In 1983, Richard Feynman gave a 1-hour masterclass on imagination and physics. He broke down: • Fire • Atoms • Motion • Energy • Magnetism But underneath it, he revealed how to think like a scientist 12 lessons from Feynman’s masterclass: 1. Imagination beats knowledge

David Bowie had gone to a private showing of his 1987 movie Labyrinth. Afterward, he’d have a meet-and-greet with a group of children. He met them and had a ball, but one boy was shy and withdrawn. So Bowie asked the organizers of the event if he could talk to the boy by himself, seeing as though he was “so shy." The kid wasn’t actually shy — he was autistic. Bowie told the kid he was also scared, too, of everything. He was, in fact, only able to face other people because of a “magic mask” he would always wear. It just so happened the mask was ‘invisible.’ He gave it to the boy. He then acted rather distressed himself and had to make another magic mask, after which he became calm, too. Bowie and the kid just hung out for thirty minutes, and it was a magical experience. The boy later said he actually felt more confident after meeting David Bowie and receiving his “magic mask." Bowie reminded the boy of how ‘everyone is shy and scared sometimes, and we all wear masks’. Not every celebrity as famous as Bowie would take so much time and go through such effort to put an uncomfortable kid at ease at an event.

Holy fucking Willy omg man what a game

@hockeyesque So. Many. Times….. le stress 🤯

Reflecting on how many times I’ve gone thru these tensions w Leafs. Never gets any easier but always grateful to feel them.

@TSNJFranklin Rough one … great season from those boys but the Avs are the real deal

The #Jets must feel like the #Avs took their lunch money… and their girl friend 😳👀😳👀 Gentleman’s sweep… Tough way to end what seemed like a promising season.

1. I can probably say a lot about this one. Recorded in the winter at Reaction Studios on Stafford street. Produced by MPW. We had a lot of guests on Whale Music, but this was just us. Front loaded with all of those Tielli vocals. I wrote Saskatchewan in Italy, and N Wish on tour

On This Day Melville is the second studio album by Rheostatics, released in 1991. Share your favourite songs and memories in the comments! Karine @hockeyesque @MartinTielli

@hockeyesque As good as they come. The riffage of Aliens, high voltage wire head banging, when the solo kicks in Christopher, the harmonies right at the end of Winter, the haunting wateryness of Edmund… just all of it man pure art I will never tire

@hockeyesque My fav hidden song from any album in part because it was a total surprise when I first heard it and didn’t realize it wasn’t a proper track on the CD… I kept going through one by one like wtf was that where did it go?? Also you cannot listen to MWND and not be amazed ❤️ 🎸

I think with Don on drums we were learning to become a renewed band. But I think this is a pretty strong collection of songs, all told: Sweet, Rich; Bad Time; Feed Yourself; MWND; First Rock Concert; Fat. With Farm Fresh!

Looking forward to a great couple days #FOWC

TONIGHT! @RonSexsmith @masseyhall #SexsmithAt60 #LiveForLiveMusic

@hockeyesque @hockeyesque amazing news can't wait :)

some professional news: Rheostatics (including the birthday boy) are starting a new musical project this week. Very excited to have the big band arrayed (plus a really special collaborator) to work on stuff that we hope you can hear in 2024/25.

Happy Birthday to the wonderful Martin Tielli! #Rheostatics #StolenCar #BecauseWeLoveIt

Richard Feynman's most famous course at Caltech was called 'Physics X.' It was open to undergraduates only. The only instructions were 'Ask me anything about physics!' and Feynman would take it from there.
