For decades, we’ve loved Henry Winkler. He first came into most of our lives as the lovable tough guy Arthur Fonzarelli on Happy Days. These days, Henry’s hair is grayer with a lot less grease, and instead of answering to “Fonz,” he has a new favorite nickname. Henry Winkler is the consummate family man who loves his three kids and can’t get enough of his grandchildren. He shared with People that at the end of November, he was the proud grandpa of six with one on the way. And it looks like his son Max Winkler and daughter-in-law Jessy Barden quietly welcomed their second baby last week. Jessy snuck the news that Henry Winkler has a new grandchild into her Instagram story on December 16. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jessica Barden (@jessybarden) Henry Winkler’s Seventh Grandchild Is Officially Here Jessy shared a photo of pumped breastmilk and admitted she had no idea how soon her milk would come in with a second child. She wrote, “Your milk will come back immediately and with full power way more than your 4-day-old baby’s stomach can handle.” She advised new moms to pump as soon as possible. A few slides later, Jessy apologized for being in her pajamas, saying, “I had a baby five days ago. I’m sorry if you didn’t know that.” She gave no other details about the new bundle of joy but shared a picture of herself and Max in the hospital while she held her new baby. Max looks so much like Henry Winkler that it’s crazy, and he seems as loving and doting as his famous pop, feeding his wife, who no doubt felt famished after giving birth. She captioned the photo set, “I am late posting these insane images that i absolutely love and will cherish forever because i was giving birth to the child lol.” There has been no word from Henry Winkler about this new grandchild, but there’s no doubt he is thrilled. He recently shared with People that he had seven ornaments on his tree for his grandkids Ace, Jules, Gus, India, Lulu, and Frances, and one for Max’s baby, who hadn’t been born yet. “It is different, completely different than being a parent,” he said, “but it is filled with the same emotion… Every one of them is different. You have to approach each one completely differently.” Congratulations to the entire Winkler family. What a great present this holiday season.

'No point in fighting extradition'

A kitten followed other cats to a home for food, and soon, his life transformed. SafranChatonsOrphelinsMontrealAn orange kitten was spotted near a home, searching for food. It seemed he had followed community cats to their food source.Skinny, sickly, and starving, he wolfed down the food as if he hadn't eaten in days. Unsure where his next meal would come from, the lone kitten decided to stay, hoping for another chance to eat.A concerned resident turned to the online community for help. Several animal rescuers sprang into action after seeing the post. He was very hungry when he showed upChatonsOrphelinsMontrealIsabelle, Linda, and Guylaine teamed up to secure the kitten. One of them transported him on a two-hour car ride to Montreal, where volunteers at Chatons Orphelins Montreal awaited his arrival."We took him into our care and named him Safran. He was very skinny, and you could feel every bone under his fur," Celine of Chatons Orphelins Montreal shared. ChatonsOrphelinsMontrealA foster family stepped in, offering Safran a safe and comfortable place to start his healing journey.He was treated for an eye infection, fever, and stomach troubles. Despite it all, he continued eating heartily, determined to get stronger. After a few days of nourishing meals and TLC, he began to fill out and regain strength. ChatonsOrphelinsMontrealSafran quickly settled into his new life as a pampered indoor cat, craving affection and love. He would melt into a puddle of purrs whenever he was wrapped in a soft blanket."He is gentle and purrs the moment you touch him but is still easily startled by sudden movements or noise." ChatonsOrphelinsMontrealAfter plenty of cuddle sessions and reassurance, Safran became more confident and comfortable around the house.He enjoys lounging on the couch with his human and feline friends, sitting beside them like the perfect companion. "He is gentle and calm. He loves cuddles and is a purr machine. He rolls on his back and nudges you for attention, and when he's in your arms, he falls asleep purring." ChatonsOrphelinsMontrealSafran has made a full recovery and is loving his newfound energy. He's met other cats in the house and quickly befriended them all. He's often seen following them around, joining their adventures, or napping by their side.After weeks in foster care, he's blossomed into a fluffy "lion" cat with a sweet, charming personality. Safran enjoys lounging with his feline friendsChatonsOrphelinsMontreal"He loves it when you take the time to play and cuddle with him every day. His favorite napping spot is a sunny perch on the cat tree. He has a big appetite, always finishing his plate and even sneaking bites from other cats' bowls."He adores his feline friends, eagerly following them and mimicking their every move. He thrives in their company and craves their love. ChatonsOrphelinsMontrealSafran has come out of his shell since he arrived but can be a bit shy at times. He crouches down if he's approached too quickly, but as soon as he's cuddled, he transforms into a love bug, snuggling and purring."He's discovered his own voice by imitating other cats in the house. Now, he meows when he is hungry or looking for his feline friends." ChatonsOrphelinsMontreal"Safran was fortunate to have been rescued from the streets when he was a lonely kitten."Now, he basks in the sunlight by the window, nestled in his toy-filled bed, playing and wrestling until he drifts off to sleep. ChatonsOrphelinsMontrealIt takes a village to save a cat. The once tiny, hungry kitten has flourished into a beautiful, fluffy feline companion, filling every room with his rumbling purrs.

Sure, there might be a few bad eggs here and there, but by and large, delivery drivers aim to serve in any way that they can. Many even go above and beyond what their actual job responsibilities are, just to make us feel safe and satisfied. Of course, sometimes this natural inclination to help can backfire in delightfully funny ways, which is why folks are cracking up while watching this viral video of an Amazon driver who found a welcome mat that read “hide packages from my husband” and took it a little too literally.What makes this clip such a hoot and a holler isn’t that we see—via a doorbell cam, aka the modern day window into the soul of humanity—the driver ring the doorbell, see the doormat, and attempt to hide the package behind a plant. No no no. The hilarity comes when the husband answers the door.“Oh hey, how’s it goin’? You got a package?” the husband asks, seeing the signature blue Amazon vest. “Uh…no, I don’t,” blurts the delivery driver, before coming up with this hilarious cover:“I’m just uh…here to tell you about the historic Gospel of Jesus Christ…?”Posts from the mademesmile community on RedditThat gets the husband to make up an excuse and leave almost immediately. As the wife wrote in this video’s on-screen text, “he understood the assignment.” Someone put this man on an undercover job stat!Unsurprisingly, people were totally here for this Amazon driver’s improv skills. “He switched careers from a delivery man to a holy man in under a minute. LOL.”"Imagine if the husband was like, oh sure come on in and tell me all about it. He'd have to put on a whole sermon on the fly."“This driver deserves a raise.”“Amazon driver saving one marriage at a time ?”“I love that he used 'witnessing' to get out of an interaction!!!!”“I would have a big fat tip for him next delivery. That was awesome ???? He was such a good sport.”“We had this door mat for a while and sometimes came home to packages hidden around the porch. It was always fun to get the ‘delivered’ notification then have a bit of a hunt.”FYI—if you have an Amazon driver you’d like to give back to for their hard work (involving pretending to be a missionary or otherwise) you can search “thank my driver” in the Amazon app after you get a package, and then click on the banner that pops up so that your driver will get a $5 tip.

Have you ever seen anyone put an avocado pit in water to grow an avocado tree? I've seen lots of people try, but only a few succeed. My mom has a tiny avocado tree growing in her living room that she managed to grow from the pit of a Hass avocado she ate. It's small but thriving, and I've often wondered if it will ever grow actual avocados.As it turns out, it could—but they won't be Hass avocados. Wait, huh?In a wow-that's-an-interesting-factoid-I-never-knew-before YouTube video, an avocado farmer explains why a Hass avocado seed doesn't grow into a Hass avocado tree. Avocados, apparently, are not "true to seed" plants, meaning if you plant the seed, you'll end up with a different variety of the fruit the seed came from. Apples are the same—if you plant a Fuji apple seed, you will not get a Fuji apple tree. In fact, chances are really, really high that you'll get an avocado or an apple that tastes terrible if you try to grow it from the seed of an existing fruit.The guy from Sleepy Lizard Avocado Farm, Tom Siddons, explains how it all works using an analogy with candy flavors. This is the genetics lesson we all needed in school when we were trying to figure out Punnett squares, and he explains it all so clearly.Incredible how nature works, and so amazing what human beings have been able to figure out over millennia of agricultural advancements.So how do you get a Hass avocado tree if not from a Hass avocado seed? As Siddons explains in the video, you can plant the pit and start to grow the tree, but if you want Hass avocados you have to graft a branch of a Hass avocado tree onto the stem of the tree you're growing.Or, you can just buy a baby Hass avocado tree that's already been grafted, which is probably a heck of a lot easier than doing it yourself.So, go ahead and sprout that seed in water and grow yourself a pretty avocado plant if you'd like. Just don't expect any yummy avocados from it since your chances are about 1 in 10,000 that it'll happen.Thanks for the fascinating lesson, avocado guy!This article originally appeared three years ago.

Ahoy, matey! Limping around pretending you have a peg leg while wearing a patch on your eye isn't an uncommon thing for kids to do when they're playing pirate. The existence of old-timey pirates and all their ailments from living on the sea with scarce food feels so far away it seems like make-believe. But pirates did once exist outside of the blockbuster "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie franchise, and they did actually have diseases like scurvy.The Golden Age of Piracy is said to be from 1690-1730, and scurvy was essentially eliminated towards the end of that era once it was discovered to be a vitamin C deficiency. Due to science and improved nutrition information, scurvy has been a thing of the distant past for a long, long time. That is, until recently.Turns out the deficiency once relegated to pirates with limited access to oranges while they were looting merchants has been making a comeback. One woman is spreading awareness of the return of the nearly forgotten vitamin deficiency after she was recently diagnosed with scurvy after several trips to the doctor. season 6 episode 23 GIF by SpongeBob SquarePants Giphy In the initial video uploaded to social media, the woman who goes by Thorn is seen dancing to Pink's "We Got Scurvy" while holding a bottle of lemonade. The text overlay of the lighthearted video reads, "just got diagnosed with scurvy in 2024," while the description says, "arr matey gimme that orange." Of course, it's fun to joke about being a pirate, but the reality is, scurvy can be pretty serious if left untreated.Outside of generally feeling tired and unwell, it can cause bleeding gums, tooth loss, muscle weakness, joint pain, and opening of old wounds. While the issue was once rarely seen in the United States, it is making a comeback, according to the University of Nebraska, and part of the blame for the resurgence is the high cost of living. In Thorn's case, she proclaims to live in a food desert where her only access to food nearby is a local gas station as there are no grocery stores in the area. Food Bank Lunch GIF by All Better Giphy "I got scurvy because I live in a food desert. There are a lot of food deserts in America. The only place that sells food around here is a gas station and no gas stations do not have canned vegetables and mine doesn't even have those little prepackaged meals. It's not that nice of a gas station," Thorn says in response to a comment. "I got scurvy also because my body doesn't absorb nutrients correctly. That's the case for some people and especially when your diet poor living in food deserts or being unable to afford groceries."Nobody plans on getting scurvy, but with the rise of prices on groceries, it's often more cost effective to get unhealthy foods than to purchase fruits and vegetables. People have been supportive of Thorn, with some sharing tips on how to fight off or avoid getting the condition. @chthonicrose arr matey gimme that orange ♬ We've Got Scurvy performed by P!nk - P!NK "I haven't lived in a food desert before, but I have been super poor (and before that, I was homeless) in the past, I kept myself alive with prenatal vitamins to make up for my lack of nutrition," one person says before adding, "my bestie suggested that for me and I thank them everyday because at time I was running on fumes and sleep to get by.""Kumquat tree, it's easy to grow, can stay fairly small, and provide a good amount of vitamin C. Not a quick solution. But being able to grow your own food is going to be me the only answer," someone suggests."We live in a food desert here in Alaska. the little store is filled with rotten fruit and veggies and the gas station doesn't have healthy food either. closest grocery store is an hour and a half away," someone else chimes in. @chthonicrose Replying to @betwhixtscurvy psa #greenscreen #scurvy #psa #fooddeserts #chronicillness ♬ original sound - THOЯN ? "Canada is struggling with scurvy too. Fruit and veggies are so expensive," another shares.Stores being 30 minutes to an hour away may not sound like a problem for some people, but for those without cars it can be nearly impossible to get to the store. It's also unlikely in towns that are considered a food desert to have any sort of public transportation including private services like Uber. Private drivers rely on having a moderate request volume in an area to make the trip worthwhile, which is why it's easy to grab an Uber at a busy airport but not so much when you're out in the middle of nowhere. But no matter the cause, the rise in scurvy is concerning. Increasing your intake of foods fortified with vitamins and taking multivitamins can help decrease the likelihood of developing the 17th century health issue. Drink your orange juice. Fight off scurvy.

O'Keefe: NSC Employee on Hidden Camera Describes Biden's Decline

The emotions through the words. The post “So much more powerful”: Thom Yorke on his all-time favourite lyricist first appeared on Far Out Magazine.

Dr. Anthony Fauci announced his retirement in 2022 but continued to receive a private chauffer and a U.S. Marshal security detail, funded by taxpayers. That constitutes evidence that under the Biden-Harris junta, Fauci remains in power, a serious matter that should come as no surprise.Fauci has been a government bureaucrat since 1968, and during the COVID pandemic, Joe Biden let slip that, in effect, Fauci was the real president. Fauci recently authored “HIV and COVID-19: Shared Lessons from Two Pandemics,” which leaves the key by the front door.Never again should anyone, let alone a Lysenko figure like Fauci, be allowed to control a government health agency for decades.HIV, by which Fauci means AIDS or HIV/AIDS, fails to qualify as a pandemic. Back in the 1980s, Fauci contended that AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) could be spread by simple family contact and would ravage the general population. As Michael Fumento noted in “The Myth of Heterosexual AIDS,” the syndrome never moved beyond male homosexuals, hemophiliacs, and intravenous drug users in any significant measure. As with COVID, the origin of AIDS was a matter of dispute.In 1983, Luc Montagnier, director of the Viral Oncology Unit at the Pasteur Institute, discovered the human immunodeficiency virus, better known as HIV. That came to the attention of Fauci, who earned a medical degree in 1966 but in 1968 took a cushy “yellow beret” job with the National Institutes of Health. Fauci’s bio showed no advanced degrees in biochemistry or molecular biology, but in 1984, the NIH made him director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, where he flagged HIV as the sole cause of AIDS. Medical scientists much more qualified than Fauci disagreed.‘Copious scientific evidence’Harvard and Johns Hopkins molecular biologist Charles Thomas, biochemist and Nobel laureate Kary Mullis, and UC Berkeley molecular biologist Peter Duesberg — a member of the National Academy of Sciences with an outstanding investigator grant — had never seen a retrovirus with such destructive capabilities. Never had a retrovirus been shown to cause a human disease or even a disease in animals. Nobel laureate Walter Gilbert found “no animal model for AIDS,” and Harvey Bialy, scientific editor of the journal Biotechnology, could locate “no pathogenic relative” for the virus. Some 40 years later, here’s how Fauci spins it:Several years after the discovery of AIDS, Peter Duesberg, a prominent molecular virologist from the University of California at Berkeley, claimed that HIV was not the cause, but that the syndrome was the result of noninfectious factors such as recreational and pharmaceutical drug use and sexual promiscuity unrelated to the virus. He was joined in AIDS denialism by other prominent scientists including Kary Mullis, who won the 1993 Nobel Prize in chemistry for his invention of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. It was remarkable that these scientists made claims based on no credible scientific information and in the face of copious amounts of scientific evidence that negated their assertions.Fauci leaves out a key point. Kary Mullis also contended that Fauci “doesn’t understand electronic microscopy, and he doesn’t understand medicine. He should not be in a position like he’s in.” The unqualified NIAID boss, who never invented anything, did not attempt to debate Mullis, Duesberg, Thomas, or any member of the Group for the Scientific Reappraisal of the HIV/AIDS Hypothesis. In 2024, Fauci has it exactly backwards.It was the NIAID boss who failed to show “copious scientific evidence” that HIV is the sole cause of AIDS. His new paper fails to cite any peer reviewed, replicated study confirming that causation, and avoids an Italian study on “non-HIV AIDS.” At 83, the evasive bureaucrat is still quick on the trigger.Dr. Fauci maintained that COVID-19 virus emerged naturally in the wild. Other medical scientists detected a laboratory origin. Instead of engaging in debate, Fauci smeared them as “conspiracy theorists.” To this day, he piles it on:Misinformation and disinformation have been rampant during the COVID-19 pandemic and were made worse by online platforms that amplify untruths faster than any other time in history, some of them spread by well-funded bad-faith actors. From a public health standpoint, this has been particularly damaging with hesitancy to accept the safe and highly effective COVID-19 vaccines.For Fauci, “misinformation” and “disinformation” mean any departure from the views of the NIAID boss. The medical scientists of the Great Barrington Declaration, most if not all more qualified than Fauci, challenged his lockdown policies, particularly with schools. As with the AIDS dissenters, Fauci did not debate these scientists and chose to attack them as “fringe epidemiologists.” Obama NIH director Francis Collins tasked Fauci for a “quick and devastating takedown” of the GBD scientists.In 2021, the nonpracticing doctor proclaimed, “Attacks on me, quite frankly, are attacks on science.” To all but the willfully blind, Fauci is a certified megalomaniac, but there’s a method to his madness.“It has been firmly established that the origin of HIV is zoonotic,” Fauci now proclaims, without showing how that has been established by any replicated study. In effect, Fauci is working backwards, applying his false claim for the COVID virus to HIV. On the other hand, Fauci is looking ahead.With the state calling the shots, and many diseases proclaimed “zoonotic,” government health bosses can lay down mandates with no scientific verification, as Fauci modeled during the COVID pandemic. In 2021, the same year he claimed to represent science, Fauci told a Montreal audience:I think what people have to appreciate is that indeed, you do have personal liberties for yourself and you should be in control of that. But you are a member of society, and as a member of society — reaping all the benefits of being a member of society — you have a responsibility to society. And I think each of us, particularly in the context of a pandemic that’s killing millions of people, you have got to look at it and say there comes a time when you do have to give up what you consider your individual right of making your own decision, for the greater good of society.Time for accountabilityAs it turns out, white-coat supremacy is standard-brand totalitarianism. That is Fauci’s vision moving forward, but the NIAID boss has a problem. President Trump’s choice to lead the Department of Health and Human Services is Robert F. Kennedy Jr., author of “The Real Anthony Fauci.” In his cover endorsement, Nobel laureate Luc Montagnier proclaimed: “Dr. Joseph Goebbels wrote that ‘a lie told once remains a lie, but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth.’ Tragically for humanity, there are many, many untruths emanating from Dr. Fauci and his minions. RFK Jr. exposes the decades of lies.” RFK Jr. can continue the exposure but not alone.Trump’s choice to head the National Institutes of Health is Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, smeared by Fauci and Collins as a fringe epidemiologist and censored from social media. Trump’s choice to run the Centers for Disease Control is U.S. Army veteran David Weldon, a physician, former congressman, and critic of the CDC and its vaccine policies.Kennedy, Bhattacharya, and Weldon face an urgent and monumental task: the dismantling of white-coat supremacy, whose institutional structures remain intact. New NIAID director Jeanne Marrazzo is a Fauci disciple, and if anybody thought Fauci still runs the show, it would be hard to blame them. His plan for the future must not stand.Never again should anyone, let alone a Lysenko figure like Fauci, be allowed to control a government health agency for decades. Never again should one person wield executive-level power without ever facing the voters. Never again should the same people control public health policy and spending on medical research.Kary Mullis, who called out Fauci as unqualified for the NIAID job, died in 2019, but at this writing, Peter Duesberg is still around. As he explained in “Inventing the AIDS Virus,” Fauci worked behind the scenes to cancel Duesberg’s media appearances and targeted his NIH grants, which in time, hindered the cancer research that brought Duesberg to UC Berkeley in the first place. Without Fauci’s campaign against him, a cure for cancer might be closer at hand. The damage wrought by Anthony Fauci is truly fathomless. At some point, Kennedy, Bhattacharya, and Weldon should bring in Pam Bondi, Trump’s pick for attorney general, to make a case for reparations. The time for justice is now. In 2025, the people will be watching.
