In a 2015 game against the Blazers, Russell Westbrook got kneed in the head by a teammate and fractured his cheekbone.
He stayed in the game—with a visible dent—and finished with 40 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists.
Brodie had surgery and missed one game.

The Ravens started Daniel Faalele for a full 17 games in 2025 to protect Lamar Jackson

i love nature docs & i recently came across one that hit me super hard. turns out the labords chameleon’s life cycle is extremely short. they live only 4-5 months & immediately die after laying & burying their eggs (which is their only purpose)z
in the final moments their nervous system begins to fail as their brain loses control of skin cells, so random nerve firings cause the skin to randomly change colors which causes a ridiculous art as they slowly die. it’s like sort of a visualization of the brain’s final flickerings.
pristine example of nature’s beauty, tragedy, & brutality at the same time.

The literacy crisis isn’t just about people struggling to read words. It’s about losing the ability to understand context, infer meaning, question information, and form your own conclusions. And relying on AI to do all that thinking for us is only making the problem worse.
Francis Ford Coppola on why 'Apocalypse Now' (1979) is not an anti-war film:
“No one wants to make a pro-war film, everyone wants to make an anti-war film. But an anti-war film, I always thought, should be like 'The Burmese Harp' (1956) – something filled with love, peace, tranquility & happiness.
It shouldn’t have sequences of violence that inspire a lust for violence. 'Apocalypse Now' (1979) has stirring scenes of helicopters attacking innocent people. That’s not anti-war.”
