"She had saved $5,000 for a luxury trip to Thailand. But she didn't spend it on hotels.

While walking past a trekking camp, Sarah saw ""Nala,"" an elderly elephant chained to a concrete post. Nala was swaying back and forth—a sign of extreme distress. Her eyes looked dead. She had been carrying tourists on her back for 40 years.

Sarah locked eyes with the giant animal and started crying.

She found the owner and made an offer. She emptied her entire savings account right there in the dirt.

""I'm not renting her,"" Sarah said. ""I'm buying her retirement.""

A friend snapped a photo of the moment the heavy chains were finally unlocked. Nala touched Sarah's face with her trunk, letting out a low rumble that vibrated through the ground.

She now lives in a sanctuary, and Sarah went home broke, but richer than ever.

Freedom is the only souvenir worth buying. 🐘❤️"

Not available in Canada what the heck

Learned of this young lady, and her struggles with lower body paralysis, 3 or 4 years ago. Dan Gryder, aviation YouTuber, went waterskiing with her and supported her online presense. She is a good example of being stalwart and also cheerful, in the face of a dire challenge. Lots of love, both ways, in her life.

It only does him credit that RFK Jr. has been so forthcoming about the struggles he had as a young man beset by tragedy, was able to heal and turn his life around to become such an effective and positive force for good in spite of the assassinations of his father, uncle and cousin, and the likely fear that he might be next.

RFK Jr: "I'm not scared of a germ. I used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats."

[Johnnycomelately]

If stopping snorting blow off a toilet seat makes one amazing, I’m half tempted to try that Bolivian marching powder. I am sure I could quit it. Seems like a win-win. I really should up the game tho, so maybe the lines would be crossing worse. So much worse out there, just imagining for that accolade, that RFK jr. was an amateur.

Timestamps here are curious.

OK.

Here is an amazing guy. Not in the description, but in the vid, Captain Steve highlights the pilot saying on the radio ~“Please tell my wife and my mom that I love them”, when he thought he was gonna die.

He lived, vid shows him walking around after, though his plane and two or three cars were damaged. No word on injuries of the occupants of those cars.

This man had the love, at his moment of mortal fear, that we all would hope to have.


Forced Landing in Georgia — Engine Failure Leaves Pilot No Choice

Feb 12, 2026

A routine departure turned into a life-or-death emergency when a Beechcraft Bonanza suffered an engine failure shortly after takeoff in Georgia. With altitude running out and the airport no longer an option, the pilot made the difficult decision to land on a busy road — narrowly avoiding disaster.

In this episode, Captain Steeeve reacts to the ATC audio, breaks down the pilot’s decision-making, and explains what every aviator can learn from this intense emergency landing. Was there another option? Why did the pilot choose the road? And what does this teach us about energy management, situational awareness, and staying calm under pressure?

This is a powerful reminder that sometimes the goal isn’t a perfect landing — it’s simply walking away.

Life as a Teenager with Dwarfism: 30 inches Tall Turning 18

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=bXtzK1Qb-q0

Teenager Georgia is the height of the average two-year-old, and this rite-of-passage film follows her from her 18th to her 19th birthday. At just 2 foot 7 inches tall, she’s charismatic, charming and happy, despite suffering constant pain in her joints. This revealing documentary follows Georgia as she travels to America to meet a medical expert in dwarfism.

What an indomitable spirit exists within this girl, and so quick to laugh.

Kindness appears to be inherent in humans, supported by scientific evidence from studies of infants. Neuroscientists confirm that humans are born with innate seeds of kindness and compassion, similar to language. Japan likes to reinforce that finding and give its very young children a chance to see how it actually works. Great idea.
