Agree 100% A quote by Steven Weinberg (end of 'The First Three Minutes') that resonates completely with me: "The effort to understand the universe is one of the very few things that lifts human life above the level of farce, and gives it some of the grace of tragedy".

Stare at the dot for any length of time and then try to convince yourself that God created the whole Universe for one of the 10 million or so species of life that inhabit that speck of dust. Now imagine that everything was made just for a single shade of that species, or gender, or ethnic or religious subdivision. If this doesn't strike you as unlikely, pick another dot. Imagine it to be inhabited by a different form of intelligent life. They, too, cherish the notion of a God who has created everything for their benefit. How seriously do you take their claim? - Carl Sagan

Give this man some attention: @says_me1 His whole 5 part series on the greatest RB of all time is epic I especially loved part 5 I am in awe of his detailed analytics on so many important domains and attributes @says_me1 is the analytical GOAT! 🐐 youtu.be/Zhe5TYT4GpI?si=0JuF…

We support World Kidney Day. We also believe in action 365 days of the year. Via our KidneyIntelX™ testing technology, we id adult patients with T2D & CKD stages 1-3b who are at risk for progressive decline in kidney function which can significantly improve patient outcomes.

Block or charge @RexChapman? Looks like a charge on Clark and flop

This is awesome - perfect Friday morning listening @NephRodby @weddellite @kidney_boy

2 more 1 yard rush TDs for Allen vs. Pats on Sunday now makes it 20 rush TDs for Bills other than James Cook, who is still stuck at 2 TDs with 1086 rushing yards on the season, and 1 more game to go

With Josh Allen's 2 rush TDs @chargers in week 16 and James Cook surpassing 1000 yds rushing, thus far, it is most rush TDs by other teammates in a 1000 rushing yard season by a RB with <=2 rush TDs in @nfl history (18 rush TDs "vultured"-13 by Allen), surpassing the previous record (Derrick Ward had 17 vultured TDs in his 1000 yd season in 2008; 15 by Brandon Jacobs)

The Cosmos is all that is or was or ever will be. Our feeblest contemplations of the Cosmos stir us -- there is a tingling in the spine, a catch in the voice, a faint sensation, as if a distant memory, of falling from a height. We know we are approaching the greatest of mysteries

26 years ago Dec 21 1997 @BarrySanders becomes only the 3rd player in NFL history to rush for 2000 yards With his 184 yard performance in the roaring Silverdome, Sanders rushes for 14th straight 100 yd game (NFL record), vaults @Lions into playoffs, and caps off his MVP year

Scaling down from human hand to cells, atoms and quarks.

The masses never thirst for truth. They turn aside from evidence that is not to their taste, preferring to deify error, if error seduces them. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy those illusions are always their victim...

Science has two rules. First: there are no sacred truths; all assumptions must be critically examined; arguments from authority are worthless. Second: whatever is inconsistent with the facts must be discarded or revised.

Science doesn't have all the answers and is as fallible as the humans who practice it, but shunning the best intellectual framework humanity has ever devised in favor of esteeming the "science" of a Bronze Age religious text of unknown provenance is blatant idiocy. #NoMoreGods

Nobody touchin these heights Ending to game 4 was incredible
