Curtis Sliwa agrees with Mamdani, says the British royals should return the diamond:

“The royalty, they're a bunch of deadbeats, slackers, the worst welfare cheats in the world,” Sliwa says.

Nobody likes these AI guys left or right. Feels like this is a issue with 99% American consensus that they should be stuffed back in a locker

As a Democrat, I’ve noticed a lack of Democrats expressing pride in America today.

You don’t have to give up your political beliefs to be immensely proud to call America home. Loving your country does not equal supporting the current admin.

Don’t let MAGA own patriotism.

Hating the guys who just bled for their country to earn a gold medal because they laughed at an awkward joke the president of the country they just bled for made, after chugging 6 beers in 13 mins with dopamine flowing like water, is certainly a choice

Absolutely no one is saying “that’s out of line Mr. President” and ruining one of the coolest moments of their lives for everyone. I’m not a Trump guy but getting congratulatory call from the president, no matter who it is, after winning a gold medal at the Olympics, is a moment as American as apple pie.

These are 20-something year old kids high on life (and USA-crested Mich Ultras). No one’s making a political statement in that moment.

They laughed at an awkward joke, and if I had to guess, most of them were prob like “the fuck was that joke about?” afterwards.

Jack Hughes is an LGTBQ+ advocate. He said his first thought after scoring was Megan Keller’s OT goal. Half the boys watched the women beat Canada in the gold medal game.

But there’s a 0% chance any of them are ruining that insanely cool moment. Idc what your politics are.

And if you truly think they should’ve ruined that moment and made some sort of moral stand, imo youre just completely out to lunch and are missing the bigger picture of how big of a moment this was. Touch some grass, get off social media. Half these kids prob don’t even know the 3 branches of government.

Out of line joke the president made. Shitty joke but that’s on brand for him

But don’t turn this unbelievable moment into some social justice crusade. Just let the moment live.

Bears fans, As loud as you were for opening day this year, as much energy as there was in the stadium, do you think Sunday you will be even louder when we rock the anthem for the @ChicagoBears vs @RamsNFL game? I bet so and I can’t wait!! #gobears #beardown

The Station Nightclub fire happened in 2003. No smartphones. No Instagram.

100 people still died because they stood watching the flames, thinking it was part of the show.

I've retrofitted fire safety for some of the largest property portfolios in the UK post-grenfell.

You are confusing stupidity with biology, physics, and catastrophic design failures.

Here is the actual science of what you are watching:

1. When the music keeps playing and staff don't panic, the human brain overrides flight instincts to fit the threat into a normal context. This is called normalcy bias. These kids froze to process conflicting social cues, not to post for likes. They were likely already filming. They were also likely drunk.

2. We explicitly design buildings to account for this hesitation (pre-movement time). Fire safety codes assume people will wait before running. In a compliant building, you can assume up to a minute or two before egress commences. Sprinklers and detection systems are designed specifically to buy that time.

3. The reason the time buffer didn't exist here is the material. That ceiling is polyurethane foam. It doesn't burn linearly; it hits flashover (1,100°F) in under 90 seconds. It's essentially solid gasoline. The room would have exploded for all intents and purposes. Way before anyone could reasonably evacuate.

4. We calculate exit widths based on how many people can physically pass through a door per minute (flow rate) versus how fast a fire spreads. With foam fires, the available safe egress time drops to almost zero. Even if they had reacted instantly, the crowd density would have choked the exits before the room cleared.

5. In any normal building fire, especially one that starts off small, you expect a responsible adult to put it out, or sprinklers to do the same. When there's a pan fire in a restaurant, you don't run out in case the entire building suddenly explodes. No reasonable person should have expected this unless they were the owner and knew how the building was designed.

Those poor teenagers likely passed out from smoke inhalation soon after this video. If they didn't, they would have been caught in a catastrophic explosion as they crammed into the single tiny exit.

They didn't die because of Instagram.

They died because the physics of the fire moved faster than human bodies can physically squeeze through a door, and a catastrophic disregard of safe design principles meant they never stood a chance.

🚨 MIT Professor Nuno Loureiro Shot After Major Fusion Research Breakthroughs.

Dr. Nuno Loureiro was one of the most important voices in nuclear fusion research.

Three Things About His Research:

#1 The Work: Focused on creating a virtually limitless, clean energy source on Earth.

No carbon. No meltdown risk. No long-term radioactive waste.

The holy grail of energy.

#2 What His Death Means: Without people like Loureiro, there’s no roadmap to a working fusion power plant.

He advised global projects, including work funded by the U.S. Department of Energy.

His fingerprints are on the future of power.

This will be investigated as a motive.

#3 The Blowback:
His death comes just as the fusion race is heating up.

•Private companies and governments are pumping in billions. The uncertainty could impact future funding.

•Major breakthroughs are being announced yearly.

•Patents, partnerships, and politics are now in the mix.

His loss sets back a field that was just picking up real momentum.

Is this professional hit, a personal matter, or something else?

This is a story to watch as we mourn him and pray 🙏 for those close to him.
