It feels like mass culture died and was replaced with viral meme culture, but viral meme culture also died and was replaced with heavenbanning -- communal human culture is now just totally dead and everyone is consuming a personalized feed of algorithmic slop. Is that true? Related

This is interesting. You get assigned to being born at a random place and time in history, to see what a typical person's life might have been like then. Unfortunately I was born in 1403 in the valley of Mexico and died at age 4 from dysentery. Related

When Thompson died they shot his ashes out of a cannon (per his request) It cost Johnny Depp $5 million Quoting @essa_muse Hunter S. Thompson refused to come to the studio. The only way Conan could get him on the show was to meet him on a farm in upstate New York. To shoot guns. And drink hard liquor. They set up a full bar in a field. A bartender in a tuxedo handed Hunter a shotgun he’d never fired. Then an M60. They… Related

Apple's market cap was about $351–360 billion when Steve Jobs died. On September 1, 2026, Tim Cook's last day as CEO, it was $4.75 trillion. When Ballmer handed over to Satya Nadella in Feb 2014, Microsoft market cap was about $315B. It’s $3.7 trillion now. Similar outcome with Sam Walton and Wal-Mart. It went the other way with GE and Jack Welch. So, it cuts both ways, and I think the deciding factor is whether the underlying business quality, moat, and capital-allocation discipline survive the transition intact. Quoting @menakadoshi The events at HDFC Bank confirm two of my worst suspicions. One, celebrity founders and CEOs often leave behind a leadership vacuum. As the adage goes, nothing grows under a banyan tree. India is witnessing that more frequently as part of the great handover from post-liberalization leaders to the n… Related

Heartbroken to hear my friend Sir Billy Boston has died. Billy was one of the greatest Rugby League players of all time but also one of the kindest and most down-to-earth people you could ever wish to meet. He always had time for people and gave so much to back to his adopted home, Wigan. I will miss him greatly and am thinking today of Billy’s family, still grieving the recent loss of his beloved wife Joan. A giant of a man in every way. Thank you, Billy, and rest in peace. Related

Tore a hole in my tire on a bump today. Only thing on hand: a sticker I made for Yves. Stuck it inside the tire and rode home on it. Yves died last year from cancer. Today his sticker saved my ride. Weirdest place I ever pictured one of his stickers ending up. 💫 🚴♂️⚡ Related

Their words
Now, nobody died, right? Uh in fact, not only did nobody die, nobody was injured and there was no radiation dose to the public. But, uh it was sort of a optics and PR situation um that was mismanaged in many many different ways and the public uh became fearful and and lost interest in nuclear.

Man. What a week! Started on a high on the weekend with doing good progress on a secret project and on Monday at work as well. Tuesday, still good progress but also had a quick shocker as a friend didn't answer their phone for 3 hours and we thought something happened to them. And today started with getting the notice that a friend from the local gym died after their cancer returned. 😭 And the whole world politics definitely starts to pull me down more and more. Can't wait for Saturday! Related

Someone recommended this book after my brother passed away. I didn’t want to read a bunch of books about grief, but this one struck a chord. I wish I had read it before he died.

Palaeontologist at Queen Mary University of London; studies dinosaur behaviour and writes about what the fossil record can and cannot tell us.
Their words
So birds did not appear as a result of the dinosaurs going extinct. Birds lived alongside the dinosaurs for 100 million years. The birds were not new on the scene, and it's not like, "Oh, the dinosaurs died, and from the ashes rose the birds." No, they've been knocking around forever.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
