Watching the World. The older I get, the more I think 'what the f8ck?'. Often baffled. Looking for answers from grown ups. Not on Twixxer or whatever it's called.

The treadmill screening of β€˜THE LONG WALK’ took place, where every person had to walk on a treadmill faster than 3MPH for the whole movie.

If they stopped, they were escorted out of the theater.

The image is a heatmap titled "Measles," showing measles cases across U.S. states from 1928 to 2003. States listed on the y-axis include Alaska, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The x-axis spans years from 1928 to 2003. A vertical line marks the introduction of the measles vaccine around 1963. The color scale at the bottom ranges from blue (0 cases) to red (4,000+ cases), with shades of green, yellow, and orange indicating intermediate values (1,000, 2,000, 3,000 cases). Before 1963, many states show frequent high case numbers (yellow to red), while after 1963, cases drop significantly, with mostly blue indicating near-zero cases.

And yet Joe Rogan puts guests on who say "Vaccines aren't actually responsible for the reduction in infectious diseases.”

TRUTH: The massive fire that destroyed Altadena was not a β€œforest fire.” The fire had nothing to do with forest management or water policy.

Three main reasons the fire exploded:

1. Drought-like conditions
2. Very low relative humidity
3. Santa Ana winds reaching 100 mph

Good Morning β˜• and Happy New Years Eve🍾πŸ₯‚

When you look back on this past year don't think of the pain

Think of the strength you gained and appreciate how far you've come

You've been through a lot and also grown a lot

Give yourself credit for your resilience and step forward again with grace

A meme of TinTin speaking to Captain.

Captain, looking defeated, says "2020 has been a hell of a year"

TinTin replies "Captain, it's almost 2025”
