Going through a personal rebranding.

You have forward-facing eyes. So does every predator that's hunted horses for 50 million years. Wolves, mountain lions. All forward-facing. A horse looks at your face and sees a threat. The one in this video went flat on the ground next to one.

Horses evolved a locking system in their legs so they never have to lie down. Tendons and ligaments snap their joints into place and hold them there. Researchers found the lock is so efficient it uses less than 2% of the effort a horse would normally need to stand. They spend about 80% of their lives upright. Everything happens on their feet.

Lying down can get a horse killed. They've been hunted for 50 million years. Started out the size of dogs, running from things that wanted to eat them. A horse today weighs over a thousand pounds and can outrun a car in a school zone. But getting off the ground costs extra seconds. When something is chasing you, those seconds are the difference.

In wild herds, horses take turns sleeping. When one finally goes down for deep sleep (they only need about 30 minutes a day), the others stay standing and watch for danger. A horse living alone with no lookout will sometimes refuse to lie down for days. It would rather collapse from exhaustion than sleep unprotected.

I looked into what's going on in the horse's body during moments like this. A 2025 study tested horses before and after spending time near humans they trusted. Their bonding hormones spiked. Stress hormones stayed completely flat. Separate research that year found early signs that human and horse heartbeats can actually sync up when they're close together.

That horse shut down the only survival system its species has had for 50 million years, because it decided one person was worth the risk.

In memory of the great Catherine O'Hara, I think it's tragically beautiful & poetic that her final scene in a live-action narrative film was her riding the Soul Train at the end of BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE. A perfect farewell. Rest in peace, Catherine. See you at the Great Beyond.

no need for a halloween costume this year because there’s nothing scarier than being in your mid 20s and not knowing who you are or what you want to do anymore

@HorsesAreBetter Thank you! 😊

[Conan O'Brien @ConanOBrien]

The suspension of @jimmykimmel and the promise to silence other Late Night hosts for criticizing the administration should disturb everyone on the Right, Left, and Center.  It’s wrong and anyone with a conscience knows it’s wrong.

[Ozzy Osbourne @OzzyOsbourne]

It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love.

We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.

Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis

how it feels trying not to miss a good joke right now

people have gotten far too comfortable bringing their dogs to places where they do not belong and it’s really annoying
