@F1BigData Ridiculous.

OMG 😍😍 Sunset mothership insanity between #Lampman & #Willmar, #Saskatchewan - June 6th 2026. One of the easiest, most relaxing and most rewarding chases of my career. Barely moving for 2.5hrs before strolling East with the storm.

Thank you Canada 🇨🇦

@yegwave Translation, they did not get any kick backs?

Wow! What an incredible performance from Edmonton's Acro Crew! Congratulations on your Golden Buzzer! Alberta is cheering you on every step of the way. 👏🐕

@JackieBee_16 @MorganLaidler Nuts, how long it take to get through that qty, especially sicko’s that probably drool over each. Throw away the key!

🚨 SCIENTISTS EXPLAIN: Light doesn’t actually “slow down” in glass time does. And that’s exactly why rainbows exist.

For centuries we were taught that light slows down when it enters glass or water, causing refraction. But the deeper reality is more beautiful: light still travels at c between atoms. What changes is the time delay caused by constant absorption and re-emission by the material’s electrons.
This tiny delay is different for every wavelength → which is why white light splits into a rainbow.

Why this matters:
• In vacuum, light always travels at c
• In glass/water, the phase velocity and group velocity appear slower due to interactions with matter
• Different colors (wavelengths) experience different delays → dispersion
• This is what creates rainbows, prisms, and the beautiful colors we see in nature

The deeper implication is mind-bending:
Light doesn’t “slow down” like a car hitting traffic. It’s constantly being absorbed and re-emitted by atoms, and the accumulated time delay reshapes how the wave propagates. The universe uses time itself as a tool to bend light and paint rainbows across the sky.

What do you think is this one of the most elegant explanations in physics?

Mind pop!

🚨: You’re closer in size to the entire observable universe than to the smallest possible scale of reality—the Planck length—by roughly 400 million times.

Let that sink in.

Retweet if you played with a ball like this as a kid (or still do) 🤣⚽️

Well Mando and Grogu is a audio visual masterpiece as Star Wars has always intended. Was fun, go see it.

@lynnmercereau Something wrong with you if you do not.

@JackieBee_16 Seen plenty hurt feet in rugby, and work for that matter, but that takes the cake for sure. Frame it😂😉

In Alberta news, some crazy fucker breaks a world record driving off our local waterfall. Shout out to Dusty Friesen and his boat named Dent.

In the wide shots of Legolas, Aragorn, and Gimli running after the Orcs, all three performers were running while injured. Orlando Bloom had a couple of broken ribs (from a fall off a horse). Viggo Mortensen had two broken toes (from kicking the helmet in the Orcs' funeral pyre scene). Brett Beattie (Gimli's stunt double) had a knee injury. Sir Peter Jackson said that all three were very dedicated and continued filming the scene, often yelling "ouch" or "ow" after "cut" was called.

In Kruger National Park, South Africa, veteran ranger Sipho Nkosi suffered a heart attack while on solo patrol. His vehicle was found empty, and search teams began looking for him.

What the park’s remote trail cameras revealed broke the hearts of everyone who saw the footage.

An old bull elephant — known to rangers as “Mnumzane” (Zulu for “Sir”) — had found Sipho’s body. For three full days and nights, the elephant refused to leave. He stood guard, gently touching the ranger with his trunk, chasing away hyenas and jackals that came too close, and even covering parts of the body with branches and leaves.

On the third night, the elephant was still there — visibly grieving, swaying slowly beside his fallen friend. Only when the full recovery team arrived with vehicles did Mnumzane finally step back, watching solemnly as they carried Sipho away.

Park officials later confirmed that Sipho had rescued this same elephant as a calf years earlier after poachers killed his mother. The elephant had never forgotten.

One colleague who viewed the footage whispered:

“He didn’t come to say goodbye. He came to make sure no one disrespected his brother.”

Mnumzane still visits the exact spot regularly. Rangers now leave fresh water and fruit there in honor of both.

@wealthmoose Well, he thinks we should be part of Euro, so compare to those numbers.
