According to friends, Sidney died January 2 at the ripe old age of 97. He had for years been quite active, including appearing at a 2022 event honoring “Our Gang” (repackaged as “The Little Rascals” by MGM and on TV).

Born in Minneapolis on July 2, 1928, he and his brother Leonard (1924-1993) were discovered at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, where his mom had taken them for a Hal Roach talent search.

America's Recurring Quest for Greenland: A Strategic Obsession Spanning Centuries

Greenland, the world's largest island, has long captivated U.S. policymakers for its unparalleled strategic value in the Arctic and North Atlantic.
1)
Before Donald Trump's bold overtures in 2019 and post-2024, American leaders eyed the territory multiple times, driven by military imperatives like defense against polar threats and control of vital sea lanes.
2)
There has been a persistent pattern in U.S. foreign policy where geography trumped diplomacy.

In the1860s, fresh off the 1867 Alaska Purchase, Secretary of State William H. Seward turned his expansionist gaze northward.

Welcome to the 7th post of #scanuary.

It's a month-long marathon of daily tweetorials about #POCUS and its uses

I hope you found yesterday's post about #VEXUS useful

Today we're going to discuss bowel PoCUS

If you find the post useful, please like & retweet Image
🌟Let's start with a case

Its Friday night and ED is heaving with patients

A 60 year old coming with abdominal pain
Hx of previous bowel resection for cancer
Pain started 3 hours ago
Opened their bowels this morning
Examination reveals distended abdomen with generalised tendernessImage
⭐️This is where abdominal PoCUS comes in

It can give us info about the liver, GB, kidneys, Aorta and yes also about stomach and bowel

Although pt will get a CT later on but it can aid in early diagnosis & initiation of Mx allowing cognitive offloading in a busy ED

1/5 🧵In a world of synthetic media & echo chambers, truth shouldn’t be a luxury. It should be the standard.

We're building the future of verifiable info@ - The global news ecosystem is ready for a reset

2/5 The most valuable real estate in 2026 isn't physical - it's the space between 'Information' & 'Accuracy.'

is the category-killer domain for the next era of global media. Seeking visionary partners. 💎

When peace requires steps, not voices,
Buddhist monks walk. This is no ordinary journey.
It's a thousand-mile austerity, where every step is a pledge of nonviolence,
every breath a practice of compassion,
and every day a distance from greed, anger, and ego.
#BuddhistMonks 🌿☸️ Image
These monks have no power, no weapons, no publicity.
Yet on American streets, people stop, bow,
offer water, food,
and most importantly—respect.

American society doesn't see a "foreigner" in these monks;
they see a living message of peace.
Where the world has turned religion into a tool for division,
Buddhist monks are working to unite with their feet.

1/ A new paper claims childhood vaccines cause autism & chronic disease, citing a “vaccinated vs unvaccinated” cohort from Henry Ford Health.

This thread explains—point by point—why those conclusions collapse under basic epidemiology. Image
2/ First: this is not original research.
It is a commentary published in a niche journal, reanalyzing unpublished data that has never passed independent peer review. No protocol. No preregistration.
3/ The authors repeatedly treat diagnosis frequency as disease incidence.
That is a category error.

Children with regular healthcare access → more diagnoses.
Unvaccinated children → fewer visits → fewer coded conditions.

That’s ascertainment bias, not biology.

This is similar to how American Library Association trains school librarians to indoctrinate and s*xualize school children.

"This discomfort is not a reason to deny access to the transgender member." Image
Q: Does American Library Association or any of its subgroups talk about discomfort is not a reason to deny access to books?

Grok A: Yes, the **American Library Association (ALA)** and its subgroups, particularly the **Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF)**, express the …
... principle that personal **discomfort** is not a valid reason to deny access to books.

ALA's core documents, such as the *Library Bill of Rights* and *The Freedom to Read Statement*, emphasize that libraries must provide access to diverse viewpoints, even those that some …

🚨My new @NYPostOpinion with @FDD’s @BenCohenOpinion.

Enough of analysis. We lay out a battle plan for how @POTUS @realDonaldTrump can cripple the regime in Iran—and stand with the Iranian people. Image
1️⃣ Left unaided, Iranian bravery will be crushed by bullets, prisons, and torture chambers.

Happy Wednesday!🔥

In my opinion, @Bappfun is not the kind of project that is “born and immediately shouts a token price.” Instead, it starts with an idea and invites people to come together and build the community first. It feels like opening a small local café: no need for a big signboard at the beginning—just get the place crowded first, then think about scaling.

Rather than sitting around waiting for whales to swim in and pour money, @Bappfun lets the community decide the project’s value. Thanks to this approach, smaller projects don’t get overshadowed by big funds, and participants actually feel they have a real voice, instead of just being “liquidity in the background.”

Once the community grows strong and connected, the economic model gradually takes shape, and the token’s value naturally follows. To me, this may be a slower path, but it’s a steadier one: real value doesn’t come from a few big wallets in the short term, but from many small pieces of trust coming together over time.Image

„In recent years, QAnon has achieved notoriety for being an extremely elastic super-conspiracy myth (Wu Ming & Cramer, 2020). Yet, the original narrative is quite straightforward, drawing from a variety of conventional (and almost cliché) conspiracy tropes.
