Today, 5 years ago, I brought this little guy home from Homeward Trails animal rescue. I named him Barney, but I call him "Barnacles" more often than not. He has approximately 113 nicknames. I didn't like cats per se, but a friend of mine persuaded me to give them a try. I saw an ad (first photo) and he looked so majestic with his ring tail. He looked like a good friend. The next photo is the day I got him. He was shy at first, but eventually came over to me within a day or so and got to know me better. I have never found anything so affectionate, loving, snuggling, and an overall improvement to my life. Had I known I would have got a pet decades earlier. He doesn't want to do anything but lay next to me. My friends have remarked he doesn't act like most cats. He doesn't like catnip or empty boxes. He doesn't knock things off tables or shelves. He just... chills out. When I come home from work each night, he gets on his back and shows me his belly which I come over and rub. It's the best feeling to come home to that. He tends to know when I'm not feeling well and will come over to check in on me, like when I'm working at home and stressing out over something. My best friend 5 years in, Barney is the best decision I've ever made in life.

LO ÚLTIMO: Tras el lanzamiento de Artemis II, la tripulación reportó un problema con el sistema sanitario de la nave Orion. La astronauta Christina Koch detectó una falla en el sistema de gestión de residuos, específicamente en el mecanismo encargado de la recolección de orina. Según la NASA, el problema estaría relacionado con el ventilador o el controlador del sistema. "El ventilador del inodoro está atascado", explicó el portavoz Gary Jordan, mientras los equipos en Tierra enviaban instrucciones para solucionar la falla. Horas después, el sistema fue restablecido. "Me complace informar que el inodoro está listo para usarse", comunicaron desde el control de misión, devolviendo la normalidad a bordo.

BREAKING: WHOOP RAISES $575M AT $10.1B VALUATION  I am pleased to announce that we’ve raised $575M at a $10.1B valuation to accelerate our mission of unlocking human performance and healthspan globally. This round was led by Collaborative Fund with participation from 2PointZero Group, Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), Mubadala Investment Company, Abbott, Mayo Clinic, Macquarie Capital, Glade Brook, B-Flexion, IVP, Foundry, Accomplice, Affinity Partners, Promus Ventures, and Bullhound Capital alongside a group of individual investors including Cristiano Ronaldo, LeBron James, Rory McIlroy, Virgil van Dijk, and Mathieu van der Poel. This investor group and this moment reflect a powerful evolution underway for Whoop and the broader healthcare market. Whoop was born in performance - trusted by the best athletes in the world to train, recover, and compete at the highest level. That foundation remains core to who we are. You see that in the iconic athlete investors joining this round.  But it also represents our push into broader health.  In the past 12 months, WHOOP has received medical clearances, launched blood testing, and created a platform that has saved lives. Abbott and Mayo Clinic - two of the most respected and influential institutions in global healthcare - are now investors in Whoop. These are organizations that have shaped modern medicine. Their decision to partner with us is a clear validation of where our technology is headed. Healthcare systems around the world are reactive. For too long, they have waited for people to get sick, then intervene. Chronic disease is rising and costs continue to climb. At Whoop, we believe the future looks fundamentally different. We are building the most powerful, personal, preventive health platform in the world - powered by continuous biometric data, advanced analytics, and AI to help people understand their bodies and improve their health in real time. I am grateful to our team, our members, and our partners for believing in this vision. I’ve been building this company for 14 years and I’ve never been more excited for the future.
