Mark Wahlberg and Jonathan Roumie Spark Ashes Debate on Ash WednesdayFebruary 22, 2026 5:28 AM Full SummaryThe Catholic actors promoted Hallow's Pray 40 challenge on Ash Wednesday, February 18, 2026, displaying the traditional cross-shaped ashes that remind people 'you are dust, and to dust you shall return.'

Frankfurt Lights Up Streets for Ramadan Amid Lent Overlap DebateFebruary 21, 2026 4:59 PM Full SummaryThe city, home to 130,000 Muslims or 17% of its residents, spent €100,000 on the third-year display in the Freßgass zone to honor community contributions and promote inclusion, as officials like Hilime Arslaner described it a model for diverse societies. Videos of cheering crowds spread widely, with Muslim voices sharing prayers on patience and unity, but critics like Tommy Robinson called for 'remigration' and Rod Dreher decried it as 'civilizational erasure' coinciding with Christian Lent. Similar lights appear in other German cities, highlighting ongoing discussions on multiculturalism and heritage. Key TakeawayOn February 18, Frankfurt switched on crescent moons and lanterns for Ramadan, right as Ash Wednesday began Lent—drawing crowds of 400 to celebrate while igniting online divides over cultural visibility.

Arsenal Drops Points in Late 2-2 Draw at Wolves as Fans Blast MartinelliFebruary 19, 2026 1:29 AM Full SummaryBukayo Saka opened the scoring early with a header from Martinelli's lay-off, and Piero Hincapie made it 2-0 soon after halftime, but Hugo Bueno pulled one back and debutant Tom Edozie leveled in the 90+4th minute via Riccardo Calafiori's own goal. Martinelli assisted the opener and had chances, yet drew ire for heavy touches, poor passes, and no further impact, with fans calling his play stagnant and lacking killer instinct. The draw cuts Arsenal's lead over Manchester City to five points ahead of the North London derby, as Declan Rice showed his fury by ripping off his shirt at full time. Key TakeawayArsenal raced to a 2-0 lead at Molineux, only for a second-half meltdown to hand Wolves a dramatic equalizer in stoppage time. Fans turned their frustration squarely on Gabriel Martinelli's shaky display. Context & EntitiesTopics

Nobel-Winning Autophagy Discovery Ties to Ramadan FastingFebruary 22, 2026 3:38 PM Full SummaryJapanese biologist Yoshinori Ohsumi won the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering autophagy, the process where cells break down and recycle damaged components to survive stress like fasting. Research shows autophagy ramps up after 12-24 hours without food, peaking around 72 hours, aiding cell renewal, reducing inflammation, and supporting metabolic health. Shared widely during Ramadan—which began around February 18—posts connect the science to longstanding Muslim, Hindu, and folk fasting traditions, though experts caution it's no cancer cure and advise consulting doctors for safety. Key TakeawayAs millions reach day five of Ramadan fasting, a post about Yoshinori Ohsumi's Nobel Prize for cellular self-eating has drawn huge attention. It spotlights how the body recycles damaged parts during nutrient scarcity. Context & EntitiesTopics

Resurfaced Footage Reveals Cruelty at UK Halal AbattoirFebruary 20, 2026 2:17 AM Full SummaryIn early 2025, activist Joey Carbstrong secretly filmed 10 days at T&S Abattoir in Arley, capturing workers mistreating sheep: hurling them into walls, blasting wolf howls to terrify them, and letting some suffer conscious for minutes after slaughter without stunning. Expert Jenny L. Mace confirmed breaches of welfare laws, leading to three sackings, a license revocation by the Food Standards Agency, and a police probe with no charges yet. The abattoir, which processed 1,000 sheep weekly for halal meat, faced resident complaints and rejected expansion plans, reigniting demands to end non-stun slaughter amid legal exemptions for religious needs. Key TakeawaySheep slammed against concrete, throats cut while conscious—these hidden horrors from a Warwickshire abattoir have people reeling all over again. Context & EntitiesTopics
