As good as a therapeutic chair or accessory feels on your back/behind, don’t be tricked into thinking that it’s good for you. ANY chair is bad if you’re sitting on it for multiple hours at a time.

Want people to leave you alone? Wear headphones. You don’t even have to listen to anything but people are much less likely to try and bug you.

It's a new day in Cuba after residents of the island nation approved a new "family law" that will allow same-sex marriages.
Same-sex couples will also be able to adopt, surrogate pregnancies will be legal, new protections for the elderly will be enacted, and there are even measures to protect residents from gender violence.
The sweeping 66.9% approval comes despite surging resistance from evangelical groups and other conservative-leaning Cubans.
Wow….if they can do it..why can’t we try not to take away the rights of our citizens???
Come on America, wake up!

Apparently, babies inside the womb love carrots but they are not at all fans of kale.
A new study by Psychological Science found that fetuses smiled after mom ate carrots and scowled after they were fed kale. The discoveries were made through 4D ultrasound images.

If you heard there was a "Ferris Bueller" spin-off in the works, what would you want it to be about?
Maybe what Cameron's up to now? Or how about Ferris and Sloane's kids, who are just as devious as Ferris was and are now putting HIM through the wringer?
Well, here's what you're getting: "Sam and Victor's Day Off". Who are Sam and Victor, you ask? They're the valet parking guys.
The movie will tell the story of THEIR adventure when they took Cameron's dad's Ferrari for a joy ride in the original.
They didn't have names in that movie. They were played by Richard Edson and Larry "Flash" Jenkins . . . who died in 2019. Obviously, their parts will be recast with younger actors.

People in some cultures around the world put a priority on mid-day naps and "siestas" . . . especially in the summer . . . and now, there may be some science to explain why that's actually GOOD for productivity.
Neurobiologists from Northwestern University have studied the brains of fruit flies and they say the brain has its own thermometer, and that it prefers 77 DEGREES.
Temperatures above that, for prolonged periods of time, may cause the brain to trigger a desire for sleep or rest. Again, they observed that in fruit flies.
They're including these findings in a larger study on how temperature affects brain power. They previously did research into why it's harder to get out of bed on colder mornings . . . that's something that fruit flies ALSO experience.
