My granddad is the best person i know
At 11, he tried a cig and didn't like it and never smoked since
At 18, he was on the verge of death from sepsis when his mom's friend's husband, a long haul Aeroflot pilot, brought penicillin back from the US. When the antibiotics started working, the doc told his mom - don't cry, he might even live up to 40
At 21, he got a degree in nuclear physics, but wasn't allowed to work in the industry due to weakened health. He found himself in the Soviet space programme
At 26, he sent Sputnik to space, a few weeks before he had his first child
At 32, he made the discovery of the Earth's plasmasphere
At 60, he learnt English because the iron curtain had fallen and he could travel to the international space conferences. He needed to write and present in English
At 70, he would fight me for the dial-up internet as I wanted to chat to online friends, while he needed to send some work emails from home
At 85, he visited me in London and went to the British Museum five days in a row. One of the days we were having afternoon tea, and he exclaimed: "I'm so lucky! Had I not lived to this age, I would not have seen Amenkhotep III statue and had these wonderful scones at the Ritz"
At 90, he was the only person in my family who said I must absolutely take the opportunity to work in crypto
At 94, he still was still co-authoring scientific papers. And this hasn't stopped yet
Yesterday, he turned 95
Happy birthday granddad 😊

@bennyjohnson The statute looks like Ron Howard in the face. Anybody else see that?

Photos have leaked of Barack Obama's Statue at his Presidential Library, it looks EXACTLY like you'd expect 🤣
He reportedly also requested it be built by a black sculptor — look how that turned out.
The entire Presidential Center has been a DEI nightmare:
-Gave contracts to "diverse suppliers"
-Hired DEI construction workers
-Costs exploded from $350M to $830M
-Fighting a $40M racial discrimination lawsuit — filed by one of his own DEI hires
You really can’t make this stuff up.

@_PatrickSimpson I heard this from someone earlier today. Those prices are insane!

@PeggiBosquez Happy Birthday. Try and enjoy your birthday! As tough as these days can be, age is a gift not given to everyone.
English

Well today is my birthday. I am officially 60. Not sure what to think about that. Most people my age are empty nesters.. I have a 13 yr old. She keeps me young and is actually a really good human.
Hubby got me a mushy card and wrote stuff in it. I cried. He is not the romantic type. It's also a good thing because he was weed eating and broke the glass out of my kitchen door today. We also had a dead tree come down on a pig hut and fence line. 😕
My daughter just told me old isn't until 65. 😆
I hope everyone has had a great day!! ❤️

@the_det_times @EvanPetzold The heart of our pitching team was supposed to be Verlander, Skubal, Jackson Jobe, Mize - all out and they’ll all be back at once to right this ship!

@homemakinghunny Hope you get it. Housing market is insane!

We found a perfect house for us that’s available to rent with a covered porch AND a sunroom (which are two items that I’ve been praying Lord, please, if you could - bless me with either one of those in our next home)!! It also has a big yard, a shed, 4 bedrooms and lots of space. Great neighborhood! 5 minutes from my husband’s work. Ahhh!!! Praying for the Lord’s will in this.

@ThePatriotOasis Oh. As long as the "officials" are "investigating", we are good.

@the_det_times @Ken_Rosenthal Where he will proceed to have record breaking stats.
English

REPORT: It’s trending in the direction that the Tigers will trade Tarik Skubal at the deadline, per @Ken_Rosenthal.

@BradGalli Uhhhh. Is he saying we have more changes coming????

🚨WHAT THE HELL?!!!
The Obama-appointed federal judge who sent Todd Chrisley to prison was caught having LOUD S*X in her chambers during work hours for 2 YEARS, LIED to investigators about it, and got NOTHING but a "private reprimand."
Read that again.
Her name is Judge Eleanor Ross, her own law clerks told investigators they could hear MOANING, KISSING, and MUSIC through the walls.
She denied it and BLAMED THE CLERK until investigators ran FORENSIC TESTS on a couch in her chambers...
...let's just say they came back SUPER POSITIVE.
At least FIVE encounters from 2023 to 2025.
Her "partner" is an Atlanta Police Deputy Chief named Kelley Collier.
She is married... yep, you guessed it, ANOTHER judge.
The committee found she made herself vulnerable to BLACKMAIL and EXTORTION and lied to the investigators who called her denials "EGREGIOUS FALSITIES."...
...but she gets to keep her robe
Literally ZERO consequences for this, she keeps her lifetime appointment.
This judge SENDS PEOPLE TO PRISON FOR A LIVING
MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!!!
