More billionaires than ever — with possibly the first trillionaire being one of the worst people — in the world though, so I wonder where all the money has gone

‘Tulip’ comes from the Turkish word ‘tülbent’ which means "turban."
The flower got its name from the resemblance of its overlapping petals to the folds of fabric in a turban.

A zygote is the result of a sperm joining an egg.
‘Zygote’ comes from the Greek word for ‘yoke.’
A ‘yoke’ is a wooden beam that JOINS two animals together.
The ‘yolk’ of an egg is from the Old English word for “yellow.”
‘Yoke’ and ‘yolk’ have no relation to each other.

Had the radio on while driving earlier, the host named a #JustinBeiber song and started playing it
10 seconds pass, it sounded nice but it wasn’t Beiber’s voice
The song ends, still nope
I was very confused:
It was CLEARLY a woman’s voice!?
…and that was me listening to “YUKON” for the 1st time
10 seconds pass, it sounded nice but it wasn’t Beiber’s voice

49 POINTS. 9 TRIPLES. 🤯
Stephen Curry records his second-straight 40-point game for the 1st time since November 2022!
He is now 1 of 2 players in NBA history to record back-to-back games of 45+ points after turning 35 years old!
The other? Michael Jordan.

Zohran Mamdani represents something much bigger than one mayoral race.
He had demonstrated the electability of a kind of politics that is unashamedly progressive, rooted in the needs of the working class, and that is terrifying to the wealth-hoarding billionaires.

When fossil fuels such as the coal in this bag are burned, small particles called fly ash are released into the air. Crawford Lake’s sediments capture a dramatic increase in fly ash in the 1950s, coinciding with rapid industrialization locally and globally.
