → HPA axis downregulation → lower cortisol → reduced neuroinflammation → preserved brain volume.
The study everyone’s referencing had only 95 participants, which is small. But it replicates. A longitudinal European study tracking adults 50+ over 18 years found pet ownership associated with slower decline in executive function and episodic memory. Baltimore Longitudinal Study data showed the same pattern across multiple cognitive tests.
Why dogs specifically? Cats showed similar effects. Fish and birds didn’t. The difference is tactile interaction frequency. Dogs demand contact. They interrupt your doom scrolling. They force you outside. Dog owners in the research showed higher physical activity levels, lower BMI, and lower incidence of hypertension.
The brain age gap in this chart isn’t about dogs being magical. It’s about dogs being a delivery mechanism for consistent nervous system regulation that most people fail to achieve on their own.
Human connection does the same thing. Most people just don’t have a human who wants to cuddle them twice a day and force them on walks.
i can’t begin to explain to you how amazing minnesotans are to brave this weather and demonstrate against the tyranny trump has brought to their neighborhoods.
This generation hides behind “I don't owe anyone anything” to avoid accountability. Yes, you do. You owe apologies to those you hurt. Gratitude to those who showed up. Respect to those you disrespected. That's not weakness, that's maturity.
