DC Comics made a movie called “Supergirl,” and the “star” of the movie said she was glad “Christians” and “dads,” didn’t like her and now the movie is going to lose over a hundred million dollars per @ianmSC: https://t.co/8FwQLOXzah
All this used to be underwater...
Lake Mead sits on the Nevada-Arizona border, and its levels have dropped to critically low points.
Numerous data centers in the area pull water straight from the lake, with Google’s Henderson facility using about 352 million gallons in a year, Flexential around 20 million, and others collectively over 716 million gallons last year, nearly all sourced from the Colorado River and Lake Mead.
Add in droughts, plus farming and household demand, and the result is a basin running dry, now sitting at roughly 32 percent capacity.
How is any of this still allowed?
WOW: Kevin Hart DEFENDED Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s George Floyd Joke: “Yeah, the George Floyd joke, it wasn’t a tasteful joke to our culture, to our audience. But our audience that’s watching the roast — if you’re watching the roast, you get why they’re doing it. You get why the racial humor is on the table.”
“I wasn’t shocked! Like, that’s what they do. Go look at the Tom Brady one. That’s what they do. It happens every year when they do a roast. It’s not new. It’s not a new, it’s not a new agenda, it’s not a new approach to comedy.”
Charlamagne Tha God: “Do you feel like Tony Hinchcliffe went too far when he made that joke about George Floyd?”
Kevin Hart: ‘It’s Tony Hinchcliffe! Like, I don’t expect less, I don’t expect more.”
Charlamagne Tha God: “I feel like you’re saying, ‘Going too far is the point.’ don’t want to put words in your mouth.”
Kevin Hart: “Yes! I mean, that’s why you’re there. And I hate to say this, but I’m going to because we’re being honest — people are talking about that joke. Talk about his set! Tony Hinchcliffe arguably had the best set, or one of the best sets.”
Reading glasses might be done.
The FDA just approved a once-daily eye drop called VIZZ that sharpens near vision in about 30 minutes and keeps it sharp for up to 10 hours.
One drop. Each eye. Per day.
That's it.
The active ingredient is aceclidine, a compound first used back in 1975 to treat glaucoma. Scientists figured out it could be repurposed to gently shrink the pupil, creating a "pinhole effect" that pulls close-up text back into focus, the same trick your eye does when you squint.
Unlike Vuity, the 2021 drop that came before it, VIZZ doesn't mess with your focusing muscles. So no blurry distance vision. No brow ache. No weird zoom effect.
It was tested across more than 30,000 treatment days with no major complications.
Cost is roughly $2 a day.
This matters because presbyopia, the age-related slide that hits most people between 40 and 45, already affects more than 120 million Americans. By 2030, the World Health Organization expects around 2 billion people worldwide to have it.
LENZ Therapeutics, the maker, started rolling out samples in October.
The squint era is ending.
