Help me reach my fundraising goal for the Belongathon! I'm raising money to support Canadians with disabilities right in their own community and create a physiotherapy room at a school in Kenya to support students with disabilities. https://t.co/LkQ0GuURi3 #Belongathon

@akafaceUS @grok what happened to the boy? Did he get help?

[Glen E. McGregor @glen_mcgregor]

This is the last post of 119,836 names of Canadian Armed Forces members who died while serving, bringing to an end @WeAreTheDead's online roll call that began on Remembrance Day 14 years ago. Thanks to everyone who followed.

In 1952, inside a New York City delivery room, a baby was born blue and silent. Doctors hesitated, unsure whether to keep trying. Then a calm voice broke through the panic.
“Let’s score the baby,” said Dr. Virginia Apgar.
That moment changed medicine forever.
Apgar had once dreamed of being a surgeon, but in the 1940s few women were allowed into the operating room. Told that no hospital would hire her, she turned to anesthesiology instead — a decision that would save millions of lives.
Working in Columbia-Presbyterian’s maternity ward, she saw newborns die within minutes of birth because doctors had no system to judge which babies needed help first. So one morning in 1952, she grabbed a pen and paper and designed a five-point test measuring heart rate, breathing, muscle tone, reflex response, and skin color. She called it the Apgar Score.
The idea spread faster than anyone expected. Within a decade, almost every hospital in America was using it. Infant mortality fell sharply. Doctors finally had a language for newborn care — and babies once thought lost were suddenly being saved.
Apgar never stopped pushing forward. She earned a public health degree, joined the March of Dimes, and became a global voice for mothers and infants. When asked how she had thrived in a man’s world, she laughed, “Women are like tea bags — they don’t know how strong they are until they’re in hot water.”
Dr. Virginia Apgar passed away in 1974, but her test still guides every delivery room on Earth. Every two seconds, somewhere in the world, a baby takes its first breath — and someone quietly calls out a number that honors the woman who refused to give up on newborns or on herself.

This Jewish girl escaped Hitler & deceived the Nazis by operating a fake German radio station in the UK.

Unbeknownst to them, her own parents were listening in to their daughter's deception operation.

This is the story of Brigitte Eisner & her WW2 work at Milton Bryan:

Trumps treatment of President Zelenskyy was one of the most disgraceful things we've ever seen

[The Kyiv Independent @KyivIndependent]

Trump and Vance have repeatedly claimed that Zelensky has not been sufficiently grateful for U.S. support throughout the war. We compiled instances where Zelensky has expressed gratitude to the U.S., its people, and its leadership. https://t.co/Z3xWDcc04k

[Ukraine / Україна @Ukraine]

Believe in Ukraine. Stand with Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine!

[Warren Kinsella @kinsellawarren]

Always. SLAVA UKRAINI

[Andrew Coyne 🇺🇦🇮🇱🇬🇪🇲🇩 @acoyne]

Never better display of Zelensky's courage than today. Never clearer that Trump/Vance are on the side of the Kremlin. Never more obvious that the democratic world must unite in defence of Ukraine, and in defiance of the United States.

@clintroenisch Mr Klunder was known as a great artist and a very kind man while he was in Corner Brook, NL. I’m sure he still is. Wish I could attend the opening.

[Philip Mould @philipmould]

Is this £2000 regional auction purchase just a pretty picture or a lost Canadian impressionist masterpiece? All will be revealed tonight on FakeorFortune?

[National Gallery of Art @ngadc]

For the very first time, Claude Monet’s “Impression, Sunrise”—the painting that gave the impressionist movement its name—is now in the United States.

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

I'm not crying, you are 😭 The emotion and pride Gus Walz displays tells us not only the kind of dad Tim Walz is, but also the quality of human being. The difference between Kamala Harris and Tim Walz — and Trump and JD Vance could not be more pronounced.
