@joelthemingway @jonaniksgiggle nice try, genius

@jonaniksgiggle He wasn’t offered Poatan you dork. That’s the fight he wanted but Dana wouldn’t give it to him. Francis didn’t even become champion til middle 2021 and was out of the organization by 2022 so nice try with that 3 year timeline genius.

Reminder‼️ Jon had a chance to fight Francis when he was in the UFC, and chose to retire for 3 YEARS until Francis eventually left for PFL. He was then offered $45m to fight Aspinall and Pereira and ducked them both.

Your brain has a circuit that doesn't know you live in a city. Its only job is to monitor whether birds are still singing. Right now, in this room, it is on. The circuit predates primates. Mammals have been using ambient soundscape continuity as a predator-detection system for roughly 200 million years. Birds stop singing when something larger moves through their territory. For most of mammalian history, a forest full of song meant no large predator was nearby, and the cessation of sound was the warning. Your nervous system never updated this software. The Max Planck Institute tested the inverse in 2022 with 295 participants. Six minutes of birdsong dropped anxiety with a medium effect size. Six minutes of traffic noise raised depression with the same. The effect worked on subjects who lived in dense urban environments and had no regular contact with nature. The brain still ran the check. Birdsong sits in the 1,000 to 8,000 Hz range. Your brainstem reads continuous patterns in that band as a signal that nothing dangerous is currently moving through the environment. EEG data shows birdsong at 45 to 50 decibels boosts alpha wave activity by 14.1% relative to silence. Alpha is the brainwave signature of relaxed alertness. Push the same birdsong above 60 decibels and the response flips. Stress markers rise 29%. The circuit only trusts the signal at the volume of quiet conversation, which is exactly the volume birds sing at from a typical distance. Three things happen simultaneously when the brain registers ambient safety. The amygdala downregulates. The parasympathetic nervous system takes over from the sympathetic. Heart rate variability rises, cortisol drops. The posterior cingulate cortex, which sits at the center of the rumination circuit, quiets down. King's College London tracked this through a smartphone study with over 1,200 participants and found the mood lift lasted hours after the sound stopped. People diagnosed with depression got the same response as healthy controls. Most of what gets labeled mental fatigue is hypervigilance running in the background. Birdsong tells the circuit it can stand down, and the brain reallocates the freed compute everywhere else. A quiet park feels different from a quiet office because the parks have sentinels.

@Bossman_10K only reason devils weren’t in the playoffs was because the dog shit penguins had 10+ OTL participation points

Devils fans really think he'd leave this for the couch in April

A lot of people ask me which startup is nailing their branding and marketing. Well it’s them.

@elonmusk no shit it looks and sounds awful

New Grok Imagine model just dropped with much better lip sync & sound. Nothing in this video is real.

@adater @RearAdBsBlog “class” a sport full of toothless dudes beating the shit out of each other

@RearAdBsBlog It’s about class and style. Something this country gave up upon

Sorry, but bring back the dress code era of hockey

This fan got a Jon Jones tattoo on his leg and Jon was loving it 😂 (via IG / mariodiazmma)

nobody coming to save you also implies no one is coming to stop you

@TheNotoriousMMA Then you cried about a broken toe

My last one done more than all of these combined.

what a privilege to be able to see, hear, breathe, walk and talk.

Asked this question at launch but the game has changed. I trip over light bulbs and rusted gears. What about you? What’s the item(s) giving you the most trouble in @ARCRaidersGame?

@JonnyBones wah wah too little too late

Hey everyone, I wanted to address Dana White’s comments from this past weekend, because the truth matters to me and the fans. Dana, you were heated about why I’m not on the White House card, but let’s clear something up. My team and I were actually negotiating with the UFC for that fight. Real negotiations. I even came down from my original number, and what was I offered in return ? I was lowballed . Yes, I have arthritis in my hip and it’s painful, but that doesn’t mean I can’t fight. So let me get this straight, if I had accepted the lowball offer, suddenly my hip would be fine and I’d be on the White House card? That doesn’t make sense. I even received stem cell treatment last week to get ready for the White House card, and training camp was scheduled to start today. I was preparing to be ready. I understand business deals fall through sometimes, but going out publicly and saying things that aren’t true isn’t right. After everything I’ve given to the UFC , the years, the title defenses, the fights , hearing that I’m “done” is disappointing. Especially when as recently as Friday UFC was calling me trying to get me on that White House card for a much lower number. If the UFC truly feels like I’m done, then I respectfully ask to be released from my contract today. No more spins, no more games. Thank you to the real fans who know what’s up. Bones out.

@JonnyBones You can’t keep doing this man you had your chance 😭

@AverageJoeWo Big dawg!! 🔥 Good shit bro

5-month progress ✅ I’ll chill on the gym pics soon, but if I can do it I promise anyone can. Lowkey proud of how far I’ve come.

Pretty much go to bed and wake up thinking about this clip Lives in my head

@anduriltech What about video and creative production, will that expand with Long Beach campus too?

Bringing 5,500 jobs to a city at the heart of aerospace, this second major campus will scale rapid production, iteration and delivery for customers.

In 2017, Anduril got its start in a small warehouse in Orange County. Today, we're announcing our expansion into a 1.2M sq-ft facility in Long Beach, CA.
