@newstart_2024 Ah, the things fathers understand instantly

Your kid “never listens”? Dr. Becky Kennedy says you’re probably not setting a boundary — you’re making a request. She used her own son as an example: he kept pressing every button in their NYC elevator. She’d stand there saying “Don’t press the buttons!” over and over… and he’d do it anyway. Then she realized the mistake. A true boundary isn’t “please don’t do that.” It’s “I will stand between you and the buttons. If you lunge, I will block you.” No negotiation. No pleading. Just clear action from the parent. That single shift stopped the power struggle instantly. Have you ever caught yourself thinking your child “never listens,” only to realize you were making repeated requests instead of setting an actual boundary?

@DivineManhood too much work, i would rather go bald gracefully

Harvard scientists have just cracked the science for making hair grow back. At 35 years old, 2 out of 3 men experience hair loss (regardless of genetics). Here are 7 ways to prevent hair loss and even make it grow back: 1. Your follicles aren't dead when you lose hair.

Dandelion root extract has shown activity against colon cancer cells in early research. In controlled laboratory studies, the extract was able to destroy a large proportion of colon cancer cells within about 48 hours. The effect was linked to apoptosis, a natural process where damaged or abnormal cells are triggered to self-destruct through multiple biological pathways. Notably, the extract also affected cancer cells lacking a functional p53 gene, which is commonly altered in more aggressive and treatment-resistant cancers. This finding suggests it may have potential against forms of the disease that are harder to treat. Animal experiments have produced similarly encouraging results. In studies involving mice implanted with human colon cancer cells, treatment with dandelion root extract was associated with reduced tumor growth, without obvious signs of toxicity or damage to healthy tissues. This apparent ability to target cancer cells while sparing normal cells is significant, as many conventional treatments, such as chemotherapy, can harm both. However, it’s important to note that these results are preclinical. The research so far has been limited to cell cultures and animal models. Human clinical trials are still needed to determine whether the extract is tolerated and effective in people. Overall, the findings point to the potential of plant-based compounds in cancer research, highlighting how naturally occurring substances may contribute to future therapies.

@TheEconomist There’s journalism and then there is this… and I don’t know what this is trying to be but it definitely isnt journalism

Britain is good at absorbing immigrants and allowing them to thrive. A government determined to harass them is not only likely to fail to hit its unrealistic targets. It will damage one of the country’s greatest strengths economist.com/britain/2026/0…

@newstart_2024 I can absolutely guarantee that is is not the whole story, and I guarantee there was selectivity bias in both the experiments location and its subjects. To then layer this in as an argument that ubi works across the board is bovine stocatum

In the 1970s, a small Canadian town called Dauphin was chosen at random for a remarkable experiment. The government gave every resident a guaranteed basic income — the equivalent of about $15,000 a year in today’s money — with no strings attached and no way to lose it. What happened next was fascinating. People spent more time with their kids. Very few quit working entirely, but many stopped accepting terrible jobs, which actually raised overall working conditions. Employers had to offer better pay and standards to attract workers. But the most striking result? Hospitalizations for severe depression and anxiety dropped by 9% in just three years. Johann Hari shared this story and it left me thinking: what if a simple floor of financial security could meaningfully improve mental health at a population level? It’s one of those rare real-world experiments that makes you question a lot of assumptions about work, poverty, and human well-being. Have you ever heard about the Dauphin experiment before? What surprised you most?

@Rainmaker1973 @grok who wrote this study a who commissioned it

Ozempic activates a 'repair mode' in cartilage cells, boosting joint thickness by 17% and potentially reducing the need for invasive surgeries. For years, experts assumed that the joint pain relief seen with Ozempic was mainly due to weight loss. A landmark 2026 study has challenged that view. Researchers from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology discovered that semaglutide—the active ingredient in Ozempic—acts directly on cartilage cells (chondrocytes) to promote regeneration. By reprogramming the cells' energy metabolism (shifting from inefficient glycolysis toward more efficient oxidative phosphorylation via the GLP-1R-AMPK-PFKFB3 pathway), the drug helps trigger a restorative process that rebuilds the protective cartilage cushioning in joints—tissue long thought to be irreplaceable once lost. The results are striking. In a small pilot clinical study, advanced MRI scans showed an average 17% increase in cartilage thickness after six months of treatment, along with signs of new cartilage growth in weight-bearing areas. Patients also experienced reduced pain and improved joint function. This breakthrough points to a new way of treating osteoarthritis: not just managing symptoms, but addressing the underlying structural damage. While larger trials are still needed, semaglutide is emerging as a promising option that could help millions of people avoid or delay joint replacement surgeries and restore mobility through direct cellular repair—independent of its well-known weight-loss effects.

A building collapsed in the centre of Oldham on Tuesday. Five people were injured. Two were taken to hospital. Workers were inside when it came down. Members of the public were steps away. It is a miracle no one died. The building owner called the event 'unfortunate'. The property at 31 King Street is owned by a company whose director is Kamran Ghafoor. Ghafoor is a serving Oldham councillor, leader of the Oldham Group, officially aligned with @georgegalloway's Workers Party, he sits on the very council that carries enforcement responsibility for dangerous buildings in this borough. He has previously been prosecuted over housing offences connected to properties he owned. Inside the council chamber, elected members who sit alongside him branded him a slum landlord. He remained in post. Ghafoor's brother appeared on Greater Manchester Police's most wanted list. Cllr Kammy G has yet to condemn him. His Deputy Leader's brother is a convicted international drug runner. Not one councillor in the town dare raise this. No surprise then, that a convicted heroin dealer and getaway driver for a cop killer is now running for election in the town. Representing one of the poorest wards in the country. Kammy G drives around the town in a supercar. It appears as though he has a fleet of them. Previously, he was criticised for leaving his Rolls Royce parked next to the town's war memorial. He then changed his Rolls for a German Porsche and parked that there instead. No, I'm not making any of this up, he even posed for a picture with it next to the war memorial, such is his power. The Council Knew This Building Was Dangerous Before It Fell Works were underway to address structural concerns already identified before Tuesday. A neighbouring property had been demolished years earlier, leaving the exposed wall to deteriorate. The risk was known before a single worker went inside. Someone identified it, decided repairs were needed, commissioned them, and sent workers in. While those workers were inside a building already flagged as structurally compromised, it came down. Someone made a decision about that building and got it catastrophically wrong. The Law Makes Clear Who Bears Responsibility The Building Act 1984 requires dangerous structures to be made safe before anyone is put at risk. The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 places explicit legal obligations on those who commission construction works to keep workers and the public safe. These laws exist because buildings that fall on people tend to kill them. Tuesday was luck. The kind that does not come twice. Neither the HSE Nor Greater Manchester Police Have Confirmed They Are Investigating. Why? When a building collapses during active construction works in the UK, the investigation cannot sit with the local authority. The Health and Safety Executive holds primary jurisdiction. If criminal negligence is in question, @gmpolice must be involved. Neither body has publicly confirmed a formal investigation has been opened. @OldhamCouncil cannot investigate a collapse involving one of its own sitting councillors. Ghafoor cannot be permitted to shelter behind the protection that holding office in this borough affords him. The bodies with actual teeth must now use them. If the HSE has not opened a formal investigation, that decision requires a public explanation. Ghafoor Has Been Protected Long Enough The people Ghafoor represents live in the kind of housing linked to his property interests. They have no lawyers and no way to force an inquiry. They depend entirely on public institutions to enforce the law without calculating whether Ghafoor is worth protecting. The enforcement record against him does not suggest those institutions have been rushing. Prior housing prosecutions are on his record. His brother was named on Greater Manchester Police's published most wanted list. The words slum landlord were put on the public record by his own council colleagues, in his presence, and he carried on regardless. He drives a supercar through streets his constituents cannot afford to heat their homes on. A building he owns fell in the middle of Oldham and put people in hospital. The local college is yards away. The HSE and Greater Manchester Police must open formal investigations now. If they do not, the question stops being about Kamran Ghafoor. It becomes about them. _________ I’m Raja Miah MBE. For seven years, I led a campaign that exposed how senior Labour politicians helped protect Pakistani rape gangs.

@0x49fa98 Fascinating piece and I accept the position of right wing memes as the coming from a place of the underdog

@waltermasterson You stand by someone tossing a home made grenade over your shoulder…. Looking at your body language shows me that in that instant of realising what had just happened you were not demonstrating a position of solidarity.

And I still stand by it. As a born and raised in New Yorker, everyone is welcome. Everyone except chief goatfucker Jake Lang.

I was in the middle of saying “as a born and raised New Yorker, we welcome everyone into this city” when he threw that over my head.

@BillClinton ahem,

As someone who grew up in a home with domestic abuse, not only would I not have flown on his plane if I had any inkling of what he was doing—I would have turned him in myself and led the call for justice for his crimes, not sweetheart deals.

My key question in this research into AI in filmmaking is what happens when people start prompting to build documentaries for topics like the Epstein files. I think reality could split even further.

The world is going to fracture, it's going to be both beautiful and terrible, but the audience will be there with their popcorn 🍿 gamma.app/docs/How-AI-Is…

@D_The_Husband You missed the important follow up which is making the tap to side control pressure in the next round

To the eighteen year old blue belt that tapped me with a tarikoplata twice in one roll, well done. To the giant white belt who caught me in a nasty triangle and made me tap, well done. To the fifteen year old white belt that was out manoeuvring me and jumped on a sweet back take, well done. You know when a higher belt tells out you did a good job, feels good doesn't it. Because they've been around and they know the grind. If a lower belt or a young gun beats you our bests you on the mat, let them know! Tell them what they did well.
