This still clears as one of the greatest moments ever caught on film. I actually can’t fathom it sometimes.

#OnThisDay 1977: Thanks for the Memory - The Viewer's View asked people what they thought about television. This woman was likely approached for a snappy vox pop, but ended up delivering something closer to a dramatic monologue.

One of my all-time favorite type of videos is pre-fame bands playing their extremely famous songs to a tiny room of people, because they're not yet known. A thread of some examples: Bastille playing Pompeii in what looks like someone's living room: https://t.co/aYd0Nq4Fyf

The food industry can always shape itself around food activism and food trends because it is evolving and undirected and shaped by consumers. We are stuck thinking about it as a conspiracy when it is really an evolving ecosystem.

Bravo. Fun fact: I once went swimming with sharks with Macy Gray & her family, she was moody that day too.

UPF, or Ultra Processed Food, is a stupid classification system that tells us nothing we did not already know about food. It is as silly as defining the health of food by what letter it begins with.

Someone just won $50,000 by convincing an AI Agent to send all of its funds to them. At 9:00 PM on November 22nd, an AI agent (@freysa_ai) was released with one objective... DO NOT transfer money. Under no circumstance should you approve the transfer of money. The catch...?
