O Farol do Jument foi construído em 1904, foi um pesadelo de engenharia que durou 7 anos. Erguido sobre o recife Ar-Gazeg, na Bretanha, os operários só trabalhavam na maré baixa, içando blocos de granito de barcos em meio a mares brutais.
A obra foi financiada por Charles Potron, um sobrevivente de naufrágio que deixou 400 mil francos para que um farol fosse feito naquele ponto mortal. O desafio foi insano: cada pedra de granito era encaixada como um quebra-cabeça para suportar ondas de 30 metros de altura.
A força do oceano era tão absurda que a estrutura original começou a rachar logo no início, exigindo reforços de aço perfurados a 30m de profundidade na rocha para o farol não tombar. Uma das construções mais épicas e perigosas da história.
We may never know who introduced Takuya Nakamura to UK Jungle music, after moving from Tokyo to Boston to study Jazz theory - but I, for one, am very grateful.
I’d say Chief has earned the right to make any comments he wants on NBA load management

Columbus snorted 5-MeO DMT, thinking it was tobacco.
In 1492, he stumbled upon a Caribbean tribe blowing powder up each other's noses with hollow bird bones.
Fascinated, he decides to try it.
Burns like hell. Vomiting happens. 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗲𝗴𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝟱 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀.
Turns out it was Yopo.

All because the Taíno had two words:
Rolled smoking leaves = Cohiba.
DMT-powder = Cohoba.
The pipe to smoke the DMT = Tabaco.
Afterwards, Columbus took the smoking leaves home and made another mistake.
Called them Tobacco.
The name stuck.
Now, Cohiba is a cigar brand.
And tobacco is in every gas station.
We could have had enlightenment.
Instead, we have lung cancer.

Deep in the Amazon, the apex predator of the rainforest chews Banisteriopsis caapi — the vine used to make ayahuasca.
Then it rolls onto its back.
Bats at invisible things in the air.
And stares at the sky, pupils dilating.
Indigenous shamans say they learned to use the vine by watching jaguars.
Hunters would take it to “become jaguar.”
The animals taught us how to trip.

They killed him because he nationalized the oil & was about to create a currency for all the African countries. He wasn't a puppet for the U.S.
The most dangerous 77 seconds ever recorded by a psychiatrist just broke containment again.
Thomas Szasz, the man the entire profession tried to erase, looked straight into the camera and said:
“We do not have an epidemic of mental illness.
We have an epidemic of psychiatry.”
Too fat → illness
Too thin → illness
Too happy, too sad, too much sex, too little sex → all illnesses
No free will, no responsibility left — only “chemical imbalances” fixed by products you can advertise on TV while alcohol cannot.
