Girl With Multiple Sclerosis Is One Of The Best Runners In America

This week old ESPN short film has inspired viewers, and has already amassed over 4 million hits! Fourteen year old Kayla Montgomery was playing soccer when she noticed something wasn’t right with her legs. She started feeling a weird tingling feeling, and was later diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a serious autoimmune nerve disease. There is no cure. But that didn’t stop Kayla from becoming one of America’s top long distance runners. Her determination and drive is guaranteed to inspire you.

Blind Man Is Also A Card Trick Master




Blind Man Is Also A Card Trick Master

Don’t let Richard Turner fool you.


Though he became blind as a young child, he has truly mastered playing cards. He can perform mind blowing magic card tricks, cheat even the sharpest gamblers right in front of their noses, and more. 


“For years, I practiced 10 to 20 hours a day, 7 days a week.”


His lesson for all: choose an art and master it. 


“No matter what hand you are dealt, let no one tell you what can’t be done,” says an inspired Charlie Rose of CBS This Morning.

A Great Quote I’mma Keep In The Back Of My Mind For When I Feel Like Giving Up On Our Country




When the lights come on in a culture or even just a little village, often there is no way to turn them back off. It’s happened in nearly every corner of every country of the world, and sometimes, it has to happen over and over again until it sticks. Because yeah, there really is no going back.


There is a movie about Cesar Chavez and his life in theaters this year, and it’s something I have been looking forward to for a long time. History is my thang, y’all, especially labor history, and this looks to be amazing. More about that below the graphic, if you’re interested.

Anna Akana’s got some strong words for herself. Her 16-year-old self. She’s learned a lot since then, and only a time machine would make it possible for her to lay all this good truth on her younger self. Oh, well, she can just send this tough-love video.


Warning: Straight talk sometimes requires NSFW language.

The One Thing You Would Never Expect Someone To Say To The Man Who Murdered His Child




Serial killer Gary Ridgway was convicted of the murder of 48 women in December 2003. His grisly crimes make me shiver, but watching the moment raw humanity hits him like a ton of bricks is just … wow. Simply put, I can’t even imagine the strength it would take to do what this father does.

Researchers Find That Chimps Are Better People Than A Lot Of Actual People




If you take a look at politics, it’s easy to see that humans are very much a what-are-you-gonna-do-for-ME kind of species. People usually make decisions based on what they’re going to get out of it. Apparently chimps aren’t quite the same. I was really blown away by the chimps[1:41-2:08]. Does anyone know the best place to find a chimpanzee friend?
