Andrew Tate rants about raising children after hearing that Brad Pitt’s daughter wants to change her last name.😳
"These kids are out of control."
“Everyone goes, kids are crazy because of social media, it’s hard to raise them. My kids behave?! My kids are soldiers whether they’re a boy or a girl.”
“I basically raised everyone’s sons into men, that’s why I became so famous.”
@primetateHQ If his life is so amazing he should be living it lol. He spends more time on X then living in the real world....and he is sooooo aggressive " little 🍌 syndrome" 😂😭💀
Oxygen already killed most of the life on Earth once. The first time it filled the air, around 2.4 billion years ago, it was so poisonous that nearly everything alive died. Scientists call it the Oxygen Catastrophe.
Back then the oceans were full of tiny microbes, and none of them used oxygen. Then one kind, an ancestor of the green scum you still see on ponds, started giving off oxygen as a waste gas, the same way you breathe out air you don’t need. Oxygen is a wrecker. It rips apart the delicate machinery inside a living cell, including the DNA, and as it built up in the water and then the sky, it triggered the first mass extinction this planet had ever seen.
A few survivors hid in the mud and deep underground where the gas couldn’t reach, and some of their descendants are still down there. But one tiny cell did something nobody else did. It ate a bacterium that had learned to use oxygen rather than die from it, and instead of digesting its meal, it kept it alive inside itself. That trapped bacterium became the mitochondria, the little engines that power your cells right now. Almost every cell you are made of carries hundreds or thousands of them, all descended from that one strange truce with a poison.
The trade was worth it because burning food with oxygen releases about 18 times more energy than burning it without. It is the reason anything can swim fast or think hard. Every big, fast-moving animal on Earth, you included, runs on the gas that almost ended life.
Oxygen changed the sky too. Some of it floated up high and turned into ozone, a thin layer that blocks most of the sun’s harshest rays. Before that shield existed, raw sunlight was strong enough to fry the DNA of anything out in the open, so life had to stay underwater, where a few feet of sea soaked up the danger. For almost two billion years, nothing lived on land at all. Only once the ozone grew thick enough, a few hundred million years ago, did the first plants and animals crawl out of the water.
And the old poison never really left. Every second, the oxygen your cells burn throws off tiny broken bits called free radicals, and they keep nicking your DNA and the proteins around it. The damage adds up, slowly, your whole life. Back in 1956 a scientist named Denham Harman suggested this slow rusting from the inside is a big reason we get old. People still argue about how much it matters, and no antioxidant pill has ever been shown to make anyone live longer, but the basic idea has held up. The gas keeping you alive right now is also quietly wearing you down, year by year. The joke just got the timing wrong. Oxygen really does kill slowly, and billions of years before we showed up, it already proved it can kill fast.
Getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame costs $85,000. The famous person whose name ends up in the sidewalk usually doesn't pay a cent of it. And no amount of money can buy you a star if a committee doesn't pick you first.
About 200 people get nominated every year. A small committee, made up of people who already have stars, meets each June and chooses around two dozen. To even be in the running you need at least five years in your field, real professional achievement, a record of giving back to your community, and a signed promise that you will show up to the ceremony in person. Filing the application costs $275. Making the cut costs another $85,000.
The person getting the star almost never pays that themselves. A movie studio or record label usually covers it, and the timing tends to line up with whatever new project they want people talking about. Plenty of huge names have skipped it anyway. Prince said no. So did Bruce Springsteen and Clint Eastwood. After Springsteen turned his down, the Walk started making people sign a form agreeing they actually want it before it gets announced.
The $85,000 goes to a nonprofit that designs the star, lays it in the ground, pays for security on the day, and keeps the whole sidewalk clean and repaired for decades. No money comes from the city or taxpayers. The Walk pays for itself, with cash from the people it honors. Two dozen stars a year at $85,000 each adds up to around $2 million a year, all of it spent keeping the sidewalk running. And the whole thing started back in the 1950s as a marketing trick to pull tourists into Hollywood. It worked. Roughly 10 million people a year now show up to look at names on the ground.
Miley Cyrus got the 2,845th star, awarded for her music, on a stretch of Hollywood Boulevard she used to visit as a kid. The committee picked her, but like every name in that pavement, the star only landed there once somebody paid the bill.
