* Current goes off for hours *
Friend: “You should probably call the power company in your country, because the current being off that long is not normal.”
Me: “Nah, they probably load shedding.”
Friend: “What is load shedding?”
SMT, SEE WHY I HATE IT HERE?!
I can’t stop laughing thinking about “the statue of liberty is going to finally walk!” Just imagining some reality where she’s not joking and she’s been faithfully waiting for the day the statue decides it’s time to stop letting life pass her by start walking. Finally.
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Whatever [the next outbreak] is, we ain’t ready for it. We still have anti-vaxxers running around.”
“I don’t trust scientists. I saw a YouTube video, so I’m not going to take it.” (mocking)
“I don’t want you to ever forget this story.”
“20,000 years ago, we’re in the cave. Do you know what the life expectancy was?”
Shannon Sharpe: “10 years? 15 years?”
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “30. Half of everyone born was dead before they were 30.”
Shannon Sharpe: “Wow!!!”
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Fast forward to 1840… everyone born in the world was dead by the age of 35. We gained five years of life expectancy. And every one of them ate organic, breathed clean air… Science matters here.”
“We’ve doubled the life expectancy with antibiotics, vaccines, and sanitation. The three biggest forces operating on our longevity. So to come around and say I don’t need vaccines because I’m not getting sick, that’s like saying, why are you using dandruff shampoo? You don’t have dandruff.”
Shannon Sharpe: “Well, I don’t want to get it.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “That’s my point. If you’re successful, people think you don’t need it when that’s what’s creating the ongoing success in the first place.”
Earlier this week, Knicks superfan @FatJoe was the first-ever, special guest conductor, where he surprised fans on the 1 train, got them hyped for the NBA Finals and handed out Knicks-themed merch! Go NY, go NY, go!
Barbados’s government spends way less on their travel budget and Mia Mottley is actually respected globally and invited to sit at many tables.
Therefore, I wouldn’t even beat up my gums with ya’ll to defend 18 million on travel….
@BahamianWxGirl@weather_bahamas Oh wow, I didn’t realize they had an account on here lol, but yeah @weather_bahamas y’all gotta see how ideologically inconsistent (and dare I say hypocritical) it is to issue advisories on hurricane season using the technology that’s heavily contributing to the climate crisis 🫤
