I feel all of this. 👇👇👇

If a billionaire can't afford to pay their employees a living wage, they're not a successful business owner; they're just exploiting labor.

The first time Josh Johnson ever performed stand-up at this high school talent show, his teacher told him, “I'll see you on The Tonight Show one day”. Years later, he flew that same teacher out to watch his performance in person

“The plane went silent.” That’s what passengers aboard British Airways Flight 9 remembered most. Not screaming. Not alarms. Silence. On June 24, 1982, the Boeing 747 was flying over Java at 37,000 feet with 247 passengers onboard when Senior Engineer Barry Townley-Freeman noticed engine temperatures rising dangerously fast. Then passengers started calling flight attendants: “There’s something glowing outside the window.” Blue light flickered through the engines. White sparks danced across the wings. It looked beautiful. In the cockpit, Captain Eric Moody watched Engine 4 fail. Then Engine 2. Then 1. Then 3. Within minutes, all four engines were dead. A fully loaded 747 became a powerless glider descending toward the Indian Ocean. No thrust. Barely any radio communication. No idea what caused it. Passengers woke from sleep to something deeply unnatural: The absence of engine noise. At 37,000 feet, a jetliner should roar. Instead, there was only wind. Captain Moody got on the intercom and delivered one of aviation history’s most famous announcements: “Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.” Some passengers thought it was a joke. The flight attendants’ faces said otherwise. What nobody onboard knew was that the plane had flown directly through a volcanic ash cloud from Mount Galunggung. The ash was made of microscopic glass particles. Inside the engines, the particles melted at extreme temperatures and coated the turbines like cement, suffocating all four engines one by one. At 15,000 feet, oxygen masks deployed. At 12,000 feet, the crew prepared for a night ditching into the ocean. Captain Moody knew the odds of surviving a water landing in a 747 were almost nonexistent. Then he tried restarting the engines one final time. Engine 4 sputtered. Caught. Then another. Then another. All four engines roared back to life. But the nightmare still wasn’t over. The volcanic ash had sandblasted the cockpit windshield so badly the pilots could barely see through it. Captain Moody had to land a damaged 747 at night using only a tiny clear section of the side window while his first officer called out altitude and distance manually. Against every odd, the aircraft landed safely in Jakarta. Every single person onboard survived. After the incident, volcanic ash became a globally monitored aviation hazard. And Captain Eric Moody’s calm announcement became legendary — still taught today as a masterclass in crisis leadership: Tell the truth. Stay calm. Give people dignity. Even when you’re falling out of the sky.

Whoever invents an AI blocker is going to create one of the biggest inventions of our time, and I’m ready to pay for it.

Never before in history have billionaires existed at this scale. Billionaires hoard wealth that could solve hunger, housing, and healthcare crises; their existence is not a sign of success but of selfishness and systemic failure.

If you've ever helped empty out a boomers garage you know "we were just smart with our money and didn't buy tons of bullshit" is a bald faced lie.

Gunpowder used to be for entertainment, then it was used to kill. Drones used to be for entertainment, then they were used to kill. AI is used for entertainment.

Let me put it to you this way, if Kamala were president and all she did was sit in the Oval Office, drink wine and watch reruns of The View, our country would be ten times better off than it is right now.

Cult leader Jim Jones used to fake assassination attempts so that his cult would worship him harder. Just thought I’d share that history with everyone

Donald Trump ran for office for three reasons: 1) stay out of jail 2) exact revenge on his enemies 3) line his pockets Everything else he says is bullshit.

I’m trying to figure out how we went from “reduce your carbon footprint” to building AI pollution factories in every city.

wear the trench coat over a suit but stand far away from the wedding, ideally under a tree while smoking a cigarette. when people spot you, turn away and get into a black car and then drive away

I’m 45 and I’m telling y’all these kids have it so much worse than I did. I bought a 3 bedroom house at 22 for $124k and I had dollar menus and 89 cent Circle K gasoline. I really don’t understand the deep desire many of you have to deny our current reality.

Look up the ages of the Freedom Riders. Lots of young folks. So when people are discussing whether it’s fair to ask young people to boycott attending certain schools in the Deep South over gerrymandering, realize young people were a core component of the civil rights movement.

Quando estiver triste, lembre-se da vértebra C6, que está feliz por suportar sua cabeça todos os dias.

"Hurt" is not an original by Johnny Cash. The song was written by Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) in 1994 for the album The Downward Spiral. Rick Rubin had to insist several times on Cash recording his version, at first Johnny found the idea completely insane because the original version is industrial and noisy. At 71, already very ill, almost blind and with trembling hands, Cash completely transformed the band. The iconic video, directed by Mark Romanek, was filmed at the House of Cash (his own museum). June Carter Cash appears looking at him fondly, the video was shot in February 2003, a few months before she died (May) and Johnny himself (September). Trent Reznor was so moved that he declared, "This song is not mine anymore." It is considered one of the best covers of all time.

First Nations Chiefs are calling on Alberta’s premier to resign, accusing Danielle Smith of conspiring with separatists and violating Treaty rights “I hope you have your bags packed. When this referendum is defeated, I will gladly walk you to the border.”
