Name a fat guy with aura:

Steven Spielberg: “I believe the cosmos is teeming with life… Is that life currently interacting with us?” “When I made Close Encounters I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if this could come true?’ With everything that’s happened from 1977 til today, I can now make Disclosure Day and say — ‘Isn’t it going to be wonderful when people realize after seeing this movie that everything is true, and has been true?’”

serious question: did humans accidentally invent a drug that kills *desire* altogether?! that would be an absolute remarkable development for a species.

Perhaps we should learn from history, Pike County. In the 1970s, the small border town of Vulcan, West Virginia, located just across the river from Freeburn, Pike County, lost its iconic swinging bridge. Local officials in Kentucky and West Virginia displayed years of masterful inaction. Consequently, the unofficial mayor made a logical decision and reached out to the Soviet Union and East Germany for foreign aid. The Soviets dispatched a journalist, and the story gained global attention. Surprisingly, the U.S. government promptly discovered funding within just one hour, all due to the unbearable shame of potential communist bridge construction. Mission accomplished. Decades later, we still find ourselves staring at bridges that have been washed out or abandoned since the flood, while the same political machinery continues to operate in a state of neutrality. Perhaps it’s time for a sharp local influencer to revive this Cold War classic. “Dear President Putin, our infrastructure remains a tragicomedy post flood. Would you be so kind as to help us find a few reliable bridges? In return, we’ll offer you authentic Pike County moonshine, prime seating at the Coal Festival, and naming rights on a particularly stubborn hollow. Comrade?” Clearly, nothing motivates our elected officials quite like the gentle sting of international embarrassment. 😂

MEN - if you're single, where do you get your affection and validation from?

アメリカ人へ Xにいる日本人の多くがアメリカに好意的なのはわかってもらえたと思う。 ただ、俺を含めたそういった日本人全員がアメリカに対してどうしても許せないことがある。 ヤードポンド法という悪しき単位だ。なぜ世界標準であるメートル法を頑なに拒み続けるんだ。

The mind of humanity

Neuralink is not just going to repair sight - it's going to exceed the limits of human biology, eventually delivering high-res vision that outperforms the best natural eyes "In the next 6 to 12 months, we’ll be doing our first implants for vision, where even if somebody is completely blind, we can write directly to the visual cortex." "Long term, you would have very high resolution and be able to see multispectral wavelengths... you could see in infrared, ultraviolet, radar. It's like a superpower situation." — Elon Musk
