When he showed up to an immigration meeting in Memphis, Kasper Eriksen thought he was on the verge of becoming a citizen.

Go to DCUnited r/DCUnited • 9 hr. ago tjmitchell251 Literally got crapped on at the game last night My wife and I attended the game last night (3/29) against Columbus. We sat in Section 108, row 3, seats 9-10. Around the 80th minute, we were quite literally crapped on all over while sitting in our seats. When I looked up into the rafters, I saw a large bird's nest tucked into the light fixture. Whatever was in that nest had rained down poop everywhere. This was not just some sparrow. It had to have been big. Poop got on my jeans. It got on my scarf. It smeared all over my wife's purse and pants too. It splattered on to the fans next to us as well. I love wildlife. I don't want to hurt any birds. But this was so gross. I did not have "getting bird poop all over me" on my match day Bingo card. These seats should just be blocked off until its resolved. I've reached out to DCU guest services and I hope they can figure out a kind solution. But figured I'd post here too. Avoid these seats unless you want bird poop raining down on you.
go birds

water with 0.7 grams of fluoride for every 1,000,000 grams of water.
The claim? It’s harmful.
The reality? It isn’t ⬇️
An adult would need to consume 357 LITERS of that water A DAY to have a possible risk of adverse effects from fluoride.

Dementia & Exercise: 4 Helpful Tips 1. Keep it the same: do the same exercises in the same place during the same time of the day. 2. Avoid over-correcting them: try not to say "don't do it like that." Instead, gently cue them by modeling the correct technique. 3. Participate with them: do the exercises with them, count with them, and provide simple cues. 4. Give positive feedback: you want them to feel positive for all attempts made.

A two-month-old has died from whooping cough in Queensland amid the state's worst epidemic in years. Vaccination rates have dipped since 2020 across Australia.
My heart goes out to the parents and family. How tragic.
Vaccines save lives.
