As a former concert photographer I just know the photog was hyped when they got this shot. Best feeling.

@jbillinson I am remembering the clips of the crowd at Chappell Roan at Lollapalooza and there was energy and excitement

No, these crowds are definitely dead. And it’s not a Gen Z problem, it’s a Coachella one. Plenty of other festivals today don’t look like this, but this is the Instagram festival so this is what you get.

The scariest finding in this paper: the subjects couldn't tell it was happening. UPenn ran this study on 48 healthy adults. One group slept 8 hours. Another slept 6. Another slept 4. For 14 straight days. They tested cognitive performance every 2 hours from 7:30am to 11:30pm. The 6-hour group's reaction times, working memory, and sustained attention deteriorated on a near-linear curve. By day 14 they were performing at the same level as someone who hadn't slept at all in 48 hours. The 4-hour group hit that threshold by day 6. Here's the part that should unsettle everyone who thinks they "do fine" on 6 hours: the subjects' self-reported sleepiness flatlined after the first few days. Their brains kept getting worse. Their perception of how impaired they were stopped updating. The cognitive decline was invisible to the person experiencing it. The researchers found a hard threshold. Any wakefulness beyond 15.84 hours in a day produces cumulative neurobiological cost. That cost compounds every single day you exceed it and does not reset with a weekend of sleeping in. About 35% of American adults sleep less than 7 hours a night. 40% of those get 6 hours or less. In 1942 that number was 11%. We built an entire professional culture around a sleep schedule that this paper says is functionally equivalent to pulling consecutive all-nighters. "I'm fine on 6 hours" is the most common response to sleep research. The first thing chronic sleep debt destroys is your ability to notice chronic sleep debt.

@aeryuu @hecubian_devil “avoiding trauma leadership roles”

it's so funny that the pitt fandom is unironically like "it's actually fine for an ER doctor to have uncontrolled seizures, it's fine if it happens while she's in someone's chest cavity or intubating them, because of woke." just incredible stuff

@Huntgolfride @annbauerwriter The sun.

Naomi Wolf is truly the gift that keeps on giving. I hope she never leaves Twitter.

I'm so nervous!! 🌔 #ArtemisII #NASA #Moon

Rocky's “Amaze, Amaze, Amaze” catchphrase was mentioned in NASA communications with the Artemis II crew.

Currently 892 hours into automating a 30-second task I do 4 times a year It's gonna be so worth it once I get everything working

However Sinners performs at Academy Awards, Ryan Coogler already won by negotiating back the film IP rights in 25 years and releasing this incredible educational promo bit on different screen aspect ratios and film formats.

this is actually really fucking terrifying

Who else was cheering at the end of this week’s A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

Perfect explanation!

this is absolutely killing me

Thousands and thousands of people have poured into the streets for Minnesota general strike demanding ICE out of their state. Footage via @BTnewsroom.

It seems a lot of people think they know Minneapolis now.
Our flaws. Our faults. I hope my neighbors join me in reclaiming the narrative.
 Minneapolis, through the eyes of someone who actually lives here:

Me whenever I see a news headline now:

@owroot When the Mall of America opened someone got shot over a starter jacket, then kids started singing a version of the MOA jingle that was “there’s a place to run for your life” instead of “there’s a place for fun in your life”

My wife and I talk about these jackets, and particularly this jacket a shocking amount. It was so weird, these jackets. Different teams had different vibes. People just bought whatever vibe they wanted, it didn't matter if you even followed the team. This one was very coveted certainly, only the cool kids - too cool, probably too cool for their own good, kids who had parents who let them do too much, watch stuff they shouldn't watch etc... - had these.

Wow. CBS News Minnesota blows up Nick Shirley’s fraud story by showing security camera footage of children there THE SAME DAY Shirley was there.

Hey man we’re making the Yuletide gay later if you wanna pull up

ANDOR was my favorite show of the year and frankly FRANKLY it’s not particularly close.
