@AmicuriousJ @MuseZack And if you wanted cable or (gasp) HBO you could watch it only when babysitting rich kids after they were in bed.

@brclothwrites I opt for closed doors so the monsters under the bed can’t roam the house. They are messy.

@brclothwrites People are so weird. Good on you for catching her in her lies.

Wells Fargo sucks.

I love Los pollos hermanos!

[Saul Goodman ⚖ @itsSaulGoodman]

Which follower wants a Los Pollos Hermanos apron and willing to take a selfie after they win? Retweet and like to enter.

@farkingfangirl @JLRHollis We cancelled Disney. We only like art that isn’t stealing from artists.

@brclothwrites I hear you. I switched to teaching college but I did have a kick me sign put on my back when I taught middle school.

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY - 72 - and all I want for my birthday is for you to RETWEET THIS VIDEO!

🚨 BREAKING: Twitter is CENSORING this ad as "sensitive" to stop it from spreading.

MAGA doesn’t want you to know they’re cutting Obamacare & raising costs for 20 million Americans.

SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE and follow the ad's creator so Elon can’t silence them: @_joejacobson_

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms. It’s never been more important to support men and women who respect the Constitution and the rule of law. So make a plan to vote at https://t.co/IEdmXIyBzp.

I just fell in love with Vince Gilligan all over again. AI is trash.

Researchers have recorded the briefest interval of time ever measured: 247 zeptoseconds—the duration for a photon of light to traverse a hydrogen molecule.

That's 0.000000000000000000247 seconds.A zeptosecond equals one trillionth of a billionth of a second, a realm where light, the universe's speed champion, advances mere fractions of an atomic diameter. For scale, a single second contains as many zeptoseconds as there are seconds in 31.7 trillion years—vastly exceeding the age of the cosmos.

Physicist Reinhard Dörner and colleagues at Goethe University Frankfurt achieved this using intense X-rays from Hamburg's PETRA III accelerator. They aimed at hydrogen molecules—the simplest in existence, comprising two protons and two electrons. An incoming photon struck both electrons in rapid sequence, akin to a stone skipping across water.

To resolve this fleeting event, the team employed a COLTRIMS reaction microscope, an ultra-precise instrument that tracks particle positions and momenta. By examining the interference patterns from the two expelled electrons, they pinpointed the precise lag between the photon's impact on the first electron and the second.The finding: 247 zeptoseconds.

This demonstrates that light does not illuminate a molecule instantaneously, even at this tiny scale; the delay stems from light's finite velocity of roughly 186,000 miles per second (300,000 km/s). It represents the first direct observation of light propagating inside a molecule.

By contrast, chemical reactions unfold over femtoseconds—a thousandfold longer. Zeptosecond precision opens a window into quantum timescales, where electron and photon dynamics govern matter's core behaviors.

@glenn_tunes It is tough. I watch Norwegian shows and pretend I live there.

@atrupar Wow. Who gets these trillions of dollars that all our work produces? Cause it’s not the workers.

@simonmaechling Surprise

@billifer1973 No. If it were that easy, you could go to depression camp and be cured (for 1st 3 things). Money helps meet needs and wants, including treatment, but is not always going to make depression go away.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

I love this.

Donald Trump is giving $20 billion of taxpayer money to Argentina – to help his political ally stay in power and bail out Wall Street hedge funds – while Americans at home can't afford health care or groceries.

@bradleywhitford Can’t wait! Loved you in West Wing, HMT, and now this to look forward to!
