Autumn colors..

Look at the spaces between the crowns of each tree.
160-year-old beeches sway in the wind, yet none of them step on each other’s toes. This phenomenon is known as crown shyness.

Each tree lives its own life, holding its own space to breathe and grow, yet together they create a perfect whole.

Impermanence is an inseparable part of life everything flows, nothing lasts forever.

Every leaf, every gust of wind, every single day is merely a moment in nature’s grand cycle.

Wildlife cameraman Gordon Buchanan had himself shut inside a clear box beside a seal's breathing hole in Svalbard so he could film a polar bear hunt from ice level.

She walked right past the hole and spent about 40 minutes treating him like the seal.

Somewhere in there he stops being the guy filming the hunt and turns into the problem she's trying to solve.

Kate's smirk as the rest of the cast starts losing it is everything.

Your brain doesn’t know what time it is. Every time you replay that conversation from last year, that mistake from last month, that moment you wish you could take back from yesterday, your brain treats it like it’s happening right now. Same stress chemicals. Same alarm bells. You’re not remembering it. You’re reliving it, on a loop you built yourself.

That's because of two things: your brain doesn't know the difference between what's really happening and what you're just imagining, and neuroplasticity means that your brain automates things that you think about and turns them into programs that it runs without you having to think about them next time.

So, the more you rehearse something from the past or something you're just imagining, the more your brain builds out a reality as if that thing is still here right now.

The ninth Commandment of self brain surgery is, "I must believe that what I'm doing I'm getting better at." That means if you're doing things with your mind that are making your brain better at living in the past or worrying about imaginary outcomes, you're getting better at feeling worse. So knock it off.

Here’s the shift: you can’t edit the past, but you can stop rehearsing it. Every replay is a rehearsal, and your brain gets better at whatever you rehearse. Let's make neuroplasticity work for us and not against us.

We call that self-brain surgery. It's not easy at first, it's hard and holy work. But remember, you get better at whatever you repeatedly do

Philippians 3:13 says it like this: forget what lies behind and strain towards what lies ahead. Not denying it happened, but refusing to keep performing it. There's better stuff in the future, but not if you keep building a brain that lives in the past.

Follow me to connect neuroscience and scripture every day. Save this for the next time your mind hits replay. Share it with someone stuck on a loop.

Every cat has a preferred way to drink. The raised stream and shallow circulating tray offer two easy options, while the wide surface leaves more room around sensitive whiskers.

I thought I’d try this for a little Christmas project, but now I can’t stop. Watching the picture slowly come together is ridiculously satisfying, and it’s honestly the perfect way to unwind at night.

Columbine Valley PD — Sgt. Jamie Millian.

Wakes Chrisanna Elser.
Accuses her of stealing a $25 package in Bow Mar.

Officer: “You can’t get a breath of fresh air in or out of that place without us knowing.”

“I have you on camera walking up, ringing the doorbell, taking the package and literally running away.”

“It is her, it is 100%. It is locked in. There is zero doubt.”

Podcast punchline from Chrisanna:

If he’d checked his own flock cameras…
her truck was parked in front of another one the whole time.

Ridiculous! Watch Now:

[Spencer Althouse @SpencerAlthouse]

at least once a week I think about the time Amy Poehler convinced her fellow Emmy nominees to pretend they were in a beauty pageant when their names were called, and every celeb in the audience went wildddd

their names were supposed to be announced alphabetically, but Edie Falco was too nervous to go first, so Amy took the lead. Tina Fey had a baby 12 days beforehand and said she was "just happy to be out, wearing a pad on every part of my body."

Rob Lowe improvised a line about how "everyone was a winner," and then he crowned Melissa McCarthy with her first Emmy (and a literal tiara), to which she said, "Wow, it's my first and best pageant ever!" award shows in 2011 were so fun lol

I only recently discovered this painter, and I cannot stop looking at his work. Every single time, I have to remind myself i am looking at oil paint, and not a photograph of real silk...

The artist is Vittorio Reggianini, an Italian painter born in Modena in 1858. He belonged to a group so obsessed with one thing that they earned a nickname for it: the "Silk and Satin School." These painters competed to see who could render luxurious fabric most convincingly, and Reggianini is widely considered the best of them all.

There is a reason silk is so hard to paint, and it makes what he did even more astonishing. Most surfaces catch light in a way the eye can predict. Silk does not. Its sheen shifts as the cloth bends, throwing bright highlights along every ridge and dropping into near-black in the hollows, so a single fold can travel from white to deep shadow in the space of an inch. To make it convincing you have to get hundreds of those shifts exactly right, in exactly the right places, or the whole thing collapses into a smear. Reggianini got them right every time, across an entire career, until the gowns look smooth enough to reach into the canvas and touch.

And today he is almost invisible: no major museum retrospective, barely a Wikipedia page. His paintings surface at auction and vanish again into private collections, admired by the few who own them and unknown to everyone else. He may be the finest painter of silk who ever lived, yet most people have never heard his name...

🚨 You’ve never seen a hive removal like this! 🐝

Florida beekeeper Elisha Bixler of ‘How’s Your Day Honey’ just pulled one of the biggest colonies you’ll ever watch coming out of a structure.

This thing was massive—years of comb, thousands of bees, the kind of hive most people would just poison. She and her crewman cut it out, found the queen, and relocated the whole colony.

Watch to the end. You will not believe the size of this thing or how they get it out without turning the job into a disaster. 🐝

In 2017, a ship carrying Romanian sheep rammed and sank one of Russia's fanciest spy ships, which was spying on NATO exercises at that time.

Between that and yesterday’s shepherd, so far Romania’s sheep industry has currently done more damage to the Russian military than NATO.

I’m rarely serious on here. But as a neuroscientist, I would say the simple “violate your normal routine” move, such as taking a different route to or home from work, is the single easiest way to address these effects.

[Iain Cameron @theiaincameron]

There is a place on the Labrador coast in Canada where an entire community effectively disappeared in a matter of weeks. Not because of war, famine, or relocation.

It was because a ship arrived that was carrying an alien cargo.

This is the short story of Okak, Labrador.
