A massive brown bear was spotted navigating the high-altitude peaks of Alaska.

This is a teachable moment. Never give up. Anything can happen in life. It's never over. Keep pushing. Stay relentless. Stay focused. Win. You love to see it.

Fine. Noe Valley, Mission, Marina.

@RashmanTheHorse Has anyone just blown these meetings off to see what happens?

Got the invite at 9:15am but it was for 3pm later that day, so I just blew off work until then. Joined the call and the HR lady had to ask which division I belonged to, then she proceeded to read a script. It was hard not to laugh at it all

Orcas have brain structures you don't have. Neurobiologist Lori Marino's MRI work on killer whales identified a fourth cortical segment called the paralimbic lobe. It sits next to the limbic system and handles emotion and social awareness. It doesn't exist in humans or in any land mammal. In orcas, it's so elaborated it erupts into the cortex. Their cortical limbic lobe, the region handling self-awareness and social processing, is exceptionally developed. Their brain weighs roughly 12 pounds, four times the mass of yours. They have spindle cells, the same neurons that let humans reason about other minds. When an orca surfaces and locks eyes with you, it's running a social assessment with neural hardware specialized for exactly that. It knows you're a separate being. It knows you're watching it back. It's evaluating you. Here's what should recontextualize the clip. In all of recorded history, wild orcas have killed zero humans. Zero documented fatalities. One surfer was bitten off California in 1972, and the orca released him the moment it realized he wasn't a sea lion. A 12-year-old was bumped in Alaska in 2005. The orca approached, touched him, turned back. Orcas hunt great white sharks. They coordinate wave attacks that sweep seals off ice floes. They take down moose swimming between islands. They have every capability to kill you. They have never chosen to. Marino's explanation: the orca neocortex is developed enough to instantly distinguish a human from prey. Other researchers point to orca culture, the traditions passed through pods across generations, in which humans simply aren't food. That look is recognition and restraint. From a mind built for social cognition at a scale your brain can't reach.

‘How are you so focused under pressure?’ Me in 1995:

@Simon_Ingari My favorite is when when people zoom into the same meeting from their desk

2021: WFH is the future. 2024: Hybrid is the future. 2026: "come to the office 4 days a week because of culture" The culture: Everyone with noise cancelling headphones

@TommyGunnNBA My new desk while I rehab my torn acl while working in corp America while taking care of 3 kids. It can be done.

This is the biggest reason why I no longer hoop. I can’t imagine having to work a corporate job while trying to rehab and Achilles or ACL.

@News24680 You can hear this photo. Great shot!

Red-Tail has something to say during an aerial survey of #WalnutCreek (Calif.) today. #CoCoPhotos #WhosaPrettyBird

Today I was struggling to get my wife's attention. So, I sat down on the sofa and looked comfortable. That did the trick

@HaterReport Makes me feel way better about doing it on a green ski slope

Blowing out your ACL playing poker is INSANE 😭

@DiscussingFilm this is NOT the mummy I was expecting. Where B Fraser at?

The new trailer for Lee Cronin's ‘THE MUMMY’ has been released. In theaters on April 17.

@Hotshot_Movie Let me tell you a little story about a party called Donner

Nobody ever used to get stranded here. Now, because of climate change...

@pubity 🙌

Big Bang Theory star Kunal Nayyar revealed he has been using his wealth to secretly pay people's medical bills. He sits on his phone at night and looks through GoFundMe, giving donations to random families in complete anonymity.

@TheCinesthetic The rock. All time classic though

movies you had no business watching as a kid?

@FluentInFinance Recruiters right now

Microsoft released a study showing the 40 jobs most at risk by AI:

@Kazanjy You sure it didn’t hit a black and white squirrel?

“Hello sir this is Maria at Waymo support, how can I help you?” “Good morning Maria! The rider before me was smoking marijuana in the car so I was hoping you could grab the video feed of them doing that and cancel their account. Is that possible?”

@lindseyvonn @BrianSuttererMD Literally just ruptured my acl skiing. Im no Olympic athlete but you are inspiring to get me back on my feet. Got 3 young boys I would love to ski with again next year.

@BrianSuttererMD lol thanks doc. My ACL was fully functioning until last Friday. Just because it seems impossible to you doesn’t mean it’s not possible. And yes, my ACL is 100% ruptured. Not 80% or 50%. It’s 100% gone.

There’s a VERY important aspect of this that we do not know - What was the state of her ACL before the crash last week? What she is doing now would not be nearly as surprising in an elite athlete whose knee was already functioning like the ACL was torn at baseline. When you hear stories about “so and so played for years on a torn ACL”, that’s chronic, meaning the body has time to adapt and retrain muscles to support the knee. Also, someone who had a prior tear/surgery may not be as swollen and painful with a repeat injury. Bottom line, I don’t think this was a bread and butter, fresh ACL tear like everyone is thinking

"What about the mummies we found inside all the pyramids? "We've never found a mummy in a pyramid." It astonishes me how many people are still unaware of this fact... We were brainwashed in the schooling system to believe something with no evidence. A brilliant clip from Tucker Carlson's conversation with Andrew Gentile from The Why Files.
