Add Chesnyyoulli's Law
*When Canadian friends get together and bring joy all over the world.....
And a president who doesn't understand tariffs and has no respect for our Northern neighbors does things to try to disrupt our international friendships...
Chensyyoulli's law:
2. Brandolini’s Law
“The energy required to refute nonsense exceeds that needed to produce it.”
Misinformation spreads exponentially because debunking requires evidence, while lies demand only creativity. This asymmetry explains why bad actors weaponize algorithms optimized for engagement over truth.

I feel like I’ve been holding my breath for two years, wondering if the America I believed in was a mirage.
IT WAS NOT!!! It was not.

Confirmed tornado about to cross I-44 near Big Cabin, Oklahoma.
Radar confirms debris. It’s detecting spiked, jagged shapes. Shelter NOW if in Big Cabin or Vinita!
Even worse, the account was closed for violent warning signs. The shooter simply made another account, told ChatGPT of the loss of the first account, and it told the shooter how to avoid being shut down and them helped plan a”fictional” attack.

We remember Marcy Borders. May this image of her continue to shake us and remind us of the lasting trauma and devastation affecting those who “survive” machinations of mass murder.
The former Bank of America worker was dubbed the “Dust Lady” after a photographer snapped a photograph of her stricken and caked with ash after fleeing the World Trade Center.
Marcy battled addiction, severe depression, paralyzing fear, and sickness before succumbing to stomach cancer in 2015.
Only a month into her new bank job, Marcy was at work in the North Tower on Sept. 11, 2001, when a plane crashed into the building. Instead of staying at her desk, as her boss had ordered, she fled the building and ran into the street with fellow survivors.
A stranger pulled her into a building lobby just as the North Tower collapsed — and it was then that a photographer captured her terrified face in the photo that has since been seen around the world.

This nurse took care of a baby born 10 weeks early.
Thirty-three years later, that same baby’s son was born 10 weeks early at the same hospital. She was still working there.
David Caldwell was a preemie in 1986. His son Zayne arrived early in 2020. His fiancée found an old photo of David as a baby being held by nurse Lissa McGowan. They brought it to the hospital and realized it was the same woman now caring for their son.
They recreated the photo.
Same nurse. Same hospital. Same situation, one generation later.

The difference between a 99% eclipse and a TOTAL solar eclipse.
You wouldn't board a plane that was guaranteed to make it 99% of the way to its destination. You wouldn't drive 99% of the way to the Grand Canyon.
99% partiality is not that special. 100% is life-changing. GO!

RED ALERT 🚨!! @bunsenbernerbmd @k_zackowski Friends.. I posted this egg recall a few weeks ago. It’s now gotten so much worse. It has spread to several states, but these eggs are coming out of Texas. Please check the brands listed here and when in doubt, throw them out!

If ChatGPT starts practicing medicine: "I love that you're bringing your gun shot wound to medical attention. There are lots of possibilities of how we could manage this. Let me know what your goals are and we'll dive right in. One caution: I would avoid getting additional gun shot wounds right now. The first step should be to figure out what to do with the ones you already have."

@KevinLee23 Would love to hear more about the budget required for Jackson’s efforts as you started to talk about a couple of weeks ago. Also, how do his different rides come together in different series, not being in a single path, like IndyNXT? Love the TH pod!
