What questions do successful people actually ask themselves in their 50s, 60s, 70s? Not "what's next" — something deeper. The Masterwork Years digs into this. https://t.co/S82jv0AkNh

Sleeping less than six hours per night can cause measurable reductions in brain volume, particularly in the frontal regions responsible for focus and decision-making.

Chronic sleep deprivation leads to a gradual loss of cortical gray matter, weakening neural connections over time.

This reduction affects memory, emotional balance, and cognitive performance.
The effects are subtle at first but accumulate with continued lack of rest.
Prioritizing consistent, restorative sleep is essential to protect brain structure and maintain mental health.

Since it’s America’s 250th Birthday this year, Las Vegas is hosting a special fireworks show every Saturday at 9pm through July 25.

Today’s show took place at Aria, Planet Hollywood, and MGM. We watched it from the new In-N-Out location. Awesome fireworks show! 🥳🇺🇸

Memorial Day and Veterans Day hold two very different meanings. 🇺🇸

Tomorrow, we honor those who lost their lives in service to our nation. In November, we thank the living veterans who served.

Share this to help remind Americans of the difference.

It's Memorial Day weekend - It's not just a long weekend, its a weekend to remember all the fallen vets who gave their lives so we can have freedom. 🫡🇺🇸

“The possibilities with AI are almost unlimited. If you think about what intelligence is and let’s take human intelligence, first of all. Human intelligence always astounds me, and I don’t think we think about this enough. It’s created modern civilisation around us. Sometimes when I’m flying over to the US for a business trip or something on a 747, I sometimes look out the window and think, “how have we as humanity manage this with our sort of primate brains?” It seems incredible to me, and I don’t think people stop and think how magical that really is.”

- chemistry laureate Demis Hassabis on the possibilities of artificial intelligence.

Hassabis was awarded the 2024 chemistry prize for presenting an AI model called AlphaFold2. With its help, it's possible to predict the structure of virtually all known proteins.

This is one of the most famous images in photographic history.

The first ever X-ray image was taken in 1895 by Wilhelm Röntgen – who was then awarded the first #NobelPrize in Physics in 1901.
