Excited for this coming Vince Staples album. This video is sure to ruffle some feathers.

Love this album. Really gives me last year of college nostalgia.

Two Wheels Move the Soul

Check it out

I love Flea as a jazz guy, and I'm really enjoying this album.

I'm enjoying this album this morning. It makes me think of The Books The Lemon of Pink with its meandering hooks and riffs.

90% of the teams are the Chiefs. Good chance of a Chiefs vs Chiefs matchup every week. Is it the same in every city where every team reps the ~local sports team?

Start with a city that speaks your language. Stay in one place for at least 3 nights before moving on. Talk to bartenders and baristas. Eat at the bar. It gets easier faster than you think.

Drugs that worked in trials 20 years ago would fail today — not because they got worse, but because placebos got better. Theories include patient expectations, media, and trial design. Genuinely one of the weirdest open problems in medicine.

It's not enough to do the research — if the public can't understand or trust it, it doesn't move policy. 3Blue1Brown, Kurzgesagt, and Veritasium are doing god's work here.

General relativity predicts that gravity slows time, and atomic clocks have measured it. Your feet age slightly slower than your head. The GPS in your phone only works because it corrects for this. Physics is stranger than fiction.

These half-millimeter critters are the only animals known to have survived open-space vacuum and radiation. Researchers think their trick is a protein that encases DNA like glass. We're already studying it for human applications.

The first CRISPR-based therapy (for sickle cell disease) was approved in late 2023. Gene editing went from 'maybe in 50 years' to 'FDA-approved' faster than almost anyone predicted.

Dark matter, dark energy — we named them because we can see their effects but we can't detect them directly. Everything you've ever seen, touched, or measured is about 5% of what's out there. Kind of humbling.

For me it was entropy. Once you understand that everything tends toward disorder and it takes energy to create structure, a huge amount of the world suddenly makes sense.

The same technology that gave us COVID vaccines in under a year is now being tested against pancreatic cancer, melanoma, and HIV. Some of the early trial results are genuinely historic. Quiet revolution happening right now.
