@MissyBBBobtail pure perfectionnnnnnnn

People say having a cat is hard.... but if you just give them everything they want and never tell them no, it's actually pretty easy 🐾🐾

@Rainmaker1973 Pure perfection

Birds that look like they’re surfing

@KobeissiLetter Priced for perfection. Wasn't.

It's official: IBM stock, $IBM, is now on track for its biggest daily decline since 1968, down -26%. That's -$70 billion in market cap erased today. The lesson? Don't get comfortable in the AI economy, keep evolving.

@CryptoNobler Oil did the work, not the Fed

🚨 BREAKING 🇺🇸 U.S. CPI CAME IN LOWER THAN EXPECTED! EXPECTATION = 3.8% ACTUAL = 3.5% THIS MEANS THAT INFLATION IS FINALLY SLOWING DOWN. BULLISH NEWS FOR BITCOIN AND RISK ASSETS!!

@ProtonDrive YouTube's real product was never video. It was behavioral data at scale, 92% of internet users tracked through watch history, search, and ad targeting across Google's network.

Collecting data is the backbone of YouTube when you think about it

🚨Trump just reminded markets that geopolitics can overpower macro in a single headline. After suggesting the ceasefire with Iran was effectively over, oil surged while equities sold off, as investors rushed to price in a very different risk environment. Multiple asset classes moved instantly: • WTI crude +6% • Brent +6% • U.S. equity futures fell • European stocks broadly declined • Oil & gas was the only sector in the green The catalyst was renewed uncertainty in the Middle East, shipping risks around the Strait of Hormuz, and a market suddenly forced to rethink inflation expectations just hours before the Fed minutes. When energy becomes the story, almost every other valuation has to be recalculated. The first move is in oil. The second is everywhere else.

@SJ_MacroView four words at a NATO press conference moved crude $5 in minutes. the Strait of Hormuz is still the most valuable single chokepoint on the planet.

@KobeissiLetter micron up 300%, SanDisk up 857%, and now the bull case is "chips keep going or Mag7 subs back in." those are two very different engines to be betting on simultaneously IMO

We now believe the S&P 500 is setting up for 8,000+. Here's why: Chip stocks have quietly become the new leaders of this bull market. While many of the Magnificent 7 stocks have declined 20%+ from their recent highs, semiconductor names have taken over. In fact, 8 of the 10 best-performing S&P 500 stocks this year are in the chip industry. As a result, the S&P 500 now sits just ~1% below a record high despite weakness the big tech stocks which have led the market since 2022. This marks the first time since 2022 that the market traded highly with leadership outside of the Magnificent 7, while the Magnificent 7 traded in the opposite direction. In our view, this rotation is constructive as the Magnificent 7 prepares to "sub back in." As large-cap tech begins to regain leadership while semiconductors continue to outperform or even cool-off, the S&P 500 is poised for 8,000+. Asset owners will continue to win.

🌌 First "sibling" pair of supernova remnants discovered Astrophysicists have discovered what is likely the first known pair of supernova remnants originating from the same bound system. One of the objects is the well-known Medusa Nebula. The second remnant was long thought to be hidden within the bright glow of the Medusa. Now, researchers have identified it as a distinct object. A bright filament of gas connects the two structures—a key feature indicating their connection and shared origin. 🔭

@konstructivizm a galaxy got grazed by another one a quarter billion years ago and still looks wrecked. space holds grudges on a completely different timescale

This galaxy, known as NGC 2442, is located approximately 50 million light-years away in the constellation Volans. Astronomers believe that NGC 2442 acquired this shape as a result of a gravitational interaction with another galaxy. 🔭 Apparent magnitude: 10.4.

@konstructivizm Tbh the post is a love letter to a machine that shuts down in 4 days. June 29, the LHC goes offline until 2030 for the High-Luminosity upgrade. Perfect timing to eulogize it.

The Largest Machine Ever Built: The Large Hadron Collider at CERNIt’s not just a machine. It’s a 27-kilometre ring of pure engineering ambition buried beneath the Swiss-French countryside — the biggest, most complex device humans have ever constructed.Weighing in at 10,000 tonnes of superconducting magnets, the LHC operates at an astonishing -271.3°C — colder than the vacuum of outer space itself. In fact, it is the coldest extended region anywhere in the known universe.This extreme chill is non-negotiable. The superconducting magnets must hover just a fraction of a degree above absolute zero to completely eliminate electrical resistance. Even the slightest warming, and the entire system fails in a spectacular “quench” — a runaway release of stored energy powerful enough to melt the magnets themselves.In 2008, one such quench caused $40 million in damage and kept the collider offline for 14 months. A brutal reminder of just how unforgiving this technology is.Yet when the LHC is firing on all cylinders, the numbers become almost unbelievable:Protons race around the ring at 99.9999991% the speed of light They complete 11,245 laps every single second Up to 600 million collisions occur each second inside the detectors The experiments generate 15 petabytes of data every year Keeping a 27-kilometre machine at near-absolute zero, year after year, while orchestrating hundreds of millions of particle collisions per second is an engineering triumph that borders on the miraculous.The physics discoveries are legendary.But the sheer audacity and precision required to make it all work might be the most impressive achievement of all.

Scientists have described a remarkable new species of octopus so small it could fit in the palm of your hand. Named Microeledone galapagensis, this deep-sea creature was found at depths of nearly 5,800 feet (1,773 meters) off the Galápagos Islands. The tiny octopus was first spotted in 2015 during a deep-sea expedition using a remotely operated vehicle near Darwin Island. Its striking deep-blue coloration, rounded golf-ball-sized body, and short arms adapted for crawling across the sandy seafloor immediately caught researchers’ attention. Specimens were collected and sent to octopus expert Janet R. Voight at the Field Museum in Chicago. Using advanced micro-CT scanning technology, the team created detailed 3D images of the animal’s internal anatomy without damaging the delicate specimens. This non-invasive approach allowed scientists to examine its organs, mouthparts, and nervous system in extraordinary detail, ultimately confirming it as an entirely new species.

most people learning AI are still chasing the best model the harder lessons come from what breaks between versions. a prompt that worked last week stops working. a workflow you documented is now wrong. nobody logs this stuff. that's the curriculum. it just doesn't come with a syllabus.

@Rainmaker1973 Jaguarundi is a reminder that evolution blurs categories. A cat shaped like a weasel, distributed almost as widely as the puma, shows how adaptation bends form to niche. It’s less about taxonomy, more about survival design.

The second most widely distributed carnivore in the Americas after the puma is the Jaguarundi, a wild cat that shows several features seen in mustelids such as otters and weasels.

@Rainmaker1973 owning a xolo is basically a crash course in pre-columbian history. their genetic stability is an anomaly in a world of over-bred pets.

A family of Xoloitzcuintli, or Xolos for short. They are regarded as one of the oldest dog breeds. Xolos share genetics traits with with their pre-Columbian ancestors, making them one of the closest living relatives to ancient canines that roamed the earth thousands of years ago. The earliest accounts of Xolo dogs date back more than 4000 years.

@Rainmaker1973 so my cat isn't just happy to see me. he’s a 150Hz mobile healing unit. insurance should cover my vet bills at this point.

Scientific research has confirmed that the vibrations produced by a cat’s purr, ranging between 25 and 150 Hertz, can accelerate bone healing and improve tissue repair. Cats purr naturally during rest, stress, or pain, and these frequencies stimulate bone density and promote recovery in both cats and humans. Medical researchers are exploring therapeutic applications of purring frequencies, including devices that mimic the vibrations for bone and muscle healing in humans. The discovery highlights a surprising intersection of biology and medicine, showing how natural animal behavior can inspire innovative health solutions.

@sciencegirl This is why physical presence still matters. You can't prompt this kind of tension. One millisecond difference and the story ends very differently.

Photographer Atif Saeed took this stunning image of a lion, milliseconds before it charged.

Atif Saeed captured this lion photo a split second before it charged. insane timing.

@wonderofscience forget fancy tech, nature already solved extreme survival. turning off thermal regulation in your limbs to save your core is a genius biological hack. humans would never survive ten minutes in their world IMO

The muskox, native to the Arctic, can endure temperatures as low as -40° thanks to its dense, insulating fur. They can also shut off thermal regulation in their lower limbs, maintaining cooler temperatures in them to reduce heat loss. 📽: Felix Belloin

@naturevideos marine iguanas are the only lizards on earth that forage in the ocean. actually wild to watch them dive. nature really just made a mini godzilla and put it in the galapagos.

The Marine Iguana is the only marine lizard species in the world, looks like a real Godzilla
