this vine is one year old but everything about this is art. the camera rotates a full 180 degrees around a point. the child in the background misses an easy basketball shot then gets hit in the face in the face with a basketball. the fact that this kids name is semi. the fucking beat is three notes and semi kills that shit with one of the hottest bars dropped in this decade. ‘money add then multiply’ means that semi knows his fuckin shit but he doesnt know how to say mathematics. put this fucking vine on a cd so it can be looped by aliens 3000 years in the future
you missed the kid’s genius - he can spell mathematics, he goes an extra step, it’s (M)oney (A)dd (Th)en (M)ultiply, I call that MATHM-Mathematics
this post never dies and you know what? i hope it never does. long live Semi the King.
When my cousin Olivia was three, she started preschool and became best friends with a boy named Abraham. Most people called him Abe, even then, because Abraham is a mouthful for a three year old and, to most people, it’s the logical nickname.
Not, however, according to Olivia, who decided to nickname him Ham.
No one’s really sure whether she wasn’t totally listening when he was introduced and only caught the last part of his name, or if she decided Abe was too boring a nickname, or maybe she was just hungry, but the nickname has stuck for the last twenty years. Of course, Olivia was and still is the only person to use it.
When they were seven or eight, he decided to get back at her by calling her Olive. That nickname stuck, too, and they’ve been Olive and Ham since. But only to each other. They get highly offended if anyone else calls them that.
Last night was their seventh anniversary, and Abe proposed to Olivia, and she said yes. And how did she announce it on Facebook, you may ask?
People used to tell me “If you like ham so much, why don’t you just marry it?” So I am.
Shout out to Olive and Ham, who are still engaged and adorable and who are planning on getting married sometime next summer
It’s really not a “gen z are funnier than millennials” thing it’s just that high schoolers are consistently the funniest people alive no matter what year it is
I just saw a video of Britney Spears tearing apart a group of men who called her body guard the n word. He had to hold her back because her knee jerk reaction was to maul them like a mama bear on the loose. And then she walks away while holding a comforting hand on his back.
I’ll never not stan her. Catch me playing Lucky at my funeral bitch.

Fifty-four years after it was sold by looters,
an ancient Maya pictographic text was judged authentic by scholars Thursday.
Mexico’s National Institute of History and
Anthropology said the calendar-style text was made between 1021 and 1154 A.D.
and is the oldest known pre-Hispanic document.
The 10 surviving pages of the tree-bark
folding “book” will now be known as the Mexico Maya Codex. It had
been known as the Grolier Codex. It may have originally had 20 pages, but some
were lost after centuries in a cave in southern Chiapas state.

It contains a series of observations and
predictions related to the astral movement of Venus. Mayan texts are written in
a series of syllabic glyphs, in which a stylized painted figure often stands
for a syllable.
A Mexican collector bought it in 1964, and it
was first exhibited at the Grolier Club in New York in 1971.
Collector Josue Saenz returned the book to
Mexican authorities in 1974.
The fact that it was looted and had a simpler
design than other surviving texts had led some to doubt its authenticity.
“Its style differs from other Maya codex
that are known and proven authentic,” the institute said in a statement.
About three other later Maya “books” survived an attempt by Spanish
conquerors to destroy Mayan artifacts in the 1500s.
Chemical tests
But the institute said Thursday that because
the book was written so early, it had been created in an era of relative
poverty compared to the other works. It said a series of chemical tests proved
the authenticity of the pages and the pre-Hispanic inks used to write it.

While previous studies had supported the
authenticity of the text, it was the end of decades of doubts for the book.
“For a long time,
critics of the codex said the style wasn’t Mayan and that it was ‘the ugliest’
of them in terms of figures and colour,” said institute researcher Sofia
Martinez del Campo. “But the austerity of the work is explained by its
epoch, when things are scarce one uses what one has at hand.”
