Historic! This is the highest quality video ever taken of the moon!

Don’t let them know your next move.

This young lady was called Phillis because that was the name of the ship that brought her, and Wheatley, the name of the merchant who bought her. She was born in Senegal 🇸🇳. In Boston, the slave traders put her up for sale: “She's 7 years old! She will be a good mare!” She was felt naked by many hands. At thirteen, she was already writing poems in a language that was not her own. No one believed that she was the author. At twenty, Phillis was questioned by a court of eighteen so-called enlightened White men in robes and wigs. She had to recite passages from Virgil and Milton and verses from the Bible, and vow that the poems she composed were not copied. From a chair, she underwent her lengthy examination until the court approved her: she was a woman, she was Black, she was enslaved, but she was a poet. Phillis Wheatley was the first African-American writer to publish a book in the United States 🇺🇸

The public library is a quiet place for quiet people. Since I retired, I go there three days a week. I sit in the corner, read historical biographies, and enjoy the air conditioning. You see a lot of life happen in a library if you actually pay attention. A few months ago, I started noticing a young father coming in with his little girl. She looked about five, always wearing these bright light-up sneakers. She would run to the children's section, grab a pile of picture books, and drag him to a beanbag chair. She’d hold the book up to him. "Read it, Daddy!" And every time, the dad would do the same thing. He would look at the pages, clear his throat, and start making up a story based on the pictures. "And then the... the big bear went to the forest," he would say. "No Daddy," the little girl would correct him, pointing at the page. "That's a dog." He would laugh nervously, rub the back of his neck, and say, "Right. Silly Daddy. He forgot his glasses today." He forgot his glasses every Tuesday and Thursday for a month. I was an English teacher for forty years. I know what illiteracy looks like when it's trying to hide. The shame radiating off that young man was palpable. He loved his daughter enough to bring her to the library, but he couldn't read the words she loved. One afternoon, the little girl wandered off to look at a fish tank across the room. The dad sat alone, staring at a Dr. Seuss book. He looked defeated. I closed my biography, walked over, and sat in the small chair next to him. "They don't make English easy, do they?" I said quietly. He stiffened, defensive. "I just forgot my glasses." "I know," I said, keeping my voice low. "But when I was teaching, I found out that a lot of very smart, very capable people just never had someone sit down and teach them the rules of the letters. The system failed them. They didn't fail the system." He stared at the floor. I could see his jaw clenching. "I'm here Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays," I told him, sliding a blank piece of paper and a pencil across the small table. "If you ever want to read her the actual story... I've got nothing but time." I didn't wait for an answer. I just went back to my corner. He didn't come to me that day. Or the next. But two weeks later, on a Thursday, he walked over to my table while his daughter was at storytime. He pulled out the chair, sat down, and looked me dead in the eye. "I want to read the book about the caterpillar," he whispered. "Her birthday is next month. I want to read her the caterpillar book." That was six months ago. Yesterday, I sat in my corner and listened as a young man with a slight stutter perfectly read The Very Hungry Caterpillar to a little girl with light-up shoes. When he finished, she clapped. He looked over the bookshelf at me, and just nodded. Sometimes, the heaviest things we carry are the secrets we think make us broken. But if you're brave enough to ask for help, you'll usually find someone waiting to share the load.

This is awesome

This is what the night sky on Mars looks like 🤯

🚨 FROM EVERYTHING YOU KNOW… TO 46.5 BILLION LIGHT-YEARS INTO THE PAST Stop scrolling for a moment. Take a breath. This isn’t just a video — it’s a journey through space and time, from our home on Earth to the very edge of the observable universe. It begins here. Our sky. Our planet. Our tiny blue world, floating quietly in the dark. Then the view starts to pull back… and back… and back. Earth shrinks into a dot. The Sun becomes a spark. Our entire solar system fades into something almost invisible. But the journey keeps going. Galaxies appear — not dozens, not thousands, but billions. Each one filled with billions of stars, each star possibly holding worlds of its own. As the distance grows, something strange happens: the farther we go, the further into the past we look. This video takes us 46.5 billion light-years back in time, toward the oldest light the universe allows us to see. Somewhere along the way, a quiet realization hits: everything humanity has ever known exists in the very first moment of this journey. Every love story. Every war. Every dream. Every fear. All of it happened on that tiny speck you can barely see anymore. And beyond that? Darkness. Silence. Mystery. A boundary where our understanding ends — and the universe keeps its secrets. This video doesn’t try to impress you. It humbles you. Watch it carefully. By the time you reach the edge of everything — 46.5 billion light-years into the past — the universe won’t feel the same anymore. ✨

Grok explained the newly open sourced X algorithm in 10 clear and easy points: 1) When you open the "For You" feed on X, it starts by gathering your personal info, like who you follow and what posts you've liked, replied to, or shared in the past—this helps customize what you see. 2) Next, it collects potential posts from two main places: ones from people you already follow (called in-network) and new discoveries from across all of X (called out-of-network) that might interest you. 3) The in-network posts come from a fast system that stores recent updates from your followed accounts in memory, making it quick to grab without delays. 4) For out-of-network posts, it uses smart AI to compare your interests (based on your history) with all posts on X, picking ones that seem similar or relevant through a matching process. 5) Once it has these candidate posts, it adds extra details to each, like the post's text, images, videos, author's name, and whether they're verified or if it's behind a paywall. 6) Then, it cleans up the list by removing duplicates, old posts, your own stuff, anything from blocked or muted people, keywords you don't like, or things you've already seen. 7) Now, a powerful AI model (based on Grok) looks at your past interactions and predicts how likely you are to like, reply, repost, click, or even dislike each post—giving each a score. 8) It combines these predictions into one final score per post, boosting good actions (like likes) and lowering bad ones (like blocks), while adjusting to mix in variety so one person doesn't dominate your feed. 9) The posts are sorted by these scores, and the top ones are selected to create your feed, ensuring a balanced mix of familiar and new content. 10) Finally, it does one last check to remove any deleted, spammy, violent, or inappropriate posts, then serves up the ranked feed for you to scroll through.

This made me so happy 🤩🤩🤩
