2 weeks before migrants from Morocco invaded Ceuta, the GOP passed a bill with $40 million for Morocco and a committee report advising:

Spanish-administered cities of Ceuta and Melilla are located in Moroccan territory and remain the subject of Morocco's longstanding claim.

This is one of the most mind-blowing things you’ll EVER see.

(And I swear to G-D if this post only gets a few thousand views on X, then X is simply not fit for purpose for anything. Because this is something everyone should see and be blown away by)

You’re watching a laser beam move in real time… at 2 billion frames per second.

Light only travels about 15 cm (6 inches) in each frame. That’s why you can actually see the beam crawl across the room, bounce off the mirrors, and come back.

Now watch carefully when the camera position changes…
The light going away from the camera suddenly looks slow.
The light coming toward the camera looks almost instant.
It looks like the speed of light is changing.

It’s not.

You’re seeing the finite speed of light itself. The camera is literally recording the PAST at different moments depending on how far the light has to travel to reach the sensor.

This isn’t CGI.
This isn’t a simulation.

This is a homemade camera filming actual photons.

The average person does not try to solve their problems or struggles. They get stuck in a routine and live the same day over and over. It does not cross their minds to snap out of it, engage in strategic thinking, and change direction so they can eventually reach a more advantageous position in life.

If you want to get ahead of 90% of people, all you have to do is pause, think, and actually attempt to overcome the struggle you're faced with.

David Bowie moves to West Berlin with his old friend Iggy Pop in the hopes that they will escape the spotlight and reduce their drug use.

It's mesmerising to look at. I did a simulation of this a while ago

🧠💥 Raise a note 40 octaves and you enter the realm of light frequencies.

The note G (192 Hz) raised 40 octaves lands as the color red. 👀

🎹 @OwenBenjamin is riffing the visible light spectrum. 🌈

How cool 😎 is that?

Immense planning and technical precision was required for this absolutely preposterous (but real) view: I captured my friend @BlackGryph0n transiting the sun during a skydive.

This might be the first photo of it's kind in existence. See a video of this moment in the reply 👇

This isn't science fiction anymore. 🧲

The Chinese University of Hong Kong researchers developed a magnetic slime robot that can be remotely controlled to move, squeeze through tight spaces, and even grasp objects.

One potential application? Removing objects accidentally swallowed inside the human body without traditional surgery.

Soft robotics is opening doors that rigid robots simply can't.

Would you trust a robot made of slime inside your body?
