Russian President Vladimir Putin argued during his recent interview with conservative pundit Tucker Carlson that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky alone holds the power to bring the Russia-Ukraine war to a peaceful end. In the former Fox News host's two-hour interview‚ which was released online Thursday‚ Putin insisted that he was "willing to negotiate" an end to the war. He claimed that Zelensky had signed a "decree" preventing negotiations at...

Some stories are wholesome. Others are hilarious. Others still restore some faith in humanity. This one is a combination of all three. A teacher shared on Reddit how he took his student’s torn coat home so that his crafty daughter could mend the pocket. As he explained in his post‚ the student didn't seem to have the funds to fix it on his own or replace the jacket.His daughter didn’t only sew up the jacket‚ but left her own cheeky bit of “11th grade advice” in note hidden in the coat’s pocket.“Hey child‚ it is me‚ the magical coat fixer. Hope it holds up and please send it back if it doesn’t. Sorry I couldn’t make it as invisible as I hoped‚ but I did my best‚” the note read. “Also since you’re in 8th grade (I think — I’m not 100% sure what grade my dad teaches) I thought you could use some 11th grade advice.The note then concluded with “MIDDLE SCHOOL SUCKS. YOU’RE ALMOST FREE. YOU CAN MAKE IT. GOOD LUCK‚" written in all caps. I asked one of my students who is very poor to give me his torn coat so I could bring it home for my daughter to sew. He came to class and showed me that he found this in the pocket. byu/thedeadwillwalk inMadeMeSmileThe teacher shared in the comments that even though his student was “embarrassed at first‚” he kept pulling out the note and smiling through class. The teacher shared in the comments that even though his student was “embarrassed at first‚” he kept pulling out the note and smiling through class.Folks who read the story commended the daughter for not only helping the younger student through an act of service‚ but also with some encouraging words. “Such a small act of kindness will probably be something this child carries with him for the rest of his life‚” one person wrote. “Your daughter has a HUGE heart. What a gift. ❤️” added another.Another noted how this story hits on multiple emotional levels‚ writing: “There are so many wonderful things about this. You thought to help out a kid in your class who didn't have the resources to help themselves/They weren't afraid of too proud to accept help when they need it/You know your child's skills well enough to know they could help/Not only did your kid go out of their way to help‚ they thought it might be nice to include a note‚ a word of wisdom‚ and a promise to keep helping in the future if needed/The kiddo who needed help recognized how special this note was and thought to share it with you/And now you share it with your internet friends!”In an interview with TODAY.com‚ the teacher (who remained anonymous) shared that this kind of behavior was typical of Brianna—his daughter. And apparently‚ her creativity was contagious‚ as the little boy gave her his own handmade thank-you card.Yep‚ something the biggest acts of generosity are small enough to find in a coat pocket.

Ten percent of the land area on Earth is covered with glacial ice‚ which includes ice sheets on Greenland and Antarctica‚ ice caps and glaciers. Unfortunately‚ 750 billion tons of Earth’s ice is melting yearly due to climate change.If climate change isn’t stopped‚ this will lead to disastrous consequences for the entire planet."As a result of this‚ ice around the world is melting and raising the planet's sea level. The oceans already rose 6 centimeters during the course of the 19th century. But they rose by 19 centimeters during the 20th century‚ over 3 times faster than they rose in the previous century‚” says a video produced by Real Life Lore. “NOAA estimates that global sea level could rise by up to 2.5 meters by the year 2100. Which would have devastating consequences."Real Life Lore has over 7 million subscribers to its videos covering geography and world populations.The video speculates that if all the ice on Earth melted‚ it would raise the global sea level by an incredible 68.3 meters (224 feet).This would have a disastrous impact on the United States.How Will Earth Change If All the Ice Melts?“In North America‚ Vancouver‚ Seattle‚ Portland‚ and most of San Diego and Los Angeles would be underwater. San Francisco would be an island and San Jose would be destroyed by the waves‚” the video says.There would be catastrophic damage to the East Coast as well. The ocean would expand to swallow the entire states of Florida and Delaware‚ almost all of Long Island‚ and the cities of New York‚ Philadelphia‚ Baltimore‚ Washington D.C. and Boston.This video depicts a rather grim future‚ but the positive side of the story is that it can be avoided. Each of us has the responsibility to take whatever measures we can to revert the effects of climate change and to push for policies that stop the creation of greenhouse gasses.

Joe Biden sees dead people. After Thursday night’s eyebrow-raising press conference‚ some believe the president sees a dead political career. “And then Helmut Kohl turned to me‚” he told donors this week in New York regarding a conversation about the Jan. 6 Capitol riot‚ “and said‚ ‘What would you say‚ Mr. President‚ if you picked up the London Times and learned that 1‚000 people had broken down the doors of the British parliament‚ killed some bobbies on the way in‚ to deny the prime minister to take office.” The former German chancellor‚ a leader contemporaneous with Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher‚ died in 2017 — three and a half years before Donald Trump supporters stormed the Capitol. Right-wing pundits seize on the Kohlversation to caricature Joe Biden as demented. Their biases compel them to exclude the possibility that the president possesses profound gifts of necromancy. “I sat down and I said‚ ‘America’s back‚’” President Joe Biden said at the beginning of the week of a G7 meeting that occurred shortly after his inauguration. “And Mitterrand from Germany — I mean from France — looked at me and said‚ ‘Well‚ how long are you back for?’” Mitterrand died before George Burns and Claudette Colbert did in 1996. The president’s votaries‚ as eager to dismiss this as a mundane mistake the way his enemies spotlight it as proof of senility‚ claim he meant to say “Macron” and not “Mitterrand.” Does there not exist an equal chance that he meant Charles de Gaulle or King Lothair? After all‚ conjuring from the spiritual to the temporal plane requires no more power to reach back to the 9th century as it does to the 20th. If AI can resurrect George Carlin‚ why can’t JB bring back Francois Mitterrand? It’s not as though the first evidence of the president communicating with those long in the grave occurred this week. Biden repeatedly shared the story of Angelo Negri‚ a longtime Amtrak employee‚ who told him that he had traveled more miles on the rail service than on Air Force Two. CNN cynically pointed out‚ “Negri had been dead for more than a year — and had been retired for more than two decades — before the earliest moment they could conceivably have had the supposed conversation Biden keeps describing.” Last week‚ the president‚ in attempting to empathize with the families of soldiers killed by drone strikes in the Middle East‚ informed them that his son died there‚ too. “My son spent a year in Iraq‚” he explained. “That’s how I lost him.” Pedantic pundits emphasize that Beau Biden died in Bethesda and not Bagdad‚ and six years after he last stepped foot in Iraq. But a thaumaturge able to consult 28-years-dead world leaders surely also boasts the wizardry to alter the dates and places of death. Special Counsel Robert Hur‚ an expert on law and not sorcery‚ described him as “a sympathetic‚ well-meaning‚ elderly man with a poor memory.” He claims Biden did not recall when his son Beau Biden died. He implied that his age‚ rather than his supernatural capabilities‚ led to this confusion. The president naturally reacted with extreme umbrage Thursday night. He even recalled the first two words of the church that hosted the funeral — Our Lady of Something or Other — to demonstrate his memory. Joe Biden’s right-wing critics ignore that this man possesses great powers‚ and not just under the Constitution. He absorbed Neil Kinnock’s life story as his own the way the pod people took over Leonard Nimoy in Invasion of the Body Snatchers and transformed his collegiate and law school achievements like Matthew Broderick improved his grades in WarGames. Jaded partisans dismiss Biden as the dumbest or most dishonest president. Cannot Democrats and Republicans come together and concede him the title of most magical president? And just as the audience of a David Blaine or a Murray SawChuck cannot usually explain what they just saw‚ the American people rarely understand what they just heard from the president. Virtuosos of his level never tell their secrets. It’s for us to wonder‚ not comprehend. To the great question asked in 1965 by the Lovin’ Spoonful’s John Sebastian‚ the president’s acolytes answer in the affirmative; his detractors‚ in the negative. The latter stance‚ belief that the leader of the free world merely thinks that he converses with long dead people‚ seems too horrific an alternative to embrace; the former‚ in the words of The X-Files‚ I want to believe. Joseph Robinette Biden‚ who resembles an elderly Haley Joel Osment‚ possesses a gift. Can we as a people stop expressing our jealousy of his abilities as a psychic medium and start appreciating the benefits of his ability to brainstorm with Hammurabi‚ Queen Elizabeth‚ and Metternich?
