@Cloud1a7 Looks like he fell asleep at the wheel. Timestamp is 5AM. Probably the tail end of an all-night shift.

Betting he’s no longer employed there 😂

@gtfithbibygda @JeffBezos To be fair, it looks like Jeff's rocket toasted the landing pad a lot harder than SpaceX usually does.

@JeffBezos Oh wow incredible Jeff would appear that you’ve hired some engineers from SpaceX and you’re copying exactly what they’re doing. Why why are you doing this? Can’t you afford to pay them to do something unique

If you used a computer or game system from 1990 to 2005, what’s one game you still reminisce about?

@JesseKellyDC The shelves will be empty because they will be continually looted.

I am legit so excited to watch this whole predictable story play out. It’s like watching Old Yeller for the 20th time. You know what’s coming. But you’re still watching.

@JonKatz79 Back then I used the clever trick of driving junkers that no respectable car thief would be caught dead stealing.

I'm "used the club to keep my car from getting stolen" years old.

@akafaceUS Yes, these drug cocktails were massively abused and were eventually replaced by better treatments, but they worked against Cholera in an era when nothing else did, and saved a lot of lives in the process.

@akafaceUS This was a variant on a medicine called Chlorodyne, which. although it sounds insane, was actually the first effective lifesaving treatment for Cholera. The morphine stopped the deadly diarrhea, while the rest of the ingredients relieved the pain and distress.

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, before strict drug regulations, medicine often teetered between healing and harm. “One Night Cough Syrup” is a striking example: it was sold as a remedy for sleepless, coughing patients and openly included alcohol, cannabis indica, chloroform, and morphine on its label. For those desperate for relief, the syrup likely delivered—quieting coughs, relaxing the body, and bringing on sleep. But with such potent ingredients, waking up wasn’t always certain. Made by Kohler Manufacturing after 1906, the product met the Food and Drugs Act’s requirement to disclose ingredients. However, the ingredient list reads more like a recipe for sedation than safe medicine. At the time, though, this was the norm: opioids were standard in cough medicines, chloroform was thought to ease breathing, and alcohol and cannabis were used to calm nerves. Relief was the priority, even if safety was overlooked. By the end of the twentieth century, research showed chloroform could cause cancer and heart problems, and opioids became strictly regulated, forcing major changes in cough remedies. Bottles like this serve as haunting reminders of a past when medicine was experimental and sometimes far more dangerous than the ailments it aimed to treat.

@itsmorganariel Unprecedented!

Every Christian must disavow Donald J. Trump NOW. This blasphemous mockery of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ cannot be tolerated.

@CynicalPublius This was a huge mistake that will seriously harm the Catholic church. For the Pope to unmask himself as a Democratic party political operative will utterly destroy his credibility with conservative Catholics.

One does not need to be a rocket scientist to realize that the reason Obama henchman David Axelrod met with Pope Leo last week was to coordinate a media propaganda blitz and quasi-color revolution designed to separate faithful American Roman Catholics from support for the MAGA agenda.

@aakashgupta Another interesting aspect is that when you become sexually aroused, your brain automatically suppresses your disgust instinct, which normally makes you shy away from things like kissing that are biologically risky. Mother Nature has so many tricks up her sleeve!

A 10-second kiss transfers roughly 80 million bacteria between two people. Your immune system knows this. Your brain does it anyway, because the neurochemistry on the other side of that transaction is one of the most engineered reward loops in human biology. Your lips have a higher concentration of nerve endings than any other body part. When they make contact, five of your twelve cranial nerves fire simultaneously, lighting up the somatosensory cortex more intensely than stimulation of the genitals. The legendary sex researcher Alfred Kinsey documented women reaching orgasm from deep kissing alone. No other body part contact required. The chemical sequence runs in layers. Dopamine floods the prefrontal cortex first, activating the same reward pathways as cocaine and sugar. Then oxytocin drops cortisol levels, flipping you from stress response to pair-bonding. Then serotonin dips in a way that makes you obsessively think about the other person. Researchers found that serotonin levels in people newly in love resemble the serotonin profiles of patients with OCD. But here's the part that should genuinely unsettle you. Oxford evolutionary biologists traced kissing back 16.9 to 21.5 million years through Bayesian phylogenetic modeling of primate behavior. Chimps, bonobos, orangutans, and at least one gorilla species all do it. Neanderthals almost certainly did too. The behavior predates every human culture, every language, every civilization. And yet it only shows up in 46% of human cultures today. You're running 21-million-year-old primate firmware. The "decision" happened long before you had a prefrontal cortex to deliberate about it.

@esrtweet Black Water is a terrific song. I'll still turn that one up if it comes on the radio.

Today I've been experiencing something that isn't exactly nostalgia. I let YouTube pull me into a playlist that happened to include a lot of Doobie Brothers. If y'all aren't retirement age, y'all probably don't remember the Doobie Brothers. They were a pop band. They had a bunch of good years in the 1970s. I listened to them. Didn't hate them. Thought of them as kind of bubblegum. Way below the level of the stuff I actually liked, the progressive rock and the jazz fusion. Then I forgot about them for 40 years. And now, listening to them again, it's amazing how good they sound. Because while they're still bubblegum, the technical level of pop music has mostly sunk out of sight by comparison. This isn't me being an old fart. I've seen formal musicological analyses in print, and I've heard people like Rick Beato rant on this topic. Pop music has been getting steadily simpler, more repetitive, and more rhythm-focused over the decades. The kind of melodic invention that was table stakes for a throwaway Doobie Brothers single in 197x is something almost no contemporary music producer bothers with any more. It's not that they're incompetent, it's that audiences don't want it enough - don't reward it. So the Doobie Brothers sound better now than they did when I first heard them as a teenager. Not because I've changed, or because I haven't changed, but because what my ears automatically compare them against has gotten worse. That's sad.

@cqcqcqdx It was the coolest laptop ever. I still have mine, but time has not treated it well. The case is coated with a rubbery substance that has now turned gooey, and the power supply capacitors have gone bad, so it no longer operates. At one point, I had it running Linux though!

When laptops were fun the 1995 IBM Thinkpad 701C. The 701 transforming ThinkWrite keyboard is the stuff of legend. More info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Think…

@honeymoon250 The trick is to cross your eyes like it's a stereogram and bring the two images together. This makes any differences jump out at you as you look around the image. In this case, in #3, the window line goes up to the roof, while it stops short in #1, #2 and #4.

Only sharp eyes will spot the difference Which one is different: 1, 2, 3, or 4?

@Ravious101 Guess they won't need to spend time digging out the stump then!

Imagine this!

@CryptoNobler Do you autopost this every week?

@QueenAnticommie A big part of skiing is knowing and respecting your own limits. This guy has a lot of skill, but he was barely in control for the whole clip, and paid for it in the end.

I really wish I learned how to ski. It looks so fun.

@OlgaBazova @TheLastRefuge2 The ambiguity over the state of their nuclear program was carefully calibrated to allow Iran to launch direct military attacks against Western countries, while shielding them from being demolished in a direct military attack like is happening now. It worked for 47 years.

@TheLastRefuge2 Ali Khamenei put fatwa on nuclear weapons, meaning Iran practically outlawed nuclear weapons.

All the intellectually dishonest people, in combination with the crowd of anti-Trump narcissistic podcasters, will never pause to answer this one simple question: Q) Why, after all these years, didn't China or Russia just give Iran a Nuclear Weapon?

@GlennThrush He tends to get overlooked because he wasn't playing all the time. If you watch his concert videos he spends more time singing and dancing than playing guitar, but that was a deliberate choice. When he does pick up the guitar and cut loose he's out of this world.

He’s terrific but he is not in fact a top 100 guitarist —

@Real_Ames AI. The people's clothing is 1980s, but the mix of cars is completely implausible for that era, and the license plates are AI gibberish.

What immediately comes to mind when you see this?
