And another day of dangers, “virtual certainty,” and a mental health disorder comes to a close:

“We, all of us, could do a much better job of evoking what someone has called the universal principle of human altruism: the urge in us all to help others who are in danger.” -- Bart Starr

These doctors risked their careers to expose the dangers children face in immigrant family detention. Children's fingers crushed by cell doors. A boy who'd lost nearly a third of his body weight in a matter of days. Incorrect vaccine doses and missed diagnoses. "We are writing to you, members of Congress with oversight responsibility, because we have a duty to raise our concerns about the ongoing and future threat of harm to children posed by the current and proposed expansion of the family detention program," the doctors said in a letter to the leaders of the Senate Whistleblower Protection Caucus.

In Rural West Texas, Illegal Border Crossings Are Routine For U.S. Citizens.

A porn director worries that young adults think sex is what they've seen on-screen. A student worries porn sets unrealistic expectations. A porn performer worries some may think her videos are instructional. They all wish people talked about it more.

Video game addiction is a mental health disorder, World Health Organization says.

RIP Bart Starr. He was 85.

“If you work harder than somebody else, chances are you’ll beat him though he has more talent than you.” -- Bart Starr

Life’s short. Live, love, create, and help others.




Until next time, my friends. Good night.
