Why are we so focused on profits, not prophets? It's impossible to straddle a mud hole with a wheelbarrow. TBCH I think we've all forgotten our Pooh Bears.

Forget everything you thought you knew about your place in the universe.
Astronomers just dropped a bombshell.
Earth — along with our entire Milky Way — might be floating inside a colossal cosmic emptiness stretching nearly 2 billion light-years across.
Yes. Two. Billion.
The region we call home appears to be roughly 20% less dense than the rest of the universe. A giant bubble of "nothing" that we never knew we were inside.
Here's where it gets wild.
Scientists figured this out by listening to the leftover echoes of the Big Bang itself — ancient soundwaves called baryon acoustic oscillations. Those ripples don't lie. And they're pointing to one strange conclusion: we live in a hole.
This isn't just cosmic trivia.
It could finally crack one of the biggest mysteries in modern science — the Hubble tension. For years, astronomers couldn't agree on how fast the universe is expanding because the math kept giving two different answers depending on where they looked.
A massive local void would explain everything.
Space stretches faster inside the bubble than outside it, throwing off our measurements like a funhouse mirror warping reality.
According to one team, the void model is around one hundred million times more likely than the standard picture of a smooth, uniform universe.
That's not a small claim. That's a rewrite of the cosmological textbook.
If confirmed, it changes the true age of the universe, our understanding of cosmic expansion, and humanity's literal address in the cosmos.
We're not at the center of everything.
We're at the center of nothing.

@BarackObama No surprise here.

Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

@aakashgupta @samismymuse Put the heptapod sequences on repeat for a few years for em... and let's see what happened.

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.

Something about Orcas watching you is deeply unsettling.

@KhaderGalion @Dearme2_ With respect.
If the Bible instructed me it was acceptable to lie to people to advance Christianity i would have nothing to do with it.
Honestly. Only the devil is cool with lies. God and Jesus are be good, be honest, love one another, obey and you come home when your work is

We were created for a clear purpose: to worship Allah and to be tested in this life. Allah says in the Quran:
“And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.” (Surah Adh-Dhariyat 51:56)
And He also says:
“[He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed.” (Surah Al-Mulk 67:2)
This life is a temporary test. Our real goal is to worship Allah alone, do good deeds, and strive to earn His pleasure and the eternal reward of Paradise.
That is the true meaning and purpose of our existence.

@IAmSteveHarvey The song writers guild gave Mr.
Morgan an award for it... along thel lines that it was so good... that they wished they'd have written it.
And thank you.

@IAmSteveHarvey It taught me that heaven is different things for different people.
And to the old man in the story, for him.... it was going fishing with his daddy.

@JeremyClarkson @Nick_Wilson3 fan of yours, I know you must be telling the truth. But idk if I'd trust that from any other well known presentertainer.
But I've seen your heart and you are a good man.
Idk why 🇺🇸 media isn't covering this story. It should be on the news... but it isnt.
English

@JeremyClarkson @Nick_Wilson3 it would have any urges to molest your animals like that. But i say hang that one up intact by his scrodes to ward off the rest of them. Because that's a some kinda pervert to still experience deviant behavior like that... as a zombie? That's next level twisted.

@elonmusk @nypost How many more iterations remain before Ninja Mode is available for Optimus? Maybe call your man at the NSA. Be sure folks get exactly what they deserve when the time is right. For now deployed as construction workers to help rebuild homes lost in CA wildfires for a lot of XP.

@CliffBarackman @reallesstroud @MBarackman_pdx Did two of you circle to each side while one got the critter focused on them & then you swooped in from each side in that very reliable, & much loved, Vulcan neck pinch maneuver?
But how come you didn't let us see what you got?
I mean... some of us would like to learn from you.

Without minor-league training camps where yewts can educate themselves on all things paranorma, & actually specialize in one area to build real expertise who’s gonna fill their shoes? First Mr. von Däniken, then Mr. Pope, & now Mr. Wilcox? Where’s the next generation of experts?

@dawn_kimmy_nl With a board cut down from a building supply store, you can hang it from the ceiling suspended with chain. It'll be up out of the way completely. Just the two cables from it to deal with from there. As an alternate solution maybe. No bumping/moving to readjust it when like that.

@JeremyClarkson Help us Jeremy Kenobi.
You are our last hope.
You may try to act confused, but we're onto you. Think of watching Kaleb making a face when he sees himself as what is clearly a miniature model... that isn't.
