this name shit would be the perfect time for obama and/or mamdani to do a hit for el-sayed. "we've heard a lot of people attacking dr el-sayed over his name. well, for eight years they called me PRESIDENT hussein obama. and i'm MAYOR mamdani. so maybe its time for SENATOR el-sayed."

I requested that our apartment building have a covid and flu shot clinic this fall. They have arranged one for October. If you live in a community setting, maybe your management would also arrange one if you asked?

INTO THE DROWNING DEEP by Mira Grant is only $2 in US eBook format today! That's less than half the cost of a cup of decent coffee for hours and hours of meticulous marine biology research leading you to the horrors of the deep!

Endometriosis takes nine years to diagnose. That’s about to change. NICE has approved two tests: a saliva test reading microRNA markers, and a gut-sensor test returning results in 45 minutes, sparing women the keyhole surgery currently needed. buff.ly/QX3jHk8 #ShareGoodNewsToo

Rapid endometriosis tests to be made available on NHS in England and Wales

Saliva and gut sensor-based tests hailed as ‘gamechanger’ for millions of women who can wait years for diagnosis

Now, we all know the Bayeux Tapestry is currently visiting the BM &tha t there is a replica in Reading. But do you know there are quite a few embroideries inspired by the BT around the UK? Today I went to see the Invasion Tapestry in Fishguard lastinvasiontapestry.cymru #skystorians 🏺1/

Story time! I was once at an SCA demo where a fellow SCAdian earnestly told some poor hapless parent that the reason shirts of chain armor were missing parts under the arms had nothing to do with the reaction of iron to sweat. No. They would put GOLD rings there! 1/n

The Rule of Cool is also hugely important here. For instance, in Iliad 6.230–236, the Akhaian hero Diomedes and the Trojan hero Glaukos trade their armors as a sign of guest-friendship, and the armor that Glaukos gives to Diomedes is made of solid gold. No one in human history has ever actually gone to battle wearing solid gold armor, because gold is an absurdly impractical material to make armor out of; it is extremely rare and expensive, it’s extremely heavy, so it would make the wearer less mobile, and it’s very soft and malleable, so it wouldn’t provide the wearer very effective protection. But none of that matters, because solid gold armor sounds cool.

I have a master's degree in Ancient Greek and Roman Studies, I've studied the 'Odyssey' in Ancient Greek, and I've been writing about the ancient world for over a decade. This is my exhaustive review of Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey'. #Odyssey #classics talesoftimesforgotten.com/2026/07/23/a...

Is it just me, or has Walmart been low in stock or out of a lot of things lately? I can't leave the house often to shop, so I order online. My order has been peppered with substitutions, out of stock items, and low stock warnings the last month or so.

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

💪 Squeeze and hold for 4 seconds, then relax for 4 seconds. Repeat 10 times. As you get stronger, gradually build up to 10 second holds. ⭐ Then do 10 quick squeezes. 🔁 Do a few times a day!

Graphic depicting a chihuahua with its eyes closed and a somewhat stern expression on its face. Above the dog, against a bright fuschia background, is the question: 'What's your kegel face?' There is a pale blue illustration of a face emerging upside down from the top right of the page and a 'swipe more' arrow in the bottom right.A photograph of a white femme presenting person, with pink hair and makeup, holding up a frame in the shape of a pink, purple, and fuzzy vulva. Their head pokes through a hole at the top of the vulva, as if it were the clitoris. The expression on their face is coy, mouth pursed and eyes glancing to the side.A photograph of a light-skinned person with short hair holding up a frame in the shape of a pink, purple, and fuzzy vulva. Their head pokes through a hole at the top of the vulva, as if it were the clitoris. The expression on their face is very serious.A photograph of a white person in polka dot jeans holding up a frame in the shape of a pink, purple, and fuzzy vulva. Their head pokes through a hole at the top of the vulva, as if it were the clitoris. They have a sticker that says 'I found the clitoris' on their forehead and a steely expression on their face.
