@anishmoonka Don't you feel delusional showing faux authority on subjects you don't have expertise on? Dishing out LLM outputs

In a hotel room, half your brain never actually sleeps. Researchers at Brown University found in 2016 that your left hemisphere stays measurably more alert in unfamiliar environments, running a background surveillance process while your right hemisphere rests. Their paper in Current Biology compared this to how dolphins sleep with one eye open and one brain half awake. Humans run a weaker version every time they sleep somewhere new. They called it the First Night Effect. The team measured it with high-density EEG (brain-activity sensors placed across the scalp) and found the left brain acts as a night watchman, sampling sounds and potential threats while you sleep. You're technically unconscious, but part of you isn't. Deep sleep is where the body actually repairs itself. Growth hormone is released almost exclusively during this stage, which is when muscle tissue gets rebuilt and the immune system resets. In an unfamiliar bed, you get measurably less of this, even when total hours stay the same. The brain also runs a waste-clearance system called the glymphatic network. Maiken Nedergaard's lab at the University of Rochester showed in 2013 that during sleep, brain cells physically shrink by 60%, expanding the space between them and flushing metabolic waste out at roughly twice the waking rate. The waste includes amyloid beta, the same protein that accumulates in Alzheimer's disease. When sleep is disrupted, this clearing process slows, and metabolic waste stays in the brain longer than it should. Your own bed sends a different set of signals to your amygdala (your brain's threat-detection center): familiar smell, familiar temperature, familiar sounds. The night watchman finally stands down, and for the first time in days, both hemispheres actually sleep. Walker called it an underrated reset. The science says it's a biological one.

@iiPiratx @PankoHakuVT @silver_star_13 You need to go outside and touch some grass

@PankoHakuVT @silver_star_13 I do tbh many of them are pretty good

crazy to think how many of these are bots because there’s simply no possible way 1/16 of the worlds population is subscribed to mr beast. like this has GOT to be dead internet theory

@DiscussingFilm Eisenberg is overthinking it. Most actors dream of a role that sticks this hard. Man's out here complaining about free promo for life

Aaron Sorkin says he spent 3 days trying to convince Jesse Eisenberg to return for ‘THE SOCIAL RECKONING’. “He simply did not want to be conflated with Mark Zuckerberg anymore... He doesn’t like kids coming up to him in airports with business cards that say ‘I’m CEO, bitch’ for him to sign.” (Source: vanityfair.com/story/social-r…)

@SocialistMMA Fr

I will never understand Americans who look up to people who play make believe and dress up for a living Celebrity worship is unbelievably cringe

@symplyDAPO Thanks chatgpt

The craziest part is Game of Thrones reportedly pulled in an estimated $2.2 BILLION profit from just 73 episodes which is roughly $30.1M per episode. And here’s the kicker: Their most expensive episode ever, Season 8, Episode 3 “The Long Night”, cost about $18M to produce. Let that sink in. One episode cost less than what the show made per episode on average. 🐉💰

@Adityaverce He must have a big dong! Look at Sansa's face

The day Sansa Stark learns the truth...that everyone lied about Varys🌚

@Nacitrex Speak for yourself, it's been great experience so far for me , 2 years in

yea this phone fucking sucks

@Dearme2_ we need to reprogram our brain to defeat depression. In daily routine stop repeating bad words Indaily conversations . Brains gets opportunity to search more about that repeated bad word link to past bad memories. stop repeating the negative sentences it corrode your will power

Without sex and drugs... what is the greatest weapon against anxiety and depression?

@alabaymanuel @Variety Ya whatever chatgpt

Fascinating. Emma Corrin’s path rooted in theater rather than cinematic childhood obsession challenges the romantic “movie epiphany” narrative many actors lean on. It shows talent can flourish from stage discipline and personal curiosity, not just screen worship. A refreshing reminder that unconventional origins often breed distinctive performers 🎭

#EmmaCorrin says they’ve “always felt a bit self-conscious” about not growing up watching many movies. (Corrin and their two brothers “weren’t really allowed to watch much TV.”) “I’m not an actor with a story like, you know, ‘I watched Al Pacino at 12 years old and then thought, ‘This is for me.’ I don’t really have a film that made me want to act. It was mainly theater.” Read the full Power of Women London cover story: wp.me/pc8uak-1lHj9E

@Gmen_Aesthetics I don't mind this kind of chatgpt slop

How to fall in love with your life (again): 1. Go outside every single day

@steeledvein @zakfilm Rachel was miles better

@zakfilm Rachel is not even comparable to what nikki did, like the nuance and range this young actress had is elite

I think Rachel McAdams in Send Help was honestly better

@jpodhoretz It's actually really good but idk but overrated

If any actress this year gives a performance half as a good as Inde Navarette’s in OBSESSION, it will be a miracle. This is the greatest work in a horror movie since Sissy Spacek in CARRIE.

@hoomanask @RaminNasibov Goated game

@RaminNasibov Was addicted to commandos

Anyone who used a computer between 1985-2010. What’s the one game you still think about?

@TheCinesthetic Best Bob dylan portrayal ever

Cate Blanchett says she looked so much like Bob Dylan while filming I’M NOT THERE that even her husband didn’t want to kiss her. “The only time he hasn’t wanted to kiss me.” Blanchett said the transformation was liberating: “I had fantastic sideburns.”

The Pacific is heating up fast — and the whole planet is about to feel it. A super El Niño is forming in 2026, and forecasters say it could become one of the strongest ever recorded. This isn't a normal weather shift. When the Pacific releases this much heat, it rewires the climate system across every continent. Think supercharged heat waves. Worsening droughts in some regions. And, at the same time, more moisture in the air — fueling more intense flooding somewhere else. NOAA puts the odds of El Niño developing this year at well over 60%, with a real chance it reaches "very strong" status. A threshold crossed only a handful of times in recorded history. Each time it's happened, the result has been droughts, floods, and record temperatures hitting multiple continents at once. Southern Africa, Australia, Indonesia, and northern South America face heightened drought and wildfire risk. East Africa and parts of the Americas could see extreme flooding and landslides. India's monsoon could weaken, squeezing crops, hydropower, and food prices across the subcontinent. And here's the part that makes scientists uneasy: this is stacking on top of human-caused warming. The combination could push 2027 to the hottest year ever measured. The experts watching this don't agree on every detail. But they agree on the direction. The ocean is loading the gun. The atmosphere is about to pull the trigger. The planet has seen El Niño before. It has never seen one quite like this. Source: Freedman, A. (2026, May).

🚨: A record-breaking super El Niño may trigger floods, droughts, and record heat across the planet

@yimikaaaa Bless your heart

@handsomocity @BestMovieMom It's definitely on par with DDL's TWBB

Cate Blanchett losing Best Actress for TÁR (2022) to Michelle Yeoh is the kind of Oscar decision that ages worse every year. The performance is on the level of Daniel Day Lewis in There Will Be Blood (2007), and the Academy already knows it.

@SafeNights_ Her performance is not even in same tier as Blanchett's, if you really wanna pretend Yeoh was better then it's fine to each of their own

@RickyN698594 It does make sense, Michelle’s film was much more loved by the academy

As a Cate stan and as a TÁRhead, we really need to move on from Cate’s loss. Cate herself didn’t want or care about winning and neither should you
