Polish 26 year old guitar master Marcin Patrzałek respond to those who have made public comments claiming that his music is fake.

He made this video in a tutorial form showing how he manages to play so extraordinarily well in response. And yes, it's all played on one guitar.

🚨 Just read about a phenomenon I can't stop thinking about:

"The Red Car Theory"

Once you understand it, you'll see it EVERYWHERE.

And it will change how you view reality forever.

Here's why: 🧵

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

California's Central Valley produces 80% of the world's almonds. Each almond requires 3.2 gallons of actual irrigation water to grow. Not rainfall. Actual tap water pumped from aquifers.

One gallon of almond milk requires 162 gallons of irrigation water. Compare that to dairy milk at 8 gallons of tap water per gallon, with the rest being rainfall that falls on pasture anyway.

But here's where it gets properly grim. Almonds bloom for exactly three weeks in February. During those three weeks, California needs every pollinating bee in North America transported to the Central Valley or the crop fails entirely.

Commercial beekeepers truck in 31 billion honeybees. That's two-thirds of America's entire managed bee population, all concentrated in one valley for three weeks. The bees are packed into trucks, driven across the country, dumped into almond groves drenched in pesticides, worked to exhaustion, then packed up and shipped to the next crop.

The mortality rate is catastrophic. Beekeepers report losing 30 to 50% of their hives annually. That's billions of bees dead. Not from natural causes. From being used as disposable pollination machines for your almond milk.

The pesticides don't help. Almond groves are sprayed with neonicotinoids which scramble bee navigation systems, fungicides which weaken their immune systems, and herbicides which eliminate the wildflowers they'd normally forage on between almond blooms.

Meanwhile the aquifer depletion is permanent. The Central Valley has sunk 28 feet in some areas from groundwater extraction. That water took 10,000 years to accumulate. It's being drained in decades for almond milk.

Your vegan latte killed more bees and used more water than a year's worth of dairy milk. But it's got "plant-based" on the label so you're definitely saving the planet.

Prioritize the 80% that really makes a difference.
Let the last 20% catch up later.

Select convenience stores across the country have introduced nap booths designed specifically for overworked delivery drivers. These compact spaces offer a reclining seat, dim lighting, and just enough peace for a short recharge between long, demanding shifts. Real compassionate!

that shields the body from wind, cold, & damp ground. The structure is made from layered cardboard engineered for strength & insulation. Thermal reflective surfaces help trap body heat, while heat reactive inner film gradually warms using nothing more than the person’s own warmth

In urban Japan, designers have explored lightweight shelter concepts that unfold from compact rolls into insulated sleep tubes for unhoused individuals. At first glance, the object appears ordinary, disposable. But when unwrapped, it expands into a full sized protective tube..

AMEN 🙏

In Vietnam, vertical, self-sustaining, and quietly efficient urban farming towers now grow upward with the help of gravity and rain.
Rain barrels collect water. Gravity takes care of the rest, feeding plants through a network of small tubes, with no need for pumps, electricity.

We know the algorithm is dumb and needs massive improvements, but at least you can see us struggle to make it better in real-time and with transparency.

No other social media companies do this.
