It’s been 20 years since “Me at the Zoo” was uploaded.
Two decades ago, YouTube wasn’t about the elaborate long-form content pumped out by creators like MrBeast. There wasn’t any fancy lighting, sound effects, or jump cuts.
The platform’s first video, “Me at the Zoo,” was uploaded to YouTube on April 23rd, 2005. It’s a mere 19 seconds long, featuring YouTube co-founder Jawed Karim standing in front of a pair of elephants at the San Diego Zoo.
“Alright, so here we are, in front of the elephants,” Karim says, while glancing back at the elephants. The video offers a brief glimpse of one wrapping hay around its trunk and placing it in its mouth. “The cool thing about these guys is that they have really, really, really long um… trunks, and that’s cool,” Karim says, gest
"You just pat them in the wrong way, they take it sexually inappropriately. That’s marriage," Neil Parrott, then a state lawmaker, said in 2022.
A Republican U.S. House candidate in Maryland repeatedly opposed a state law to remove marriage as a defense for certain classes of rape and sexual assault, stating that under such legislation, “You just pat them in the wrong way, they take it sexually inappropriately.”
Neil Parrott, who served in the Maryland House of Delegates for 12 years, is running for a third time for the 6th Congressional District. Parrott and Democrat April McClain Delaney are vying for the Western Maryland House seat vacated by Rep. David Trone, who unsuccessfully ran in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate.
In 2020, 2021 and 2022, Parrott was consistently among the small group of lawmakers who voted

This story first appeared in Indian Country Today. “Mission accomplished,” wrote Jerry Jondreau on his Facebook page.

Elders and members of the Bay Mills Indian Community welcomed home the set of four scrolls — used by Ojibwe peoples to record historical and religious information – on Tuesday with ceremony and dignity, and at least a few tears. […] “In Western culture, they say a picture says a thousand words. But for Ojibwe, a picture has thousands of years of meaning,” [organizer Jerry] Jondreau told ICT.
The scrolls had been set for auction at Cottone Auctions based in New York on behalf of a private collector. Jondreau helped organize an effort via social media to purchase the scrolls at a public internet auction, r

Tesla worker injured by robot that 'pinned' him to wall with its claws at car company's Texas factory
The engineer left a "trail of blood" when he escaped from the robot's claws, according to reports from a witness at the Tesla giga factory in Texas.

Arise, chikun! Litecoin's 12th Birthday today, celebrating 180,000,000 txs and the longest uninterrupted uptime in all of crypto.

Just a few months ago, Litecoin also became the first crypto in history to exceed Bitcoin's monthly transaction share on the oldest crypto payment processor, Bitpay. This particular milestone was short-lived, for now. But even after dropping a little off the transaction share highs this summer, it still has more share than all other altcoins on bitpay combined, also something I've never seen any other alt on bitpay come close to.
In June 2023, Litecoin became the first altcoin to best BTC at Bitpay
