Re: What Made You Smile Today?
It is a slightly sad smile. In front of City Hall today, I observed a grounds maintenance person working around the tree where the man was killed earlier this year. I was there just as he was finishing up. He got down on his knees and collected various items and carefully placed them back around the tree. That is a kind person.

Way back in the 1980's I bought my dad (100% German) a coffee mug that says, "A grouchy German is a Sour Kraut." He still has it and uses it every day. hahaha

That is hilarious! Will watch it again.
Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.

Yes
The three women pictured in this incredible photograph taken on this day in 1885 - Anandibai Joshi of India, Keiko Okami of Japan, and Sabat Islambouli of Syria each became the first licensed female doctors in their respective countries. The three were students at the Women’s Medical College of Pennsylvania; one of the only places in the world at the time where women could study medicine.
As Mallika Rao writes in HuffPost, "If the timing doesn't seem quite right, that's understandable. In 1885, women in the U.S. still couldn't vote, nor were they encouraged to learn very much. Popular wisdom decreed that studying was a threat to motherhood." Given this, how did three women from around the world end up studying there to become doctors? The credit, according to Christopher Woolf of PRI's The World, goes to the Quakers who "believed in women’s rights enough to set up the WMCP way back in 1850 in Germantown.”
Woolf added, "It was the first women’s medical college in the world, and immediately began attracting foreign students unable to study medicine in their home countries. First they came from elsewhere in North America and Europe, and then from further afield. Women, like Joshi in India and Keiko Okami in Japan, heard about WMCP, and defied expectations of society and family to travel independently to America to apply, then figure out how to pay for their tuition and board... . Besides the international students, it also produced the nation’s first Native American woman doctor, Susan La Flesche, while African Americans were often students as well. Some of whom, like Eliza Grier, were former slaves."

Hadn't seen the wonky donkey one, didn't realize that the Scottish Granny is a thing on YouTube but her laugh and her deadpan grandson crack me up.
