Father Dies Rescuing Son in Southern California Kayaking Accident
In Riverside County, a 54-year-old father died after saving his 7-year-old son during a kayaking accident on a local lake. The child survived because of his father’s actions. A stark reminder that heroism is often quiet, costly, and untelevised.
Lawmakers Warm to Multi-cancer Blood Tests
Political backing is building for blood tests that aim to detect dozens of early-stage cancers from a single draw. If the evidence holds up and access is equitable, this is the rare policy enthusiasm that might actually save lives. Lawmakers being excited about useful science, alert the historians.
The F-16XL, Proof That Smart Upgrades Can Punch Above Their Weight
General Dynamics once stretched the F-16 into the F-16XL, bolting on a cranked-arrow delta wing that boosted fuel, tripled hardpoints, and improved lift-to-drag at both slow and fast speeds. Translation, more range, more payload, less drag. It even entered Air Force evaluation, a reminder that evolutionary engineering can deliver real capability without chasing the next budget-busting unicorn.
Trump vs Greene, MAGA-on-MAGA Crossfire
After Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene told 60 Minutes that many Republicans privately mock Donald Trump but fear his online wrath, Trump blasted her as “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown,” calling her ideas “really bad” and “very dumb,” and insisting she is not MAGA. Greene, exiting Congress in January, fired back with “I AM AMERICA FIRST,” touted zero AIPAC money, and claimed Trump benefited from pro-Israel spending. She also said he turned on her after she supported Epstein survivors and warned of threats against her son, which the White House says were referred to the FBI. Another day, another conservative family food fight, same slogan in stereo.
Today’s Quote, Bailout Math Meets Blame Game
“Unfortunately, under Sleepy Joe Biden, he is a sleepy guy, our farmers were crushed by the worst inflation in modern history,” said President Trump while announcing a 12 billion dollar bailout for American farmers. Blaming the napper while signing the check is a very on-brand fiscal lullaby.
Peru Delivers First Known Live Birth from a Liver Ectopic Pregnancy
A multidisciplinary team in Peru delivered a healthy baby at 40 weeks from a liver ectopic pregnancy, where the placenta attached to the mother’s liver. It defies the textbooks and highlights meticulous surgical planning and teamwork. Less miracle, more masterclass under pressure.
Denmark Mails Its Last Letters as PostNord Exits Daily Post
On December 30, Denmark’s 400-year-old national letter service bows out. The iconic red boxes are mostly scrapped, a few promoted to museum duty, and letter volumes have collapsed from nearly 1.5 billion in 2000 to 110 million last year. A standard stamp costs 29 kroner, about 4.52 dollars, a price that really ought to include a handwritten sonnet. Private firm DAO takes over letters, PostNord sticks with parcels because cardboard still pays. Postal operators across Europe are watching, with Germany’s Deutsche Post warning the same headwinds are coming for them. The future does not ring twice, it emails you.
