Anyway, here's the video, totally worth some space in your Meatball

I'm tired of seeing all of these serious illnesses on my timeline being sponsored by go fund me's, something is wrong with our civilization.

One of the scariest is false vacuum decay. Measurements of the Higgs and top quark suggest our universe sits in a metastable state. A quantum fluctuation could spawn a bubble of true vacuum that expands at light speed, rewriting the laws of physics and erasing everything with zero warning. The odds are vanishingly small, yet the concept is pure cosmic horror most people never encounter.
Here's an uncomfortable truth, this week we have an AI model that can reverse engineer software and merge video games that took years for human programmers to write and probably make it better. Yeah cool, right?

Having long been aware of those tech bros who read my work as utopian porn, where they’ve taken that doesn’t exactly surprise me.
Odd thing in my timeline, one year, there weren't any pearapples, then they were all over the place.

HYPOTHETICALLY… IF I BOUGHT MY HOUSE FOR $125,000 IN 2002 AND THE COUNTY NOW SAYS IT’S WORTH $487,000, WHERE DID I ACTUALLY MAKE $362,000?
Did I sell it? No.
Did I receive $362,000? No.
Did somebody hand me a check for the new assessed value? Obviously not.
But my property taxes still go up because, on paper, my house is suddenly worth hundreds of thousands more.
That’s the part that doesn’t make sense to me.
This isn’t income.
It isn’t cash sitting in my bank account.
It’s a number someone assigned to my property, and now I’m being billed based on that number.
If my stock portfolio doubles but I don’t sell, I haven’t turned that gain into cash.
If my salary stays the same, I don’t suddenly owe more income tax because someone thinks I’m worth more.
So why does owning a home work differently?
WHY AM I PAYING TAX ON A GAIN I NEVER REALIZED?
A house isn’t just an investment.
It’s where people live.
You can pay off the mortgage, own the property outright, and still face a bigger bill every year because the value of the house went up on paper.
At some point, you have to ask what “owning” something actually means if the cost of keeping it can keep rising because of money you never received.
THIS ISN’T ABOUT WHETHER THE HOUSE IS “WORTH” MORE.
IT’S ABOUT BEING CHARGED FOR VALUE YOU NEVER TURNED INTO CASH.
And people are starting to notice.

On paper, I’m in my 50’s & it’s really confusing…
In my head, I’m 35.
At a concert, I’m 25
After 10pm, I’m 72.
Getting up off the floor, I’m 93.
When someone makes me mad, I’m 2
BUT-
When an 80’s song comes on,
I’m 17, drunk in a field, & my mom thinks I’m at a sleepover
🤪

The man who tried to climb down the outside of Tower 1 on 9/11.
This is his story.

A Frasier episode titled “Odd Man Out,” which aired May 27, 1997 — more than four years before 9/11, had a lady interest of Frasier leave specific flight information so they could meet at the airport in Seattle on her way to New York. The episode specifically has flight identified as American Airlines Flight 11. David Angel created and executive produced Frasier. David Angel and his wife perished that morning on Flight 11 when it crashed into the North Tower. *shivers*
Some days this is easy to understand and others, not. – at San de Fuca, WA
