Israel just bombed a residential neighborhood in Beirut, violated Security Council resolution SCR 1701, the ceasefire agreement, and international law with absolutely no consequences. This is another war crime and the International Criminal Court remains silent.

Voyager 1 is 24 billion kilometers from Earth. It communicates with us using a 23-watt transmitter. Less than a refrigerator light bulb. The signal takes 22 hours to reach us, traveling at the speed of light. By the time it arrives, it's 20 billion times weaker than the power of a digital watch battery. NASA's Deep Space Network picks it up using 70-meter dish antennas cooled to near absolute zero to reduce electronic noise. The engineering required to hear a 23-watt signal from 24 billion km away is arguably more impressive than the spacecraft itself. Launched 1977. Still transmitting. Still being heard. We built something that works perfectly, 47 years later, in conditions no one has ever tested in. That's what engineering for the long term looks like.

The Republicans had everything in 2025 and 2026. Everything. The House. The Senate. The Presidency. They did absolutely NOTHING with it to benefit the American people. If that doesn't prove to you the existence of the uniparty, nothing ever will.

Die Russin Mirra Andrejeva (19) gewann das Tennisturnier in Roland Garros. Erstmals in der Geschichte hat der ÖRR das Finale nicht berichtet - weil sie eine Russin ist. Auf den Tribünen waren russische Fahnen verboten, wer das nicht beachtet hat, der hat Bekanntschaft mit der Security gemacht und musste sie einpacken. Ebenso durfte nicht die russische Nationalhymne gespielt werden. Ich finde dass das eine Schande ist, es geht um die Leistung und Politik sollte nicht mit Sport vermischt werden.

Clubbing is dead and has been replaced by fitness & wellness. Ppl used to party to socialize and date but now they do things like HYROX, bathhouses, and running raves. The death of clubbing is something to be studied: — US has lost 12% of its nightclubs in the last 24 months — 25% of US adults didn’t drink at all last year — Gen Z drinks 30% less than Millennials did at the same age On the flip side: — According to Strava, the number of running clubs recorded on the platform increased 3.5x in 2025 — 72% of Gen Z go to run clubs to meet new people — Sauna and spa market: $11.8B → $22.4B by 2034 The post-alcohol economy is gonna be a massive category.

Civilian deaths in wars: Russia-Ukraine: 20% Palestine: 83% Lebanon: 80% Civilians are not a target in Ukraine, Palestine, Lebanon, and beyond, but does the world condemn the killing of civilians or is it complicated when it is Middle Eastern civilians?

Jeff Bezos reveals why compromise is one of the worst ways to resolve a disagreement "An example of a really bad way of coming to agreement is compromise. If I say the ceiling is 11 feet and you say 12 feet, we say let's call it 11 and a half. That's compromise" "The advantage of compromise is it's low energy. But it doesn't lead to truth" "Another really bad resolution mechanism is who's more stubborn. Two executives disagree, they have a war of attrition, and whichever one gets exhausted first capitulates. You haven't arrived at truth, and this is very demoralizing" "Escalation is better than a war of attrition. Escalate to your boss and say, we can't agree, we like each other, we're respectful, but we strongly disagree, we need you to make a decision" "Exhausting the other person is not truth seeking. Compromise is not truth seeking"

@atensnut Wow - He cleaned a pool. You should have higher standards! For example: no Epstein crimes. No new wars.

Everything is better with Trump 🇺🇸🇺🇸

@karolineleavitt Really Karoline? You think Donald Trump is a good President? You deserve better.

We took a family trip to the Lincoln Monument tonight to check out the new reflecting pool. Absolutely stunning. DC is so beautiful again, just in time for our Nation’s 250th. Thank you, President Trump!! 🇺🇸

The car that used to be in my garage is currently in an Earth-Mars elliptical orbit and will be there for at least 10 million years

@CoachDanGo Exactly! Better than a Ferrari 😉

The biggest flex is maintaining your physical youth while watching everyone else around you get older.

They accidentally dropped their wedding cake, but her husband's reaction confirms she's got a good one.

Jetzt geht das wieder los

@DearS_o_n Exactly :-) So true

Nobody claps for a man while he is building. His family doubts him and friends disappear. Then one year, results speak and everyone acts like they believed in him. Crazyyy.

What happened to President Trump? From the Iran war to the Epstein files, to MAHA & mass deportations- what explains all of the reversals? It is critical that we look past the emotions & ask the hard questions, because the answers will tell us who truly runs our nation.

Roger Waters, Pink Floyd co-founder: "I'm ready to admit I break down in tears every morning for Gaza." "Because I'm 80 years old — and I've never witnessed the genocide of an entire people before my eyes every single day." 🎸🇵🇸💔🔥
