The homeless man outside my University had a PhD in literature. I only found out because I dropped my book walking past him one day. He picked it up, looked at the cover, and said, "Ah, Virginia Woolf. Have you read her essays on consciousness?" One medical bankruptcy and a series of cascading disasters later, he's been on that corner for three years. "The difference between us," he said, "is about six months of bad luck." I think about that every time I complain about my problems.

Average Amerikkkkan “hero” did basically the same thing in Vietnam abc.net.au/news/2015-09-2…

For those asking about why we keep seeing the Artemis 2 crew working out even though it's a 10 day mission. Astronauts exercise two hours every day in space. Within hours of entering microgravity your fluids stop pooling in your legs and shift toward your head. Puffy face, stuffy nose, legs shrinking. Your body interprets this as having too much blood and starts reducing volume within the first day or two. By the end of week one your muscles and bones have started breaking down because gravity is gone and your body sees no reason to maintain tissue it isn't using. The bones that spent your entire life resisting gravity simply stop being loaded and begin to deteriorate at rates comparable to osteoporosis.

Solomon Kalushi Mahlangu was executed by hanging on this day in 1979 at the age of 22.

A Palestinian grandmother took her grandson to Egypt for urgent heart surgery after Israel granted a rare medical evacuation, but he died during treatment. Returning to Gaza, she found her husband and children killed in an air strike. Now she is alone and shares her story.

He was only 22 years old bru, and his last words were: “My blood will nourish the tree that will bear the fruits of freedom” I know who died for my freedom

NASA trained astronauts to take photos without being able to see what they were shooting. They bolted a camera to each astronaut’s chest, removed the viewfinder, and handed them pressurized gloves so thick they could barely feel the shutter button. Before each Apollo mission, NASA sent the cameras home with the crew so they could spend weeks practicing how to aim the thing blind. The moonwalk photo of Buzz Aldrin was shot this way. Armstrong aimed from his chest through a tiny metal ring, guessing the framing. He held the camera slightly tilted. The original photo actually cuts off the top of Aldrin’s backpack, so NASA had to rotate and crop the image before releasing it. Armstrong carried the only camera for the entire 2 hours and 31 minutes they spent on the surface. When NASA’s press team went digging for a good photo of Armstrong himself, they found almost nothing. Aldrin grabbed the camera once and took a single shot of him. One photo of the first person to walk on the Moon. The floating astronaut image from 1984 was never planned. Bruce McCandless strapped on a nitrogen-powered jetpack and flew 320 feet from the Space Shuttle with no tether, no cable, nothing connecting him to the ship. Inside the shuttle, pilot Hoot Gibson had no assigned tasks during that window. He picked up a camera. He measured the light three separate times. He verified his focus four times per frame because he knew that if he blew the exposure, the moment was gone. That photo became one of NASA’s most requested images ever. McCandless later said it works because his visor is down and you can’t tell who’s in the suit. Could be anybody. Twelve cameras still sit on the Moon. After each Apollo landing, NASA told the crew to pack the film but leave the camera bodies behind. Moon rocks took priority, and weight limits were brutal. The cameras were lowered to the lunar surface on a clothesline rig and hauled back up the same way, film only. Across six Moon landings, astronauts shot over 18,000 photos, adjusting every setting by hand in a spacesuit. NASA’s headquarters photo team today is four people covering the entire agency. Every image NASA has ever produced is free to use because federal law says government employees can’t copyright their work. Over a million NASA photos sit in the National Archives going back to 1903. Their Instagram has 101 million followers. All of it built by people who had to practice pressing a button wearing gloves they could barely close their fist in.

China rural population was going through malnutrition and growth stunting. They increased the 3 yuan to 5 yuan per student per day and made it mandatory for the government officials to eat the same meal as what those kids were eating. They added more meat, more milk, allowed more eggs and tofu for the kids in everyday meal. Result? 13-year-old males have seen the most growth in height and weight over the decade, with an average height of 7.5 centimeters taller and an average added weight of 6.6 kilograms from 2012 to 2021. 12-year-old female students who experienced the most growth had added an average of 6.3 cm in height and 5.8 kg in weight in 2021 compared to average levels by 2012. This is what happens when you keep your schools separate from your religious identities and don't do drama and rr on allowing eggs or meat or chicken in the mid day meals.

@KelMaundu TBH, it's not a colour thing, it's a tip thing. Sorry to say but most Africans (myself included) have very bad tipping habits, we rarely tip and when we do,it's a pitance. The poorly paid waiters and waitresses are just trying to hedge their bets.

To give you an idea of how difficult it is to get accepted to Sharif, out of 500,000 students who pass the national exam per year, only 0.16% (800) qualify for admission to Sharif. Compare that to MIT, whose undergraduate acceptance rate for the Class of 2030 was 4.6%.

@michealbrwn @NASA That wasn't the plan,and it's not a drive by where you can make sudden detours,to grab some milk .

@NASA How they landed on the moon then but won’t be able this time around someone make it make sense

“On the Moon is a photo of my family. I pray it reminds you that we and America and all of the world are cheering you on.” Apollo 16 astronaut Charlie Duke recorded a message for the Artemis II crew. Fitting that they hear his words as they close in on their lunar destination.

@EroniniPal25508 @jeff_njeff @amenya_nelson True,75% is domestic debt,

@makaur @jeff_njeff @amenya_nelson They don't own somuch to China, those debt are internal debt to there central bank not that they own china only 2% of that debt which is like $700b .study there debt first before talking about debt

America will not collapse but Iran might join the big boys table

For all you highly moronic moon conspiracy theorists... The moon landings happened. Here are four bulletproof reasons why the hoax theory collapses under its own weight. 1. We brought back 842 pounds of moon rocks and geologists worldwide have been slicing them open for 55 years Apollo 11–17 crews hauled back samples that scream "lunar origin" in every isotope, crystal structure, and chemical signature. These rocks have zero water content (Earth rocks almost always have some), solar wind particles embedded from billions of years of unfiltered space exposure, and microscopic glass beads formed by ancient meteorite impacts— stuff impossible to replicate with 1960s tech. Independent labs in the Soviet Union, Europe, Japan, and China analyzed them and confirmed: same age (3.7–4.5 billion years), same exotic minerals like armalcolite, same lack of oxidation. If NASA faked it, they'd have needed a secret lunar rock factory decades ahead of its time. Conspiracy theorists never explain how we pulled that off while simultaneously "faking" the tech to get there. These samples are still studied today in museums and universities— you can touch (protected) pieces yourself. 2. Laser reflectors are still on the Moon, and anyone with the right equipment can ping them right now Apollo 11, 14, and 15 crews placed corner-cube retroreflectors on the lunar surface. These are passive mirrors (no batteries, no moving parts) that bounce laser beams straight back to Earth. Observatories like McDonald in Texas, Apache Point in New Mexico, and facilities in France, Italy, and Australia have been firing lasers at them daily since 1969 and measuring the round-trip time to millimeter precision. The data proves the distance to the Moon (about 384,400 km) and how it's slowly receding (3.8 cm/year). China’s Chang’e missions and India’s Chandrayaan have imaged the exact landing sites, including the hardware and tracks. If it was faked, the hoaxers would have needed to secretly land mirrors on the Moon— or convince every laser-ranging scientist on Earth to lie for half a century. Spoiler: they didn’t. 3. Modern orbiters from multiple countries have photographed the landing sites in high resolution—footprints and all NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has snapped razor-sharp images of every Apollo site since 2009. You can see the descent stages, rover tracks, astronaut footprints, and even the exact paths they walked. Japan’s SELENE, India’s Chandrayaan-2, and China’s Chang’e-2 and Chang’e-3 orbiters independently confirmed the same shadows, hardware, and disturbance patterns. These aren’t blurry NASA photos from 1969, they’re crisp, multi-spectral images taken decades later by rival space agencies. The geometry matches perfectly: the flag is still there (Apollo 11’s fell over during liftoff), the rover is parked where they left it, and the blast craters under the landers are exactly as predicted. A studio set on Earth couldn’t survive that level of global scrutiny from space. 4. The conspiracy would have been bigger, dumber, and leakier than the actual mission Over 400,000 people worked on Apollo. That’s engineers, technicians, contractors, secretaries, and janitors across dozens of companies and universities. Not one deathbed confession, not one leaked memo, not one whistleblower with hard proof in 55+ years? That’s statistically insane. The Soviets were tracking every second of the missions in real time with their own radar and radio telescopes— they hated America’s guts and would have screamed "fake" at the first glitch if they could. Instead, they congratulated the U.S. and kept quiet. Faking it would have required inventing better special effects, vacuum chambers, and propulsion tech than what actually existed while hiding it from the very people who built the real rockets. Occam’s razor doesn’t just cut here; it eviscerates the hoax. The footage, the rocks, the reflectors, the photos, the tracking data— they all line up perfectly because the landings were real. The moon is still up there, waiting for the next crew. The evidence isn’t "believable", it’s undeniable. If you’re still on the fence, go look at an LRO image of Tranquility Base or bounce a laser off those reflectors yourself. Remember: conspiracy theory is the sophistication of the ignorant.

@jeff_njeff @amenya_nelson Debt will be their undoing,they owe so much to China,the Arabs who they have let down,and Europeans who they have been insulting.

@amenya_nelson America is in the verge of collapse, in 2026 you dont wake up and decide which countries of your choice you want to occupy! They touched venezuella, bombed iran and cuba,They have a huge problem with drugs, the immigrants who run their ecomony have become a threat,a failed state.

Absolute bombshell. UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese confirms Israel is actively executing the Greater Israel Project while the world is distracted. She exposes the ongoing Gaza genocide as just one brick in a massive system of apartheid that will not stop on its own.

In iran without hijab She is journalist Bushra Sheikh. Bushra states, "I am in Tehran, and no one has asked me why I am not wearing a hijab or why I am wearing Western attire." Women in Iran enjoy complete freedom; anything to the contrary is merely Western media propaganda.

It’s remarkable that Christians can publicly celebrate Easter in Tehran, but not in Jerusalem.

South Africa bled under white boots. Iran bled under sanctions for fifty years. No parts. No trade. No mercy. Still they stood. April fifth. Isfahan desert. US sent the rescue. Black Hawks. Little Birds. C-130s. MQ-9s. The big death machine roaring in. Iran hit back. Simple. Homegrown. No billions. No satellites. Just men with missiles made under blockade. Planes fell. Helicopters burned. Wreckage scattered like broken toys. Some the Americans blew themselves to keep secrets. Others Iran brought down clean. Twelve gone in one night. The myth cracked wide open. Air superiority they called it. Invincible sky gods. Now the sky answers back from a country half starved by their own laws. Fifty years of choking and still the punch lands. The machine keeps turning. Lockheed. Raytheon. Boeing. They count the losses and smile at the next contract. Your taxes. Your kids blood money. Planes burn. Pilots die. Mothers in Tehran and mothers in Ohio both cry the same tears. You see it now. One poor nation with nothing but will broke the spell. The terror force is not forever. It bleeds. It costs. It lies. Dismantle the damn thing. Melt the jets. Burn the contracts. Send the money home. Hospitals. Schools. Doctors. Books. Not bombs. Not another desert grave. Call it what you want. Communist. Traitor. Dreamer. The dead do not care about labels. The living do. America look hard. Your air superiority just got taught a lesson by the people you tried to starve. The machine is not invincible. It never was. Now choose. Life or the lie.
