It’s amazing to watch a T cell killing a cancer cell! And it’s sad to think that Sars-Cov-2 can cause T cell exhaustion of these magnificent protectors of our life… so that they no longer function as killers of invaders. twitter.com/historyinmemes…

Pneumonia. I wonder what on earth could have made people more vulnerable to pneumonia??

Bought a $1,742.80 camera online from BestBuy. The FedEx delivery driver stole it. FedEx admitted it. But BestBuy won’t give a refund. They said we need to “work with local law enforcement.” Thought everyone should know if you buy from @BestBuy and a @FedEx driver steals what you paid for, your money is gone. Neither company will make it right. I’ve spent over $30K at BestBuy and will never spend another penny there.

Albania has officially drawn the line, Sazan 'lsland is being cleared. In an stunning turn of events, Albanian authorities have launched an active enforcement operation to kick out foreign developers and private security personnel occupying Sazan Island. The decisive action marks a total collapse of the controversial €1.4 billion luxury real estate deal that aimed to turn the protected national marine reserve and former military base into an exclusive private playground for global elites, The eviction comes after four consecutive weeks of historic hundred-thousand-strong protests that completely shut down the capital city of Tirana, refusing to allow their native coastlines and ecologically sensitive wetlands to be privatized by foreign investors, the Albanian public unified under a single, unyielding demand: "Albania is not for sale, the courts faced with a historic political crisis, mounting domestic fury, and a widening anti-corruption investigation by special prosecutors (SPAK), the government was forced to pivot, by deploying state forces to reclaim Sazan lsland, Albania has sent a clear message to international billionaires and foreign developers trying to bypass environmental protection laws, This historic victory for citizen-led activism proves that the collective voice of a nation can successfully overpower backroom corporate deals and protect sovereign land. The people spoke, and the government had to listen.

Pay attention to who is willing to break the law for Trump as we head into the midterms—because his end goal is to create a system where others will break the law for him. It's about building a custom where it's normal to break the law for a person. The big case is the military

Listen to Granny Bibbins, folks. Once you give up privacy… you don’t get it back 👀

@CrazyVibes_1 She was cheated—but she then invested earnings in real estate & pet friendly hotels. She & her son—who died of cancer—were smarter than her husband & her net worth was $200M. Loved Doris—but sadly she requested no gravestone at death. thelist.com/449343/doris-d…

In September 1974, a judge in Los Angeles put a number on the damage done to Doris Day’s life: $22.8 million. It was staggering on paper, the kind of figure that makes headlines. But no courtroom could give her back the years she spent believing the people closest to her were protecting her future while they were quietly taking it apart. To the world, Doris Day was light. She was the smile in Pillow Talk, the voice behind “Que Sera, Sera,” the woman who made America feel a little softer just by showing up on screen. After 1959, she wasn’t just famous she was one of the biggest names Hollywood had. What the world didn’t see was who was signing the checks. Her husband, Martin Melcher, ran everything. He produced, he negotiated, he decided. Next to him was attorney Jerome Rosenthal, the trusted adviser. Doris did what she did best: she worked. She trusted them to handle the rest. Then Melcher died in April 1968. She braced for grief. What she found instead was ruin. The money she thought her films, her records, her years of nonstop work had built was mostly gone. Bad investments, bad deals, debt stacked in folders she’d never been shown. The documents read like a different life than the one she thought she was living. And there was more. Melcher had signed her to a CBS television series without even asking. Doris never wanted a weekly show. But with the financial walls closing in, saying no wasn’t an option. So she showed up. The Doris Day Show started in 1968 not because she dreamed it, but because she had to. Every week, America saw that familiar smile. Behind it was a woman in courtrooms, sorting through betrayal, trying to understand how everything had slipped away. The lawsuit against Rosenthal laid it bare. Doris and her son Terry went after the man they had trusted, and the case pulled back the curtain on years of fraud, malpractice, conflicts of interest, and money mishandled while she was out making people happy. When the judgment came in 1974, $22.8 million, it was one of the largest of its kind. The papers called it a win. But anyone who’s lived through something like this knows: a number on a verdict doesn’t mean the money shows up. Appeals dragged on. Delays piled up. What she actually recovered was a fraction of what the court said she was owed. She could have let it make her bitter. She didn’t. Doris walked away from the Hollywood machine, chose Carmel, chose her animals, chose a life she could control. The court gave her acknowledgment. She gave herself something better. Doris Day’s real victory wasn’t the judgment. It was the day she decided the damage wouldn’t write the rest of her story. She rebuilt quietly, on her own terms and that’s the part that still outshines the $22.8 million.

🚨BREAKING: In a Chicago suburb, a U.S. citizen was observing an adult man in a black ski mask, who she believed was an ICE agent, driving around a HIGH SCHOOL… …and police pulled HER over. Not the MASKED MAN driving around the Schaumburg high school… The officer told her she was being detained for “stalking.” Even though, when she asked who she was allegedly stalking… the cop admitted he didn’t even know yet, and would “find out in just a moment.” So, just to clarify… The cop hadn’t confirmed who the MASKED MAN was. He hadn’t determined whether he was a federal agent, or why he was driving around a HIGH SCHOOL in a SKI MASK. But the cop had already decided the woman, OBSERVING THE MASKED MAN, was the problem. Americans have a First Amendment right to observe what government officials are doing in public. If this was a federal agent… documenting their activity isn’t a crime. It’s accountability. And if it wasn’t a federal agent… most people would expect the police to be concerned about a MASKED MAN driving around a HIGH SCHOOL. Not the woman observing him. In a country where school shootings are a real and constant threat to students… that’s the bare minimum our law enforcement should be doing. But when she asked why a MASK MAN, driving around a HIGH SCHOOL, didn’t concern him, the officer said: “Everyone wears masks nowadays.” So, if someone can be detained for peacefully observing, what they reasonably believe is government activity… While police focus more on the observer than the MASKED MAN around a HIGH SCHOOL… Then we have some serious questions that need to be asked… @GovPritzker

@tjgreisch @jw_mike @JWMediaDC I meant—the SEC could take next contract to market & seek more than just ESPN partnership. Maybe CBS misses 3:30 w SEC? Maybe ESPN wants back into some B1G games? NBC might deal for some SEC night games? We know networks & prez decide additions based on $.

The matchup thing is two edged sword. It’s great for some ratings bumps but until the committee rewards strength of schedule do schools want them. Some have already pulled back on non conference games. Multiple partners? Maybe a streamer but how will Disney feel about that trying to establish DTC. Just me but I think B1G & SEC add 2 each and that’s it. The ACC? Once some dominos fall they have to figure out what they want to be

CBS had a good experience the B1G so they're not going anywhere They like the 3:30 p.m. window and there's some options for Paramount plus only deals down the Big Ten

🚨NEWS: Scientists Were Handcuffed At A Medical Conference. Researchers and physicians attending the American Diabetes Association conference in New Orleans were reportedly detained and removed while distributing a paper criticizing cuts to federal research funding. Think about that for a second. Scientists were not accused of sabotaging research. They were sharing research. If the reports are accurate, the question isn’t whether you agree with their conclusions. It’s why distributing a scientific paper resulted in handcuffs.

@tjgreisch @jw_mike @JWMediaDC Exactly, Nets need CFB but they want better matchups. That’s why I don’t agree— there's no need for expansion. The best way to get better games is to add brands. Look at what Texas/UO did for the SEC/B1G. Will the SEC add multi-media partners next contract?

@jw_mike @JWMediaDC NBC won’t give up the prime slot. Now if Paramount wanted that window and paid for it that could change things. Personally I think all stay, nobody wants to walk from live sports. And yes the ND deal matters

Trump has just destroyed the US beef industry. No country in their right mind is going to import US beef. After Trump cut funding for Screwworm monitoring programs, the dangerous flesh-eating parasite has been found in US cattle for the first time since 1966.

@ImmaculateView IDT there’s a serious divide in the A4, but the conversations around this bill are stirring up sentiments that aren’t helpful—esp to B1G/SEC expansion—and that’s the point. WC comments reflect fan despair—eventually something breaks. (I don’t have chat open.)

Are they though? Maybe they are. I remember when the Private Equity folks were wanting meetings with the A4, the Big 12 and ACC met with them but the SEC and B1G did not. That hasn't stopped them from working together. In fact, I even suggested that those two were playing good cop and gathering info to share with the SEC and B1G whom were playing bad cop. This could just be the same playbook. Maybe its an actual divide, guess we will find out. My money is on there not being a divide between the A4. By the way, I sent you a chat message.

These Senators trying to do an end around. I bet that wont go as well as they are hoping it will. If there was ever a chance of cooperation, it died with this move.

@ImmaculateView OK, but it’s not my terminology—and my OG point was—this bill & how it’s being handled—is designed to divide & stir up resentment that was under the surface. The ACC/B12 are key to the A4 working. & now they are going around Sankey to the prez—I was agreeing.

Call it what you want, I just call it like how I saw it when I read them. This looks like an assumption that he was talking about them but when I compare their statements to those made by the likes of the PAC or the American, there was a pretty big difference. Sankey may have just been thinking about the others.

@ImmaculateView While that’s true—the media has labeled them “support letters”. All 16 B12 members signed—but Phillips made no mention the majority of ACC declined. And Sankey made it a point to imply—he was “disappointed” in his A4 partners support. x.com/achristovichh/…

Those Big 12 and ACC letters, in my opinion, have been a bit misrepresented. I made a post about it so I have been open about this thought. To me they looked like letters saying they are open to dialogue and addressing the Bill. I didnt see anything saying they fully supported everything in the Bill.

It’s called INVESTOR FRAUD. Google is buying GPUs from Nvidia through SpaceX to boost revenue IN ITS OWN INVESTMENT. Google owns 5% of SpaceX. It’s more circular bullshit financing to justify an INSANE valuation. These people are just stealing from us.

This is the most dangerous, anti-democratic thing he’s done yet. He’s using the federal government as a backstop to the greatest fraud of all time: the AI bubble, including the absurd IPOs of SpaceX, OpenAI & Anthropic. He will turn a crash into a depression.

Such tragic news to hear of the death of Anthony Head such a talented actor & lovely man His passing comes so soon after of his Sarah Fisher Both Anthony and Sarah were tireless in their care & compassion for animals. Sarah ran Tilleys farm a sanctuary for rescued horses ponies and donkeys and did so much for animal centred education for dogs and other animals Anthony was a patron of Battersea Dogs Home and Safe Haven for Donkeys and a very vocal campaigner for animal protection During my time as CEO of the Badger Trust he narrated a wonderful ground breaking campaign film aimed at stopping the culling of these beautiful wild animals Both are so sadly missed and deserved longer in this world, l hope they are now finally back together again
