“The Speed of the Earth” has returned to Black Rock City. Originally created in 02024, this art piece by Long Now Board members Kevin Kelly and David Rumsey uses a mile-long line of solar-powered LED strobes to create a streak of light that moves at the speed of the Earth's rotation.

Tom Holland says Jon Bernthal stayed completely mute for two weeks while filming, then broke character when a waitress put his lemon in his water instead of on his salmon
“John was playing a mute. He was like, ‘I’m not going to talk. I’m going full method. I’m going to need your help’”
“For two weeks, not a peep out of him. We’re sitting at restaurants and he’s writing down his food. I’m having to say, ‘I’m sorry about my friend. He’s just a pretentious actor’”
“She brought the lemon and dropped it in his water. Immediately he was like, ‘ALRIGHT, FUCK IT. I’M TALKING AGAIN’”

PM of Denmark Mette Frederiksen on Mark Carney: "The speech you gave in Davos, I have never experienced anything like this. I mean, people in Denmark have been talking about, they have been reading your speech. And I don't think I have ever heard so many reflections on a speech from a colleague."
🚨 BREAKING: The House Oversight Committee just voted to subpoena Pam Bondi over the Epstein investigation.
24-19. Five Republicans crossed over.
This is massive.
Pam Bondi runs the DOJ that withheld Epstein images showing death and physical abuse. That redacted the names of powerful clients. That was caught red handed hiding FBI witness interviews of a woman accusing Trump of sexually assaulting her as a minor.
And now five Republicans just voted to drag her in front of Congress under oath.
The walls are closing in.
