Robin Williams and his daughter, Zelda Williams, who together starred in official Nintendo commercials and shared a well-known passion for The Legend of Zelda franchise....
Robin Williams and his family were avid fans of the original The Legend of Zelda (released in North America in 1987), inspiring them to name his daughter Zelda Williams (born in 1989).
Robin and Zelda teamed up with Nintendo to star in promotional video ads for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D and other titles in the series.
. . . .
The Legend of Zelda first came out in Japan in 1986 and reached North America in 1987 on the Nintendo Entertainment System. It became one of the best-selling games of its era and launched one of the most famous franchises in video game history.
Williams was a lifelong gamer. He played everything from Zelda to Call of Duty and World of Warcraft, and he often said games were a way he connected with his kids.
His daughter, Zelda Williams, was born in 1989. She has since become an actor and director, making her feature directing debut with the 2024 horror comedy “Lisa Frankenstein.”
Robin Williams died in 2014, at the age of 63.
After his death, fans started an online petition asking Nintendo to honor him with a character in a future Zelda game. It gathered hundreds of thousands of signatures. Nintendo never officially confirmed a tribute, which is why the Breath of the Wild lookalike remains a fan theory.

为什么全世界至今没有出现过一个真正的时间旅行者，
物理学上的答案可能比科幻小说残酷得多😭
大家默认以为的时间旅行，是坐在时光机里拨动表盘回到一年前的同一间卧室、同一条街道，觉得时间跨越只是一个单纯的时间轴位移问题。
但宇宙里根本不存在一个静止不动的空间锚点，
教科书总把地球画成一个封闭绕日画圆的平静圆环，
事实是在整整 45 亿年里，地球在宇宙深空之中从来没有回到过同一个坐标点。
太阳正以每秒 230 公里也就是每小时 82.8 万公里的惊人速度，
拖着整个太阳系在银河系中狂奔，哪怕只穿梭 80 秒，
原本的位置就已经狂甩出 1.8 万公里。
更要命的是太阳系相对于银道面倾斜了整整 60.2 度，
每隔大约 3000 万年还要在银河盘上下摆动一次，
地球在深空划出的不是闭合圆圈，而是一条永不回头的巨大三维螺旋。
太阳上一次经过今天这个宇宙绝对坐标点，
已经是 2.3 亿年前最早的恐龙刚在陆地上冒头的年代，
整个太阳系从诞生至今其实才刚刚跑完了 20 圈。
这意味着任何试图跨越时间的人，如果算力只解算时间却漏算了宇宙坐标的相对位移，
他跳出机器的那一瞬间，迎接他的绝不是故乡的土地，而是零下 270 度的绝对虚空，
所以所谓时间旅行在广义相对论框架下依然面临因果律与奇点的理论封锁，
宇宙坐标漂移只是剥掉科幻滤镜后的一个直观物理账本，并不代表算准了坐标就能真的造出时光机。
毕竟最硬的科学规律从来不迁就人类浪漫的童话，我们在时间的长河里迈出一步，宇宙就会立刻把我们的立足之地甩到数亿公里之外去
Damn！ 课本骗了我们很多年，地球在过去 45 亿年里，其实一秒钟都没有回到过宇宙中同一个物理位置😭😭
所以大家别再为你当下那点破事抓狂内耗了，深呼吸一口气，你的人生正在以宇宙级的速度，把所有的糟糕与遗憾永远甩在身后🌌
很多人从小被灌输的记忆，就是一个静态平面的太阳系：
几颗小球规规矩矩地沿着封闭圆环一圈圈打转，周而复始，像极了我们每天在工位和房间之间两点一线的死循环。
在那种逼仄的平面视角里，生活里哪怕一丁点鸡毛蒜皮的受挫、被身边傻乎乎的人恶心一下、或者某个项目搞砸了，都会被无限放大成天塌下来的末日。
但真实的宇宙运动极其狂暴且壮丽。
太阳系整体正倾斜 60.2 度飞驰在银河平面上，带着地球以每秒 230 公里的惊人速度疯狂向前狂奔。
每过三千万年它还在星系盘上下剧烈振荡，我们脚下的真实轨迹根本不是原地打转的圆环，而是一条在深空里永远向前延伸、永不闭合的开放三维螺旋线。
一个银河年要足足两亿三千万年。
上一次太阳系肉身穿过今天这片宇宙坐标的时候，地球上的恐龙才刚刚破壳冒头，
太阳诞生了 46 亿年，漫长到足以吞噬所有文明兴衰的时间，放在银河尺度下，也才堪堪跑了 20 圈而已。
最狠的是这种物理现实对日常焦虑的彻底粉碎。
我们现在脚踩的这颗蓝色水球，正以每小时 900 英里的速度自转，以每秒 19 英里的速度绕日公转，在横跨十万光年、拥有一千亿颗恒星的银河系外旋臂上高速漂移。

They found a torture chamber in Kyiv, Ukraine today where the AFU held 40+ men (including a 14 year old) and beat them, starved them, and possibly raped them for an unknown amount of time.
I feel like this should be bigger news...

Xennials. We are Xennials. The end of Gen X and the beginning the Millennials. We are in our 40s and think we are still 20, which is a problem when your back randomly locks up. We can name most songs from the 80s to about 10 yrs ago. We still think the 80s was only 20 yrs ago.

Según Tolkien, la forma más fácil de desperdiciar tu vida es mantenerte al día con la política y las noticias.
Él creía que la sociedad moderna estaba empezando a confundir la “información” con sabiduría y verdadero conocimiento.
Decía que eso podía hacerte sentir y parecer inteligente pero que no mejora en nada tu vida. Sin embargo la literatura, el arte y la filosofía quizá no te mantengan informado del día a día pero sí que te harán más inteligente y mucho más sabio.
Y yo no podría estar mas de acuerdo con él.
En un mundo donde nuestros gobernantes se preocupan mas de llenar sus bolsillos que de proteger las vidas de su pueblo, lo mas prudente que uno puede hacer es no darles ni un segundo de nuestro pensamiento.
Como siempre, Tolkien estaba avanzado a su tiempo.

This attribution is unsupported. In a 1966 interview, Tolkien said he read newspapers daily and took “a strong interest in what is going on” in the world—contrary to the post’s claim.

In 1986, Michael Morton was convicted of murdering his wife, a crime he insisted he never committed. For the next 25 years, he remained behind bars, fighting to prove his innocence.
In 2011, DNA evidence finally revealed the truth, clearing Morton of the murder and helping identify the actual killer. This emotional courtroom footage captures the moment a judge officially exonerated him after more than two decades of wrongful imprisonment.
Over those 25 years, Morton lost his freedom, precious time with his son, and countless moments he could never get back. Overwhelmed by the decision, he broke down in tears beside his attorney.
Justice had finally been served, but it came 25 years too late.

While the text in this post is true, the video is the Oct. 2018 acquittal of Daniel Villegas who, after being imprisoned since 1995, proved on appeal his statements at age 16 had been coerced & he had ineffective counsel.

🚨 EDWARD SNOWDEN’S CHILLING WARNING IS NOW UNFOLDING IN REAL TIME
What China built… is exactly what Western governments are quietly preparing for.
Snowden is crystal clear:
Every photo, every purchase, every message, every movement — all of it is being fed into algorithms that decide your future.
In China, AI “city brains” now track:
Where you live
Who you visit
How you dispose of your rubbish
Every step you take in public
Whether you “follow rules” or not
Break a rule?
A camera catches you from three angles.
Your score drops.
Your life collapses.
Snowden’s warning:
“If any of your activities differ from what the government wants, you won’t get on a train.
You won’t board a plane.
You won’t get a job.
An algorithm will decide your fate.
And what they are selling… is us.”
This is not a future threat.
It is happening now — in Shanghai, in Beijing… and creeping into the West through digital ID, AI policing, and “misinformation scoring.”
China built the prototype.
Our governments are importing the blueprint.
Stay informed.
Stay alert.
Do not let this system take root.

The trick to being a charismatic adult is to act like a 5-year-old.
Always say hello/goodbye to people you know, and just act like everyone is already your friend.

Michael Pollan reveals how the introduction of caffeine completely changed human history and consciousness.
"Before caffeine, it was a very different world and a very different consciousness. People were drunk a lot of the time, buzzed almost all of the time because it was safer than water"
"Water was really how you got diseases. If you fermented things, even low alcohol, it killed a lot of the microbes. So people, even kids, drank hard cider for breakfast"
"Tea, chocolate, and coffee all arrive in the same decade in England, and things start to change... no one ate or drank boiling water or hot beverages before"
"Boiling it made it much safer. This gave this incredible public health boost to these places, and then you have the drug that fosters a kind of more linear, rational, focused way of thinking"
"People in the 1600s started writing about it saying, 'Wow, we have this new civil and sober drink that we can use.' And that, I think, makes possible things like the Industrial Revolution"
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The clip repeats the myth that pre-caffeine people were mostly drunk because water was unsafe. Historians and medieval sources show water was commonly drunk from wells/springs while weak ale provided nutrition/calories, not a substitute for bad water.
