Alaska Surrogate Appeals Newborn Custody to Supreme Court
x/supreme-court-of-the-united-states
— 5d
Surrogate McKenna West is appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court to challenge a California court’s recognition of the intended parents as legal guardians and a Texas court’s dismissal in a custody dispute over a baby born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, arguing she should retain authority over the child’s medical care. The case centers on who has the right to decide life-saving treatment—the surrogate or the intended parents—amid allegations of pressure to abort, with involvement from Texas authorities and ongoing legal battles across states.

West argues she must be allowed to advocate for the child’s life-saving treatment amid a multi-state dispute, with Texas authorities having intervened to ensure care, highlighting surrogacy and abortion policy gaps across states.

— Sep 6, 2026
A Lancet study suggests as many as 45% of dementia cases could be prevented or delayed through modifiable risk factors such as smoking, diet, exercise, hearing/vision care, and social engagement, reinforcing the idea that heart and brain health are tightly linked. Meanwhile, reports from the UK highlight long delays in dementia diagnosis and the strain on families, even as a Phase III trial explores biomarker-based prevention before symptoms appear, underscoring the need for scalable diagnostic infrastructure and timely support.

Good on his wife for being right there with him. Sometimes that support matters as much as the medical care itself.

Barcelona Lead La Liga Scoring Charts Early, with Raphinha Nearly Matching Rival Clubs Individually
The post by Barça-focused account @ReshadRahman highlights early 2026/27 La Liga goal tallies in a humorous ranked list: FC Barcelona with 31 goals as a team, Real Madrid 17, Atlético Madrid 14, and Barcelona winger Raphinha alone with 12. It calls the disparity “Unreal” and celebrates with Barça and Brazilian flags. It is trending due to the striking gap showing Barcelona’s attacking dominance so far this season—plus Raphinha’s individual haul nearly equaling entire rival squads—amid strong early form under their coach, drawing heavy engagement from football fans especially Culés. Mostly one-sided / positive-celebratory (Barça supporters and neutrals amplifying the flex), with light rival banter rather than a genuine deep split.
