A lot of people would be a lot happier and wealthier if they had realized this when they were younger

when spacex was getting started, the first and last men to walk on the moon testified before congress against it. gene cernan told congress commercial space companies "do not yet know what they don't know." he said the boeings and lockheed martins were "the folks who have been working on everything we've done for the last 50 years. they know how it can be done." neil armstrong said he was "not confident" the newcomers could achieve their goals. together with jim lovell they warned it would put america on "a long downward slide to mediocrity." spacex now launches more rockets than every country on earth combined. the experts will always tell you it can't be done. build it anyway!

Hay que pedirle disculpas a George Lucas; cuando sacó Episodio 1 nos quejabamos de que "bloquear rutas comerciales" era un argumento pobrísimo para un conflicto de Star Wars. Aquí estamos, pleno 2026, discutiendo por bloqueos de rutas comerciales.

Let this sink in: Canadians are founding twice as many businesses outside Canada than inside. We open more businesses in the U.S. than at home, after a decade of Liberals. And it has only gotten worse under Mark Carney, whose deficits and bureaucracy are bigger than Trudeau’s and whose tax burden is the same.

If you're building something for Canada right now – a company, a project, a community, infrastructure – you should be incredibly proud of that. If this is you, share what you're building in the replies below so we can stay in touch. 🚀🇨🇦

“While spacewalking I realized something, I used to think I was scared of heights but now I know I was just scared of gravity.” ― Artemis II Astronaut Reid Wiseman

There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild. He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed. When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them. Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate. The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions. Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement. The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean. That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.

@revathitweets @NairSharan Is there a way to connect with her directly? Would like to setup a fundraiser for her.

IT TAKES A LOT TO BE REVATHI…!!! While the whole country is celebrating the landmark judgement of death penalty for the NINE policemen in the Santhanakulam custodial torture and murder of Jeyaraj and Bennix, you should know about Revathi. Revathi was a constable in Santhanakulam police station in 2020 when the gruesome incident took place. She was the key witness and the sole reason for all the arrogant officers getting punished today. The police men involved in the brutality were all big men, Revathi was a small time constable. But she stood unperturbed. When Magistrate Bharathidasan, who initially investigated this case, arrived at the Santhanakulam police station he had no clue that constable Revathi will help close the case. "Sir, I will tell you everything, every detail, the truth that is being hidden. But I am the mother of two young girls... can you guarantee the safety of my children and my job?", she had asked the magistrate. Revathi was on night duty when the cruel incident took place. She witnessed the brutality being inflicted on Jeyaraj and Bennix and narrated every single detail. She told how SI Balakrishnan, inspector Sridhar and SI Ragukanes, kept beating the father and son with whatever they found, and how they also stomped on their private parts with their shoes. She remembered their screams. She saw how the officers took pause only to sip alcohol while the victims withered in pain. When the father and son were semi-conscious, unable to bear it, Revathi asked Jayaraj if he needed anything. She gave him coffee which the officials spilt it immediately. Revathi couldn’t stand the brutality but being a woman constable there was only so much she could do. She then offered water to the victims. The so called policemen then stripped Bennix naked, tied his hands and legs separately, and beat him up. They did the same to Jeyaraj. Revathi couldn’t bear the pain of their screams, she left the place. According to the postmortem report, their entire back was skinned, iron rods were inserted and they bled from their rectums. When the case was being discussed by the media, when even the CM of Tamil Nadu tried to brush it away, Revathi knew the truth. The police officials, cleaned up the station of any DNA evidences, erased the CCTV footage and warned everyone to shut-up and not try to become heroes. But Revathi didn’t just narrate the entire ordeal in exact detail…she even helped the investigating officials obtain other crucial information. Despite everything being cleaned, Revathi gathered DNA of the victims in crevices of the walls and floors, on furniture and other objects. She was questioned, threatened, intimidated, bribed and even abused. She stood by justice. She had to go against her colleagues for justice of comman man. In the time when police force is often looked upon with reasonable suspicion, there are people in uniform like Revathi. Today court could pronounce death sentence to nine police officers - only because one woman decided she will stand by truth! Kudos to Revathi, an amazing woman and an absolutely fabulous police officer. The world is a better place because of her courage. Salute ma’am 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

NEW: Over $50,000 has been raised for a Domino’s delivery driver who went out of his way to get his customer's Diet Coke when he realized that Domino's was out. 68-year-old Dan Simpson of Boise, Idaho has gone viral for his kind act. "[Dan] had stopped at the store himself to pick up Diet Coke for us. On a busy Friday night. During deliveries. Completely out of his own time and effort," the customers said on GoFundMe. "[Dan's] been working at Domino’s as a second job for 14 years… and he’s retiring in just a few weeks..." About $50,000 has been raised for Dan so far. Amazing. Video: katey_93 / tt.

14 years ago, a 9 year old kid named Caine spent his summer sitting in his dad's auto parts shop. He was bored, so he started taping old cardboard boxes together to pass the time. He built a basketball hoop, a soccer game, and a claw machine made out of an S hook and some yarn. He even taped calculators to the boxes to serve as credit card verification terminals. By August, the front of the shop was a fully functional cardboard arcade. Caine designed a "Fun Pass" that gave you 500 plays for two dollars, but he had zero customers. People just came in for car parts and left. Then a filmmaker named Nirvan Mullick walked in looking for a door handle for a 1996 Corolla. He saw the cardboard games, asked Caine how much it cost, and bought the two dollar pass. Nirvan set up an event page online. He asked the internet to show up on a Sunday afternoon to surprise the kid, thinking maybe twenty people would come. When Caine pulled up to the shop that Sunday, the street was completely blocked. Hundreds of strangers were waiting in line to play his cardboard games, holding handmade signs and chanting his name. Nirvan posted a short documentary about that afternoon on YouTube titled "Caine's Arcade," and it went massively viral. People watching online ended up donating over $240,000 for Caine's college fund.

🚨| Sir Lewis Hamilton: "In karting, it happens in karting all the time, back and forth, back and forth.." "No one ever calls it yo-yo racing. It's real racing." "So whoever's coming out with that is... yeah."

They really don't make shows like they used to.

Grateful to call this place home. @CityofVancouver

@Parodyjeffx Errr don’t know about “destroyed” she clearly doesn’t give AF. Just visited cos she got paid.

BREAKING !!!!!!!!! 🚨🚀 Laura Loomer was just called out and completely DESTROYED in INDIA over her past comments about the country. So embarrassing.

@IndiaToday @sardesairajdeep @LauraLoomer “Sorry to say that?” Why? She clearly doesn’t give two hoots. This bootlicking needs to stop. She isn’t going change her mind, Indians have nothing to prove.

"Your remarks are brazenly racist and Islamaphopic": India Today's @sardesairajdeep hits out at Trump Loyalist @LauraLoomer over her comments on Kamala Harris, Indians & immigrants. #IndiaTodayConclave26 #LauraLoomer #KamalaHarris #US #India

@TrulyMonica India doesn’t belong to Hindus. It belongs to Indians. Ignorance pro max and disappointed with how those “journalists” didn’t push back.

‘I apologise to Indians for my hurtful tweets. I am an advocate for Hindu people and continue to speak against brutalities on them’ Did Laura Loomer had a change of heart. This will be the fate of every India hater few years down the line. Good..
