[📢Rebelión en la Granja🚨 @elorwelliano]

Los teloneros de Ed Sheeran no vendieron las entradas y llenaron estados, pero le dijeron que no y se fueron.

Su banda no convoca giras alrededor del mundo pero le dijeron que no y se fueron.

¡Lo dejaron completamente solo!

Pero olvidaron que el cabeza de cartel, el hombre de los más de 150 millones de discos vendidos a nivel mundial es él.

Olvidaron que el hombre que logró llenar el Wembley Stadium por 4 noches consecutivas con más de 300,000 personas, es él.

Ed Sheeran construyó todo lo que él es hoy sin que nadie le regale absolutamente nada. Y sólo él sabe perfectamente como deshacerse de tipos engreídos políticamente correctos. ¡Hoy los aplastó!

Ed Sheeran, él solo es la "banda".

Compruébalo por ti mismo. ¡Impresionante!

A man went to the hospital for a small wound on his foot. It didn’t look serious. He was given some antibiotics and sent home.

Three days later, he was in the intensive care unit, unable to recognize his own family. Doctors said his organs were shutting down, one by one. The wound didn’t harm him. Something else did…

A woman has just given birth.

Everybody is happy. Then suddenly, she starts bleeding.

This is postpartum haemorrhage, and when it happens, no one has time to ask where the drug, tranexamic acid or TXA is.

That drug, Tranexamic acid can help reduce deaths from bleeding when it is given early after PPH starts.

So if a facility is providing emergency obstetric care, TXA should not be something they start looking for when the emergency has started.

It should be there.

As a man, if your wife is preparing to give birth, ask if the facility has TXA available. Same thing if you’re pregnant and preparing for delivery.

Ask questions. Know what is available.

Prepare before the emergency comes.

RT so that expectant mothers and fathers can see this very important message.

Pardon?????
Any small thing, "Gen Z cannot relate".
Yen yen yen 😑😑
Do you people realize that Gen Z started from 1997?

Do you realize that the oldest Gen Z is almost 30 years old? And the youngest Gen Z is 14 years old .

If you want to call baby Shark do do, call Gen Alpha, because Gen Zs are NOT as young as you think they are.

I'm a Gen Z, I was very much aware of when the Five naira, Ten naira, Twenty naira and Fifty Naira notes were papers.

I knew when they changed it to the nylon that we now spend today.

I can vividly remember the time when they did Golden Jubilee for the #50 note.

I remember when a portion of pepper was #20, and when a cup of rice was #25 for long grain rice.

I remember when 5 eggs was #100. When Indomie was #30, when a cup of Garri was #10.

Yes, I'm a Gen Z and I remember.
Stop dragging us as if we just came into this world abeg.

Depois de alguns anos, resolvi assistir novamente a Watchmen (2009). E continuo considerando-o um dos melhores filmes de super-heróis (não tão super-heróis assim) já realizados.

Então, como na primeira vez, eu fiquei pensando no Dr. Manhattan após aparecer os créditos finais do filme. Não por causa dos poderes, embora sejam impressionantes: a capacidade de desmontar matéria, de existir simultaneamente no passado e no futuro, de reconstruir corpos. Mas, desta vez, fiquei pensando nele por outro motivo: ele sabia demais, sabia de tudo. E, de certa forma, isso foi suficiente para afastá-lo de tudo aquilo que o tornava humano.

Alan Moore fez uma coisa estranha e genial com Watchmen. Em vez de nos dar um super-herói, nos deu um importante experimento filosófico. Manhattan não vive o tempo como nós, ou seja, aquela sequência ansiosa de antes e depois, do ontem que passou e do amanhã que a gente não sabe bem como vai ser. Para ele, tudo já está resolvido. O tempo é uma mesa posta. Não existem escolhas de verdade. Existe apenas a execução de algo que já estava decidido antes mesmo de começar.

Isso tem até um nome filosófico: determinismo. Laplace, no século dezenove, imaginou uma inteligência capaz de conhecer a posição e o movimento de cada partícula do universo, e concluiu que essa inteligência poderia prever absolutamente tudo. O futuro inteiro, revelado como uma equação já resolvida. Bonito como ideia. Aterrorizante como vida.

E aí está o problema do herói azul. Ele não abandona a humanidade por arrogância, ou por crueldade, ou porque passou a nos achar patéticos, embora, convenhamos, a gente dê muitos motivos pra isso. Ele nos abandona porque a surpresa foi embora. Porque, quando nada pode te surpreender, é difícil se importar de verdade com alguma coisa. O conhecimento absoluto cobra um preço que nenhum superpoder consegue pagar: ele leva junto o encantamento.

Então, foi pensando nisso que o vi na realidade de hoje, pois, de certo modo, estamos construindo algo bem parecido.

Não exatamente um deus azul que flutua sobre Marte, mas sistemas que analisam volumes de informação que nenhum ser humano conseguiria processar em várias vidas infinitas. Que identificam padrões onde a gente mal consegue enxergar algum ruído visual. Que respondem perguntas complicadas em frações de segundo. Em alguns domínios, esses sistemas sabem mais do que qualquer pessoa viva. E, apesar disso tudo, ou talvez por causa disso tudo, sei lá, continuam sem chegar perto daquilo que faz a experiência humana valer alguma coisa.

Uma IA pode até prever qualquer palavra que vem depois. Mas ela não pode querer que venha outra. Ou seja, ela não tem domínio sobre a percepção do conhecimento. Ela não tem emoção. Pode catalogar expressões de tristeza, mas não pode acordar às três da manhã com aquela tristeza sem nome que a gente nem sabe de onde veio. Ou sabe, mas prefere ficar caladinho só matutando.

Tem algo de irônico nisso tudo e Moore, me parece, sabia exatamente o que estava fazendo. Watchmen foi publicado em 1986, mas a metáfora parece ter amadurecido com o tempo, como essas e várias outras histórias que ficaram mais verdadeiras quanto mais o mundo ao redor delas avançou.

Quanto mais nos aproximamos de inteligências que conseguem saber quase tudo, mais fica claro que o valor da vida nunca esteve no conhecimento. Sempre esteve na incerteza, na dúvida, no questionamento. Na possibilidade real de errar tentando acertar. Na expectativa de algo que ainda não aconteceu. No fato de que amanhã, por mais que a gente tente prever, ainda guarda alguma coisa que não está completamente decidida. Na verdade, para o amanhã nada está decidido.

Dr. Manhattan tinha um poder que a maioria das religiões reservou para seus deuses. O que ele não tinha era a única coisa que, ao que parece, torna a existência humana realmente interessante: a capacidade de não saber o que vem depois. De acordar e pensar: o que será que vai acontecer hoje?

Nós ainda podemos fazer isso.

In the 1970s, David Premack wondered if a chimpanzee could be taught to ask a question. He taught Sarah 130 plastic word-tokens. She answered his questions easily. After years of work, she had never asked one of her own. Sixty years later, no signing ape has.

A four-year-old human asks about 25 questions an hour. Paul Harris at Harvard counted them: kids ask their parents around 40,000 questions between ages two and five.

Premack even worked out a method for teaching an ape to ask. Hide a snack the chimp expects. Wait for her to sign "where is it." He never bothered running it on Sarah. She spent her sessions answering his questions, never asking her own. A normal kid, he pointed out, asks "what that? who making noise? when Daddy come home?" on a loop.

Washoe the chimpanzee, the first one taught American Sign Language, knew 250 signs. She could request food. She could sign her name. She once saw a swan and called it "water bird," a sharp invention for an animal she had no sign for. She never asked what the swan was, or where it came from, or anything else.

Koko the gorilla knew about 1,000 signs. Kanzi the bonobo understands more than 3,000 spoken English words. Nim Chimpsky, Herbert Terrace's chimp at Columbia (named to mock the linguist Noam Chomsky), strung 125 signs into more than 20,000 combinations. His longest stretch was "give orange me give eat orange me eat orange give me eat orange give me you." He never asked a thing.

Joseph Jordania, a researcher in Melbourne, thinks this is the line between us and them. To ask a question, you first have to know that the person across from you knows something you don't. Apes do not seem to get to that step, even after a lifetime of being talked at by humans.

Human kids cross that line around their fourth birthday. Apes never do.

pay solid attention;

an average millionaire is 40 not 23
an average billionaire is 55 not 35
the average age to buy a house is 35 not 25
most men hit their peak confidence at 32 not in their 20s
it takes the average person 66 days to build a habit not 7
the average ceo is 57 not 30
most people meet their life partner after 27 not 18
the average successful business takes 5-7 years not 6 months
most people don’t know what they want until they’re 30 not at graduation

stop letting social media brainwash you. you are not behind, you’re on your own track. live it ❤️

This entire movie was Mike and Bryan's attempt at getting back at ATLA fans for shitting on Korra. Notice that every single critique they had of Korra is present in this movie? The AS spamming, him getting played because he didnt listen(unalaq), got washed in the avatar state multiple times, almost destroyed the Avatar cycle. Has to constantly be saved.

It's like they looked up every Reddit Korra slander and turned it into a movie, but with Aang. This movie is made out of pure spite.

1. Korra didn't master Airbending pretty well.

2. Zaheer became perfect quickly in few weeks after Harmonic Convergence, so much so that he unlock Flight abilities.

3. Aang received his Airbending Tattoo at age 12, and very skillful in his craft.

4. Tagah. Despite being sealed for 5'000yrs, he Taught Aang other techniques, withheld a giant rock with Airbending, singlehandedly defeated Team Avatar without breaking a sweat. Tagah can't be subdued until Aang got back the staff.

In my opinion, With or without the Staff, Tagah is more Dangerous than Aang, Zaheer, and Korra put together.

Michael Jackson had to cut a deal with a drug lord to film this video. The Brazilian government tried to block the shoot. A judge banned the filming. The police refused to enter the area.

Rio was bidding to host the 2004 Olympics and didn't want the world seeing footage of its poorest neighborhoods. So Spike Lee walked into the favela (Rio's version of a hillside slum) and found the local crime boss. His name was Marcinho VP. He ran one of the city's biggest gangs, Comando Vermelho. He also happened to be a huge Jackson fan, and he provided the whole production with security for free.

A higher court eventually overturned the ban. The police still wouldn't go in. So 1,500 police officers and 50 residents acting as security guards sealed off the favela. Jackson arrived by helicopter. He walked the streets handing out candy to the kids. The people who lived there had woken up early that morning to sweep the streets and take out the trash before he got there.

Mid-shoot, two women burst through security. One knocked Jackson flat. Spike Lee helped him up and he kept dancing. That exact take is in the final video.

For the Salvador half of the shoot, he worked with 200 drummers from a local group called Olodum. The media coverage put them on the map in 140 countries. They'd been a regional act before the shoot. They became a global one after.

Over 200 million people watched the premiere around the world. The song itself peaked at #30 in America. In Germany it went to #1 and stayed on the chart for 30 weeks, the longest run of any Jackson song there. The video crossed 1 billion views on YouTube in 2023. Only one other Jackson video has done that: Billie Jean. He's the first solo male singer from the 1900s with two videos over a billion.

The day after Jackson died in 2009, Rio's mayor announced they'd put a statue of him in the same favela where the video was shot. Locals said the turnaround of their neighborhood started with his visit.
