A post highlighted a word in a 5th-century Syriac lectionary manuscript, interpreted by some as "Mnhammna" or "the praised one" referring to Muhammad as prophesied by Jesus. Critics countered that the word ܡܢܚܡܢܐ (mnaḥmānā) means "Comforter" from the Semitic root n-ḥ-m, translating the Greek Parakletos for the Holy Spirit in John 14:26. Discussions emphasized linguistic differences, biblical context identifying the Comforter as the Holy Spirit dwelling in believers, and historical refutations like St. Dionysius Bar Salibi's response.

City offices closed April 3 for Good Friday, listed on the 2026 schedule as 'Spring Holiday,' prompting conservatives to contrast a deleted, plain X post with Mayor John Whitmire's ornate Eid al-Fitr greeting from March.

Defenders noted 'Spring Holiday' as longstanding neutral phrasing to respect church-state separation, while Houston also posted Passover greetings; neither the mayor's office nor city has responded publicly.

A VA study of over 1 million veterans found the 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine cut COVID-linked major heart events by 37.7%, with stronger 50.7% effectiveness in those over 75 and small absolute reductions like 2 fewer events per 10,000. Published June 15, 2026, in JAMA Internal Medicine, it tracked mostly older men after shots in late 2024, showing benefits for high-risk groups but drawing skeptic fire over tiny absolute gains, healthy vaccinee bias, and observational limits. Lead author Ziyad Al-Aly stressed skipping shots leaves heart protection untapped, while critics like Alex Berenson dismissed the relative risk figures as misleading.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

For older veterans, getting the updated COVID shot alongside their flu vaccine meant fewer heart attacks and strokes tied to infections. The findings highlight real protection, especially for those over 75.

Cambridge University honored barrister Philippe Sands with a Doctorate in Law, praising his work in international law, including his role advising Mauritius against the UK over the Chagos Archipelago.

Critics called the award tone-deaf, with posts decrying it as rewarding a 'Chagos sell-out' and questioning the optics alongside honors like Angela Merkel's.
