Defending Eurovision's Cha Cha Cha
Finnish group Käärijä was undoubtedly the fan favorite. The public vote confirmed what we all knew. Everytime they got on, the crowds cheered. Even when I make a first edit of this, I hear my neighbor singing it.

The ultra rich should deal with strays
People care deeply about stray animals, whether it's out of love or fear. Yet there are over populations of stray dogs, cats and other animals all over the world. Governments are not motivated to correct this issue, and certainly not in a humane way. It's time some rich guy stepped up.
I left my job and took a long break... and I dont know the consequences of it
I was at my favorite park, Charles Klor, where I often played frisbee with random Jews and Arabs. And, of course, my dog, Naya. Charles Klor is a place where different cultures converge. It splits Jaffa and Tel Aviv propper. Across from it is a large mosque, and it’s common to see people break Ramadan in the park after. Today, the city was setting up stations, stages and more, for a Women’s Run. Workers aside, it was empty. Tons of room for my dog and I to play. As my beautiful, fluffy girl ran from bird flock to bird flock, all I could of was our mutual bliss. Unadulterated by thoughts of work obligations and life stresses.
