Vittoria Hunter and her family have a tradition of eating at their local Waffle House in Little Rock every weekend. For about a year, they have requested to sit with their son Kayzen’s favorite waiter, Devonte Gardner.

According to The Washington Post, 8-year-old Kayzen looks forward to joking around with Devonte and giving him high fives.

"Devonte always treats everyone with kindness, and he always knows exactly what I want: hash browns with cheese and eggs with cheese,” Kayzen said in an interview.

A few months ago, during a Waffle House visit with his grandfather, Kayzen learned more about Gardner’s life.

One major detail being that Gardner had been walking several miles a day to and from work and living in a motel room with his wife and two daughters. He had to move out of an apartment that was infested with rats and contaminated with black mold.

"Devonte said he wondered if anyone might know where he could buy a cheap car — he’d been having a hard time saving for one,” Kayzen recalls.

Kayzen was upset about his friend’s situation and told his mom that he wanted to start a GoFundMe to help Devonte get a car. Vittoria recalls her son not giving up and shared that “he’s a kid with a big heart.”

On February 18th, his mom agreed to help him set up a GoFundMe page to collect $5,000 to purchase a new car. His story soon got attention when local news stations discovered the campaign.

Now the fundraiser has collected $100,000 in donations! 29-year-old Gardner said, “I started crying — I’d been quietly struggling and didn’t want to ask anybody for anything.”

He explained how he uses his gratuities to pay his motel bill and expenses.

"We had to give up most of our belongings because of the mold, but we’re slowly working our way back." Gardner said, "I love working at Waffle House because I have an opportunity to make people feel good every day. I love the people who come in, especially Kayzen. For this little guy to do this out of the kindness of his heart is really humbling."

On Friday, Judge Clifton Newman sentenced Alex Murdaugh to two consecutive life sentences for the murders of his wife and son.

The sentencing comes less than 24 hours after a jury found the former lawyer guilty in the 2021 slayings of Maggie Murdaugh and Paul Murdaugh.

“Today’s verdict proves that no one, no one — no matter who you are in society — is above the law,” the state attorney general, Alan Wilson, said at a news conference after the verdict.

The trial has been followed closely by many across the country. Netflix’s latest true crime documentary focuses on the sinister case of Murdaugh.

On June 7, 2021, Alex Murdaugh called 911 from his property in Islandton, South Carolina, to report that he had found his 22-year-old son Paul and his wife Maggie, 52, murdered.

There was a long list of evidence that worked against his claims of not being around the dog kennels that his wife and son died at. However in court, witnesses identified Murdaugh's voice in a video taken by Paul at the kennel around 8:45 p.m. – minutes before investigators say the shooting started.

Evidence was also repeatedly mishandled. Maggie was with her family prior to the murder, and her sister testified that Alex called her to come home.

Jurors also watched a short Snapchat video from Paul, showing his father wearing a blue shirt and long khaki pants about an hour before the murders. Those clothes have never been found.

Cellphone data also shows Murdaugh in a burst of activity starting at 9:02 p.m., when he took 283 steps in four minutes. That's immediately after the time experts say the murders took place.

Murdaugh faces a number of other accusations that are not part of this murder trial such as allegedly arranging his own death for an insurance payout. He faces another trial in the future over numerous financial crimes, including fraud, money laundering, tax evasion and forgery.

We love to see it ! Dave Grohl showed his support for ‘Hope the Mission’ by barbecuing for more than 16 hours to feed homeless people in Los Angeles. Accompanied by his friends, the Foo Fighters lead cooked over 450 meals.

Grohl arrived with a massive smoker trailer, which they used to make smoked brisket, ribs, pork butts and sides like coleslaw and barbecue beans. He also personally paid for all the expenses and barbecued outside during the rain storm that hit California on Wednesday.

TMZ reported that Grohl spent 16 hours in the kitchen and caught naps in the parking lot while the meat was smoking. He helped served the food, which fed around 450 guests and 50 staff members.

“In the middle of our 350 mile run to end homelessness, we got the coolest video ever from Dave Grohl, of the Foo Fighters. Not only did he wish us luck, but he cooked for hundreds of people who live in our shelters in the middle of one of the worst storms,” the group’s boss, Rowan Vansleve, wrote on Wednesday alongside a video of Grohl.

*Trigger Warning*
On Wednesday, a man who spent more than 38 years behind bars for a murder he did not commit was declared innocent.

Last year, Maurice Hastings was released from prison after DNA evidence that spent years untested pointed to a different suspect. In October, the judge vacated Hastings' conviction.

Prosecutors and Hastings' lawyers returned to court to ask Judge William C. Ryan to take the additional step and declare him innocent of the killing 40 years ago. On Wednesday, the judge declared Hastings as “factually innocent” meaning the evidence proves conclusively that Hastings didn't commit the crime.

"It means a lot. I'm grateful for the judge's ruling, and the apologies — everything has been wonderful today," Hastings said. “I’m ready to move on with my life. I'm a happy man today."

The victim in the 1983 murder was Roberta Wydermyer who was s*xually assaulted and killed by a single gunshot to the head. Her body was found in the trunk of her vehicle in the city of Inglewood.

According to CBS News, Hastings was charged with special-circumstance murder, and the district attorney's office sought the death penalty, but the jury deadlocked. The second jury convicted him and he was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. Hastings maintained his innocence throughout his imprisonment.

He was constantly denied DNA testing but later in 2021 DNA testing of the semen showed it was not his. The DNA matched a man named Kenneth Packnett who was convicted of kidnapping and died in prison in 2020.

Hastings was 69 when he walked out of prison last October and told reporters, “I am not standing up here a bitter man, but I just want to enjoy my life now while I have it.”

On Wednesday, TikTok announced that every user under 18 will have their accounts default to a 60-minute daily screen time limit very soon.

According to the company, the change is intended to help teens limit their screen time and be more intentional about how much of their day they spend on TikTok.

"We believe digital experiences should bring joy and play a positive role in how people express themselves, discover ideas, and connect. We're improving our screen time tool with more custom options, introducing new default settings for teen accounts, and expanding Family Pairing with more parental controls.," said Cormac Keenan, TikTok's head of trust and safety.

Keenan added that "there's no collectively-endorsed position on the 'right' amount of screen time or even the impact of screen time more broadly”, however their decision on the 60-minute default was a result of consulting academic research and experts from the Digital Wellness Lab at Boston Children's Hospital.

Users under 18 can continue using the app after the time limit if they enter a passcode, but the company says that forces users to "make an active decision to extend that time." Users under 13 will also have a 60-minute daily limit, and a parent or guardian can enter a passcode that extends their daily usage for another half hour.

The app will send every teen account a weekly recap of their screen time, and it will also prompt teen users who spend more than 100 minutes on the app to set a daily limit.

On Wednesday, Eli Lilly announced it will cut prices of its insulin by 70% with a cap on the out-of-pocket costs to $35 a month. Experts say this move could inspire other insulin makers to follow in action. This change is said to take effect immediately.

Insulin costs in the U.S. are notoriously high compared to the costs in other countries. For this reason, Insulin makers continue to face pressure from Congress and advocacy groups to lower the cost of its lifesaving medication.

The Inflation Reduction Act capped insulin prices for Medicare beneficiaries at $35 per month but did not protect people with private insurance or who don’t have coverage from higher prices.

Eli Lily’s cap automatically applies to people with private insurance. People without insurance will be eligible as long as they sign up for Eli Lilly’s copay assistance program.

Meet Angela Rafuse! She helps the elderly re-home their pets to find their second forever home and just celebrated her 100th adoption!

The 28-year-old was inspired to create her non-profit ‘My Grandfather’s Cat’ after her 85-year-old grandfather died, leaving his cat, Mackie without a home. No one in her family wanted to take her in so Angela chose to adopt her.

She began to post videos on TikTok and soon enough her page grew to more than 656,000 followers. Many people commented about how their grandparent’s pets had to go into shelters after they passed. In an interview with GoodNewsNetwork, she said, “It was like a divine intervention. I knew this is what I should do.”

Angela’s nonprofit, ‘My Grandfather’s Cat’, coordinates adoptions of dogs and cats belonging to seniors who are either terminally ill or wishing to enter a retirement home. Since her launch date, she has brought peace of mind to 100 pet owners.

Most seniors are referred to My Grandfather’s Cat by care homes or shelters. They submit an application and the team then writes a profile to post on social media. Then her team interviews people who might be interested and could be a good fit. The seniors have the opportunity to interview as well.

“The senior then picks their pet’s second forever home—and the adoptees can stay in touch with the new owner who will share updates,” she says.

Are you in a long-distance relationship and miss kissing your partner? Well..a Chinese University has created a remote kissing device that may provide a solution. While some social media users found the device to be funny, others criticized it as “creepy.” What do you think PULP Fam?

The Changzhou Vocational Institute of Mechatronic Technology created the device that uses a set of silicon lips to replicate the pressure, movement and temperature of a kiss that is then replicated by a corresponding device via a smartphone app.

"In my university, I was in a long distance relationship with my girlfriend so we only had contact with each other through the phone. That's where the inspiration of this device originated," Jiang Zhongli, who led the team that created the device, told China's state-run Global Times.

The device is $41 and is available on a Chinese shopping site Taobao.

Three Texas high-school students have made a difference in the life of their 80-year-old school janitor.

Greyson Thurman, Marti Yousko and Banner Tidwell of Callisburg High School shared a TikTok of Mr.James. The video showed him pushing a mop and a garbage can down the halls of the school.

Mr.James came out of retirement to work because of the $400 monthly increase for his rent.

"My classmates and I hate seeing Mr. James here," Thurman captioned the TikTok video. “No one his age should have to be cleaning our messes up to continue to live."

The students started a GoFundMe page with an initial goal of $10,000 before raising it to $80,000 after seeing the support from people. The fundraiser closed on Friday with a total of $270,970 from more than 8,600 donors.

Greyson updated the GoFundMe with , “Thanks so much to everyone that has donated and spread the word to help Mr. James. You all have made a huge impact on him that will forever change his life.”

Georgia could soon give “the boot” to booting cars! A bipartisan group of state lawmakers has filed legislation to completely ban the booting of vehicles in the state.

Democratic State Senator Josh McLaurin of Sandy Springs introduced Senate Bill 247 because he believes the practice is overused and abused.

Senate Bill 247 specifically bans towing and storage companies to use immobilization devices on cars that are improperly parked.

“It’s so low cost to the property owners that a lot of times booting companies will put boots on cars that they’re not sure are unauthorized,” McLaurin said. “So you’ve got tons of people who actually pay the fee or their invitees or guests of the property, and they’re still getting booted because it’s much easier for the property owner to just let the driver and the booting company figure it out than care about the inconvenience.”

“If the whole point of this is that the car is not supposed to be parked somewhere because it’s taking space, how is the solution to trap the car there,” he continued.

The bill will be assigned to a Senate committee on Monday.

On Wednesday, a Los Angeles judge sentenced the man convicted for the 2019 first-degree murder of rapper Nipsey Hussle to 60 years to life in prison.

Superior Court Judge H. Clay Jacke II sentenced Eric R. Holder following a hearing from one of Hussle’s friends and listening to a letter from Holder’s father that was read in court.

According to the Associated Press, jurors in July also convicted Holder of two counts of attempted voluntary manslaughter and two counts of assault with a firearm for gunfire that hit two other men at the scene who survived.

Working less for more is slowly becoming a reality globally. The world’s largest trial of a four-day workweek in Britain showed that 92% of companies involved considered it a success and plan to continue utilizing it.

According to the Associated Press, the companies participated in the trial from June to December and noticed that most employees felt less stressed and had better work-life balance.

Findings released this week showed that companies reported their revenue largely stayed the same during the trial period last year and even grew compared with the same six months a year earlier.

“We feel really encouraged by the results, which showed the many ways companies were turning the four-day week from a dream into a realistic policy, with multiple benefits,” said David Frayne, research associate at University of Cambridge, who helped lead the team conducting employee interviews for the trial. “We think there is a lot here that ought to motivate other companies and industries to give it a try.”

On Thursday, the Spanish parliament approved a law allowing those with debilitating period pain to take paid "menstrual leave" from work.

The law grants the right to a three-day “menstrual” leave of absence - with the possibility of extending it to five days - for those with disabling periods, which can cause severe cramps, nausea, dizziness and even vomiting.

Employees are required to provide a doctor's note to verify the illness, while the country's social security system will compensate workers for time missed from the job.

Other countries across the globe that also allow menstrual leave include Japan, Indonesia, South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, and Zambia.

Spain’s new law is a part of a broader package on s*xual and reproductive rights that includes allowing anyone 16 and over to get an abortion or freely change their gender on their ID card. The package also includes schools and prisons offering free period products.

Tahir Johnson has been arrested three times for ma*****na possession. Now the 39-year-old will be one of the first people with a ma*****na-related conviction to own and operate a legal dispensary in New Jersey.

Next month, Johnson will be opening Simply Pure Trenton in his hometown of Ewing.(In the photo to the right he is pictured in front of his store) Last year, he was among about a dozen in the state to win a conditional license because of his status as a “social equity applicant.”

According to CNBC, New Jersey is prioritizing granting licenses to dispensaries run by minorities, women and disabled veterans; dispensaries located in “impact zones” or communities disproportionately impacted by policing and ma*****na arrests; and dispensaries run by people with prior ma*****na convictions.

“It’s a full circle moment,” said Johnson in an interview with CNBC. “The generational wealth this will create for my family is surreal.”

Tesla has issued a recall for over 362,000 cars due to a faulty Full Self-Driving driver-assistance system.

According to the New York Times, the cars will now have to be updated after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released data showing the driving system has boosted the chance of accidents.

Although the system is called Full Self-Driving, the technology still requires the driver to be in control of the car in case of traffic, an accident, or a system glitch.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the “Full Self-Driving” system allows the car to steer, accelerate, brake, and change lanes by itself, ultimately permitting the car to operate in an “unlawful” manner.

Data released last summer revealed that around 400 vehicles with advanced driver-assistance technology were involved in accidents between July 1, 2021 and May 15, 2022.

“Since we announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD). Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces. While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis,” his family wrote in a statement on the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration’s website.

Plant-based McNuggets are launching soon to McDonald’s! The fast food restaurant will be introducing the nuggets made of peas, corn, wheat and tempura butter. Germany will be the first market to get them.

McPlant Nuggets are the second product McDonald's has co-developed with Beyond Meat. McDonald's has been selling a McPlant burger in limited locations since 2021.

McDonald’s says the availability of the McPlant nuggets and burger in future markets will depend on customer demand.

According to the Associated Press, European customers have been more receptive to McDonald's plant-based meat products than those in the U.S.

The McPlant burger is now a permanent menu item in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Austria and the Netherlands. Last month, McDonald's rolled out the Double McPlant burger in the U.K. and Ireland.

Marvel’s president Kevin Feige confirmed in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that a fourth Tom Holland-led Spider-Man movie is in development and currently being written.

“All I will say is that we have the story. We have big ideas for that and our writers are just putting pen to paper now,” Feige shared.

In October, Holland said that ‘No Way Home’ was viewed “as the end of a franchise.” He continued, “I think if we were lucky enough to dive into these characters again, you’d be seeing a very different version. It would no longer be the Homecoming trilogy. We would give it some time and try to build something different and tonally change the films. Whether that happens or not, I don’t know. But we were definitely treating [Spider-Man: No Way Home] like it was coming to an end, and it felt like it.”

A new form of birth control for men is showing promising results in lab mice. According to a study published in the peer-reviewed medical journal ‘Nature’ , the mice are "temporarily infertile" via a single injectable dose.

In the study, the authors point out that the only available birth control options for people with pen*ses are condoms and a vasectomy. The study continues with, “Nearly half of all pregnancies are unintended; thus, existing family planning options are inadequate.”

“Most current efforts to develop new contraceptives for men impact s***m development, meaning that contraception requires months of continuous pretreatment. Here, we provide proof-of-concept for an innovative strategy for on-demand contraception, where a man would take a birth control pill shortly before s*x, only as needed,” the study states.

According to the study, the team at Weill-Cornell found that injections of the new drug could temporarily pause fertility in male mice by inhibiting the movement of soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC), a cell enzyme that "is essential for s***m motility and maturation.”

In previous attempts, male birth control found an approximately 95% success rate at preventing unwanted pregnancy through hormone-based methods but eventually were abandoned due to “unwanted side effects.”

"Here, we now show that administration of a single dose of an acutely-acting sAC inhibitor into male mice rapidly and temporarily inactivates s***m movement and renders the mice temporarily infertile," reads the study.

It is unclear when the new birth control drug will be cleared for human clinical trials.

Several companies in Germany are transforming their work style with a concept known as “New Work.” This concept is a re-imagining the often hierarchical structures in the business world to make things more humane for workers.

According to EuroNews, the concept is based on individuals taking responsibility for doing their jobs themselves; job descriptions aren’t written in stone, and neither are working conditions.

Einhorn, a company in Germany that makes vegan condoms, was a pioneer in Germany for this business model. Markus Wörner shared how he previously worked at a company where he had to punch a card to show when he started and finished his shift. He noticed how the flexibility at Einhorn made his life less stressful. For example, when he became a father, he took more time off without needing to ask permission.

Einhorn also established a “People’s council”, where decisions are made by the company’s workers through long discussion. Last year, the company also decided to go down to a four-day week day without cutting pay. It was originally a six-month test but the results of productivity were so good that they made it permanent.

Now, several German start-ups are putting the “New Work” model into action and seeing success within their companies.

A manager of a Northern California gas station was fired after he accidentally set the gas price to 69 cents a gallon. John Szczecina mistakenly placed the decimal in the wrong spot for gas that was supposed to be $6.99 a gallon. "I put all three prices on there, except the diesel. The last one kind of didn't go. So, I just took responsibility for it and said yeah, it's my fault," Szczecina said. Hundreds of drivers filled their tanks when they saw how cheap it was. The pricing error reportedly cost the gas station $16,000. Szczecina said he's worried the station owners will sue him for lost revenue. Source: ABC News

This week, a Wisconsin man celebrated eating McDonald’s Big Macs every day for 50 years. On May 17, 1972, Donald Gorske drove to his local McDonald’s in Fond du Lac after buying a car off his father. “In that moment I said ‘I’m going to probably eat these for the rest of my life,” Gorske told Guinness. Gorske has since eaten a Big Mac almost every day, except for eight days, which include discovering that a location was closed in 1982 after driving through a snowstorm and intentionally skipping a day to honor the death of his mother. His Guinness record for most Big Macs eaten in a lifetime was officially established in 1999 when it stood at 15,490. In August 2021, Gorske’s record was updated to 32,340 Big Macs. According to Complex News, he has eaten a Big Mac in all 50 states and Canada, as well as a few other countries. Gorske returned to the place where the love affair started to celebrate their 50-year anniversary, and was greeted by a sign outside the restaurant that read “Congrats Don on 50 years of Macs.” Source: Guinness, Complex News

Pinky Cole, the founder of Slutty Vegan, gifted LLCs to the Clark Atlanta University graduating class of 2022, encouraging them to go down the same entrepreneurship path that she followed. "Every single graduate in this audience will leave this stadium as a business owner," she said. In the commencement address, Cole told the graduates of her own hardships after she herself graduated from Clark Atlanta in 2009. She shared that she went to Houston to work for a teaching organization, needing to take just any job that came along, and "all it took was five days for me to realize I was not cut out to be a classroom teacher." She then shared how she had to borrow $40 from a friend to go to the airport not knowing what the future held. An airline employee encountered her crying, she said, and went and got her $240 to get her on a plane home. Why am I telling you this? I'm telling you this because 13 years later, that same broken and broke little girl now owns and operates not one, but two multimillion-dollar businesses in the middle of a pandemic," Cole told the graduates. "I'm telling this to you, the class of 2022," she said, "that I want you to fail. I want you to fail so hard you become an expert in failure and you get a PhD in failology, I want you to fail because failing is not failing at all - it is finding aspiration in the losses.” At the end of her address, she revealed to the graduating class that she had partnered with Varo Bank to purchase the LLCs. The cost was reportedly more than $400,000. Source: 11 Alive News
