⛹️🎤 Serena Winters — widely recognized as the Lakers’ sideline reporter — became a fan favorite thanks to her wholesome pregame fist-bump tradition with the team. Before each tipoff, she’d make her way down the sideline, offering every player a quick fist bump, a ritual that stars like Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, and Nick Young gladly joined in on. What made it special was its authenticity. Nothing about it felt staged; it was a genuine moment of connection that reflected the trust and camaraderie she’d built within the organization. Fans began looking forward to it every game, and clips of the fist bumps regularly went viral for their simple, feel-good charm. The tradition became one of the most memorable sideline moments in Lakers media — a reminder that even in a high-pressure sport, the smallest gestures can leave the biggest impact. #history #reels #nba #kindness #love

Scientists have discovered & revived a 48,500-year-old “zombie virus” in Russia as a result of climate change. Samples were collected from permafrost in the Siberia region of Russia, reviving 13 new pathogens “including one frozen under a lake more than 48,500 years ago.” They found that these viruses remain infectious despite being dormant for hundreds of millennia.

New York at Christmas in the late ’80s and early ’90s shimmered with ambition, glamour, and just a touch of chaos. Snow drifted through the neon haze of Times Square and the golden glow along Fifth Avenue. Tailored suits swept past fur coats, perfume mingled with steam rising from manholes, and black limousines crept through traffic as shoppers hunted for cashmere sweaters, gold watches, Walkmans, and freshly boxed Game Boys tied with red ribbon. 💫 Department stores came alive with animated windows, drawing crowds of wide-eyed kids, while inside, the sound of credit cards and holiday chatter echoed beneath chandeliers. Marble hotel lobbies sparkled with towering trees, business deals whispered over scotch even as carols floated through the air. High above it all, penthouses looked out over a silvered Central Park, ice skaters etching quiet patterns into the frozen lake below. 🎅🎄 But the city never slept. Street vendors roasted chestnuts on corners, neon signs flickered without pause, and graffiti-splashed brownstones kept the city grounded in its grit. Christmas in New York was urgent, opulent, and electric — a season where elegance met hustle, and festive magic pulsed right alongside the city’s relentless drive. ✨ Via: @purestnostalgia

Beloved grandparents Russell and Shirley Dermond of Lake Oconee never made it to their neighbor’s Kentucky Derby party in May 2014. Days later, both were found m*rdered — a case the FBI has called “one of the strangest”.

Charlie Munger’s timeless wisdom still as sharp today as it was in 2010. In this conversation at Harvard-Westlake, Munger dissected why even the smartest people make terrible decisions, how academia can lead entire generations astray, and why true investing success comes from independent thinking and avoiding stupidity rather than chasing brilliance. His clarity on markets, psychology, and human behavior remains unmatched a reminder that wisdom often lies in simplicity and discipline. #CharlieMunger #ValueInvesting #WarrenBuffett #InvestorMindset #FinancialWisdom #BehavioralFinance #InvestmentPhilosophy #LongTermThinking #SantangelsReview

Swipe ⬅️ New York City has officially experienced its first snowfall of the season, turning bustling streets and iconic landmarks into a scene straight out of a winter postcard. Light flakes floated over skyscrapers, Central Park, and lively avenues, offering residents and visitors a brief yet enchanting pause from the city’s constant energy. Though the snow was light, it signaled the arrival of the colder months—and with them, the familiar excitement of holiday lights, cozy cafés, and the city’s unmistakable winter charm.

A leaf-sized robot skims across a pond, its tiny legs ticking in rhythm with invisible heat pulses. The magic isn’t in a motor, it’s in the way it’s made. University of Virginia engineers devised HydroSpread, a manufacturing method that builds soft machines directly on liquid, where fragile films form flawlessly and complex shapes are cut with light.⁠ ⁠ Instead of peeling ultrathin polymers from glass and hoping they survive, droplets land on water and self-spread into uniform, hair-thin sheets. A laser etches fins, legs, even intricate logos, while the liquid substrate wicks away heat to prevent warping. The result is precision without the usual casualties, and patterns detailed enough to choreograph motion at millimeter scale.⁠ ⁠ Those sheets become bilayer actuators, two layers that expand differently when warmed. Under an infrared lamp, they bend and snap on command, turning tiny temperature swings into thrust. In demos, HydroFlexor paddled with fin-like strokes and HydroBuckler “walked” on water by buckling its legs, echoing the surface-savvy gait of strider insects.⁠ ⁠ Because fabrication happens on water from the start, integration gets easier: microheaters, magnetic fillers, or light-responsive materials can be added without risky transfers. That opens a path to autonomous micromachines that steer with sunlight or fields instead of bulky batteries and gears.⁠ ⁠ The same approach could also deliver skin-conforming medical sensors, flexible circuits that shrug off bends, and fleets of disposable samplers that skim lakes for pollutants. HydroSpread isn’t just a clever trick, it’s a playbook for building machines that thrive where rigid tech fails.⁠ ⁠ #softrobotics #robotics #materials #microbots #uva #scienceadvances #environmentalmonitoring #wearables #biomimetics
