🗓️ August 7th is the birthday of the famous Purple Heart medal. 🎖️ Way back on this day in 1782, General George Washington created the Badge of Military Merit, which later became the Purple Heart. It's a special honor given to U.S. military members who've been wounded or killed while serving. A pretty important piece of history to remember, don't you think?

🥊 Tech Titans' Tiff: Musk vs Zuckerberg in a War of Words (and Potential Cage Match?)

The rivalry between tech giants Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg has taken an amusing turn. Last month, the Meta owner launched a Twitter-like platform called ‘Threads,’ becoming direct competitors with Musk's social media site 'X' (formerly known as Twitter). Musk playfully proposed an in-person fight with Zuckerberg, announcing that it would be live-streamed on 'X' for charity. Zuckerberg, however, wasn't about to let that go without a jab, responding with a dig about using a "more reliable platform" for such an event.

Behind the fun banter, there's a real business struggle going on. Since Musk took over 'X', he's faced several challenges, including layoffs, chaotic verification, and more, leading advertisers to look elsewhere. Meanwhile, Zuckerberg's ‘Threads’ seems to be gaining ground. Who knows if the cage match will happen, but the business battle is sure to continue. 🤼‍♂️💻 (Source)

👓 A Miraculous Recovery: 80-Year-Old Woman Regains Sight After Placebo Treatment

So here's a wild story for you: Lynley Hood, an 80-year-old author from New Zealand, lost her eyesight 12 years ago to glaucoma. Fast forward to 2020, and she's participating in a University of Otago research project for chronic back pain treatment. She ends up in the placebo group that's receiving superficial electrical stimulation to the scalp. And here's the kicker – her eyesight miraculously recovers to nearly 100 percent! Even her ophthalmologist was baffled, calling it a "miracle."

But wait, there's more. This wasn't some fluke. The equipment actually showed that something was happening in her retina, sending messages down her optic nerve. Nobody's sure exactly how this placebo treatment managed to restore her vision, but you can bet that the researchers are eager to figure it out. The accidental miracle means Hood can now go back to writing, and the research team is planning further studies to understand what happened and hopefully help others in a similar situation. Talk about a happy accident! 🎉 (Source)

🚚 A True Highway Angel: Truck Driver Helps Injured Trooper in Arkansas

Here's a feel-good story that will restore your faith in humanity! Gary Wilburn, a truck driver from Texas, was stuck in heavy traffic near Forrest City, Arkansas, when he spotted a crashed State Trooper's vehicle on the side of the road. Unlike the other motorists who just kept on driving, Gary took a closer look and found the trooper pinned inside, badly injured with broken legs.

Not wasting any time, Gary called 911 and stayed with the trooper until help arrived. He's been named a Highway Angel by the Truckload Carriers Association for his actions, but he's just being himself: "I'm that idiot that runs into burning buildings and pulls out pets," he says. It's a reminder that sometimes being "that idiot" is exactly what the world needs. 🦸‍♂️ (Source)
