@0hour1 Pontius? Seems weird 😕

You know what would be comical if there was no pilot and it was all a plan to get all the dummies in one spot.

@0hour1 Ayatolla, but I knew she wouldn't listen! 🥁😆🏆

Ayatollah Alright, Private, you're now a 5-star general!

@PlanetOfMemes Got yellower too. 🤔

I can't believe how much the earth has shrunk since 1972.

@visegrad24 Ok I'll say it-kinda mid for living that kind of primo lifestyle...

The grandniece of slain Iranian terror mastermind Gen. Qasem Soleimani lived a lavish life in the USA whilst her mother promoted the Iranian Regime. Sarinasadat Hosseiny, 25, and her mother, Hamideh Soleimani Afshar, were arrested after the State Department terminated their permanent resident status and had their green cards revoked due to her ties the terrorist Iranian regime.

@histories_arch On sum: Thanks to Neanderthals, we have the adage: " Red on the head, fire in bed." 🔥

For tens of thousands of years, Neanderthals roamed the cold, cloud-covered landscapes of Europe and western Asia, and at least some of them did so with fiery red hair and pale skin. The discovery came in October 2007, when an international team of scientists published a landmark study in the journal Science, announcing they had successfully extracted and analyzed a pigmentation gene from the bones of two Neanderthals. The scientists were led by Holger Römpler of Harvard University and the University of Leipzig, Carles Lalueza-Fox of the University of Barcelona, and Michael Hofreiter of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig. They extracted, amplified, and sequenced a pigmentation gene called MC1R from the bones of a 43,000-year-old Neanderthal from El Sidrón, Spain, and a 50,000-year-old individual from Monti Lessini, Italy. The MC1R gene is the same gene that controls hair and skin color in all modern mammals, including humans. The gene is responsible for producing a protein that helps regulate the balance between the red-and-yellow pigment pheomelanin and the black-and-brown eumelanin. Modern people with relatively inactive MC1R receptors tend to have red hair and pale skin. When the researchers analyzed the Neanderthal DNA, they found a variant that has never been observed in modern humans. To figure out what this unique variant actually did, the scientists had to get creative. They inserted the Neanderthal variant into human cells known as melanocytes, the cells that produce the pigment giving skin, hair, and eyes their color. The team detected the exact same loss of function in the Neanderthal form of MC1R as is found in modern redheads that results in pheomelanin synthesis, providing strong evidence that the Neanderthals under study were indeed fire-haired. Dr. Lalueza-Fox later described the find as like finding a needle in a genomic haystack, admitting he could not believe the results at first and asked his colleagues to repeat the experiment before accepting them. The variant was ultimately confirmed in two separate Neanderthals across three different labs. To rule out contamination from modern humans, the researchers took an additional step. The scientists checked some 3,700 people, including those previously sequenced for the gene as well as everyone involved in the excavation and genetic analysis of the two Neanderthals, and none showed the mutation. This confirmed the variant was entirely unique to Neanderthals and had not been accidentally introduced into the ancient samples. Team member Michael Hofreiter of the Max Planck Institute noted that in modern humans, a variant with this low level of activity produces classically pale skin and red hair in individuals carrying two copies of the gene. The researchers calculated that at least one in every hundred Neanderthals would have carried two copies of this variant. The international team concluded that at least one percent of Neanderthals were likely redheads and that Neanderthal pigmentation may have been as varied as that of modern humans. The evolutionary logic behind these traits makes considerable sense given where Neanderthals lived. Anthropologist Nina Jablonski of Pennsylvania State University noted that the dark skin beneficial in Africa offers no advantage at high latitudes, and in cloudy Europe, pale skin facilitates vitamin D production, which would have been an evolutionary advantage. Lighter skin increases absorption of the limited sunlight available, which is necessary for vitamin D production. Perhaps the most striking scientific detail of the entire discovery was what the results revealed about the relationship between Neanderthals and modern humans. The data suggest that Neanderthals and Homo sapiens followed different evolutionary paths to the same red-haired appearance, meaning each species developed this trait independently through separate mutations. #archaeohistories

@alphafox Lost many friends and family...😥most of all floating everything I own across the 8 foot deep forge in early spring to avoid the $50;ferry toll. It should have worked in theory

Have you ever died of dysentery?

@atensnut Give me 2 good reason not to do this?!

Oh wow!! Would you do this?

@ksorbs It was "interesting" 20 years ago. Now I'm no longer interested, bc at least 30-40% of our population has self-labotomized.

It's interesting the Dems in DC want America to fail.

@miriam_riviera @CMRestler This is the best of us. A person who did nothing in life other than get a plurality of midwits to actually show up on primary day...huge victory!

@CMRestler F U , none of us want these rat incubators . Why does one business get to use public space to make money for them ? Can open a shed ? Can I sell on the street ? Why does one business get preference over another just because their business is in front of a certain spot?

It’s finally April, it’s 78 degrees outside — and it’s officially outdoor dining season in NYC! But we should be able to dine al fresco year-round. We’ve introduced a bill to eliminate some of the overly burdensome regulations on outdoor dining and allow it year-round.

@Mysta_Darin @rand_longevity Thanks Darin from Ghana!

@trimmerfund @rand_longevity We spend more on wars

why did we wait 50 years to go back to the moon?

@LibertyCappy -2. You can't even hold that thing without losing a pint of blood within 10 minutes of picking it up.

Rate my home defense setup

Wataduesch!? I was 7 going on 8. First vivid memory of tragedy I have. They blewed up live. GFY

@ImMeme0 @bradlander @ZohranKMamdani Both transplants from far away lands, here to preach about the evils of every single one of us that disagree.

You and that clown Mamdani are turning our once-great city into an unaffordable, crime-infested, third-world shithole! You're both destroying everything decent people built, flooding it with chaos, skyrocketing costs, and turning safe streets into war zones. Enough is enough, get the hell out and stop ruining lives!

So humbled to have @ZohranKMamdani's support. Together, we'll build a city & a country that puts working people first. Counting on you to help us compete with Goldman's massive personal wealth and super PAC money. Please chip in before tonight's deadline: secure.actblue.com/donate/lander-…

@0hour1 Literally just had the same flashback x.com/i/status/20394…

Generation X had a different space hyped launch just saying. They rolled the TV carts into every classroom and got us all snacks we got to meet the astronauts giving lectures before flight. Then the countdown 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Lift off 15 seconds later booom Then the teacher unplugged the TV and said brb kids. Yah memories just saying.

@CynicalPublius We also did "activities" and study units on the mission crew, and of course Christie and her story, for weeks leading up...I wish I could remember the looks of the teachers/adults at the time. Just didn't hit for a long while.

@CynicalPublius Unfortunately I'm a late late GX'er... was huge NASA fanboy. My first experience with live launches was Challenger. They wheeled in TV's to my ES classroom and... well that was the first real time traumatic, grief-processing experience I remember with clarity to this day.

RE: The Moon Launch OK, look, I admit it. I am an astronaut fanboy nerd (except for one ex-astronaut politician whose head resembles a scrotum). If you are a late Boomer or early Gen Xer, you remember. You heard Genesis read from an astronaut orbiting the Moon. You and all your friends wanted to be astronauts, more than anything. You remember that your parents bought your family’s first color TV to watch Neil Armstrong on the Moon. You built the LEM and CSM models and only killed a few brain cells with the glue. You were scared and prayed during Apollo 13. You had the lunchbox. You were sad when they cut off funding for the rest of the Moon landings. You were amazed when they saved Skylab. You watched all the movies. (You saw “The Right Stuff” and “Apollo 13” at least 20 times each.) You cried over Challenger and Columbia. You got older and wondered why we became so timid. Why not more of the Moon? Why not Mars? Why not beyond? The ISS seemed so…. limiting. You always said that the US space program was the one thing you did not care how much your were taxed for. Elon became a god of space travel, and you were there for it. So it’s our day, fellow astronaut nerd fanboys and fangirls. Put on your make-believe astronaut beanies and goggles, be 8 again, and remember the way you took that refrigerator cardboard box and turned it into the inside of an Apollo capsule with magic markers, Scotch tape and buttons stolen from your Mom’s sewing box. WE’RE GOING BACK TO THE FREAKING MOON BABY!!!!!🚀❤️🤍💙🇺🇸

@maggiewise111 Surely most of that office space can shift to far more profitable and sustainable luxury homeless shelters and migrant hotels. Everyone knows these folks contribute far more to the economy than it costs to house, feed, cloth, medicate them. This smells like a double win to me!

🚨 New York Governor ERUPTS in Fury After Citigroup Announces Massive Move of 11,000 jobs OUT of New York🚨 In a devastating blow to New York’s economy, banking giant city group is shifting a staggering 11,000 jobs out of the state has part of a major restructuring and a cost-cutting drive. Thousands of these positions, many in high paying finance and technology roles are heading to lower cost locations across the US and overseas, leaving New York workers and communities realing.

@Rainmaker1973 That's awful. I love your content hope you get it resolved 🙏

@trimmerfund This is not impacting all the accounts in the same way. If I have been chosen to be eliminated, I think this is a good way to do it, because even a stupid would understand my posts have no reach, but the same exact content reposted by another account skyrockets.

I think it's part of freedom of speech, so I'll keep on talking about this. This account has been heavily deboosted in the last 2 weeks, and it's touching its lowest levels of performances: but tomorrow it may be even worse, given the chart, which means disappearing. I don't know if this has a reason, since the same contents are exchanged and posted between accounts and getting enormous performances, if compared to mine. I understand all the algorithm modifications: I totally don't understand why some accounts can still and always thrive whatever these modifications are and with the same exact materials I share and sometimes find first. This is a message to say that, I'm trying to go on, but it's not granted. Physical issues are making everything a lot more difficult and I'm still a human, operating alone. I hope indications can be provided, or maybe checks conducted to understand why the performance indicators have such a descending pattern, when, again, accounts post the exact same materials with totally different outcome.
