Easy to hide, harder to quit. Nicotine pouches are spreading fast: toxic, highly attractive and addictive, damaging brain development and poisoning small children. Around 160 countries have no specific regulations. Youth are at risk. Stop making nicotine appealing. 👉bit.ly/48Xn1x2 #TobaccoExposed
A child seen from behind wearing a backpack stands in a surreal candy-coloured scene filled with oversized lollipops, sweets, and floating nicotine pouch-like sachets, with wisps of smoke in the background. Text reads: “Early Start. Greater Risk.”

To keep antibiotics effective for everyone, here’s what NOT to do: ❌ Do not use antibiotics for colds, flu or sore throats. Antibiotics do not treat viruses. ❌ Do not share your antibiotics with others. ❌ Do not save leftover antibiotics for use later. Learn more 👉 bit.ly/4otAEcV
A bright red WHO graphic with the title “Don’t” in a white speech bubble. Below it are text bubbles:
• “Don’t use antibiotics for common cold, flu and sore throats. They don’t treat viruses.”
• “Don’t share it with others.”
• "Don’t save antibiotics for later.”
At the bottom, bold text reads: “Make smart choices.” and “Protect life-saving medicines for everyone.”

Left: washing machine with the words “Critical Washing” on it

Right: A quote: “"When we critique AI, we should do so with intellectual honesty and in a principled way. Utmost care is needed to avoid ethics washing, greenwashing, and generally — what we dub — critical washing. Critical reflection cannot be reduced to a mere ‘check box’ before unleashing AI technologies in our daily life after all (as has been done in other areas such as vaping and combustion engines). Researching and reflecting on the harms of AI is not itself harm reduction. It may even contribute to rationalizing, normalizing, and enabling harm. Critical reflection without appropriate action is thus quintessentially critical washing.”

🚨 This is unscientific & dangerous. The MMR vaccine is safe, effective & used worldwide. Splitting it into 3 shots isn’t evidence-based—it’s politics that will sow confusion, lower coverage & fuel outbreaks. Don’t be surprised when countries start requiring proof of MMR from U.S. travelers. 💉

Are those pockets? I think those are POCKETS! 😍 👏Ariana Greenblatt in Cannes For more about why pockets are progressive- vox.com/2016/9/19/1286… TLDR- women are meant to be purely decorative and not handle money. And we can't be trusted, apparently. 🙄
Ariana on the red carpet in a deceptively simple dark forest green dress with a tiny fitted strapless bodice and an enormous billowy floor length skirt. Hands appear to be in pockets (or perhaps on her hips, obscured by the folks of the dress).Close up side-on view showing more clearly that her hands are probably in pockets.
