holy crap this is easily the best Tony Award speech of the entire night. hell yes to all of this
"This is dedicated to the beautiful tapestry of immigrant families who make this country really special. May you one day not have to audition for the empathy that should be freely given by this country that benefits from your beauty. To the queer and trans communities that always will exist, no matter what people in power try to take away from them. To the people of Palestine who deserve to live a free life – a full life – without occupation. ... If there's one thing we can learn from vampires, it's that life is short, but that's its gift. Find beauty in the ephemeral and gratitude in what is not promised."
—Ali Louis Bourzgui, winning Featured Actor in a Musical for The Lost Boys

🚨 TOP DOCTOR WARNS HOW TO SURVIVE HANTAVIRUS — "38% WILL DIE FROM THIS DISEASE"
This resurfaced video from Charles Chiu, MD, PhD at UCSF, is going viral again as people connect it to the recent cruise ship outbreak.
According to him:
Hantavirus does not hit all at once.
It starts quietly, then flips fast.
• Can sit in your body for 1 to 5 weeks with no symptoms
• Begins like a normal flu with fever, fatigue, muscle aches
• Then escalates into cough and shortness of breath
• Can turn into life threatening pneumonia in days
• Roughly 38% fatality rate
But here is what is catching people off guard.
According to Charles Chiu, most hantavirus cases are not spread person to person.
You do not catch it from someone.
You breathe it in.
• Contaminated dust from rodent droppings
• Enclosed spaces like cabins, campsites, storage areas
• Particles you cannot see entering the air
But now the situation is shifting.
In the recent cruise ship outbreak, officials are looking at the Andes strain, one of the only known versions that has shown rare human to human transmission.
That is why the response escalated.
• Passengers treated as high risk contacts
• Close quarters raising concern
• Investigators tracing whether some cases spread between people
So now there are two layers to this.
The original exposure.
And what may happen after.
No warning.
No obvious contact.
One inhale in the wrong place.
And once symptoms hit, timing matters.
Early medical care can dramatically improve survival.
Wait too long and it can spiral fast.
Now people are rewatching this differently.
It is not only about where you have been.
It may also be about who you were around in the wrong environment.
Which is worse… a virus that spreads fast... or something you don’t even notice… until it’s already inside you?

Tom Brady: “You need coaches that push you outside your comfort zone because that’s how you grow and that’s how you develop self confidence and self esteem. They push you to deal with failure.”
One of the most impressive things happening in El Salvador right now is that they are literally renovating or building two new schools EVERY SINGLE DAY.
Bukele launched this last year, and the results are astonishing. They've done 624 schools so far, and there's a site to monitor progress for each school.
Many of the workers are non-violent criminals who once terrorized the same communities. Now they work to repay their debt & earn some time off their sentence.
President of El Salvador Nayib Bukele releases video showing the transformation of his country.
Since Bukele took office:
- Homicides plunged from 2,398 in 2019 to just 114 homicides in 2024.
- Murder rate is now 1.9 per 100,000 people, a historic low.
- In 2022, Bukele declared a state of exception and made over 85,000 arrests.
“Everything in life has a cost and the cost of being called authoritarian is too small to bother me much,” he once said.
