867-5309 Phone Number Gets New Purpose In Life
People— A famous phone number from pop music is getting a meaningful revival. Tommy Heath, frontman of Tommy Tutone, has teamed up with the Cancer Support Community and Gilda’s Club to transform 867-5309—the number from the band’s 1981 hit—into a free cancer support helpline. By calling CSC-867-5309 (272-867-5309), individuals affected by cancer can connect with trained professionals who provide information, emotional support, and guidance to helpful resources. Inspired by his own experiences with family members who have had cancer and his current minor skin cancer diagnosis, Heath says he hopes the initiative both gives back to fans and offers comfort, optimism, and a lasting positive impact.

X.com— Investigative journalist Nick Shirley released a new video on Monday alleging $170 million in fraud tied to California’s Medicaid program, Medi-Cal. He noted that while the state’s population has not surged, Medi-Cal spending has more than doubled from $108 billion in 2022 to a proposed $222 billion by 2026, alongside a reported 1,000% increase in hospice care in Los Angeles County, suggesting potential fraud in the hundreds of billions. Shirley documented visits to supposed hospices in Los Angeles and daycare centers in San Diego, including an encounter where a Somali daycare operator called police after he questioned the absence of children. He also referenced a previous investigation in December in which he claimed to have uncovered over $110 million in alleged Somali-linked fraud in Minnesota in a single day.

Your Tango— People who grew up in the 1980s and 1990s developed distinct mental habits shaped by a childhood that was less structured, less digital, and more independent, influencing how they think, cope, and connect as adults. They learned to entertain themselves without screens, developed patience by waiting for what they wanted, and built problem-solving skills through independent play with peers. Face-to-face interactions helped them read social cues, while small physical risks and time spent in public spaces like malls encouraged confidence and social growth. Unstructured free time fueled creativity, and handling conflicts directly strengthened communication skills. Experiencing boredom in the real world built resilience, while less parental supervision fostered self-reliance and deeper, in-person social bonds.
