The average growth rate from 10,000 BCE to 1700 was just 0.04% per year.

Wow that's crazy to me. I had always envisioned humans steadily spreading and growing constantly. I had no idea that we were basically treading water for so long.

I love stumbling across random information like this. I had no idea that mint spread so aggressively - and will likely never need this information. But it's fun to learn.

University of Oxford astronomer Matthew Hopkins is part of a team of scientists that think 3I/ATLAS, discovered on July 1, 2025 by the ATLAS survey telescope, is around 7 billion years old.

I don't know how I missed hearing about this until now!

Yeah I don't know why they think Trump would ever sunbathe. His orange hue doesn't come naturally.

KELLY: It's totally crazy.

Well I agree with him on that part.

I used to be in a barbershop quartet in Skokie, Illinois. The baritone was this guy named Kip Diskin, big fat guy, I mean, like, orca fat. He was so stressed in the morning...

I feel bad you're getting down voted, because I was thinking the same thing. If the reply was just "Brian." I suppose it would have made more sense to me. But since they tagged his full name first, it was throwing me off.

Seriously, could you imagine if delicious food that we enjoyed just lazily drifted down from the sky? Hot wings from heaven sounds dope as hell.

That's actually a brilliant review and sums up my feelings on having played League of Legends for several years.

 

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte called President Donald Trump "Daddy" on Wednesday, reacting to the president's recent use of expletives when he accused Iran and Israel of violating a ceasefire agreement.

Early Wednesday morning during a bilateral meeting between Trump and Rutte during the NATO Summit in The Hague, Netherlands, Trump likened the countries of Israel and Iran to "two kids in a schoolyard" that had a "big fight."

"You know, they fight like hell. You can't stop them. Let them fight for about two-three minutes, then it's easy to stop them," he continued.

Rutte raised eyebrows when he interjected, "Daddy has to sometimes use strong language to get them to stop."

...

Yet the White House continues to embrace the "daddy" title, posting on X a video compilation of Trump's NATO trip set to the tune of Usher's "Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home)" with the accompanying text: "Daddy's home… Hey, hey, hey, Daddy."

Greene's squabble with Grok happened after the Georgia lawmaker posted about her Christian faith on X, writing: "I'm a Christian, an imperfect sinner saved by grace and faith in Jesus. I'm a nationalist, a proud American, who loves my country and wants to make our home nation is the best place for all American citizens and future generations to come." ...

Another X user ran Greene's post through Grok, asking the AI bot, "[I]s is true? Is she really a Christian?"

Grok responded by saying that while Greene "identifies as a Christian" by expressing her faith in Jesus Christ and having traditional beliefs, "her Christian nationalism and support for conspiracy theories, like QAnon, spark debate."
