@CinemaTweets1 And then they ruined the ending.

I still think about Ralph Fiennes’s performance in Conclave. God, he was so good here. I’m not sure if he deserved the Oscar over Brody but this is as good of a performance as I can remember from an actor who’s spent his life on stage or in front of a camera. What a performance.

@HistoryWJacob @EchoesofWarYT Find time to make it to the Lincoln Museum. It’s extremely moving.

This is what Abraham Lincoln's boyhood home looked like. Only in America can someone ascend from a backwoods cabin to the White House.

@miles_commodore Manifest Destiny too

100 years ago, the three biggest states in America were New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. Today it's California, Texas, and Florida. In my opinion air conditioning changed the entire country. It's an underrated invention.

@Andrewnsnyder I can’t wait for Kevin Hart to portray him in the upcoming series.

I will judge you based on your opinion of this man.

@MinuteofZombie Sphere is due for a high quality reboot. Maybe David Harbour?

“The Heart of the Island” - Lost “The Artifact” - Eureka “The Monolith” - 2001 “The Box” - Primer “The Sphere” - Sphere “The Tesseract” - Interstellar “Flux Capacitor” - Back to the Future “Bootstrap Objects” - Dark

@TylerPurcell24 Don’t forget the $80k truck to pull it.

Look, I’m a boat guy, but who in the heck is buying $400k wake boats? I’d rather have a few cool cars. Not to mention it probably drops $100k in value the second it’s “used”.

@DiscussingFilm Kevin Hart to be casted as Tom Bombadil.

A sequel movie to the ‘LORD OF THE RINGS’ trilogy is officially in the works. Plot synopsis — 14 years after the passing of Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin set out to retrace the first steps of their adventure. Meanwhile, Sam’s daughter, Elanor, has discovered a long-buried secret and is determined to uncover why the War of the Ring was very nearly lost before it even began. Stephen Colbert is co-writing the script.

@callmeMaharani Cigarette smoke. You almost have to go looking for it anymore.

What is a sound or smell that doesn’t exist anymore, but 30 years ago was so common it was considered background noise?

@acmeweather pretty please, what is the black dotted line and dots telling me?

@ThomasJFarrell7 @lsferguson If you’re cold, they’re cold.

This is why you don’t leave your garage doors open in FL, this was my folks neighbors house…🐊

@robbystarbuck They pay Full Price. When you talk to an Academic they tell you this as if they’re doing you a favor and keeping YOUR cost down - it’s just further degenerate greed by the higher education system.

Unless a foreigner looks like they’d be top 5-10 in their field in the US, not one foreigner in a US medical school should get a residency spot until every American med student has a residency spot.

@HawkEmDownChris Tiger Woods.

Name an athlete you wish had a fully healthy career. I’ll start: Derrick Rose.

With the new Marius Bakken book out this week, can’t wait for a spotlight episode from @Scienceofsport Give us a chance to finish it first!

@rosiekennedyxx @MZHemingway Don’t underestimate the electric eel.

Nobody fell off harder than the hammerhead shark. Was a top shark for me as a kid and now completely obsolete in media and conversation.

@SebS343 @aakashgupta Interestingly enough, my 40yo childhood neighborhood has remained valuable - but I think now looks awful bc all the tree choices made were the wrong ones. Overgrown ornamentals aren’t pretty.

@HoltanLuke @aakashgupta Yes, my parents bought a 10yr home, they still live in it 20yrs on, neighbourhood looks way nicer now. Ofcourse not like picturesque streets with 100yr old trees but they could not afford it then nor now

Let me explain exactly why every new subdivision in America looks like the top photo, because the math is wild. A mature tree increases a home's value by 7 to 19 percent. On a $400,000 house, that's $28,000 to $76,000. A single shade tree produces the cooling equivalent of ten room-size air conditioners running 20 hours a day. One tree on the west side of a house cuts energy bills by 12 percent within 15 years. The bottom photo is worth more, costs less to live in, and sells faster. This has been documented by the University of Washington, Clemson, Michigan State, and the USDA. The data is not in dispute. Removing those trees saves the builder roughly $5,000 per lot. Concrete trucks need twice the dripline radius of every standing tree. Utility trenches need flat ground. A bulldozer flattens 200 lots in an afternoon. Preserving trees adds weeks and thousands per home. So the developer pockets $5,000 in savings and the buyer eats $50,000 in lost value for the next two decades. The person making the decision and the person paying for it have never been in the same room. The Woodlands, Texas is the proof of what happens when they are. George Mitchell bought 28,000 acres of Houston timberland in 1974 and preserved 28% as permanent green space. He forced McDonald's to build behind the tree canopy. That McDonald's became one of the highest-volume locations in Texas. The first office building, designed to reflect the surrounding forest so you couldn't see it from the street, leased completely. The Woodlands median home price today: $615,000. Katy, a comparable Houston suburb that clear-cut: $375,000. Named #1 community to live in America two years running. Fifty years of data. The trees are worth more than removing them saves. Developers clear-cut anyway because they sell the house once and leave. You live in it for 30 years.

@AJamesMcCarthy You must first acknowledge (1) massive government involvement (2) is there any industry more at the will of Mother Nature (3) the cost and complexity and near guarantee of Safety.

Every time I fly I feel like the airline industry could use a major shakeup. Like, where is the Steve Jobs or Elon Musk of aviation? It’s probably the one industry where the average user experience has gotten significantly worse over the last few decades.

@simongerman600 Kinda leaving out immigration to USA 🇺🇸

Ireland’s population chart remains a wild one to look at. The country has still not recovered from the Great Famine (1845-52).

@AartGoossens @Alan_Couzens is the pro on this. He has many python code examples examining the fit files for longitudinal data information.

@AartGoossens I do this all the time it’s easy: Put them into Google Drive. Ask Gemini to write the python code and execute it via Colab.

What if your .fit files were queryable? What if you could point a Python library at ~1000 .fit files, ask for the average power of your 10 longest rides in 2025, and get the answer in 1.7s?
