A creature smaller than your fingernail just solved the hardest problem in evolutionary biology. This male peacock spider weighs less than a grain of rice. His brain contains roughly 100,000 neurons. For comparison, a honeybee has a million. Yet this tiny spider executes a courtship routine so intricate that...

Sit and spin! Yesterday we talked about the development of crawling. But I’m just as fascinated by the complex array of motor and cognitive skills on display here as this little one mimics his spinning toy giraffe. Watch how he manages to coordinate use of his arms and legs to revolve just as the toy does… using his heels to push off into the same counter clockwise spin and his arms to build and maintain momentum. But it not just that he can revolve. He manages to: - roughly approximate the speed of the toy’s rotation - visually track the giraffe, using its cues to start and stop his movement on demand, as if playing a game of “red light, green light” - time his singing to match the periods of rotation. So much happening in this rapidly developing brain, still less than a year old. 🧠 This video was shared to IG by toddlersbeingslightlyfunny.

A performer reactor once said that what makes Heeseung stand out is how his stage presence shines, even when he’s not in the spotlight. His energy and performance radiate from every corner of the stage. If he can command attention like that from the sides, imagine the impact when he’s at the center. That’s true stage power. *** DANCER REACTION: "What I like about this is that he is feeling the choreo. He is the embodiment of it. He sticks out to me in this dance practice, specifically, maybe because of his facial expressions. What I feel is an aggressive energy in the movement, but it’s not necessarily the movements themselves that are aggressive—it’s actually in his facial expressions. That’s what I really love about the balance in this section: we get that aggressive feeling not from the movement itself but from his facial expressions and the overall performance, especially in how he uses his face. I love that!" ***

Your observations are almost correct, but your conclusions are not. What you see flying out, as what others thought was his ear piece, is not his ear piece. It is his chain he had around his neck, with, what I am pretty certain, a cross on it, which all Christians would wear, if they have a chain on their necks. So, what apparently happened, which seems so astronomically unlikely, is the bullet did not hit him in the neck first, but hit him in the chest, and to be more specific in that cross. So, after a hit into that cross, his chain snaps, and it is that which you see flying out backwards. When the chain snaps, and starts flying up and backwards, it also pulls up the front edge of is shirt, in less than 0.1 sec. So, that is how that anomaly is explained at the same time. What happens next, is his mic had a wire under his shirt. It kind of just laid in the back of his neck, going around his shoulder, and disappearing under his shirt on the front. That wire must have had some contact with this chain, or even being wrapped around it like may be just one turn. So, when that chain snaps and starts flying backwards, it starts pulling on his mic at the same time. Just the mic had a wire that was most certainly lose a little bit. So, that is why that responds with a few tens of a second delay. But still, the mic also, after jerking around for a few tens of a second disappears completely of his shirt. So, basically, the bullet hits his cross first, which is on his chain, would explain all of these anomalies at the same time, including the wire on the back of his neck being pulled around from the front, and thus bulging his shirt in the back a little bit. If you pay all of this is slow motion, you will see that it all gets seqeuenced correctly. And the last thing to note, is after hitting his cross, and getting deflected, the bullet now would start going up, instead of forward, and would go up into his neck from the bottom up, and disappear into his head. That would also explain at the same time why there is no exit wound. Because his skull would stop the bullet from exiting. One side note, not related to all of these anomalies, but still a necessary thing to keep in mind - that alleged high velocity bullet Mauser 30_06, could not have possibly be the weapon used, as that bullet would have taken one third of his neck out. For everything to be explained correctly, no Mauser, or any other kind of shotgun could have been used. Another, much smaller caliber weapon had to be used, like some kind of a hand gun, and from a much closer distance too, as a hand gun without the scope, from a far way roof would just not work. And so, that is how all of this happened. I know this was long. But this is one bizarre, super difficult to crack episode. So, I could not make it any shorter.

🚨 NEURALINK’S FIRST NONVERBAL PATIENT JUST “SPOKE” USING TELEPATHY — AND IT’S BREAKING THE INTERNET “This is my old voice… cloned by AI.” A man with advanced ALS who lost ALL ability to speak is now communicating again using nothing but his thoughts. He made this video using telepathy, edited with his mind. Read that again. • Implant in his motor cortex (controls movement) • Size of five stacked quarters that replaces part of his skull • Robot threads placed millimeters into the brain, avoiding blood vessels • Thoughts → text → AI voice in real time Before this? He was completely paralyzed. Completely nonverbal. Trapped inside his own body using eye-tracking just to communicate. Now he’s typing with his mind… joking with his kids… even beating them at Mario Kart again. He says life has greatly improved since receiving the Neuralink brain chip impact. And that voice you’re hearing? Those are his thoughts turned into speech. Would you implant a chip in your brain to get your life back?

NEURALINK GIVES ALS PATIENT A VOICE LIKE NEVER BEFORE Imagine being stuck in your own head with a thousand thoughts but no way to say them. That was Brad G. Smith’s life with ALS until Neuralink stepped in with a chip that reads his brain signals. Before this brain implant, Smith had to rely on eye-tracking software that only worked in the dark. He joked it turned him into Batman without the gadgets. Now, he can control a computer cursor and talk to his family even in bright daylight. The Neuralink implant uses a thousand tiny wires that pick up signals from his brain and send them to a MacBook Pro. At first, they tried linking it to his hand movements but that was a flop. Turns out his tongue was the star of the show and clenching his jaw worked as a click. Smith says he does not even think about it anymore. His brain just knows what to do, like a pro gamer making split second moves. Thanks to Neuralink, Smith can race his kids in Mario Kart and talk to them faster than ever. He even uses an AI chatbot that comes up with clever replies. Once, it suggested giving a bouquet of carrots to a friend’s horse-loving girlfriend. For Smith, ALS may have taken a lot but Neuralink has given him something priceless: a way to speak up and stay connected to the world. Source: FOX

🚨 Gavin Newsom’s wife was laundering herself so much money from her NGO she was actually in the top 5% for pay from all charities in the entire nation But that’s not all, Gavin Newsom “bought his $3.7 million Sacramento estate, it was done through an LLC, but that LLC doesn't seem to have appeared on his tax returns — There’s a lot of questions” “He’s released at least partly to journalists in closed-door viewing sessions, his tax returns. And if you look at that, his income, it's about $1.2 to $1.4 million a year. And it just doesn't add up for all of his expenses. He's got massive mortgages, $625,000 in mortgage payments and he's got at least $1 million in living expenses, and the two just don't add up” “When I had a look at Jennifer Newsom's charity, I found that she was paying herself since 2012, $3.7 million. And this is a lot of money when you look at the amount that the charity brings in. It's sort of $1-$1.7 million a year. And she's paying up to a third of that to herself and her own company—$300,000 a year. Now, I did a bit of data analysis looking at what charities that size usually pay their executives, and she was in the top 5% of all charities in the nation for pay” In the video I included more instances where Gavin Newsom laundered money to his wife - $1 million to block a casino project - $5 million to an office for his wife that he created - He sent $300,000 from his donor PG&E to his wife’s NGO And more, it never ends. They need to go to jail

Assertions that it was half and half and “she’s as bad” disproved in this clip of the same loss of temper at speed. Cllr Natalie Oliver keeps her hands mainly in her own lap or she has an occasional open handed, palm up and very brief gesture towards Mothin Ali He leans sideways slightly towards her. She draws away and places her hands back in her lap. He jabs at her and his hands leave his personal space many times. His hand is higher than hers. The other interviewee keeps her hands in her lap the whole time and looks uncomfortable. This is not standard political gesturing as some have suggested. It is a man not in control of making his points after a loss of temper and who is using his hands and facial expressions to shut down challenge. It is what it is. This is not biased support for one politician over the other. It is a feminist observation of their interaction.

Asked Nuggets coach David Adelman about the season that Jaylen Brown has had, and he gushed about Brown as both a player and a person. "The the elite shooting from mid range is such a big deal in our game, it's the late-clock ability, his overall size, his ability to play in the middle of the floor, which is really hard to come double people and not give up the three point line to a team like they have, I would just say his continued evolution in his game. "He's an elite, All-Star player, two-way player. I just watched him grow over the years, not just the championship year, but with Jayson Tatum, obviously out, more responsibility falls into his hands, and I thought they did a great job building around him for this particular season, with all the shooting that surrounds him." "He's a problem. He's not fun to watch on tape when you have to play against him. I'm a fan of his, just as a pure basketball person, not just as a coach. Actually got to spend some time in Africa, he was such an impressive person. He's good for the NBA. He's going to be a probelm for us tonight." "There was an Africa game that I coach in, that he played in. They used to do that yearly in South Africa. It's an amazing event. He came down there for that. And some of the events that we had to do -- humanitarian stuff, you go out and you see these communities, and just to see his investment in it was really impressive. And he was at a much younger age then. And I remember him in the bubble, speaking up at meetings and things like that." "Some people are born to lead. He definitely stands out as one of those people."

#JUNGKOOK is the truest embodiment of a STAR - yet not the kind that blinds with a cold, distant light, but the kind that warms and inspires. His greatness lies in the fact that he remains humble and profoundly human, despite the scale of his fame and the status of a global artist. He shows equal respect to everyone, whether it is world-renowned directors and corporate leaders, fellow performers, members of the press, or backstage staff. For him, there are no "important" and "secondary" people - everyone who meets his gaze feels seen, valued, and respected. There is a rare radiance in his manners, a refinement that shines quietly but unmistakably. When he steps into a room, the atmosphere shifts, it becomes lighter, warmer, brighter. His presence is not a display of superiority, but a gift of being, where everyone feels part of something meaningful. He fulfills his role as a professional with precision: carefully observing a collection, discussing details, offering words of admiration and thoughtful commentary, allowing photographers and journalists to capture their best moments, greeting and thanking the fans whose love follows him everywhere. Yet in every gesture, every word, every smile there is sincerity. And this is the rare quality that separates a true artist from a passing celebrity - respect for the audience, for the craft, for himself. Jungkook hides behind no mask, creates no illusions, his radiance is natural and genuine. He has never given cause for gossip or ridicule, for his actions, words, and presence are always dignified. He walks his path calmly and confidently, head held high, shoulders straight, while remaining simple and approachable in his interactions. Jungkook does not need to build a legend around himself, he is the legend. His strength lies in sincerity, his greatness in simplicity, his magic in the way he has conquered millions of hearts simply by being himself. This is what, alongside his talent and human qualities, inspires my deepest admiration and draws millions of fans from around the world. To remain humble and never look down on others when your opportunities surpass those of 90% of the world’s population is an almost impossible task, yet Jungkook embodies exactly that. He is a true gift from God, given to us to brighten our lives, remind us of genuine values and priorities, set an example of dignity, and expand the horizons of our thinking, behavior, and abilities. His journey is a living lesson in humanity, strength, and sincerity. Jungkook is a shining guide, an example one longs to follow. His light inspires, and his very essence proves that true greatness is born not only from talent but also from the ability to remain a genuine human being. WE LOVE YOU JUNGKOOK 🩵

A 73 year-old man dressed as an ancient Greek warrior, runs an entire marathon barefoot to honor his ancestors... Heraklion native Idomeneas Avramakis once again amazed spectators and fellow runners at the Athens Authentic Marathon. At 73 years old, this retired regional employee, renowned for running in full ancient Athenian hoplite attire, completed the grueling 42km race in 8 hours and 47 minutes. This marked his 18th consecutive year honoring the legendary journey of Pheidippides in this historic costume. What sets Avramakis apart isn’t just his dedication to tradition but his resilience. Running barefoot, even in harsh conditions, he overcame a harrowing car accident just 30 months ago that left him with a metal rod in his leg. Yet, with remarkable determination, he trained tirelessly to take part in this year’s marathon. “It's not about speed; it’s about perseverance,” Avramakis told Patrida newspaper. For him, the marathon is a celebration of human willpower, and every step is a reminder of his journey to overcome life’s challenges. Avramakis’s story is one of triumph over adversity. Eighteen years ago, a serious health crisis left him in intensive care for a month. This experience transformed his outlook, leading him to embrace barefoot running—a practice he now cherishes for the connection it gives him to nature and the elements. His passion for running has taken him far beyond Greece. From marathons in China to countless domestic races, Avramakis leaves a lasting impression wherever he goes. Admired for his persistence, courage, and infectious optimism, he is more than just a runner; he’s a symbol of unwavering strength. At 73, Idomeneas Avramakis continues to inspire with every step he takes, proving that age, adversity, and even physical limitations are no match for a determined spirit. © The Archaeologist #archaeohistories

But he looking at the white man for answers’- DK Kentt ‘My people perish because of lack of knowledge.’-weweo ‘This is how crippling illiteracy is young men. Not being able to comprehend what's being said to you by professionals & it's not complicated. This is also the power of having different groups of people in legal positions to help us all avoid the pitfalls and traps. Great job judge’-cloudtechbigunk ‘His Cognitive & Comprehensive skills are not aligned with his age! Add fear into the mixture and you have a recipe for disaster pray for him’-wrightwaycatering ‘His "lawyer" says "who knows under this administration there might not be truck drivers anymore." Time to look for a real lawyer.-carlamarie946 ‘His lawyer is railroading him and this happens more often than not. He was taught to trust the system (his lawyer) and cannot conceive that this white figure of authority is misleading him. It's clear his lawyer has another agenda. He's not understanding the judge because he believes the judge has an adversarial role based on his lack of knowledge, television and the fact that she represents the court. People in court are nervous, intimidated and yes there is a lack of understanding/ignorance. Law and legalese are not taught in school nor or laws written so that the average person can understand them. This is by design so that ppl are forced to hire and depend on lawyers to interpret and defend them. They like to call it job security. If he loses his job he may very likely end up back in court needing a lawyer once again. If he gets a felony that's one less person competing for a job with the lawyers kid or "community".

‘She basically telling him, nigga come back in 2 weeks and I got you ! But he looking at the white man for answers’- DK Kentt ‘My people perish because of lack of knowledge.’-weweo ‘This is how crippling illiteracy is young men. Not being able to comprehend what's being said to you by professionals & it's not complicated. This is also the power of having different groups of people in legal positions to help us all avoid the pitfalls and traps. Great job judge’-cloudtechbigunk ‘His Cognitive & Comprehensive skills are not aligned with his age! Add fear into the mixture and you have a recipe for disaster pray for him’-wrightwaycatering ‘His "lawyer" says "who knows under this administration there might not be truck drivers anymore." Time to look for a real lawyer.-carlamarie946 ‘His lawyer is railroading him and this happens more often than not. He was taught to trust the system (his lawyer) and cannot conceive that this white figure of authority is misleading him. It's clear his lawyer has another agenda. He's not understanding the judge because he believes the judge has an adversarial role based on his lack of knowledge, television and the fact that she represents the court. People in court are nervous, intimidated and yes there is a lack of understanding/ignorance. Law and legalese are not taught in school nor or laws written so that the average person can understand them. This is by design so that ppl are forced to hire and depend on lawyers to interpret and defend them. They like to call it job security. If he loses his job he may very likely end up back in court needing a lawyer once again. If he gets a felony that's one less person competing for a job with the lawyers kid or "community". Let this sink all the way in!’-blackbonnie928

EINSTEIN’S BRAIN AND THE NEURONS THAT TAUGHT THEMSELVES PONG When Einstein died, scientists studied his brain to see what set it apart. Most of it looked ordinary, except for one thing: the folds. His brain had far more of them than average. More folds meant more surface area, and more surface area meant more neurons. The difference was concentrated in his parietal lobes, the regions tied to math and spatial reasoning. Genius left a trace, but it was subtle, hidden in structure rather than size. Decades later, another mystery arrived. In 2022, researchers at Cortical Labs grew human neurons in a Petri dish and wired them to a chip running the game Pong. There was no human player, no brain, and no mind, just cells, signals, and feedback. Yet somehow, the neurons learned. The longer they played, the better they became. That forced an uncomfortable question: how does a group of disconnected neurons know how to play a game it has never seen. The answer is still unclear. Einstein’s brain revealed how intelligence can be built. Source: Joe Rogan

Louis Wain's drawings of cats as his Schizophrenia worsened. Louis Wain, an English artist born in 1860, gained fame for his illustrations of cats portrayed with human characteristics. During his later years, Wain experienced the onset of schizophrenia, a mental disorder believed by psychiatrists of that time to be triggered by toxoplasmosis, a parasitic infection commonly associated with cats. Consequently, he was admitted to a mental hospital in 1924 and subsequently transferred to Napsbury Hospital in St Albans in 1930. It was during this period that Wain's artistic style underwent a profound transformation. Despite his increasing delusions, he continued to depict cats in his paintings, with psychiatrists attributing the abstract patterns in his artwork as indicative of his schizophrenia. For some time, there has been speculation regarding a connection between mental disorders and creativity. The creative process often involves divergent thinking, characterized by free-flowing, spontaneous, and multi-faceted ideation. One example of such a connection is the observation that both individuals with schizophrenia and highly creative individuals exhibit lower levels of dopamine receptors. This leads to reduced filtration of information in the brain, allowing for the generation of novel ideas and solutions in creative individuals, while potentially giving rise to abnormal thought patterns in those with schizophrenia. Moreover, large-scale population studies have validated the association between mental illness and creative professions, indicating that individuals working in creative fields are more likely to seek treatment for mental illnesses. Additionally, a study published in the British Journal of Psychiatry found a significant link between the artistic profession and schizophrenia. Wain's abstract artwork is particularly intriguing due to its psychedelic, vibrant, intricate, and occasionally fractal patterns. This suggests the possibility of a shared cognitive process underlying the psychedelic experience, schizophrenia, and creative thinking.

This is a day when words grow heavy. For what we feel goes beyond ordinary pain; What we experience surpasses ordinary mourning. In these days, we stand in silence filled with prayer. Our Holy Patriarch, His Holiness and Beatitude Ilia II, has gone to be with the Lord bringing with him his labor and his works. We, his people, his flock, his spiritual children, are his works. The Lord sent him to us as one man, and he returns with an entire nation - so visibly, so united, so unified, as has been revealed in these solemn days. We are the generation of the Patriarch. We are witnesses to a unique event, when an entire nation is spiritually united around one person; When every active clergyman in Georgia has been ordained with his blessing; When nearly all Christians in Georgia have been baptized with his blessing. The present state, character, and form of our two-thousand-year-old Church have been shaped by him. His Holiness and Beatitude became that firm link for our nation and Church that connected our past to the present, and the present to the future, in an apocalyptic era of godlessness and nihilism. Truly, we have witnessed a miracle from God - the Georgian Church, risen from the ashes and shaped by him alone anew, with his own hands. He was able to do this because he understood what mattered most. In today’s world, many values compete for primacy - freedom, equality, solidarity, justice. His Holiness and Beatitude gave each its proper place, but taught us the most important truth: freedom, equality, and all other things lose their meaning if they are not grounded in the highest value - love. We had a Patriarch of love, whose tireless preaching embodied it. Through his life, he became an example of how one can love all: one’s own and strangers, friends and enemies, the righteous and sinners. He accomplished the impossible - as a Christian, he fulfilled the law of Christ; as a monk, he kept his vows; as a Patriarch, he bore the heaviest cross of his nation. His earthly journey has ended, but love remains - his love for us, which in these days the whole nation has returned with gratitude. This was his main dream: to see his nation united in the Church of Christ. He accomplished this. And thus he has entered the presence of the Lord - righteous and full of grace. It is we, his generation - those who lived with him, saw him, felt his grace, and bear witness to his greatness. But his story does not end here. After us, once again, his generation will continue the path - the generation of his godchildren, our children, who carry his name, his blessing, and his grace. In this way, he built a bridge across time and bound our nation together. “Great are You, O Lord, and wondrous are Your works.” May the memory of our Patriarch be eternal! May his prayers and intercession protect all of Georgia!

“My wife is in the film… so that helps.” Tom Holland just dropped the most wholesome flex of the night. While talking about the physical cost of being Spider-Man, falling from wires at 18 and bouncing back, vs. needing a full stretch routine now. Seth mentions his own wife has zero patience for Spider-Man content. Tom’s reply is instant: “Yeah, my wife is in the film. Yeah, so that helps.” Tom Holland just casually dropped “my wife” on national television talking about Zendaya being in the new Spider-Man movie. From there he gets real. No Way Home felt like the perfect send-off with Tobey and Andrew. Coming back meant the responsibility to the fans got heavier, so he went deep into podcasts and online complaints to make sure they got exactly what they wanted. And the Jon Bernthal story? They’ve been friends since Tom was 17. Jon did his Spider-Man audition tape and forced him to stop being modest: “You gotta do the flip, bro.” This is Tom at his most honest and charming.

According to Francis Ford Coppola, The Godfather is not really a story about the Mafia, but a story about American capitalism and succession. This is something he realized early on when reading Mario Puzo’s book for the second time… "Upon that second reading, much of the book fell away in my mind, revealing a story that was a metaphor for American capitalism in the tale of a great king with three sons: the oldest was given his passion and aggressiveness, the second his sweet nature and childlike qualities, and the third, his intelligence, cunning, and coldness. Suddenly I saw the story as one of succession of power." What he discovered was that the same three qualities that made Vito so formidable as a mafia boss - his aggression, his compassion, his strategic cunning - were unevenly distributed amongst his three sons, and their fatal flaw was that each son had a deficit of the other two qualities. Sonny embodied Vito’s passion and impulsive aggression, which led to his violent and short-lived leadership. Fredo reflected Vito’s familial warmth but lacked strength, resulting in his weakness and ultimate betrayal. And Michael inherited Vito’s most powerful quality, his calculated, strategic intelligence - which propelled him to power but ultimately left him cruel, heartless - and estranged him from his family. This “king-and-three-sons” concept became the unifying principle, and it influenced almost every decision that went into making the film. It was through this central concept that Coppola was able to tell a story - not just about the mafia - but about America, and its relationship with capitalism. And this becomes ever clearer when you look at each son more closely. (1/5)

David Roche is the mad scientist of ultra-endurance. Every once in a while, a brash someone comes a long who has the audacity to defy convention and try something new and bold that others dismiss as likely to fail. Usually it does fail. But once in a blue moon it doesn’t, resulting in an unexpected leap forward that advances an understanding of optimal performance and the path towards mastery. David Roche is once such example of this, a former college football player turned trail runner and elite coach who, this summer, broke one of ultrarunning’s most revered records at the Leadville 100—in his first attempt at the distance. But more noteworthy is HOW he did it, by focusing on speed and intensity on a fraction of the mileage most would recommend (note: built upon an 18 year base). And by studying the habits of competitive eaters, leveling up his capacity to absorb an inhuman amount of carbohydrate fuel per hour, a strategy to better sustain his speed. David is fascinating, but not the maniacally performance driven data geek I expected from his popular social media posts, in which he transparently shares his curious endurance ways. He is genuine, and empathetic to a fault. This is a way of saying that his story isn’t just about running faster than anyone else—it’s a transformative journey disguised as an athletic adventure, revealing how extraordinary achievements spring from the courage to chase audacious dreams with love and vulnerability. David’s exploration into the pain cave confirms one of my favorite truths: we are all capable of far more than we imagine. Enjoy the podcast, which you can watch on YouTube and is streaming on all the pod platforms.
