If you’re a short girl yourself, you know the genetic lottery you’ve won — they always make cute shoes in smaller sizes, your feet are never going to hang off the bed, and there are even health benefits associated with being a little vertically challenged.
History Of National Short Girl Appreciation Day

And when have you ever hit your head on a door frame? National Short Girl Appreciation Day was started to celebrate the smaller ladies...
Elon Musk tweeted Sunday that his pronouns are "Prosecute/Fauci."
"My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci," the new owner of Twitter wrote.
As he prepares to step down from five decades in public health, Fauci is facing further investigations by Republican leadership over the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)’s connection to the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic in funding over a decade of gain-of-function research.
Fauci recently detailed in a new interview with CNN set to air Sunday that he created an "enmity" with former President Donald Trump. The outgoing NIAID director said he could not be "complicit" in Trump spreading misinformation about the coronavirus – pointing to the former president’s...
Written by Uriel Araujo, researcher with a focus on international and ethnic conflicts.
Biden has authorized the redeployment of hundreds of troops in Somalia, thus reversing Trump’s December 2020 decision. The US plans to establish a “persistent military presence” there. This new development is not very surprising, and in fact Washington had never quite left the country but has always maintained at least an advisory presence.
The US has had an “invisible” presence in Africa for a while, encompassing a whole range of covert and clandestine operations – this includes the Horn of Africa, where Somalia is located. Washington has been militarily involved in the country since the early 1990s, as part of a humanitarian intervention in the...
Justin Brownlee and LA Tenorio took turns all night long to power Barangay Ginebra past Magnolia, 103-80, and seize control of their PBA Commissioner’s Cup best-of-five semifinal series Sunday night at PhilSports Arena in Pasig City.
Brownlee poured the glut of his 38-point outing in the second quarter, while Tenorio scattered most of his 20 points in the final two frames to help send the Gin Kings to a 2-1 lead.
“It’s only one win in the column, it doesn’t give you any pogi points going into the next game. We know we have to be better next game. We don’t want to go in a Game 5, because a lot of things could happen in a Game 5,” said head coach Tim Cone.
“I came in wanting to be aggressive and efficient,” added Brownlee, who added...

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, December 7) — The Maharlika Wealth Fund (MWF) bill will be amended to remove major pension funds as funding sources, Marikina Rep. Stella Quimbo said Wednesday.
In a press statement, Quimbo — one of the bill’s authors and vice chairperson of the House appropriations committee — said the proposed sovereign wealth fund will utilize profits of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) instead of sourcing it from the Social Security System (SSS) and Government Service Insurance System (GSIS).
Under House Bill 6398 creating the fund, proponents identified the initial investment of ₱250 billion to come from the GSIS (₱125 billion), SSS (₱50 billion), Land Bank of the Philippines (₱50 billion), and Development Bank...

A man who was caught on camera attacking a Filipino woman in New York City early this year has been sentenced to 17 and a half years in state prison.
The man named Tammel Esco saw the 67-year-old woman entering her New York apartment in March. He then knocked her over the head and proceeded to punch her over 100 times after calling her an "Asian b*tch."
Yonkers Police Department shortly apprehended and took Esco into custody while the woman was still bleeding in front of the elevator.
She suffered from brain bleeding and multiple facial fractures, among other injuries, according to state prosecutors.
"Today we close a chapter on one of the most violent and shocking hate crimes that we’ve seen in Westchester County," said Westchester...
Xi Jinping’s purging of political rivals and elevation of loyalists to the top ranks of the Chinese Communist party has raised fears that his now unfettered and unquestionable power could increase the risk of an attack on Taiwan.
Beijing has pledged to annex Taiwan under a disputed claim that it is a Chinese province, and in recent years has increased its military activity and other forms of harassment and coercion. No timeline has been set, but senior defence figures have said China could be capable of invasion as early as 2027. Others point to Xi’s pledge of “national rejuvenation” by 2047 – the centenary of the People’s Republic of China – as a potential goal.
