NEW: Astronaut Reid Wiseman shares a video of ‘Earthset’ that was taken with his iPhone “This is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye…” Wiseman said. This has to be the greatest iPhone video of all time.

@BradStanfieldMD thanks for the work @BradStanfieldMD 👍🏼

We ran the first double-blind, placebo-controlled trial combining weekly Rapamycin (Sirolimus) 6mg with exercise in older adults. 40 sedentary people aged 65-85. Both groups did the same 13-week at-home exercise programme. Half got Rapamycin, half got Placebo.

Our Rapamycin & Exercise clinical trial has just been published! The topline result? Rapamycin didn't help. Instead, it may have made things worse. Here's what we found 🧵 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

Christopher Nolan just showed Trojan Horse footage from The Odyssey at CinemaCon. The business math behind this movie is wild. $250 million budget. His most expensive film ever. First movie shot entirely on IMAX 70mm cameras. No franchise, no sequel, no superhero IP. The source material is a 3,000-year-old poem. IMAX opening weekend tickets went on sale a full year before release. They sold out in 12 hours. $1.5 million in ticket revenue before a single TV spot aired. The trailer pulled 121.4 million views in 24 hours. More than Universal's Wicked sequel. More than double what Oppenheimer's first trailer did in the same window. Today's footage confirmed Charlize Theron is playing Calypso, the nymph who kept Odysseus trapped on her island for seven years. The scene opens with Damon asking her "How long have I been here?" He can't remember if he had a wife or a son. That's pure Nolan. Starting the story in captivity, with a man who's lost his own identity. The same filmmaker who opened Memento backwards. The cast is absurd: Damon, Holland, Hathaway, Pattinson, Zendaya as Athena, Lupita Nyong'o, Theron, Bernthal as Menelaus, Safdie as Agamemnon, Mia Goth, Leguizamo, Elliot Page, Travis Scott. Nolan joked it would be faster to list who isn't in it. His last five films averaged $680 million worldwide. Oppenheimer made $976 million with an R rating and a three-hour runtime about a physicist. Every studio spent the last decade convinced original films can't open big. Nolan's response: adapt the oldest story in Western literature. Homer's been in public domain for about 2,500 years. Nolan IS the franchise. His name on a poster does what a superhero logo used to do. Universal figured this out when they signed him after Warner Bros let him walk over a streaming window dispute. Twenty years of partnership, gone. July 17. IMDb's most anticipated film of 2026. Built from a poem your ninth-grade English teacher assigned.

The future is already on the front line – and Ukraine is building it. These are our ground robotic systems. For the first time in the history of this war, an enemy position was taken exclusively by unmanned platforms – ground systems and drones. The occupiers surrendered, and the operation was carried out without infantry and without losses on our side. Ratel, TerMIT, Ardal, Rys, Zmiy, Protector, Volia, and our other ground robotic systems have already carried out more than 22,000 missions on the front in just three months. In other words, lives were saved more than 22,000 times when a robot went into the most dangerous areas instead of a warrior. This is about high technology protecting the highest value – human life. From the congratulatory address to the workers of Ukraine’s defense-industrial complex (2/3).

Both societies exist simultaneously. really incredible to think about

The guy just landed a spacecraft on a comet — one of the most impressive scientific achievements in years. His reward? A public struggle session because his bowling shirt had scantily clad women on it. Helen Andrews points out the quiet cost of institutional feminization: HR departments now hunt down any maverick personality and stamp it out. We’re losing innovators we’ll never even know about, all because someone focused on the shirt instead of the comet. This is how wokeness actually works. Have you seen real excellence get punished for something trivial like this?

not HOUSTON quoting fucking PROJECT HAIL MARY what a time to be alive

no matter what’s going on in the world. this is very, very, very freaking awesome

The latest Economist cover says it all.

remarkable consistency between ignorance and poor results

@XFreeze Why has the european union been protecting me from full self driving for so long?

Elon Musk just dropped a massive update for Europe: “Tesla has the most advanced real-world AI” Approval is coming soon. Authorities have told them it will be approved in the Netherlands on March 20th “I think people in Europe are going to be pretty blown away by how good the Tesla car AI is at being able to drive” “From a technical standpoint, you’ll be able to fall asleep in the Tesla and wake up at your destination" Unsupervised Full Self-Driving is almost here

Careers are dead. Jobs are dying. Opportunities arising.

Right on schedule ... Spain is now asking for the rest of Europe to "share the burden" of Spain's decision to legalize African illegal migrants. Spain approved legal residency for 500,000 illegals, now millions from the 3rd world are rushing in for free welfare benefits.
