I feel all of this. 👇👇👇

It’s happening. They are preparing for the end of the petrodollar. Trump really, really fucked up here. And Congress did fuck all.

Israel bombed the Rafie Nia Synagogue in Tehran. Yes, you read that right. Israel bombed a synagogue. In Iran. Most Americans probably didn't know that there are ~100 synagogues in Iran, 30 of which are in Tehran.

CAN WE ALL FUCKIN SEE????? INNOCENT KIDS,WOMEN,MEN, AND EVERYONE THAT HAS "PALESTINIAN" AS AN IDENTITY IS GOING TO BE MURDERED BCUS WE LET ISRAEL COMMIT A GENOCIDE AND MULTIPLE WAR CRIMES FOR 77 YEARS. IVE NEVER FELT SO FUCKIN USELESS IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. SPEAK UPPPP FOR THEM.

Each bee has four wings. So this veil took about 5,000 dead bees to make. A single healthy hive holds up to 60,000. Luci Jockel is a jeweler out of Rhode Island School of Design who only uses bees that died of natural causes. She found beekeepers who’d lost their hives and made a deal: she’d put in physical labor helping them rebuild, and they’d give her the wings from the bees that didn’t survive. A Rhode Island beekeeper named Paul Whewell had lost everything to a harsh winter. She worked his hives, learned to keep bees from him, then started her own colonies with her dad. Other wings came from rooftop hives at the RISD Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, and the MAD Museum in Manhattan. Each wing is about half the width of a dime. She glued them one at a time with archival glue, the kind museums use to preserve artwork, to create a material she calls “bee wing lace.” The pattern comes from Dutch lace collars she studied in 1600s portraits at the RISD Museum. Nine years of work. The finished piece is a mourning veil, made to grieve the bees it came from. Jockel started building this in 2017. Back then, US beekeepers were already losing around 40% of their colonies every year. Last year it hit 55.6%, the worst since tracking began in 2010. Commercial operations lost 62%. In raw numbers: 1.6 million colonies gone in twelve months, with damage above $600 million in replacement costs and lost honey production alone. Bees keep most of your food supply running. About 75% of US crop production depends on them. California’s almond harvest alone needs 1.4 million hives trucked in every spring, roughly 60% of all managed colonies in the country, for a crop worth $6 billion a year. Total annual value to American farming: $34 billion. She needed 5,000 bees and nine years to build one veil. One in every three bites of food you eat depends on the ones still alive.

The highest quality video of the moon was just released… this is so beautiful.

Someone could go to school for 4 years and study aerospace engineering, then get a PhD with a dissertation related to orbital mechanics, and some instagram influencer who watched a youtube video will be like "actually that guy is wrong" on a topic related to space travel and people will believe them. I'm not sure how we got here, but I hope we go back to a society where credibility is earned with rigorous training in the associated field, not by a popularity contest.

The '530 page book of lies' also known as the '2026 World Cup Bid Document' stated that America would prioritise public transport over private vehicle use. Calling a stadium "Boston stadium" but the stadium is actually a totally inaccessible 25 miles away is like Scotland hosting a tournament at the "Glasgow Stadium" - when the game's actually at Rugby Park in Kilmarnock. To then quadruple the price of trains - which can only take 20,000 people - and charge $175 for a car parking space is an absolute abomination. There are only 5,000 car parking spots. Even if every car has 3 people in it, that still leaves nearly 30,000 fans attempting to get to the game by bus? This is going to be fucking carnage. Folk paying $1,000 for a ticket and missing the game is an absolute certainty. Tickets which by the way the 2026 bid book stated would range from $21-$323. At Euro 2028 there will be fans that get match tickets to ALL THREE of Scotland's group games, their train travel to every game, food and drink at all 3 games - and still have a good bit of change from the $175 car parking charge in "Boston".

NASA is the best of America, what America used to be: professional, science-based, dedicated to excellence, idealistic, and dazzlingly ambitious. May America one day recover its NASA soul.

NUNCA SUBESTIMES A NADIE Una mujer con un vestido barato y su esposo con un traje modesto se bajaron del tren en Boston y caminaron tímidamente hasta la oficina del secretario del presidente de la Universidad de Harvard. —Nos gustaría ver al presidente —dijo el hombre suavemente. —Está ocupado —respondió el secretario. —Esperaremos —respondió la mujer. Durante horas, el secretario los ignoró, esperando que la pareja finalmente se fuera, pero no lo hicieron. El secretario finalmente decidió interrumpir al presidente. —Tal vez si habla con ellos unos minutos se irán —le dijo el secretario al presidente. Él hizo una mueca de disgusto pero accedió y se dirigió con arrogancia hacia la pareja. La mujer le dijo: —Tuvimos un hijo que asistió a Harvard durante un año. Amaba Harvard y era feliz aquí, pero murió en un accidente. Mi esposo y yo quisiéramos erigir un edificio en el campus en memoria de nuestro hijo. El presidente exclamó: —¡¿¡Un edificio!?! ¿Tiene idea de cuánto cuesta un edificio? ¡Aquí en Harvard hemos gastado más de 7.5 millones de dólares en edificios! Por un momento la mujer se quedó en silencio. Luego se volvió hacia su esposo y dijo suavemente: —¿Es tan poco dinero para empezar una universidad? ¿Por qué no creamos la nuestra propia? El Sr. Leland Stanford y su esposa se levantaron y se fueron, viajando a Palo Alto, California, donde establecieron la universidad que lleva su nombre, la Universidad de Stanford. Hoy la Universidad de Stanford está clasificada como la número uno en el mundo, por delante de Harvard. Qué fácil es juzgar por las apariencias, y qué fácil es equivocarse cuando... se juzga por las apariencias.

The guy with a gay father voted against gay marriage, married a refugee then helped her family illegally come into canada and screams about how "fake refugees' are destroying Canada. And somehow amassed a net worth of almost 10 million on a tax payer salary for over 22 years.

The last time France pulled its gold out of New York, the entire global monetary system collapsed within six years. In 1963, De Gaulle launched a secret operation called "Vide-Gousset." 44 boat trips. 129 flights. 3,313 tonnes of gold repatriated from the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England over three years. He believed America's spending would destroy the dollar's peg to gold. He was right. Nixon closed the gold window in 1971. The dollar lost 96% of its value against gold by 1980. Now Macron just did it again. 129 tonnes sold in New York, repurchased in Europe, moved to Paris. The official reason? "Higher quality gold bars." The Banque de France insists the move was "not politically motivated." Here's what actually happened. The BdF made €12.8 billion in profit on the swap by executing 26 transactions at record gold prices. They turned a €7.7 billion net loss in 2024 into an €8.1 billion profit in 2025. That's not a bar-quality upgrade. That's a central bank printing a one-time gain while quietly exiting the U.S. financial system. The queue behind them is what matters. Germany still has 1,200 tonnes in Manhattan. Italy has 1,060 tonnes. Combined value: $245 billion. Politicians in both countries are publicly demanding repatriation. The Taxpayers Association of Europe sent letters to both finance ministries. A World Gold Council survey found 59% of central banks now store gold domestically, up from 41% in 2024. France moved first, made $15 billion doing it, and called it maintenance. De Gaulle did the same thing 60 years ago and called it sovereignty. The vocabulary changed. The trade didn't.

Sir Christopher Lee met Rasputin's assassins, was a RAF intelligence officer in WWII, spoke 9 languages, was Ian Fleming's cousin, and was the only actor in “The Lord of the Rings” to have met J.R.R. Tolkien. He was also married to the same woman for over 50 years. What a life!

Massive geopolitical shift. Al Jazeera confirms regional powers like Qatar, Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan are completely bypassing Washington to mediate peace with Iran. The Middle East realizes the US is only bringing destruction and is taking matters into their own hands.

"We went to the moon in 1969 with less computing power" NO WE DIDN'T NASA employed 400,000 people at that time to run the calculations for us The physical machine may have had less RAM than today, but there were still millions of computations taking place With human brains

History of the world according to MAGA In the beginning, God created America. 1492 - Italian-American Columbus discovers America. 1776 - American farmers defeat the entire British Empire alone. (The French were just on holiday.) 1918 - America single-handedly wins WW1. Arriving 3 years late counts. 1945 - America single-handedly wins WW2. Arriving 2.5 years late still counts. 1954 - America wins the Korean War. Alone. 1975 - America could have won Vietnam. Decided not to bother. 1991 - America wins Gulf War. 35-nation coalition was just there for the photos. 2001 - America wins Afghanistan alone. For 20 years. Then Biden. 2016 - Trump elected. Russia not mentioned. 2020 - Trump loses. Fraud. Obviously. 2024 - Trump wins. Landslide. Very different. 2025 - America generously threatens to invade Canada. Tariffs the entire world. Europe ungrateful. 2026 - America offer to liberate Greenland and closes the world’s most important waterway to demonstrate strategic genius. Europe refuses to fix it. Ungrateful freeloaders.

Shouts to the astronauts for being willing to make this weird. No need to dig him out of this hole

NASA has 32 cameras on the Artemis II spacecraft. The top science priority during the Moon flyby was the four astronauts looking out the window and talking about what they saw. NASA's lunar science lead confirmed it. What the crew says out loud about the Moon's surface matters more to the science team than anything the cameras capture. NASA trained this crew in Iceland's volcanic highlands and at an impact crater in Labrador, Canada, teaching them to read rock textures and spot geological details at 25,000 mph. There's a reason NASA trusts human eyes over cameras. In 1972, Apollo 17 astronaut Harrison Schmitt was walking near a small crater called Shorty when he scuffed the dirt with his boot. The soil underneath was orange. Schmitt was the only trained geologist to ever walk on the Moon, and he got so excited he blurred most of his own photos. That orange soil turned out to be tiny glass beads from a volcanic eruption 3.64 billion years ago, one of the biggest finds of the entire Apollo program. A boot and a pair of trained eyes caught what no camera did. For this flyby, NASA sent the crew a final list of 30 surface targets. They killed all the cabin lights to cut window reflections. They worked in pairs, rotating every 55 to 85 minutes, calling out craters and lava flows while scientists at Johnson Space Center analyzed everything in real time. Pilot Victor Glover reported that the Moon's south pole, where NASA wants to land astronauts by 2028, looked "more jagged" than the north with much steeper terrain. One observation from a human eye at 4,070 miles could shape where the next crew touches down. At 6:44 PM Eastern, Orion slipped behind the far side and went radio silent for 40 minutes. Four people, completely cut off from every other human alive, the Moon blocking every signal back to Earth. The last time humans experienced that was December 1972. They broke the all-time distance record on the way. Apollo 13 held it for 56 years at 248,655 miles from Earth. Artemis II passed that mark and kept going to 252,760. Jim Lovell, who commanded Apollo 13 and held that record his whole life, died last August at 97, eight months before these four beat it. Before he died, Lovell recorded a message for the crew. "Welcome to my old neighborhood," he told them. "Don't forget to enjoy the view." The crew named two craters during the flyby. One for their spacecraft, Integrity. The other, Carroll, for Commander Reid Wiseman's late wife, a nurse who cared for newborns and died of cancer in 2020 at 46. Wiseman has raised their two daughters alone since. When Jeremy Hansen read the name to Mission Control, his voice broke. The crew hugged. Wiseman and Koch wiped tears. Then they got back to work, because they still had hours of Moon left to map with their eyes.

THINGS PILOTS KNOW THAT PASSENGERS DON'T 1. Turbulence has never brought down a modern commercial aircraft. 2. The safest seats on a plane are toward the rear. 3. Cabin air is cleaner than the air in most office buildings. 4. Pilots are legally required to eat different meals in case of food poisoning. 5. Most flights carry more fuel than officially needed fear of fuel shortage is never real. 6. Autopilot flies more than 90% of every flight, but pilots are always monitoring. 7. Lightning strikes planes regularly,it's designed for it. 8. The brace position actually works. It's not a myth. 9. Phones in airplane mode don't affect navigation,it's a network congestion rule, not a safety one. 10. Dawn and dusk are statistically the safest times to fly. 11. The crew dims cabin lights before landing at night so your eyes adjust immediately in case of evacuation not for atmosphere.

The coalition of evil, Israel and America destroyed the UNESCO-listed Golestan Palace in Tehran—once a shimmering "Rose Garden" of intricate mirrors and 18th-century art. It now lies covered in the shattered glass of its own walls.
