It’s not just acceptable but actually quite reasonable to detest people who are trying to trash the economy, the society we live in and the planet at the same time as destroying businesses, making people homeless and killing people through austerity and indifference to Covid.

A 17-year-old turned to beetroot juice to tackle a problem the medical world has struggled with for years: detecting infections in wounds without costly technology. In 2021, Iowa high school student Dasia Taylor created surgical stitches that change color when a wound becomes infected. By coating thread with beetroot extract, a natural pH indicator, the sutures shift from bright red to dark purple as bacteria raise the wound’s pH levels. She designed the innovation to be low-cost and accessible for hospitals in developing countries that lack advanced monitoring tools. Taylor was named a Top 40 finalist in the Regeneron Science Talent Search, received the Seaborg Award, and has since filed for a patent.

🇧🇷🇨🇺🚨 BREAKING: Lula just said what the world has been thinking. "Stop this damned blockade on Cuba and let the Cuban people live their lives." Cuba has problems. But they are Cuba's problems. Not Lula's. Not Trump's. Not the empire's. The US has punished Cuba for decades. Sanctions. Blockades. Regime change attempts. None of it worked. Cubans are still standing. Still surviving. Still waiting for the world to let them breathe. Lula is not begging. He's demanding. The blockade is not policy. It's cruelty. And the world is tired of watching. Spread the truth. Free Cuba. Not from its leaders. From the blockade. Let the Cuban people live.

Incoming Hungarian PM Péter Magyar calls for the UK to rejoin the European Union: "I remember when I was a diplomat in Brussels... We were able to influence decisions. At the time, the Brits were also part of the EU. Let's hope they will rejoin."
