Time magazine article trying to justify naming Hitler person of the year in 1938.

"now Person of the Year — was not an honor but instead should be a distinction applied to the newsmaker who most influenced world events for better or worse. In case that second criterion was lost on readers, the issue that named Hitler dispensed with the portrait treatment that cover subjects typically got. Instead he was depicted as a tiny figure with his back to the viewer, playing a massive organ with his murdered victims spinning on a St. Catherine’s wheel."

"Teen girls are developing tics, Doctors say Tik-Tok could be to blame."

Snip< "Movement-disorder doctors were stumped at first. Girls with tics are rare, and these teens had an unusually high number of them, which had developed suddenly. After months of studying the patients and consulting with one another, experts at top pediatric hospitals in the U.S., Canada, Australia and the U.K. discovered that most of the girls had something in common"


Snip< "specialists at other major institutions have also reported similar surges. Since March 2020, Texas Children’s Hospital has reported seeing approximately 60 teens with such tics, whereas doctors there saw one or two cases a year before the pandemic. At the Johns Hopkins University Tourette’s Center, 10% to 20% of pediatric patients have described acute-onset tic-like behaviors, up from 2% to 3% a year before the pandemic"

My niece developed tics last year, thought this might be relevant for some of you.

Encounter with a Roundabout Karen.

If you have roundabouts in your area you will understand. "Karen" was driving really fast to the yield sign. I was in the
roundabout and laid on the horn. "Karen" jammed on the brakes and yielded.
When we were out of the roundabout "Karen" stared riding my bumper. Told my niece, get the camera on her phone ready.
Pulled over and "Karen" stopped, I put the window down and she started screaming. "Karen" said, I know you thought I
was going to fast and wasn't going to stop. My niece started laughing then "Karen" drove off mad when she saw the niece was videoing the freak out.
People are crazy, be safe and have the video recorder on your phone ready.
