He's Figured It Out
From Buzzfeed -
Single Women Are Absolutely Losing Their Minds Over This Man's Spot-On Analysis Of Women Who Like Being Alone
"If all men understood and accepted this, it would be such an insane game changer."
by Kelley Greene, BuzzFeed Staff
As a woman who thoroughly enjoys her alone time, I was absolutely floored by a recent TikTok video from Éros Brousson, aka @gettothepointbro, explaining what it's like to date a woman who is used to being alone. The video has gone mega-viral, with women saying he "knows too much," calling him a "spy," and revealing they've been "exposed."
Éros started out by saying, "Some women have been single for so long, they don't date anymore. They grant you access to their peaceful little empire like a reluctant queen handing you a visitor's badge."

Joy Reid Unearths Another Hidden Story From Our History
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIxhD_SNmDT/?igsh=NW0xNW8xeXZ5czVn
Joy-Ann Reid on Instagram: "They’re banning history to cover up the crimes of their parents and grandparents… . Repost from @somethingblackmade • The Forgotten Story of the Leesburg Stockade Girls. In 1963, 15 Black girls, some as young as 12, were locked in a filthy stockade in rural Georgia for peacefully protesting segregation. No beds, no toilets, no calls home. Just concrete floors and silence. Their only crime was demanding equal rights. For nearly two months, they were hidden from the world, until a SNCC photographer exposed the truth. #SBM #somethingblackmade"

Dr. Kelly LeBlanc Leads the Nation's Most Technologically Advanced Hospital
An excerpt from the Defender -
Black woman leads at Houston’s most advanced hospital
by ReShonda Tate
When Dr. Kelly LeBlanc walks the halls of the newly opened Houston Methodist Cypress Hospital, she sees more than a groundbreaking medical facility—she sees the future of health care.
And as one of the few Black senior leaders in the building, she knows she’s a key part of shaping it.
The Cypress campus, which opened its doors on March 17, merges cutting-edge technology and compassionate care in a way that’s never been done before in Houston. The hospital is among the first in the country to be fully integrated with AI, ambient listening, and 5G-ready infrastructure. But for LeBlanc, the chief of Anesthesia at the new facility and a senior leader at U.S. Anesthesia Partners—this moment is about more than machines and smart tech. It’s about representation, resilience and creating space for others to rise.
“My very first day at Methodist, a woman came up to me and said, ‘I don’t know why you’re here. Black women don’t last—and they surely don’t make partner,’” LeBlanc recalls. “I looked at her and thought, ‘Watch me.’”
And she did more than just last—she led.
Building from the ground up
Methodist Cypress is the newest hospital in the Houston Methodist system and possibly the most ambitious. Its patient rooms are voice-controlled with Alexa-like functionality. Cameras can detect when a patient is at risk of falling. With a single button, a specialist—like a neurologist—can appear instantly on-screen during a stroke. Every hallway, every room, every medical office is designed with technology in mind.
“There are no phones in the rooms,” said Dr. Nicholas Desai, Chief Medical Officer. “We’ve doubled down on voice to drive everything.”
From fall detection to AI-assisted medical documentation, the facility is built for efficiency. For clinicians, that means less time behind a computer and more time with patients. For LeBlanc, it’s an opportunity to shape what high-quality care looks like for today and the future.
“This is the most technologically advanced hospital in the country,” LeBlanc said. “But the technology doesn’t replace the human touch—it supports it. That’s what makes it so special.”

LeBron Makes History on the Toy Aisle
From BBC -
LeBron James becomes first male athlete with a Ken doll
By Samantha Granville

| Mattel |
LeBron James, one of the most iconic figures in modern sports, has made history once again - this time in the toy aisle.
Mattel has announced the release of a new Barbie in Mr James' likeness, making him the first professional male athlete to be honoured as a Ken doll.
"We are excited to bring fans a new presentation of Ken," said Krista Berger, Mattel's senior vice president of Barbie. She said the doll celebrates "LeBron as a role model," his ability as an icon to transcend culture and set a "positive example for the next generation."
The doll features the Los Angeles Lakers basketball player in his pre-game fashion and reflects his height - it's an inch taller than the standard Ken doll.

A resident of a neighborhood with high crime rates and a slow police response, she created a system in 1966 with peep holes, a sliding camera, monitors, a two-way microphone, and an alarm button to call the police. She received her grant of U.S. Patent No. 3,482,037 for her creation on December 2, 1969. Her invention marked the beginning of modern security technology and remains a vital part of home and business security systems today.
Dr. Patricia Bath, born in Harlem, New York, on November 4, 1942, invented the Laserphaco Probe, a device that enhanced the speed and accuracy of cataract removal. She became the first Black woman physician to receive a medical patent in 1988 (U.S. Patent No. 4,744,360). A trailblazer in ophthalmology, she was the first Black woman to complete an ophthalmology residency at New York University and the first woman to lead an ophthalmology residency program in the United States at Drew UCLA. She had a commitment to increase access to eye care, co-founding the American Institute for the Prevention of Blindness in 1976. A laser surgery and vision care expert, she was recognized for her contributions and was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2022. She died on May 30, 2019. |
