Frosty has advice for anyone who ends up on the street.

Who to trust. What to actually be afraid of. How to make a friend.

Nobody plans on needing it.

Marcus Aurelius: stop chasing approval from people who are themselves lost.

Be like a clear spring. People throw insults in. The water cleans itself.

Resilience isn't a trait. It's a daily practice.

AI isn't coming. It's already in the room.

The gap between lab demo and everyday default is closing faster than anyone planned for.

Tony Alva was there before street skating had a name.

Fifty years of watching it get commercialized, criminalized and copied.

Still on the board.

Dolly Parton, 1946–2026 🦋

She said she tried to love everyone, find the good, and pray for the bad.

Her grandfather was a preacher. She never stopped living it.

Skateboarding doesn't lie.

Don't commit, you don't land it. Hesitate, you fall.

Japan is one of the cleanest countries on Earth.

It also has almost no public trash cans.

People just carry their garbage home.

Meanwhile, Sweden trained crows to pick up our cigarette butts.

Sweden trained wild crows to pick up cigarette butts.

They trade them for food pellets. Hundreds per bird, per day.

Meanwhile, chickens at the world's biggest landfill are laying toxic eggs.

He wrote Raging Bull.

Then Hollywood handed him everything that comes with it.

A cop got offended because a skater called him "dude."

Skaters spend years falling before they land a single trick.

They still don't quit.

Skaters vs. suburbia. The war never ends.

One trick gone wrong. One innocent bush. One very angry homeowner.

RIP the shrubbery. 🛹

Some quotes you remember. Some you wish you could forget.

We put the wildest things Trump ever said in one place.
You're not ready.

Jeff Jampol managed The Doors, Janis Joplin, and Jefferson Airplane.

The Doors' publishing grew 500%. Merchandise grew 800%.

One partnership changed everything.

Ziggy Stardust. Spiders from Mars. Santa Monica Civic.

The lyrics hit like machine gun bullets.

He walked out knowing he'd never be the guy on stage — so he got as close as humanly possible.

Kids wear Clash t-shirts without knowing a single song.

Jim Morrison's appeal was never just the music.

The "magic" behind legends isn't what you think.

The U.S. military hired psychics in the 1970s.

In 1979, one of them located a downed Soviet plane in Africa from a room in Maryland.

Satellites confirmed the exact coordinates.

The CIA denied it until 1995.

#StargateProject

[Documators @Documators]

The U.S. military recruited psychics for a secret program.

Their mission: leave their bodies and gather intelligence.

It was called the Stargate Project.

It was real.

Scientists tested sharks in the Bahamas.

One-third had drugs in their blood.

The source: flushed toilets. Your prescriptions. Your waste.

Could stimulant exposure make sharks more aggressive?

They let an AI think for 16 hours.

It generated 1.1 trillion thought vectors.

That's equivalent to 14,000 years of human thought.

The problem: we can't monitor what it's thinking.
