I used to think acting in Sci-fi shows like Stargate SG1 was 'out there'.
When you look at today's world it can be even more surreal.

World Health Day - Wikipedia


2026 Theme: Together for Health. Stand with Science


'Together for Health' means recognizing that our greatest progress has always come when we trust knowledge, invest in research, and support the systems that protect us all.


'Standing with Science' takes the human journey out of the Dark Ages of healing into modern medicine, sometimes thoughtfully blending the wisdom of the past with the breakthroughs of the present.


This includes supporting innovation and government funding for research and development - now in jeopardy under the current administration. For all the reasons DOGE and others have argued that money was wasted - the reality is that those very investments have led to extraordinary gains, longer life expectancy, breakthroughs in disease prevention, and treatments that once seemed impossible.


It also includes the value of AI in the development of new treatments, early detection methods, and personalized care that can transform lives.


In the end, both 2026 themes are a call to protect the foundation of how we heal, consciously evolve, and move forward as we seek understanding of our purpose here.

Human Behavior - Who tends to curse a lot?


Many people use the "F" word as a noun, verb, adjective, or adverb from time to time most often to vent in the moment.


As a norm it's people who - - grew up in environments where that kind of language was the norm, people dealing with emotional or anger issues, people under the influence, drivers and others stuck in stressful situations, those who are easily triggered or reactive, people in high-pressure professions, people who use humor or sarcasm as a coping mechanism, and highly expressive passionate personalities who use strong language to emphasize their thoughts or feelings.


And now we add this to the list ... the President of the US dropped an "F" bomb on Iran yesterday, Easter Sunday.


Trump came across as a frustrated figure - someone used to getting his way - now reacting to declining ratings and mounting global criticism over a war many see as a diversion. To put it bluntly, his anger and frustration felt palpable, not unlike a child lashing out when things don't go their way.


To the world, Trump's message on Easter Sunday struck many as profanely embarrassing, with a tone that felt overly aggressive and performative. His administration has yet to present a clear, coherent rationale for the war - leaving behind speculation rather than a defined plan. For voters in the United States who supported him based on campaign promises, this lack of clarity raises concerns, especially as the country moves closer to midterm elections.


Many political observers believe the Democratic Party could regain control of the House - and possibly the Senate - as frustration grows. Since his reelection, Trump has maintained a tight grip on his party, but whether that influence holds amid increasing criticism remains an open question.
