@JakePearson303 It literally turns your brain blue. You don’t have to be an MD to understand that is simply NOT GOOD.

Imagine a weapon for your brain and body, discovered over a century ago, that was so effective they had to bury it. It was too cheap to be profitable. It's time to add that forgotten weapon back to your arsenal. It's Methylene Blue. Here’s how it work… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@proudamericanst @RealDeanCain Hard to imagine anyone ever surpassing her. ❤️

There have been some great renditions - but Whitney takes it. She set the tone for a generation of patriots.

@ksorbs That was despicable. But what is equally despicable are the ugly, nakedly racist comments in this string. Of all the black people I’ve known, not one of them would do such a thing. One does not need to engage in toxic empathy to judge individuals as individuals. Grow a heart

@konstructivizm Regardless of the upgraded visuals, it’s notable that the Venera data signal an abrupt shift in public policy. The powers that be went from alarmism over a coming Ice Age to Global Warming as soon as they saw its potential to convince the population of their manipulations.

:This is the last thing Venera 14 ever saw on Venus... before the planet's hellish atmosphere melted it alive.On March 5, 1982, the Soviet lander pulled off the unthinkable. It plunged through a choking soup of carbon dioxide laced with sulfuric acid, survived crushing pressures equivalent to nearly a kilometer underwater, and touched down on a surface hot enough to melt lead—465°C (869°F).What it revealed was a true cosmic inferno.The image is drenched in an oppressive, golden-orange glow. This isn't a camera trick or faded film—it's the planet's insanely dense atmosphere scattering away every trace of blue light. Stand on Venus, and this is exactly how the world would look: a hazy, sulfurous twilight over a barren, volcanic plain.The surface is a jigsaw of jagged, flat basaltic slabs, forged by relentless volcanic fury. No gentle soil or rolling dunes—just hard, fractured rock stretching to the hazy horizon.But the real legend of Venera 14 isn't just the photo. It's a saga of brilliant engineering... and one hilariously catastrophic stroke of bad luck.The Legend of the Lens CapEarlier Venera probes had repeatedly failed to shed their protective lens caps, dooming their cameras to darkness. Engineers finally fixed the problem for Venera 13 and 14—the only two missions to ever return color images from Venus's surface.On Venera 14, the fix worked perfectly....A little too perfectly.Look at the bottom center of the panoramic view. That saw-toothed metallic ring? Part of the lander's landing structure. Right beside it sits the spring-loaded arm meant to test the compressibility of Venusian soil.Now zoom in on the exact spot where that arm deployed.See the small, silver disc lying there?That's the lens cap.By an absurd cosmic joke, the ejected cap landed in the single precise location the probe needed to sample the ground. Instead of probing an alien world, Venera 14 spent its final minutes dutifully measuring the mechanical properties of its own discarded lens cap.The lander was designed to last 32 minutes. It endured 57 minutes in that nightmare environment—long enough to capture this panorama, analyze the atmosphere, and (ironically) "sample" its own hardware—before the heat finally cooked its electronics beyond recovery.No spacecraft has returned color images from Venus's surface since.These fleeting 57 minutes remain our entire color visual record of another planet's surface. A stunning testament to human ingenuity, raw ambition, and the universe's wicked sense of humor: even when you conquer the harshest world in the solar system, sometimes the universe still finds a way to make you measure your own

@theblaze There are no dinosaurs anymore, so of course we use a bit of imagination to picture what they must have been like. But we have an enormous amount of evidence giving high confidence to our conjectures, unlike her apparently wholehearted and literal belief in spiritual metaphors.

Chuck Norris held a 183-10-2 record and was a 6x world champion in full contact bare knuckle karate. On top of that, he beat heavyweight kickboxing world champion Joe Lewis 3 consecutive times and also had a brutal sparring match with undefeated kickboxing world champion, Bill Superfoot Wallace, that lasted an hour and a half. According to Wallace, they practically stalemated and "beat the crap out of each other". Chuck was trained in kickboxing/boxing by Benny The Jet Urquidez and was also trained in BJJ by the Gracies and Machados for 20 years. Even being able to submit Carlos Machado himself on occasion. Chuck had a 315 Ibs bench press at 180 lbs bodyweight and was said to have a grip back in the day that nobody could escape from because he was so strong. Even Jean Claude Van Damme said he'd never fight Chuck Norris, despite being a kickboxing world champion himself. Chuck held a 10th degree black belt in Chun Kuk Do, a 9th degree black belt in Tang Soo Do, an 8th degree black belt in Taekwondo, a 5th degree black belt in Karate, a 3rd degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and a black belt in Judo. Rest in peace, Chuck!

@JamesLucasIT No modern animation has this kind of character and beauty shown here. None of it.

We grew up watching hand drawn Disney and now it's just gone. We don't talk about this enough.

🤣This is a hilarious montage of Chuck Norris jokes. If you think about it, he really was the first 80’s action hero and pretty much started the genre of 80’s and 90’s action movies.

So many Star Trek spin offs. Some were pretty good, early on at least: the movies, NG. The further removed, the worse they became. But the original? It just never gets old for me. (Image: Return to Tomorrow, S2, E20, classic Bill Shatner)

@BiblicalBeauty @peterschweizer Lewis’ insight was brilliant

Oxford professor John Lennox in an interview with Jordan Peterson in 2023 explained his view that there is no conflict between science and Christianity: "I never saw the tension between Christianity and science because very early on as a teenager I was introduced to the writings of a scientist who was a Christian who drew my attention to something Alfred North Whitehead wrote, and it was really put in much simpler language by C.S. Lewis when he wrote 'Men became scientific because they expected law in nature, and they expected law in nature because they believed in a Lawgiver.' And so, very early on, and I was fascinated by the idea, that actually modern science is a legacy of the biblical worldview, and therefore, it's no accident that the pioneers—Galileo, Kepler, Newton, Maxwell, and so on—were believers in God. And as you pointed out, it underpins the tradition that lies behind the great universities of the world that the doctrine of Creation was actually the belief, the underlying presupposition, that allowed people to do science. So I've come over my life to the conclusion that science and the biblical worldview sit very comfortably together, but it's science and atheism that do not sit comfortably together."

@elonmusk is the real world version of Star Trek’s Zefram Cochrane. With SpaceX, Grok, Neuralink and the Tesla Bot, Optimus, he’s dragging us all, kicking and screaming, into what may be a very bright future, indeed. He may not have invented Warp Drive, but hey, he’s not done yet

@FFT1776 That’s not funny. It’s sad, terribly sad.

@thinkingwest My all-time favorite Disney, with the best line in all cinematic history: Now shall you deal with me, O Prince, and all the powers of hell!

Human passion and effort will never be truly replicated. We might come alarmingly close with AI and other tools, but it’s clear that even as tech has increased in 50 years, we still can’t do better than these beautiful animations made with the human hand.
