These 2 are so polite

Some nursing homes struggle to attract visitors. One in the Netherlands chose to invite roommates instead. In the Dutch city of Deventer, a retirement home called Humanitas introduced an idea that would eventually gain attention around the world. Rather than accepting loneliness as a normal part of aging, they approached it as something that could actually be solved. For over ten years, Humanitas has allowed university students to live inside the nursing home rent free. In return, the students spend about thirty hours each month connecting with residents. Sometimes that means sharing meals, having conversations, helping with technology, joining activities, or simply keeping someone company during a quiet afternoon. They are not nurses or employees. They are simply part of the community. At first, the idea sounded like a smart response to expensive student housing. But the real impact appeared in the lives of the residents. Reports from outlets such as PBS NewsHour and AARP described seniors becoming more social, more active, and less isolated once younger people became part of everyday life. What makes the story even more meaningful is that many students chose to spend far more time there than the agreement required. Some even stayed connected after graduating. Over time, casual interactions turned into genuine friendships. Humanitas didn’t really create something new. It brought back something many societies once had naturally: different generations living side by side instead of separately. Maybe the issue was never aging itself. Maybe it was the distance we created between generations. Sometimes the most powerful ideas are simply old human connections rediscovered.

@yashar What about cats?! They do the same thing.

This might be the most adorable thing in Central Park 🦝🥹 I promised Mika that we’d go to Central Park and try to find raccoons, and somehow we hit the jackpot ❤️ Not only did we spot a mother raccoon peeking out of a tree, but two curious babies kept popping their heads out to see what was going on below 🥹🌳 Raccoons are mostly nocturnal, so seeing a mom and her babies like this felt extra special. One of those magical New York City moments we’ll be talking about for a long time 🦝✨

Epstein Files: Two FBI agents were killed who were investigating Jeffery Epstein, a Seal Team 6 Commander and MULTIPLE high ranking U.S. officials.

Israeli soldiers raided a Palestinian family's home in the West Bank while the people inside were literally on TikTok live. Children screaming.Pure terror. Soldiers laughing and shoving people around inside their own home.

@Texas_jeep__guy 70? Maybe even a little older?

She wants everyone to try and guess her age. So how old do you think she is? I’ll tell you right now I doubt anyone guesses her age. I’ll let you know if you’re right.

@FlorenceanneD2 This is AI? Somebody better make one! Look how many people would buy one just in this thread! Can't some engineer whip out the design for this?

Papi va faire ses courses. Il a tout prévu pour sa sécurité et le sens pratique !! #courses #déambulateur

@FlorenceanneD2 That cart/walker is so cute!

@WalshFreedom This has happened more than once.

MAGA: “If you’re here legally, you have nothing to worry about.” Also MAGA: “Just comply and show your ID.” The reality: A U.S. citizen. Born in Colorado. Mother of four. Stopped in Lafayette, Louisiana. Shackled. Detained in an ICE facility anyway. She showed agents her state-issued ID and Social Security card. ICE reportedly called them “fake,” handcuffed her, chained her ankles, interrogated her, and transported her to a detention center. She was released hours later only after legal intervention. The lesson is not “show your papers.” The lesson is that papers don’t protect you when power decides not to read them. This is not “law and order.” This is state abuse. Fight Trump.

@NoVADeplorable @jocktag It's impossible to make peace with Israel. Ask Egypt.

@jocktag I’m just bookmarking all these tweets for when Trump’s approval is back in the mid-to-high 40s this fall, gas prices have fallen, and almost half the Middle East has signed the Abraham Accords and made peace with Israel.

Four horseman of the GOP apocalypse

@KatzeATL900 @HalaJaber Israel is bombing north Lebanon. They don't belong there at all.

@Randomvoter99 @HalaJaber "Israel not following the ceasefire" That's actually the opposite. Hezbollah is the one who is not keeping the promises since March.

Tonight, entire families were wiped out in Israel’s bombardment of Mashghara in the Bekaa. Among the dead: Samir Rizk. Hamza Rizk & his two children. Hassan Mansour, his wife, & their two daughters. Killed inside their homes, late at night, as Israeli warplanes unleashed wave after wave of heavy strikes on the town. The footage from the scene is hellish. Homes burning. Entire buildings torn open. Families buried beneath the rubble in their sleep.

@SolomonFlux @thirdintl @Gompers_Stomper @gayest_tone I think Israel should exist but it should be much smaller. If it were smaller, it could be 100% Jewish and it wouldn't need an army. It could be like Vatican City.

@thirdintl @Gompers_Stomper @gayest_tone The only way you can guarantee the safety of the Palestinians is the destruction of Israel as a nation and a complete international renunciation of any & all Israeli claims to property within the whole of the Levant. Israel must be destroyed.

Okay let’s do material analysis, how much material aid did American Jewish groups give Israel after Oct 7? Materially how many bodies did it send to fight? How many auctions of stolen land did they host?

@nancy_buford15 @HalaJaber Israel has been harassing Lebanon since the 1980s.

@Randomvoter99 @HalaJaber Hezbollah has taken over Lebanon. They shot missiles at Israel and Israel defended themselves! If they want to live they would stop this insanity! Iran needs to be destroyed to end this regime.

@OmarHamadD The death toll is much higher than the 70k they are counting.

At one point during the beginning of the genocide, Israel cut off the internet in northern Gaza while the firebelts (intensive airstrikes) were falling violently. There was a massive number of martyrs, with no one able to count them, retrieve their bodies, or even mention them. They died with no one knowing about them.

DISGRACEFUL: ICE agents tear-gassed U.S. Senator Andy Kim at Delaney Hall detention facility in NJ today! Kim was supporting hunger-striking detainees protesting spoiled food, no medical care & extreme heat when federal agents unleashed tear gas & pepper spray. Kim struggled to breathe & injured his hand in the chaos.

This is amazing. The New York Times put together a graphic of how much time cabinet members spend kissing up to Trump in meetings. "On average, at least one of every six sentences either flattered Mr. Trump, gave him credit or criticized his political opponents." North Korea.
