The most perfect scene in the history of cinema.
Some of your favorite ‘masterpieces’ don’t even come close to this level. 🎬🔥

This is a super interesting AI LEGO drop by Iran. It’s about Peter Thiel, JD Vance and Epstein connection. I put large captions on the bottom so you can catch everything they say.

A MIT professor gave a 1-hour lecture in 2019 that has 18 million views.

He died 5 months after recording it.

It was his final gift to the world.

Patrick Winston taught at MIT for 50 years.

The smartest engineers on earth sat in his classroom.

And he spent his last lecture teaching them the one skill their degrees never covered.

How to speak.

15 lessons that will change how you communicate forever:

Never open with a joke. Your audience is not ready to laugh yet. Open with a promise of what they will know by the end.

Your ideas are like your children. You are too close to them. What is obvious to you is invisible to everyone else. Explain the obvious.

The 5-minute rule: the first 5 minutes of any talk determine whether people will listen for the next 55. Spend more time on your opening than anything else.

Repeat your most important idea 3 times in 3 different ways. Once is never enough.

Build a fence around your idea. Tell people what it is NOT before you tell them what it IS.

Verbal punctuation. Pause. Let the idea land before moving to the next one.

Ask questions nobody will answer. Then wait 7 seconds. The silence is not awkward. It is processing.

Never read your slides. Your audience can read. They cannot listen and read simultaneously.

Use the board not the slides. Writing forces you to slow down. Slowing down forces clarity.

Inspire before you inform. Nobody learns from someone they are not inspired by.

End with a contribution not a summary. Tell them what you gave them. Not what you said.

Never say thank you at the end. It is weak. End with something that lands.

Stories make ideas stick. Data makes ideas understood. You need both. In that order.

The quality of your communication determines the quality of your ideas in the eyes of the world. Not the ideas themselves.

Practice is not preparation. Practice IS the skill.

Patrick Winston understood something most people spend their entire careers missing.

Your ideas are only as powerful as your ability to transfer them into someone else's mind.

You can be the smartest person in the room and be completely invisible.

Or you can master communication and make average ideas feel like breakthroughs.

He chose to spend his last lecture teaching this.

Watch it tonight.

🚨BREAKING: Iran just dropped another AI LEGO video…

And somehow, it’s a more accurate summary of the U.S. government than anything coming out of the U.S. government.

[Guitar Gods Unleashed @gguworld]

"Ramble On" is 56 years old and Robert Plant just walked onto The Late Show and made it sound like he wrote it this morning.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

This is the BEST, most hilarious breakdown I have seen of the absurd rationales I have heard trying to justify trump's idiotic war.

BRILLIANT! 👏👏👏

[Best Movie Moments 🍿 @BestMovieMom]

Gene Hackman was initially hesitant to take the lead role in Mississippi Burning (1988). After discussions with director Alan Parker about the tone of the film and the dynamic between the two FBI agents, he ultimately agreed to join the project.

OK, so Karoline Leavitt asked Getty Pictures to delete this unflattering photo of her, so this is me telling you all NOT to RT and share this many times all over the place.

Whatever you do, DON'T RT this.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. 😏

[🌷🦋 Love Music 🎶 & Dance 💃🏻🕺🏻 @Tiana_Celine_23]

The best cover of all time for this song! ✨
Do you agree?🤔

@LadyDemosthenes @T_C5341 Happy Birthday. 44 looks good on you. ❤️

No effects, no auto-tune, no complicated staging – just pure talent.

Glen Campbell and Leon Russell, two former ‘Wrecking Crew’ legends, reminiscing about past sessions, before gliding effortlessly into an exquisite You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling.

You got to give lots of credit to Eileen Gu for responding brilliantly back to the reporter with great confidence.

She looked him in the eye said that was a "ridiculous perspective" without any hesitation or fear. 😁

The Internet is undefeated. One of the greatest moments in cinematic history.
