@Rainmaker1973 This is a capitalist who understands his idea for a business would never have come to fruition without a dedicated labor force. I’m guessing he created a good environment for his workers to work in, as well.

In a remarkable act of generosity, Graham Walker, former CEO of Fibrebond Corporation in Louisiana, sold his company for $1.7 billion and shared the success with his employees in an extraordinary way. When the company was acquired by Eaton, Walker made it a non-negotiable condition of the deal that $240 million be distributed as bonuses to all 540 full-time employees. He wanted the people who had helped build the company to directly benefit from its success. Bonuses were calculated based on years of service, with many long-term employees receiving six-figure payouts. Workers were stunned when they opened their letters — some initially thought it was a prank. The generous windfall transformed lives overnight and highlighted Walker’s strong belief that loyalty and hard work deserve to be richly rewarded.

@WarriorNight007 After my brother was born, my mother insisted on getting me a puppy to make sure I wouldn’t be jealous. I had been the only for five years. I loved my brother and the pup. When my brother began crawling, the pup became his shadow. He would pick him up and move him from danger.

Babies are top priority in a dog's heart

@JamesTate121 Yay! Pretty sure Momma wasn’t going to charge them while they were helping her baby. Still they took a risk. Poor little thing was frantic! 🥰

Good humans.👏👏👏

@Inspirednwired @Rainmaker1973 Absolutely both! It is MIND BOGGLING. Although it does help to understand how when they do their “own research”, the results are disastrous and preposterous.

@Rainmaker1973 OMG - some of the posts here are breathtaking in terms of their ignorance of very basic science. These people are allowed to vote, drive cars, operate electronic devices, breed even. Should I laugh or cry?

In 1960, David Latimer planted a spiderwort sprout inside of a large glass jar, added a quarter pint of water, and then sealed it shut. He opened the bottle for the first time only 12 years later, in 1972, to add some water and then sealed it for good. The self-contained ecosystem flourished for more than 60 years as a perfectly balanced garden and self-sufficient ecosystem. The bacteria in the compost ate the dead plants and broke down the oxygen released, turning it into carbon dioxide, essentially forming a microcosm of Earth.

@ActionMatter Always have the procedure done in a hospital, not a center. Check the hospital’s post-operative and overall infection rates. If you’re not at significant risk for colon cancer, are the other risks worth it? Do you need a preventative colonoscopy at 80 or 85? Probably not.

Had a routine scoping procedure in 2018 or later? Patients are reporting serious infections and other complications after scope procedures like colonoscopies. Developed an infection, internal injury, or another serious complication after a routine scoping procedure? Learn More.

@yecartbackwards @ladyperpetuall Not specifically a hostage, but in bars and public spaces she is being harassed, given unwelcome attention. In this situation, it’s a clue to the cops there is abuse in the house.

@ladyperpetuall Why was that a clever move, is that a code for women being held hostage?

The fact she asked if her name was Angela was a clever move ❤️ Always hated when parents talk for their kids

@AmazingNature00 Our Boxer puppy followed my baby brother as he crawled around the house. The pup would decide my brother was too close to danger and pick him up by the crisscross straps on the back of his coveralls. He looked like a puppy hanging from the dog’s mouth as he was moved to safety.

Dog saves baby from danger.

@SilverJROM @DangerousThinkg Afraid you don’t get it. Being really smart makes you see how layered and complex even the simplest of things are. That understanding makes fixing “it” more challenging because you can see the weakness in any fix.

@DangerousThinkg boo fucking hoo. like what naval said if you are truly smart you can figure out how to fix it, otherwise you're not smart at all.

@Gitano72 @AstronomyVibes This is from Wikipedia “Pasterski was born in Chicago, Illinois,to Mark Pasterski and Maria Gonzalez,both lawyers.She is of Polish and Cubandescent.[4] She attended elementary school at the Edison Regional Gifted Center beginning in 1998.[1]” In a Latin country, yes. Here, no.

@AstronomyVibes Interesting they they’re trying to already remove the Gonzalez part out of her name when it is actually her proper last name.

Meet the 'next Einstein' who turned down a $1.1 million university offer to lead a groundbreaking quest to decode the mysteries of the universe. Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski is redefining the image of a modern genius, possessing a brilliant mind that has earned her frequent comparisons to Albert Einstein. Her extraordinary journey began at just 12 years old when she built her own airplane, a feat that foreshadowed a stellar academic career. After graduating at the top of her physics class at MIT with a perfect GPA, she moved on to Harvard for her doctoral studies. Her groundbreaking research on the 'spin memory effect' even caught the attention of the late Stephen Hawking, who cited her work in his own papers. This meteoric rise made her one of the most sought-after scientists in the world, leading her to famously decline a $1.1 million offer from Brown University to pursue her specific intellectual passions. Today, Pasterski leads the Celestial Holography Initiative at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. Her work sits at the absolute frontier of science, focusing on an ambitious project to encode the universe as a hologram in an effort to reconcile the long-standing divide between spacetime and quantum theory. Unlike her historical predecessors, she leverages modern digital platforms to share her research and journey with a global audience, proving that the next generation of genius is as much about communication as it is about calculation. By standing on the shoulders of giants while solving mysteries that have stumped generations, Pasterski is proving that the future of physics is being written by those bold enough to forge their own path. source: Harker, J. (2026). Next Albert Einstein is 32-year-old woman who turned down $1.1m offer from university. UNILAD.

@washingtonpost I can understand this feels like a scam by Big Pharma, but it is no different than the limitations followed after bariatric surgery. If your excess weight is from behavior or medical conditions, those have to be addressed concurrently. The only scam might be not explaining that.

People who stop taking GLP-1 drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy for weight loss are projected to regain their shed pounds within about 1½ years, a review of existing research has found. wapo.st/3N3FjEK

@It5ervice5 @TheRickWilson @loudibella So true!

@TheRickWilson @loudibella This is insane he got #maga siding with the orange man over their own religion this is truly a #cult

This will end well. Some genius in Trumpland decided, “Hey, the best thing we can do now is to go to war with the Holy Father.”

@Joe75098733 @simongerman600 Of course they did. Do these numbers reflect how many people were lost to Covid? Cities because of density were hard hit by Covid. California, NY and Illinois suffered massive losses through 2025 due to Covid. This post proves statistics can be used to misrepresent anything.

@simongerman600 This is pointless. Expensive NE states gained too.

Post Covid USA population shifts: The map shows an economic story. Americans vote with their feet: high-growth states like Texas and the Carolinas combine jobs and still-affordable living, while expensive coastal states keep losing people despite higher incomes. Cheap alone isn’t enough, a state must offer economic opportunity too.

@jackdmenendez @simongerman600 💙🤣💙

@simongerman600 Let me translate: California lost nutcases to Idaho and Florida, and turned Texas close to Blue.

@Mikebad526986 @NFL_DovKleiman Of all the possible takeaways from this, that was yours? I’m white and a “leftist”, I don’t think those things. But I do know that our - white - society is still oppressing Black Americans and POC.

@NFL_DovKleiman I thought whites were racist. I thought whites were Nazis. I thought whites were bad people. That’s what the leftists say.

Inspiring: Jahmyr Gibbs was adopted by Grey and Dusty Rose at 15 due to difficult family situations. Despite Gibbs facing many hardships throughout his early childhood, he is now one of the biggest stars in the NFL. Hats off to his adopted parents and grandmother. ❤️👏

@Sassafrass_84 @BarackObama 🤣🙄As a white woman who was part of the Civil Rights Movement, I can tell you haven’t a clue. If you knew what America was like in the 50s & 60s for POC you’d know how despicable so many whites were to Negros. Read a real history book. Whites were the race baiters and rioters.

@BarackObama Jesse Jackson was a professional race baiter. That being said, I did say RIP.

Michelle and I were deeply saddened to hear about the passing of a true giant, the Reverend Jesse Jackson. We will always be grateful for Jesse's lifetime of service, and the friendship our families share. We stood on his shoulders. We send our deepest condolences to the Jackson family and everyone in Chicago and beyond who knew and loved him.

@olyhere4tucker @BestinDogs 🤣 She’s just so grateful you brought her home to her daddy! Thing is she expected you to keep it moving.

@BestinDogs This is Rita. I rescued her from the streets. She turned out to be the biggest bitch in the world and only has eyes for my husband because she's also a whore. Adopt don't shop.

I went to a shelter to get a dog and I saw this brindle laying on the hard ground. I made eye contact with him and he got up and he brought a tennis ball over. I asked to see him and I was told he was returned two times because he was too wild and cried all the time. When he was brought back to his cage he cried. It broke my heart. I told the man I wanted him. He told me I'd be sorry. When we got home I worked with him and changed things so he'd be comfortable. He has bad separation anxiety. Everything worked out. He's my pal. We play catch with tennis balls daily. His name is Popeye. 🤗❤

@JMieGrl @archeohistories You don’t see darker skin on the man on the right? Curlier hair and fuller lips? On the other man, his Black/White coloring is more blended. That’s a function of how gene expression happens in families. The man on the left could easily do what is referred to as “passing“.

@archeohistories BUT I thought the ancient Egyptians were black… why do they look so middle eastern ?

The portrait of the two brothers, dating to approximately 140 AD in Roman Egypt, a stunning example of the famous Fayum mummy portraits. These lifelike paintings represent a unique cultural fusion where the ancient Egyptian tradition of mummification was combined with the Greco-Roman artistic technique of realistic portraiture. Unlike the stylized faces on earlier Egyptian coffins, these panels—painted on wood using the durable and vibrant encaustic technique (pigments mixed with hot beeswax)—captured the true likenesses of the deceased, offering us the most accurate visual record of the people who inhabited this cosmopolitan Roman province nearly two millennia ago. This particular piece, often known as the "Tondo of the Two Brothers" (due to its circular, or tondo, shape), was discovered in Antinoöpolis, a city founded by Emperor Hadrian. The subjects are shown wearing Roman-style tunics and cloaks, illustrating their status as members of the wealthy, Greco-Egyptian elite who adopted Roman fashion. The portrait's power lies in its blending of cultures: while the style is highly Roman, the painting's purpose was purely Egyptian—it was attached over the face of the mummified body, essentially replacing the traditional mummy mask and serving as the face of the deceased for eternity. The work also includes small statues of deities above their shoulders (possibly Hermes-Anubis and Antinous-Osiris), further cementing the syncretism of Roman, Greek, and Egyptian beliefs. Tondo provides rich social and historical detail. The differences in their clothing, skin tone, and facial hair suggest an older and a younger man, supporting the traditional identification as brothers. The man on the viewer's left is often shown wearing a white tunic with a purple border and a shoulder decoration that may be a swastika symbol (used widely in antiquity to represent prosperity or fertility). However, the closeness and unique composition have led some modern scholars to propose they may have been lovers rather than siblings, reflecting the social complexities of Roman society. Today, this iconic work is housed in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, where it stands as a celebrated masterpiece of both Roman portraiture and funerary art. #archaeohistories

@Jaybaby63 @murs1976 @histories_arch 💯 I came here to say exactly that. Or even better, if the husband/man paid attention to the environment they live in instead floating through and stepping over and around things, the wife/woman wouldn’t have to speak.

@murs1976 @histories_arch If the request were fulfilled after the first time voicing it, we wouldn’t have to repeat it numerous times. You call it nagging, I call it lagging.

“Do not control your wife in her house, When you know she is efficient. Do not say, 'Where is it? Get it!' When she has put it in the right place.” - Instruction of the Scribe Ani to a Younger Man (1300 BC) The Instruction of the Scribe Ani is an Ancient Egyptian wisdom text preserved on papyrus, part of the long tradition of “sebayt (teachings)”, that offered moral guidance, social advice, and professional wisdom. Written in the late New Kingdom (1300–1100 BC), the papyrus is brimming with gently pointed counsel on how to conduct oneself with grace, be it within the household, in one’s temper, and even in one’s aspirations. All are conveyed with that unmistakable Egyptian blend of humour, tenderness, and common sense, yet quietly philosophical in spirit, centuries before the Greeks put such matters to parchment. #archaeohistories

@AmericaOurStory 💯

@AmericaOurStory Damn right! No president would be proud of stacking the court and no Supreme Court judge would appreciate being publicly outed as the sitting president’s tool.
