@gotrice2024 Couldn’t he have just said “ Get off the street”? #BrownKids are still just kids…..for God sakes….

Cops were called to an intersection where a group of around 20 teens on bikes and e-bikes were blocking the roads, doing stunts and disrupting traffic. When the officers arrive, one of them clips one of the suspects and tackles him to the ground to arrest him. While I agree that the kids needed to be accountable, I’m not sure if this was appropriate given their ages, was this appropriate to apprehend them like this?

@archeohistories PEOPLE Listen….STOP MAKING THE MOLECULAR BIOLOGY OF HUMAN SKIN CELLS MORE IMPORTANT THAN CANCER OR PEOPLE DYING IN MASS SHOOTINGS…. Race does not exist… it’s a fairytale…..arguing over it sounds like you are debating the existence of the tooth fairy
Stop the human divide!

Face Reconstruction of Queen Tiye (1398-1338 BC), based on her Mummy, found at the Tomb of Amenhotep II (KV35) in 1898. Now preserved at GEM, Cairo...
Tiye (Tye) was the Great Royal Wife of the Egyptian Pharaoh Amenhotep III (r. 1391-1353 BC), mother of Pharaoh Akhenaten (r. 1353-1336 BC) and grandmother of Tutankhamun (1341-1323 BC) ; her parents were Yuya and Thuya.
Mainstream scholars reject the notion that Egypt was a white or black civilization; they maintain that, despite the phenotypic diversity of Ancient and present-day Egyptians, applying modern notions of black or white races to ancient Egypt is anachronistic.
In addition, scholars reject the notion, implicit in the notion of a black or white Egypt hypothesis, that Ancient Egypt was racially homogeneous; instead, skin color varied between the peoples of Lower Egypt, Upper Egypt, and Nubia, who in various eras rose to power in Ancient Egypt.
Moreover, "Most scholars believe that Egyptians in antiquity looked pretty much as they look today, with a gradation of darker shades toward the Sudan". Within Egyptian history, despite multiple foreign invasions, the demographics were not shifted by large migrations.

@Mjolnir9775 @archeohistories Finally some common freaking sense!
I am embarrassed by how Radical the racism is everywhere…. THE SUN makes brown people brown morons. Send people from Norway to live in the Sudan and come back 5000 years later… bing bada boom

@archeohistories So funny that all of you sound so racist lmao can’t explain why there’s multiple colors of people all over the world. Honestly just treat everyone with dignity. The past is over. Only you as a individual have the power to love. Yada yada yada.

@Matt_Pinner How old are you? Gee, I feel old just reading this! ☹️ of course! We walked to the movies on Saturdays and played dodgeball on Sundays and walked to school every day! Spent the summer building tents and slept in our backyard running after fireflies….Now it seems like a dream.

@washingtonpost Dump them all! We need to start over and get congress people in office that actually see that we are human and need healthcare. Plus they should pay for their own healthcare and we need to stop footing the bill for them.

Breaking news: Moderate House Republicans join Democrats to force a vote on ACA subsidies, which are likely to expire.
Speaker Mike Johnson had refused to allow a vote, provoking the strongest rebellion among Republicans from swing districts to date. wapo.st/45e8Npk

@confuseddhead @Rainmaker1973 I thought the exact same thing

@Rainmaker1973 I'd be more concerned about whether other bacteria are awakening from their slumber? Because something 34 million years old can be quite persistent .. 👉😬✌

Beneath Antarctica's colossal ice shield—over a mile thick—scientists have unveiled a pristine, prehistoric realm frozen in time for at least 34 million years.
This sprawling "lost world," spanning roughly 12,000 square miles (bigger than Belgium), boasts jagged peaks, steep ridges, and deep river-carved valleys from an era when the continent teemed with flowing waters, lush forests, and possibly dinosaurs under the supercontinent Gondwana.
Buried deep in East Antarctica's Wilkes Land, it's a snapshot of Earth before the deep freeze, preserved because the overlying ice has barely budged—no grinding erosion, just a natural vault sealing it away.
The team used a combination of satellite imagery and radio-echo sounding – a method where planes beam radio waves through the ice and measure echoes – to map the unseen terrain. What emerged was a stunning landscape: jagged peaks, plunging valleys, and steep ridges shaped by ancient rivers before ice covered the continent.
The frozen terrain lies 1.6 miles beneath the surface in East Antarctica, in a region roughly 12,000 square miles in size.
While the exact timing is uncertain, they estimate the land last saw sunlight at least 14 million years ago – and likely more than 34 million years, when Antarctica first transitioned into a frozen desert.
Unlike most glacial terrain, where moving ice grinds away the underlying rock, the ice here has remained relatively stationary. That’s why the landscape beneath is so perfectly preserved – almost like a natural time capsule.
Scientists warn, however, that this untouched landscape is vulnerable. If Earth’s climate continues warming, the region could eventually be exposed. Temperatures between 3°C and 7°C warmer than today – similar to conditions between 14 and 34 million years ago – could trigger significant melting.

Voyager 1 is the loneliest pioneer humanity has ever launched, and it is still flying perfectly, forty-eight years later, on a course set in 1977 that has never needed a single correction.Imagine that: on September 5, 1977, a 825-kilogram golden spacecraft lifted off from Cape Canaveral. Engineers gave it one decisive push with gravity assists from Jupiter and Saturn, then essentially said, “Go. We’ll never touch you again.” And it listened. For thirty-seven straight years (until the first tiny trim in 2017, only to align the antenna), Voyager 1 hurtled through space without a single thruster firing to fix its path. Not one. That’s like throwing a paper airplane from New York and having it glide untouched through a window in Paris, four decades later.Right now, in December 2025, Voyager 1 is 163 times farther from the Sun than Earth is, more than 24.4 billion kilometers away, the farthest human-made object in history. It crossed the heliopause (the Sun’s protective bubble) in 2012 and is now sailing through true interstellar space, where the wind between the stars is colder than anything we can create on Earth. Yet its trajectory is still so impeccable that the flight team jokes the spacecraft could hit a cosmic bullseye drawn half a century ago.It has already given us the pale blue dot photo, the first portraits of Jupiter’s raging storms and Saturn’s rings in impossible detail, and the discovery that moons like Io and Titan are worlds stranger than fiction. Now, with its power fading to barely four watts (less than a refrigerator lightbulb), it still whispers data back across the void on a 23-watt signal that takes 22 hours and 55 minutes to reach us, one-way.Voyager 1 isn’t just a probe. It’s a message in a bottle flung toward the galaxy, carrying the sounds of Earth (whales, Chuck Berry, and a baby’s cry) on its golden record. And it’s still flying straight, as if to prove that human foresight, once aimed true, can outrun time itself.Out there in the dark, a tiny golden speck keeps its ancient promise: keep going, perfectly, forever.
