@imduditz @Timcast "normal people" lol Most "normal people" understand that reveling in your political adversary's death is tactless, the part that's supposed to stay quiet, even if you feel it, because it lowers your character. Especially if you're the sitting President of a nation.

@Timcast Shut the fuck up loser. Normal people are through with being nice. I'm glad Trump tells it like it is. It's the reason I voted for him. Get off the fence and stop sucking libtard dick

Lord have mercy Trump really did post this Mueller has died And he was not a good man But wow Trump is brutal

@forallcurious We are still *in* an ice age. We never left it. This is an interglacial period, within an ongoing ice age. So take your science from 'all day astronomy' with a grain of salt.

🚨: Earth is tilting toward its next ice age in 10,000 years, new research reveals

@throwawaytras @AnnaRMatson In a way she's right, because mothers with BPD pass it down to their children, and then their children seek an autism diagnosis, if the mother hasn't already gotten them one. Autism, ADHD, OCD, gluten intolerance...all fashionable diseases for BPD cases. They usually have all.

@AnnaRMatson Autism is almost 100% genetic

Dr. Bogner says that over 90% of parents self report to him that vaccines caused their child’s autism 😳

@elonmusk Would you care to place a gentleman's wager on this, sir?

He’s right

@SceneinCinema Ever see a smoking hot girl on a motorcycle hanging off a guy who looks like Santa Clause? Guys are ugly. We're supposed to be ugly. Your reaction, as a guy, to being called ugly, should be 'Yeah I know, right? What the hell do they even see in us?'

Barry Keoghan says hate about his looks made him “not want to go outside.” The actor, known for Saltburn and Dunkirk, revealed he faced “disgusting commentary” online, especially after his split from Sabrina Carpenter, which led him to delete ig. “There’s a lot of hate online… a lot of abuse of how I look,” he said. “It’s made me really go inside myself… not want to attend places, not want to go outside.” “It’s becoming a problem… because then you don’t even want to be on screen anymore.”

@dom_lucre Where's ISIS when you need them...

🔥🚨DEVELOPING: Gen-Z and Millennial Americans have started a growing trend of attending “Laughter Clubs” where you can go meet up with other adults to laugh on command with each other to help deal with stress. This practice started in 1995 but seems to be gaining a lot of traction with the two youngest adult generations.

@iconawrites In about 15 years people will be making this same complaint about the lack of people who can even make middling paintings. Smartphones and AI will be a 1-2 punch to the competence of 2 entire generations. Once boomer and genx dads die off, everything will gradually stop working

Michelangelo did not lock himself in a room for years though. That is not how art worked in the Renaissance! He worked for wealthy patrons, including the pope, under a lot of stress. The issue is that wealthy patrons nowadays don’t value art, and don’t commission it.

@ManaByte I enjoyed the Dune movies, but I've no desire to ever re-watch them. I've watched the LOTR trilogy at least a dozen times.

What really helped LOTR a lot is that the movies were released a year apart. Three Christmases in a row had a LOTR movie. That’s something that will never happen again.

@newstart_2024 Yeah there's a whole bunch of stuff that you're supposed to give toddlers, but also keep out of their reach because devouring an entire container of it will make them sick.

Dr. Gerry Curatola just exposed a wild contradiction in children's toothpaste: Seven class-action lawsuits are targeting Colgate, Procter & Gamble and others because kids' fluoride toothpaste is literally made to look and taste like candy… yet every tube carries the warning: “KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN” He asks: “How does that make sense? Keep it away from kids… but they’re supposed to put it in their mouth?” Clip from this 23-second eye-opener — the poison warning vs. candy-like design clash. Does this feel like a massive oversight… or is the warning just legal cover while they market it as fun for kids? Your thoughts — drop them below.

@thecurioustales Literally one person creates nanobots that consume organic material and use it to re-produce more nanobots, and all life on Earth dies.

For 99% of human history, the average lifespan sat below 40 years. By 1900, it was 32. Today it’s 73. In roughly 200 years, we nearly doubled it through engineering: sanitation, antibiotics, vaccines, surgery. Kurzweil’s argument is that nanobots are simply the next engineering leap in a sequence that was always heading somewhere radical. The mechanism isn’t speculative. Nanobots operating between 1-100 nanometers — smaller than most human cells — already exist in early medical form. Researchers at MIT and Harvard have demonstrated DNA-based nanobots capable of targeting and destroying cancer cells in living animals. In 2023, scientists deployed lipid nanoparticles to edit genes inside the human body in real time. The infrastructure of this technology is already being laid, quietly, in laboratories most people have never heard of. What Kurzweil predicts by 2030 is the convergence point — when computational power, miniaturization, and biotechnology cross a threshold simultaneously. His underlying framework, the Law of Accelerating Returns, shows technology doesn’t advance linearly. It compounds. The biological progress made in the last 10 years outweighs the previous 50 combined. The deeper disruption nobody discusses: if radical life extension arrives, every system humans built around mortality collapses simultaneously. Pension structures, inheritance law, religious frameworks, population models, the entire psychological architecture of “legacy” — all of it assumed a fixed human lifespan. 86% accuracy over four decades means the burden of proof quietly shifted. The people who should be most unsettled aren’t skeptics. They’re the ones who already made peace with dying.

@AshtonForbes I can't speak to THIS particular situation, but if you've ever declined debating a flat earther, sometimes the answer is that the other person is so far below you intellectually that you know it's going to be a pointless, exhausting endeavor that ultimately isn't worth your time.

I'm a healthcare IT guy. So why are all these PhD physicists terrified to debate me about Zero Point Energy? It should be easy to prove me wrong. They dodge because they can't answer basic questions about the Universe. Academia has become the clergy, devoid of scientific thinking.

@ItamarLevyOr @AndyMasley Pls don't spoil, I haven't gotten to the part where he misgenders someone yet.

@AndyMasley You need to understand that even though paul atreides can canonically see the future, and is following the only course of action that persists humanity, he is actually a bad man.

@iluminatibot It literally takes 2 minutes to work out the math on how much of your payment is going solely to interest, for the loan to not go down means this person was only putting $60 per month into this loan. This is 100% a self-inflicted wound, incurred by an idiot with no agency.

American takes out a student loan for $8,645. After years of payments, he’s paid $7,450. His current balance? $8,750. He pays $7,450 — and somehow owes MORE than the original loan. This is usury, and it should be illegal

@RealFoodRina If plants have consciousness, but are locked into an immobile body with no ability to see, hear or communicate, killing them for food is doing them a kindness.

What are vegans going to do when they find out plants have consciousness

@homemadehooplah Musk is the only holdout preventing them from forming a Voltron.

We've been cursed with hundreds of Lex Luthors and not a single Batman.

@homemadehooplah The Wayne family got cancelled and lost most of their fortune after questioning the efficacy of the covid vaccine on Twitter. Bruce bought sweet gaming setup and plays Call of Duty to feel like he's making a difference in the world.

@DanielRPK Yeah they like to do this thing in movies where they focus on a few characters within a sweeping epic to help the audience maintain perspective and connect to the material. This might really blow your mind here, but Luke is supposed to be you. Welcome to watching movies, sir.

Nah it’s the opposite. Star Wars is supposed to be about an entire galaxy but it keeps circling back to the Skywalker family which ends up making the universe feel small.

@foardeetou @TOEwithCurt The theory's implication is that all the electrical events happening in your brain that produce your thoughts are set in motion by a causal chain of prior events, ergo the substance of your thoughts do not prove, nor disprove the theory, they are merely the result of the chain.

@TOEwithCurt The only people who think the universe is predetermined are people who have never engaged in a strict, rigorous, demanding discipline. They’ve never voluntarily imposed severe immediate short term pain in exchange for a longer term payoff

General relativity isn’t one theory. It’s actually a family of variants. This means whether the universe is deterministic or not depends on which version you pick. Further, most who say “general relativity forbids time travel” may have quietly assumed what they’re trying to prove. Manchak’s work shows a certain pattern: add an assumption, derive a conclusion, then forget the assumption was doing all the heavy lifting. Super interesting. LINK IN REPLY

@NICKWATTS__ Ideas for a zoomer Superbad movie: They could have a scene where one of the friends uses a fake ID to buy a bunch of beer for the party, but then no one will drink it because it tastes gross

They’ve tried make Superbad for zoomers like 10 times but they never work because all of the people in Hollywood have school experiences that only Sarah Lawrence grads would relate to

@NICKWATTS__ Also it's hard to make a Superbad movie about a bunch of people who don't leave their houses and only communicate through text.
