This 1971 Fisher-Price record player played REAL music with no batteries or electricity

The plastic records used tiny raised bumps to pluck metal teeth hidden inside, turning a spring, gears, and molded plastic into music.

I just learned about a 2300-year-old concept I can't stop thinking about

The Empty Boat Theory

It explains why Elon Musk fights strangers on X at 2 am
Why Michael Jordan turned his Hall of Fame speech into a revenge list

Once you understand it, your life will never be same:🧵

@joypcoffee Yes 👍 though sometimes I have the best intentions in the world, I lack energy to complete everything I wanted. The message hurt a bit my ego because it is true. Thank you Joy for the reminder ☺️

This may be the image that defines America's 250th birthday.

A woman sits calmly on a Washington Metro train as masked members of the white nationalist and domestic terrorist group Patriot Front surround her.

They covered their faces.

She didn't.

Earlier in the day, Patriot Front marched through the nation's capital carrying Confederate flags and chanting that America must be "reclaimed," the latest expression of a white nationalist movement that has grown increasingly visible, violent, emboldened, and politically influential in recent years.

Their ideology is explicit.

Their courage, apparently, is not.

Not one of them was willing to show his face.

And then there is her.

No mask. No uniform. No fear.

Just an American woman refusing to surrender an inch of her dignity to a group of men who appeared to be seeking exactly that.

The symbolism is almost too perfect.

250 years after the Declaration of Independence, and six decades after Americans marched and died to make its promises apply to everyone, a group of masked white nationalists rode the socialist Metro home in anonymity.

The woman they tried to intimidate is the one America will remember.

The people who hide their faces do not define this country.

The people who refuse to be afraid do.

BREAKING: CNN just aired a devastating montage of all the times that Donald Trump accused others of using their public office to make money. Donald Trump's net worth has almost tripled since he took office. Everything he accuses others of is an open admission.

i'm in love with this quote:

"if you're persistent, you'll get it. if you're consistent, you'll keep it. and if you're grateful, you'll attract more of it."

To everyone celebrating the first flight on Qatar Force One today, understand what you are actually applauding.

A foreign government handed the sitting President of the United States a $400 million plane. American taxpayers then paid to retrofit it, with an estimated cost of at least another $400 million (some estimates far higher), for security and communications work in a Texas hangar since last September.

When Trump leaves office, the plane does not stay with the government. Ownership transfers to his presidential library foundation. In other words, he keeps it.

You are being asked to treat pure corruption as normal, to shrug at a President personally profiting from a foreign gift the taxpayers paid to upgrade.

In any other administration this would be the scandal that ends a presidency.

With Trump, it’s Wednesday.

This video is a funny compilation of people unboxing vacuum-sealed "bed-in-a-box" mattresses 😂🛏️. The moment the seal is cut, the mattress explodes open super fast 💥 and catches everyone off guard.

People end up shocked, losing their balance, and what should be a simple task turns into total chaos and hilarious fails 🤣😬

Britain turned all its beavers into hats, then spent the next 400 years fighting against dysfunctional rivers.

Beavers were once native across Britain. They built wetlands, slowed floods, stored water, trapped sediment, raised water tables, created fish habitat, and turned simple streams into messy, living systems. Then we wiped them out.

By around the 16th century, beavers had been hunted to extinction for their fur, meat, and castoreum, a scent gland secretion used in perfume and medicine.

The rivers they left behind became poorer, faster, straighter, and less alive. That loss cost a great deal of money.

The UK spends billions on flood defenses because water now rushes through landscapes that used to be full of natural speed bumps: ponds, wetlands, woody dams, side channels, boggy ground, and beaver-built chaos.

When beavers returned to trial sites, they started rebuilding that missing infrastructure with sticks and mud.

Research has found beaver dams can reduce flood peaks by up to about 60%. In Devon, monitored beaver dams slowed stormwater, stored extra water, and delayed flood flows moving downstream. The same wetlands that slow floodwater can also hold water on the land longer during dry periods.

The wildlife response is just as dramatic. Beaver wetlands create habitat for dragonflies, frogs, fish, bats, birds, otters, water voles, plants, fungi, and insects. Recent UK research found beaver-created wetlands held more species than other wetland types.

A beaver isn't just a big-toothed critter, it's a watershed worker. It shows up every night, builds flood control, repairs drought resilience, digs wildlife habitat, filters water, and doesn't invoice the taxpayer for it.

Obviously, they need management in order to coexist with human habitation. Beavers can flood the wrong field, block the wrong culvert, or chew the wrong tree. Nobody serious is saying 'release them everywhere and walk away.' But pretending rivers are healthier without them is absurd.

Britain spent 400 years missing one of its best engineers. I'm glad to see them welcomed back.

I will never stop shouting this from the rooftops: the most underrated skill you’ll ever develop is the ability to genuinely enjoy your own life. Not someday, when you’ve healed enough, earned enough, or finally figured everything out. NOW. Because your life isn’t waiting for you somewhere in the future—it’s being built in the way you experience this ordinary Sunday, this cup of coffee, this conversation, this sunset, this breath.

Let me tell you what just got reported, because you will not believe it until you see it laid out.

The Trump administration cut a billion-dollar tungsten deal with Kazakhstan. Tungsten is the metal we need for missile warheads, fighter jets, and computer chips. Trump himself got on the phone to close it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked it from the inside, sending letters, leaning on the Kazakh president, lining up as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing.

Within weeks of those negotiations, investors tied to a firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took a 20% stake in an entity connected to the very same Kazakhstan project their father was negotiating. Around that same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Lutnick’s own sons, raised $210 million for a partner in the deal and pocketed the fees.

The fathers set the policy. The sons cashed in.

Six days after the Trump sons and their partners moved their money, Lutnick signed the final deal.

The reporting found one or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies working with the government on critical mining deals.

The total federal funding flowing toward those companies tops $8.9 billion.

This is your tax money.

It is supposed to secure our supply chains and protect our troops, not pad the portfolios of the President’s children and the Commerce Secretary’s children.

This is the most corrupt administration in American history. It is not close.

We must keep digging, and keep asking the questions they do not want asked. Republicans in Congress are unwilling to lift a finger. Mike Johnson is running a protection racket.

Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

One Sunday the pastor of a church asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express praise for answered prayers.
A lady stood and walked to the podium.

She said, "I have a praise. Two months ago, my husband Tom had a terrible bicycle wreck, and his scrotum was completely crushed. The pain was excruciating and the doctors didn't know if they could help him."

There were muffled gasps from the men in the congregation as they imagined the pain that Tom must have experienced.

"Tom was unable to hold me or the children," she went on, "and every move caused him terrible pain. We prayed as the doctors performed a delicate operation, and it turned out they were able to piece together the crushed remnants of Tom's scrotum and wrap wire around it to hold it in place."

Again the men in the congregation were unnerved and squirmed uncomfortably as they imagined the horrible surgery performed on Tom.

"Now," she announced in a quavering voice, "thank the Lord Tom is out of the hospital, and the doctors say that with time his scrotum should recover completely."

All the men sighed with relief. The pastor rose and tentatively asked if anyone else had something to say.

A man stood up and walked slowly to the podium.

He said "I'm Tom." The entire congregation held its breath..

"I just want to tell my wife that the word is sternum."
