Now, Honey, don't get all emotional an' shit. Just make goddam decision...
Most theories of choice assume that decisions derive from an assessment of the future outcomes of various options and alternatives through some type of cost-benefit analyses. The influence of emotions on decision-making is largely ignored. Emotions are essential for decision-making because they signal the consequences of our choices.
Emotions drive decisions by helping the brain recognize the outcomes of various choices.
The orbitofrontal cortex acts as a bridge connecting emotional processing (amygdala) to rational thought. Damage to this area can lead to a state of being rational but unable to make functional decisions due to a lack of emotional guidance. Sounds like what I got. Damn...

This was no video game for these kids...
These kids are anything but 'the usual suspects'. Somebody obviously did a good job of parenting. This on-board camera video shows the moment quick-thinking Mississippi middle schoolers worked together to stop their school bus from crashing after the driver passed out behind the wheel on a four-lane highway.
Security footage obtained by ABC News shows the five Hancock Middle School students bravely stepping up and bringing the bus to a stop after spotting driver Leah Taylor’s head hanging limply after she suffered a medical episode while barreling down a highway in rural Kiln on April 22.
“She kind of fell over, like flopped over, and everyone started standing up,” one of the brave students, McKenzy Finch, told WLOX.
Sixth-grader Jackson Casnave, 12, said he grabbed hold of the steering wheel after he “saw the bus was veering off to the side.” Meanwhile, fellow sixth-grader Darrius Clark, 12, slammed the brakes.
“The bus started rolling forward. It started like, gaining speed, so when I clicked the brakes, it about threw me out the windshield,” Darrius said.
The students were celebrated at a pep rally Friday and will be treated to a lunch field trip next week at a restaurant of their choosing.

It's not just the media, but...
When I say "It's not just the media, but...", I'm pivoting to the audience - and the sources the media quotess and stories specifically. I'm pointing out that the media isn't operating in a vacuum - they cater to the polarization and outrage already existing within the viewers. The majority of what they're reporting that incites violence is what our politicians - like Hakeem Jeffries and the uber-liberals like AOC - are saying every day.
Here is a breakdown of how the responsibility shifts:
Engagement Drives Content: The media produces click-driven stories because that's what the audience consumes and shares, and that's ow they make their money.
Echo Chambers: Social media algorithms spoon-feed us what we already agree with, making it easy to point fingers at the media for "bias" while ignoring our own.
Confirmation Bias: We're quick to call out coverage we disagree with as "propaganda," but often ignore it when our own views are favored.
Where are we taking this? Are we talking about...
Political Polarization: How both sides of the aisle consume separate realities?
Social Media vs. Legacy Media: Do everyday people now shape the narrative? The public's immediate reactions dictates news sometimes, but not all the time. MSM has a lefist agenda, so what we see from them is almost always skewed.
That old gag?

C'mon, guys - it's just a game, right?
This is the second brawl in the stands we've seen in a week or so.I guess the guy in red musta been a Ranger's fan (I'm a genius - guy's wearing a Texas hat) and didn't take kindly to the Yankees fan cheering his team on.
The Yankees did win the game 3-2, but I gotta tell ya, the Rangers fan landed a coupla really good solid lefty punches, didn't he?

At least he knows a friend when he sees one...
Hey - when you're the King of a country as fucked up as England is now, you better have a sense of humor. Charles delighted guests with his wit and humor on day two of his historic State Visit to the US. The monarch and Trump prompted giggles from the crowds with jokes about “soccer”, the King’s “cute” accent and a handful of more high-stakes gags.
Amid worsening relations between Trump and Keir Starmer over Iran, the King went on a charm offensive to smooth things over in the 'Special Relationship'. Addressing the US Congress, Charles jokingly reassured lawmakers he was not in America for “cunning rearguard action” to reestablish British rule as he spoke about his five-times great grandfather King George III who was monarch when the US won independence from Britain.
The King also later poured on the charm at the White House State Dinner, delighting guests with jokes about “soccer” and speaking French. Referencing the upcoming World Cup in America, Charles quipped the UK calls it “football” rather than “soccer” in a 'cheeky' jibe.
Kings or no kings - that is the question? Well, not really, but...
Here's good old King Charlie getting a standing ovation from every single member in attendance. Did you know he is the very first British Monarch to address our Congress in 250 years? That's a fact, Jack.
He gave them a jolly good show, too, evoking Oscar Wilde here, a nod to Henry Kissinger, Throwing in a sprinkling of Charles Dickens here, a dollop of Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt there.
The only reason I'd think to lead with this is - wasn't every single moron involved in those 'No Kings' protests a Democrat? And here we have every single Democrat in the House standing and applauding a King.
Am I the only one that sees the humor in that?

A compound found in pomegranates, transformed by gut bacteria, can shrink artery plaques and drive down heart disease risk. For about $1.50 at an average grocery store, you could buy a pomegranate and give your gut bacteria the raw material they need to produce a natural compound that, according to new research, shrinks artery plaque and calms inflammation.
Pomegranates contain high levels of the heart-healthy polyphenol punicalagin, but the body barely absorbs it. Instead, gut bacteria break it down into urolithins, smaller molecules that circulate in the blood and affect tissues throughout the body.

The King left the President feeling emotional last night after presenting him with the original bell from a British Second World War submarine called 'HMS Trump'.
In a masterclass of soft diplomacy, Charles unveiled the bell from the Royal Navy T-class vessel which launched in 1944 and fought during the war in the Pacific. The submarine, which is the Royal Navy's only ship to ever bear the name 'Trump', later served in Australia and was scrapped in 1971 - but the bell was saved.

Wanna get through the Straight? Just gotta be crazy rich - and it probably helps if you're a Russkie...
There oughta be a law. I'm no communist (pun intended) but nobody should be so rich and so vaneful to have to own something as garish as this thing. It costs around $40 to $50 million per year to keep the 142-meter (465-foot) superyacht Nord in the water. Owned by Russian billionaire Alexei Mordashov, this $500 million vessel is one of the world's most sought-after and secretive superyachts. Mordashov is reportedly worth around 45 billion, but he must have an incredibly small pishadeel to have to own something like this to make up for it.
“Nord,” one of the world’s most expensive superyachts, features two helicopter pads, luxury lounge decks, and an 80-foot swimming pool at the stern. It also includes an onboard gym, cinema, and jacuzzi, and carries a submarine and other smaller craft. The ship has space for 36 guests and 42 crew.
