No I can’t hit on no brakes 🛑

I gotta watch this whole interview. That “pressure is a privilege” quote is a bar

you need to leave some space for the universe to surprise you

This is the psycho shit I love about athletes.

@ribzoftiktok “Why you talking to me bro? Idk you” while he shares this story online to strangers 💀

I love the phrase "bear with me" because it can either mean "be patient" or "the zoo heist was a success"

The universe is a time machine and the math on the distance ladder will break your brain. 2,000 light-years gets you Rome. Go to 500 light-years and you're watching the Black Plague consume Europe in real time. At 80 light-years, you catch World War II. At 4.24 light-years, the nearest star system, Alpha Centauri, the light arriving right now left Earth in 2022. Someone there is watching us argue about whether GPT-4 is sentient. Now scale that in the other direction. The Andromeda Galaxy is 2.5 million light-years away. An observer there right now sees Earth before modern humans existed. They're watching early hominids figure out stone tools. They have no idea what's coming. The closest alien civilization is statistically estimated at 33,000 light-years away. They would be watching humans invent agriculture for the first time. Writing hasn't been invented yet. Cities don't exist. From their perspective, we are a species that just figured out how to plant wheat. Here's what makes the physics cruel. To actually see a human-sized object on Earth from just 20 light-years away, you'd need a telescope array roughly 100 million kilometers across. That's more than half the diameter of Earth's orbit around the Sun. To see Rome from 2,000 light-years? The optics required would be larger than our solar system. The light is real. The photons that bounced off Roman soldiers are still traveling outward at 300,000 km/s right now, carrying that information forever. The universe has a perfect recording of every moment in Earth's history, expanding in all directions at the speed of light. The problem was never distance. The problem is that no civilization, no matter how advanced, can build a lens big enough to read it.

imma buy 2 seats so i can sit like this in the theater

my dog before anyone even knocks on the door

Sometimes you need a shot to be repeated over and over to notice things about it. And the thing I notice here is that the web animation is so good. It feels like it has real material weight to it. Not a magical straight line. You can see it impact the off-screen surface. Perfect.

The music your parents played growing up stays with you for the rest of your life.

2016 anytime somebody wanted to shoot I was there 😭🔥

2016 you really had to be there.

I wish strangers lingered after the movie ends in the theatre and debrief the movie together

having ideas is easy. extracting them from the safety of your mind and transforming them into something real where the unforgiving world awaits is difficult.

I need to sit by moving water about this
