It doesn't matter how educated, talented, rich or cool you believe you are; how you treat people and animals ultimately tells all. Integrity is everything.
The Orangutan babies from the Twycross Zoo are a joy to watch. When they aren't trolling through the enclosure, they playfighting and today, a game of slapsies. Basuki is pulling his half-sister off the tree trunk. Kayan falls and does a roll. Then the fun of slapsies starts. Too funny!
The discovery of the remains of 215 Indigenous children found in an unmarked burial site at a former residential school in Kamloops, B.C., brought back a flood of emotion.
"It's been really, really traumatic," said North Peigan, from his home in Edmonton, Alta. His parents survived the residential school system but the years following the return to their community were marred by the scars unseen.
North Peigan and his siblings were taken from their home during the Sixties Scoop, a government policy that forcibly removed Indigenous children from their birth parents and sent to foster homes and other families for adoption.
North Peigan said he lived in a number of different foster homes and it wasn't until he aged out of the child welfare system in 1978 that he was able to return back to his first nation.
"I came home with a lot of anger and a lot of rage," said North Peigan, "because I blamed my mother -- that she wasn't able to keep our family together.
You might think that your problems will be solved once you get an adult autism diagnosis, but often this brings more problems - people simply not believing you.
Just 10 miles off the coast of Los Angeles lurks an environmental disaster over 70 years in the making, which few have ever heard about. That is, until now, thanks to the research of a University of California marine scientist named David Valentine.
Working with little more than rumors and a hunch, curiosity guided him 3,000 feet below the ocean's surface. A few hours of research time and an autonomous robotic submersible unearthed what had been hidden since the 1940s: countless barrels of toxic waste, laced with DDT, littering the ocean floor in between Long Beach and Catalina Island.
The fact that his underwater camera spotted dozens of decaying barrels immediately in what is otherwise a barren, desert-like sea floor, Valentine says, is evidence that the number of barrels is likely immense. Although the exact number is still unknown, a historical account estimates it may be as many as a half a million.
Jane Fonda calls on Hollywood to address inequality so all can be 'seen and heard' in powerful Golden Globes speech
Accepting the award, Fonda used the moment to address her "community of storytellers" who have long fought to share their art "in turbulent crisis" moments throughout history, not unlike the one the world is currently in.
"Stories can change our hearts and our minds, they can help us see each other in a new light, to have empathy, to recognize that, for all our diversity, we are humans first," she said. " The non-linear, non-cerebral forms that are art speak on a different frequency and generate a new energy that jolt us open and penetrate our defenses so we can see and hear what we may have been afraid of seeing and hearing."
She went on say there's "a story we've been afraid to see and hear about ourselves" in Hollywood. "[It's] a story we've been afraid to see and hear about ourselves in this industry. A story about which voices we respect and elevate and which we tune out: a story about who's offered a seat at the table and who's kept out of the rooms where decisions are made. So, let's all of us — including the groups that decide who gets hired and what gets made and who wins awards, let's all off us make an effort to expand that tent so everyone rises and everyone's story has a chance to be seen and heard.... Art has always been not just in step with history, but has led the way, so let's be leaders."
Tessica Brown, a 40-year-old woman from Louisiana, went viral after using Gorilla Glue spray to set her hair. She ran out of her usual hair spray and used the adhesive to style her hair, which led to her hair being permanently glued to her scalp for about a month. Despite numerous washings, she could not remove the glue, and her situation went viral on TikTok. Tessica eventually sought medical help, which included a procedure to dissolve the glue under light anesthesia. The incident raised questions about product labeling and consumer safety, leading to a lawsuit against Gorilla Glue. Tessica received a settlement agreement, and the terms were not disclosed, but it was reported to be substantial.
You know when a dog walks around, sniffing, and walking around some more, in circles, then he finally poops or pees. - When my dog finally poops, he takes off running playfully as soon as the last bit hits the ground.
Well here is a video I saw this morning on reddit.comthat caught my eye and made me laugh so much. I ended up re-watching it a few times.
