A reminder from Atomic Habits by James Clear: “It doesn't make sense to continue wanting something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”

The exact neurochemistry behind why you wake up completely paralyzed, and why it feels like a demon is sitting on your chest. 👇 • When you enter REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, your motor cortex is highly active. Your brain is firing intense signals telling your body to run, fight or jump based on whatever you are dreaming about. • If your body actually acted out those dreams, you would severely injure yourself in bed. So, to protect you, your brainstem (specifically the pons) flips a chemical kill-switch. It floods your spinal cord with inhibitory neurotransmitters, specifically GABA and Glycine. • These chemicals temporarily paralyze almost all of your voluntary motor neurons. Your brain is vividly dreaming, but your physical body is on absolute lockdown in a state called REM atonia. • Usually, this kill-switch turns off before your conscious mind wakes up. But sometimes, there is a physiological lag. Your conscious mind wakes up, but your brainstem forgets to shut off the chemical drip. You are wide awake, but your body is still completely paralyzed. • Because you suddenly realize you can't move, your amygdala triggers an instant panic attack. That classic crushing weight on your chest happens because you are trying to take deep, panicked breaths, but your chest wall muscles are still chemically paralyzed. Only your diaphragm is working. • To make matters worse, your brain is still hovering half-in and half-out of REM sleep. It takes your absolute terror and literally projects your nightmare into the physical room around you as a hallucination. So no, you aren't having a stroke. FOLLOW ME for clinical breakdowns!

Cuando un óvulo humano es fecundado, libera una explosión de fuegos artificiales de zinc visible al microscopio. Cada vida humana comienza con un destello de luz. El universo hizo lo mismo hace 13.000 millones de años, solo que a mayor escala

They don’t want you to understand what just happened… An American F-15E goes down deep inside Iran… hostile territory… mountains… IRGC hunting our guy with a bounty on his head. Most nations lose that pilot. America launches a full-spectrum response. Hundreds of special operators Dozens of aircraft Cyber… space… intelligence all synced in real time SEAL Team 6 goes in. Not a movie… not a drill… real combat. The WSO survives over a day on the ground… evading… hiding in rock formations… beacon active… waiting. Then the hammer drops. Extraction under fire Forward base inside enemy territory Aircraft disabled… and destroyed on-site so Iran gets nothing Let that sink in… We flew INTO Iran… fought… recovered our man… and left nothing behind. Zero Americans killed. That’s not luck… That’s capability. That’s training… doctrine… coordination… and absolute refusal to leave our people behind. People love to talk about American decline… Meanwhile… operations like this are happening in real time. Quietly. Precisely. Decisively. You’re watching the difference between a military… And a machine built to win. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

There are no words.

Some people are confused and questioning why Trump spent over $600 million dollars just to rescue 1 airman. But this is not about the money; it's about the intent and what was at stake. If Trump had failed to evacuate the airman safely, it will bring America to international ridicule. And through that safe evacuation, Trump sent a strong signal to the US army - we're with you and no matter the circumstances; we'll come for you. These are the kind of soldiers you pray never to fight against. Because they're ready to risk it all for their country. And through that safe evacuation, Trump just reminded not just Iran but the entire world, what the US Special Forces are capable of. FAFO.

NASA has released the first full image of Earth in 54 years. The photo was taken from the Orion spacecraft, which is currently traveling to the Moon. The last time Earth was photographed in its entirety from deep space was in 1972 during the Apollo 17 mission. Since then, such images have been created by stitching together multiple shots taken from Earth’s orbit.

I never thought I’d pay for digital art, but I would absolutely spend irresponsible money on this. You could lose an entire weekend in it and come back with a different blood type.

Este hombre confió en la física al ser expulsado a 80 km/h de un camión que circulaba a 80 km/h 🤯

Yo le doy gracias a Dios porque hay personas que se levantan todos los días a tomar fotos tan espectaculares como esta.

just WOW

🇨🇺🇨🇳 Incredible story. A Chinese girl was filming on a street in Cuba. An old man sitting at her window called out to her. When she approached, the man was in very poor health, but he began to talk to her and told her that he had studied in China and served in the Chinese Air Force, and showed her the documents that proved it. The girl went to the Chinese Embassy and told them about him, and they went to see him. Afterwards, a delegation from the Chinese Air Force came and paid tribute to him.

Millennials are the elite generation because they cranked out 12-page essays the night before they were due. No ChatGPT. No Claude. Just lo-fi beats playing in the background, Black coffee at midnight, footnotes that were somehow correct, and pure delusion. Grade was an A minus. Period.

I support this! Let them leave. Make America Great Again!

🚨 This isn’t our galaxy. 😳 This is the Andromeda Galaxy, located about 2.5 million light-years away. It contains hundreds of billions of stars, and astronomers estimate that many of them likely host planets. 🌌
