« Si tu as un problème, cela signifie qu'il peut être résolu. S'il ne peut pas être résolu, alors ce n'est pas un problème. C'est une réalité qu'il faut accepter. »
— Gustavo Fring
Meryl Streep aurait un jour confié :
« Je ne cours plus après l’attention, l’amour ou le respect. Je ne veux pas faire partie de la vie de quelqu’un simplement parce qu’il pense devoir me garder auprès de lui. Je veux être là parce qu’il me choisit sincèrement.
Si je dois prouver ma valeur, mendier de l’attention ou convaincre quelqu’un de se soucier de moi, alors je sais que je ne suis pas au bon endroit.
La vie est trop courte pour continuer à consacrer son énergie à des personnes et à des situations qui ne nous donnent rien en retour. Vieillir ne me fait pas peur. Ce qui me fait peur, c’est de me perdre moi-même simplement pour rendre les autres heureux.
Alors, aujourd’hui, je choisis la paix. Je choisis les personnes qui reconnaissent ma valeur sans que j’aie besoin de la réclamer. Et surtout, je choisis de rester fidèle à moi-même. »

JULIAN ASSANGE: "The goal is to have an endless war, not a successful war."
War is a taxation based money laundering racket for the transnational security elite - it matters very little to them whether it's in Ukraine or Afghanistan, the goal is theft of public money.
There was a time when Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour was earning so much money that he described the amount as “obscene.” He recalled how he would spend his mornings writing checks to charities, simply trying to find a meaningful way to use his enormous wealth. But one day, he decided to go even further. After selling his London home for £4.5 million, Gilmour donated the entire proceeds to Crisis, a charity helping homeless people. “I don’t need that money, and I just thought it would be the right thing to do,” he modestly explained.
Reflecting on life with his characteristic wisdom, Gilmour spoke about the simplicity he had come to value: “You start collecting Ferraris, then you have to buy buildings to put them in, and then you have to employ people to look after the people who look after all your possessions. Life becomes very complicated. And at some point — at least, that’s what happened to me — you find yourself thinking, ‘I don’t need any of this.’ And suddenly, life becomes simpler.”
That fresh smell after rain is called petrichor.
When raindrops hit dry soil, they release plant oils and geosmin from bacteria, creating that rich, earthy scent.
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt drops a chilling warning on AI's future
"Within 5 years, AI could handle infinite context, chain-of-thought reasoning for 1000-step solutions, and millions of agents working together.
Eventually, they'll develop their own language... and we won't understand what they're doing."
His final words: "Pull the plug."
This is the man who ran Google talking about the singularity.
The North Tower of the World Trade Center collapses.
The Marriot Hotel, a separate building located at the base of the tower, is also destroyed.
A 40-story portion of the building stands for several seconds after the collapse, then falls.
Perhaps 20,000 people are dead.
