Neil deGrasse Tyson - American astrophysicist and writer - talks about how things used to be - posted on Instagram:

AI - Taking Over Your Child's Life . . . ???

 Social Media Scare for Parents, Children, Grandparents . . . 


I first saw this on instagram - here are some of the comments from that post:


Big Tech in close partnership with big government has been doing this for a long time long before there was any indication that they would use it for evil. In fact, they promised us they would not use it for evil, but they did and they still are, and they will continue. But they will blame parents and friends, and even the victim themselves for being careless and reckless Online. This is the frosting on the devil’s cake. everyone trusted tech and gov when they assured us that our privacy mattered and our content was protected. It never was. They lied and now they will point the finger at parents and friends and the victims themselves. This is absolutely the height of the most evil.

breathe . . . Just Let Me Breathe . . .

breathe by Becky Hemsley

She sat at the back and they said she was shy,
She led from the front and they hated her pride.
They asked her advice and then questioned her guidance,
They branded her loud, then were shocked by her silence.

When she shared no ambition they said it was sad,
So she told them her dreams and they said she was mad.
They told her they’d listen, then covered their ears,
And gave her a hug while they laughed at her fears.

And she listened to all of it thinking she should,
Be the girl they told her to be best as she could.
But one day she asked what was best for herself,
Instead of trying to please everyone else.

So she walked to the forest and stood with the trees,
She heard the wind whisper and dance with the leaves.
She spoke to the willow, the elm and the pine,
And she told them what she’d been told time after time.

She told them she felt she was never enough,
She was either too little or far far too much.
Too loud or too quiet, too fierce or too weak,
Too wise or too foolish, too bold or too meek.

Then she found a small clearing surrounded by firs,
And she stopped…and she heard what the trees said to her.
And she sat there for hours not wanting to leave,
For the forest said nothing, it just let her breathe`.

The Illusion Of All Illusions - Can YOU see?

This is called 
The Coffer Illusion
In this image there are 16 circles

Can you find them?

The Coffer Illusion is a fascinating example of a visual phenomenon where the observer's perception alternates between seeing shapes and not seeing them.

In this specific illusion, the image contains 16 circles, which are often not immediately noticeable.

This occurs because the human brain is more attuned to processing straight lies and angles in this context, rather than curves or circles.  As a result, the circles, which are formed by the arrangement of other shapes and lines, become "Hidden in Plain Sight".

The Coffer Illusion highlights the complex ways in which our visual system interprets and organizes visual information, demonstrating how easily our perception can be deceived by clever arrangement of simple geometric shapes.



Here's a hint:
Once you see it, you can't unsee.
Concentrate on the Vertical lines between the boxes, the circle is in the center of those lines.

I could not see the circles until I enlarged the photo!

"Gathering Courage Every Single Day"

When you learn that it's about what's inside of you, 
instead of what's outside of you, 
THEN YOU'VE GOT POWER"!!
Strength is not on the outside.
When you have strength in here, 
that's when you've got the power.

Meryl Streep Shares "A Momentous Moment"


This is me coming home from an audition for King Kong where I was told I was too 'ugly' for the role. It was a momentous moment for me.

That ill-intentioned opinion could have shattered my dreams of becoming an actress or forced me to pull myself together and believe in myself.

I took a breath and said, 'I'm sorry you think I'm too ugly for your movie but yours is just an opinion out of thousands.'

To this day, I have 18 Oscar nominations.

Riddle of the Month


 
Ready for a tidal wave of confusion?
Use your super sleuth skills to solve the viral
"There's a woman in a boat" riddle.


Our phones offer endless forms of entertainment and education, and what better way to fill a few minutes of free time and exercise your brain than a simple riddle? There’s one viral brain teaser that has people staring blankly at their screens wondering if they need a second cup of coffee to activate those cognitive skills. The viral “There’s a woman in a boat” riddle is a popular puzzle that has people who can typically solve hard riddles super stumped.

Unlike many riddles that challenge your smarts, this head-scratcher becomes a bit more simple when you see that the answer is in the riddle. While some riddles (like “If I had four eggs…”) test your math skills, the “There’s a woman in a boat” riddle is more of a mystery to your cranium’s creativity. Good luck!

There is a woman in a boat, on a lake, wearing a coat. If you want to know her name, it’s in the riddle I just wrote. What’s her name?

The Hint
Read the riddle a few times, and the answer will appear. It’s not a long riddle, so you can look at it in small parts. Focus on the beginning of the riddle. Don’t overthink the teaser. The woman’s name is not a common one and could be replaced with your name or your best friend’s name.

The Answer
“There” is the woman’s name.
“There’s a woman in a boat” riddle revealed

The Viral
“There’s a woman in a boat” riddle achieves the primary goal of a good short riddle: It leaves you confused and hunting for the solution in places that take you further away from the answer. While “There” is not a traditional moniker, it serves the purpose of having you swimming for answers in faraway waters. Once you figure out the riddle, it seems super silly, but you’ll probably ask a few friends to try to solve it.

Did you enjoy this riddle? If so, you’ll love our other viral riddles and brain teasers. And if you really want to give your brain a workout, try our more challenging riddles.
