@JoJoFromJerz I cried today. So sad to hear of her passing. What a beautiful soul. She was such a bright light of love in this crazy mixed up world. May you rest in tremendous love and joy Ms. Dolly! We will always love you!
EXCLUSIVE: Ten years ago, David Michael Levin was convicted of hacking into government election websites.
Now, he appears to have been hired by the Trump DOJ to...wait for it...monitor elections. https://t.co/a4x0e6oM3L
DID YOU KNOW??
In March 2000, an Austrian art collective named Gelitin (then called Gelatin) secretly removed a window on the 91st floor of the North Tower of the World Trade Center to install a homemade wooden balcony, step out onto it 1,100 feet in the air, and take photos.
The project, titled The B-Thing, was completed while the four artists held a legitimate residency granted by the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, which offered empty WTC office space to artists.
To pull off the stunt without security noticing, they spent weeks building a massive wall of cardboard boxes inside their studio space to hide their work. Behind the boxes, they used suction cups and tools to unscrew and pop out a heavy glass windowpane.
At 6:00 AM on March 18, 2000, they pushed out a narrow, cantilevered wooden balcony. Wearing fake angel wings, each member took turns stepping out onto the platform over the Manhattan skyline while a friend in a hired helicopter flew by to take photos. They pulled the balcony back in, re-installed the window, and left no physical trace. Walk with me 👇🏾👇🏾
Key Facts Behind The B-Thing “Gelitin” secretly installed a balcony on the 91st floor of the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
A. Unbelievable Security Bypass: In a pre-9/11 world, building security never noticed that a heavy exterior window had been completely removed from the 91st floor for hours.
B. Eerie Coincidence: Gelitin published a book documenting the stunt in 2001. The gallery exhibition showcasing the photographs and sketches for The B-Thing at the Leo Koenig Gallery in New York was scheduled to open on September 11, 2001, the exact morning the towers were attacked.
C. Conspiracy Fuel: Because of the absurd security breach, the sheer impossibility of the stunt, and the tragic destruction of the World Trade Center 18 months later, the project spawned massive urban legends and conspiracy theories claiming the photographs were photoshopped or that the balcony never existed. However, witnesses, studio neighbors, and gallery reps confirmed it really happened.
SUMMARILY!
The B-Thing stands as one of the most absurd, dangerous, and surreal art stunts in modern history, a moment of reckless, childlike freedom captured atop a building that would be gone just a year and a half later.

The line "Annie, are you okay?" from Michael Jackson’s 1987 hit Smooth Criminal isn't just a catchy hook, it is a direct reference to CPR training.
Till today it remains one of the most famous "hidden in plain sight" facts in pop music history. Here is the backstory of how a medical dummy became a global superstar.
1. The Resusci Anne Connection:
In the mid-1980s, Michael Jackson and his brothers took a CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) certification course. During the training, they practiced on the world's most famous medical manikin: Resusci Anne (also known as "CPR Annie").
When you find an unconscious person, the very first step in the first-aid protocol is to check for responsiveness. Trainees are taught to shake the dummy's shoulders and shout: "Annie, are you okay?"
Jackson was so struck by the rhythmic repetition of the phrase during his class that it stayed in his head. When he began writing Smooth Criminal, which tells the story of a woman attacked in her apartment, he used that exact medical check as the core of the chorus.
2. "The Most Kissed Girl in the World":
The dummy herself has a haunting history. The face of the Resusci Anne doll is modeled after a death mask of an unidentified young woman pulled from the River Seine in Paris in the late 1880s (known as L'Inconnue de la Seine).
Because millions of people have practiced mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on her since the 1960s, she is often called "the most kissed girl in the world." A very wierd thing to know, yea? 😅
3. The CPR Tempo:
There is a second, even more practical connection to life-saving.
To perform effective chest compressions, you need a steady rhythm of 100–120 beats per minute.
Smooth Criminal clocks in at roughly 118 BPM. While the Bee Gees' Stayin' Alive is the "official" song used by the British Heart Foundation, Smooth Criminal is technically a perfect tempo for keeping someone alive. Micheal even made sure his song was medically sound 🤣🤣🤣.
In a 2025 interview, MJ’s sound engineer revealed that Michael actually kept a Resusci Anne doll in the recording studio for inspiration while he was laying down the vocals to ensure the "urgency" of the line felt authentic.
Hopefully you've learnt something new today? 🌚 😂

While we slept, Donald Trump got approval to turn his personal crypto currency at World Liberty Financial into a BANK. The self dealing and corruption are about to be off the charts.
WHOA!!! Cory Booker unleashed absolute HELL on the Judiciary Committee floor as they voted to advance Todd Blanche to the Senate. 💥
No fluff, zero filter, just pure real-time accountability.
That's the fire we need. 🔥🍿
