I think this is what AI will take from us, knowledge like this, the ability to converse like this on topics that you have deep knowledge of, because why bother spending years deepening your understanding of something when you can just ask AI to spew it out for you. And most of our conversations of length these days are done over typed message. No one really has these type of conversations face to face anymore. When was the last time you really chewed it out on a topic with a friend irl?
Doomscrolling is gambling for revelation, pulling the lever of an infinite slot machine, persuaded that after a billion worthless posts, the next one will finally justify all the others.
Seeing one of gods most majestic and divine creatures, fight so valiantly against the destruction and rampaging of his home should do untold psychic damage to your psyche. We should be radicalized by this.
Carl Jung was right when he said that if a man does not face his shadow by age 35 he will not improve. He will calcify. His defense will become his personality.
After 33 years the sun is setting on Kumba at Busch Gardens Tampa as the iconic B&M will be permanently closed on August 2nd 2026.
The coaster has reached the end of its life and will be retired.

The United States is 3 human lifetimes old.
That’s it. In those short years we invented the light bulb, the telephone, the airplane, the transistor and the internet. We turned a few wooded colonies into the most powerful nation in the history of the world.
That little boy was in tears, yet he was still consoling his father. This might be the most emotional moment I’ve ever seen in football🥹❤️❤️

This is real footage from 120 years ago.
None of the people in it knew that the city around them had four days left...
What you are watching is a cable car gliding down Market Street in San Francisco, filmed on the 14th of April, 1906.
The camera was mounted on the front of the car, so you see the city exactly as it was: the crowds, the horse-drawn carriages, the early automobiles weaving through traffic, the men in hats, the great buildings rising on either side. An ordinary spring afternoon in a thriving American city.
Four days later, on the morning of the 18th of April, a magnitude 7.9 earthquake struck. The shaking lasted under a minute, but it ignited fires that burned through the city for days...
By the time it was over, more than 3,000 people were dead and roughly 80 percent of San Francisco had been destroyed. Almost every building you see in this footage was gone.
And the film itself nearly went with it.
The negative was placed on a train bound for New York on the 17th of April, the day before the earthquake. Had it left a single day later, it would have burned in the fire along with the studio that made it.
This entire moving record of a lost city survives because of one day...
