Hudson Williams features in Balenciaga’s first Brand ambassadors and... Friends of the House campaign entitled ‘Heart and Body’ “I chose individuals, not characters. Human beings with distinct stories, faces marked by experience, vulnerability, and nuance. I was not looking for constructed personas, but for real presence. At the center of Summer 26 is the creation of a new community — different, yet connected by shared values: respect, sensitivity, strength, freedom. Not sameness, but resonance.” - Pierpaolo Picciolishow more

A lot of our rescues are urgent, but this... sweet little boy was in a league of his own. We found him with a severe neck injury from a piece of string that had been digging into him, but he was so incredibly terrified of humans that he actually escaped down a hole to hide. It took 36 long hours and the help of a kind local boy to finally bring him to safety, but we were never going to leave him behind. Today, that terrible pain has finally been lifted. He is still very nervous, but he is starting to slowly open his heart to our team a little more each day. The bravest little survivor is finally in safe hands.show more

House of Neptune (1st Century AD) in Herculaneum :... The association between Herculaneum and Mount Vesuvius goes way back to 79 AD, where the fateful eruption of volcano smothered this town under pyroclastic material. However, Herculaneum unlike Pompeii, was not hit by rain of ash and lapilli. But only by a very powerful pyroclastic flow and mudslide that completely covered Herculaneum with more than 20m of volcanic material. While this event was tragic, no doubt, it led to unintended consequence of preserving houses, mosaics and other artifacts remarkably under volcanic debris. In 1738 AD, during excavation of a well by a farmer, was first remains of ancient city accidentally found. Among these ruins was discovered House of Neptune, a relatively small yet ornately decorated dwelling that’s believed to be owned by a sea merchant. It is best known for mosaic depicting Neptune, Roman sea god and his sea-nymph wife, Amphitrite. House of Neptune and Amphitrite of Herculaneum is located in insula V. Exactly opposite entrance to female section of Stabian baths, in formerly busiest street in Herculaneum. Compared to other houses in Herculaneum, House of Neptune was not very big in size. Besides a shop and a couple of rooms, most interesting aspect of house is open-air courtyard. Dining room adjacent to courtyard is also small and has red walls. Frescoes that adorned its insides are now in Archeological Museum of Naples. Dining room and a few other rooms were connected to a mid-sized atrium. One noteworthy feature of atrium is presence of a shrine in corner, called lararium. Some remnants of lararium are now part of Naples Archeological Museum. The few rooms in second floor of house also contain inscriptions and paintings that reflect taste and of the owner and lives of its occupants. House of Neptune and Amphitrite of Herculaneum probably belonged to a wealthy merchant. In fact, on lower floor of house with direct access to the street there was a shop. Inside which a counter used for making food and drink, a small kitchen and perfectly preserved wooden mezzanine floor, still visible today, were found, which served to reach upper floor and in which there was a shelf that was probably used to store amphorae containing wine. The very end of the house features an open-topped courtyard with an artificial grotto and a fountain, or Nymphaeum. Entire courtyard features garden paintings. Later, when an aqueduct was introduced, they redirected it to a cistern in courtyard. This cistern was also decorated with blue mosaic chips. Courtyard is positioned in such a way that a visitor has a clear and direct view of it even before entering the house. The owner wanted to give impression of a courtyard-cum garden in limited space available, so there are frescoes within that depict flowering plants and fountains. Most probably the place where owner spent their moments of relaxation, enjoying coolness of evening. In the centre of summer triclinium was a marble basin with a fountain from which water spurted in ancient times. On central wall was created a marvellous mosaic, from which entire house takes its name, depicting Neptune and Amphitrite. The mosaic, adorned all around with a frame of sea shells, was made of glass paste in brilliant colours, depicting Neptune and Amphitrite. The rest of triclinium was frescoed with scenes depicting a garden with plants, birds and fountains, to give those inside the triclinium the feeling of being in an outdoor garden. In the centre of summer triclinic of house of Neptune and Amphitrite, fountain was supplied with water from a tank on north side of triclinic. Tank was concealed by a structure with three niches, where in central niche there was a small statue. Entire structure was covered with glass paste mosaic depicting hunting scenes in upper part and a garden with plants and birds in lower part. 🎥© massimo_osamna (IG) #archaeohistoriesshow more

Yesterday, at the conclusion of the meeting with members... of the U.S. House of Representatives, the Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Rep. Brian Mast, presented María Corina Machado with the flag of the United States that was raised and flown throughout the day at the U.S. Capitol, with its 50 stars and 13 stripes, as a gesture of support and solidarity. This symbol, of great significance and honor, is presented in accordance with official protocol during visits by special guests. It was a deeply moving moment of fraternity between the peoples of the United States and Venezuela, and a reaffirmation that we have strong allies who will stand with us in the reconstruction of our country. We have no doubt that Venezuela will become the most prosperous and secure partner of the United States and of the entire hemisphere. 🇺🇸🤝🏼🇻🇪 House Foreign Affairs Committee Majority.show more

Good morning to everyone in Massachusetts who now sees... that there is hope in our state. The Charlie Kirk Vigil at Boston Common last night brought together so many patriots, united in prayer, strength, and determination for change. Thank you to every single person who showed up. You reminded us that we are not alone. One of the most inspiring parts of the night was hearing from the young speakers who talked about the impact Charlie had on their lives and why they feel called to get involved. Their words were powerful and showed that the next generation is ready to carry this mission forward. But this is just the beginning. We need to take that same energy back to our towns, our schools, and our communities. Get involved, speak up, and be part of the movement for a better Massachusetts. This is exactly what Charlie would have wanted. Not just a moment of mourning, but a spark that ignites real action. Together, we can honor his legacy by standing up for our values and shaping the future of our state.show more

The other day on Brother Counsel's debate with Dave... Aronberg we saw how dangerous it can be when clowns attain state sanctioned power. He didn't know any of the facts, didn't care about any of the expert testimony, and baselessly said that Karen Read was acquitted due to jury nullification. But what I thought was most ridiculous was when he said there was no probable cause to search Brian Albert's house, despite the fact that John O'Keefe was invited there and was found dead on Albert's lawn. I know how ridiculous that is because Brian Tully got a judge to sign a search warrant for my house, and the probable cause was that I did a YouTube show in my house, and supposedly there would be more witness intimidation inside the house, as if it's a bloody knife or DNA. If there was just a dead cop on my lawn they'd leave me alone. The police searched every inch of my house and took over 300 pictures. I want to show you all the witness intimidation they found:show more

I had a meeting with Ulf Kristersson Ulf Kristersson.... A detailed conversation on all key issues, with special attention to security in the region and on NATO’s eastern flank, as well as support for Ukraine and our defense now. We also touched upon the further development of the PURL initiative, contacts with partners, and joint diplomatic efforts. The issue of frozen Russian assets was discussed as well. Formats for decisions have already been worked out – it is crucial to implement them. It is important that we are building up our joint strength and working together to protect lives. 🇺🇦 🇸🇪show more

Almost 30 years ago my parents moved their young... family oversees to help support pastors starting churches. They moved half way across the world and found themselves without a pastor to support. The church in this area was almost nowhere to be found. Rituals replaced relationships and the need for pastors was huge. So Mom and Dad decided to do what they said they wouldn’t do, they started a church. It was just our family at first. Felt kinda silly if I’m being honest. Just the five of us in our living room. “Why move across the world for this?” We wondered. Then, as we built relationships, the church began to grow. It was slow at first. It was also hard and lonely. But Dad was bent on building something that would train leaders and would grow without him. He always said our job was to work ourselves out of a job. The goal was to leave the leadership in the hands of the people there as quickly as possible. My parents had to move back to the States rather suddenly a few years ago after my Mom suffered a major stroke during a serious illness. The church was strong and Dad spent years discipline and training leaders. Yet, it was still sudden. We wondered, Would the church continue growing without them or begin to dwindle? Recently I decided to go back home to Northern Chile with my 3 kids to see how the church my parents started in our living room was doing. And look what I found! It’s a church of well over 500 but that’s not the impressive part. The church has planted 11 other churches, runs two children’s homes, a rehab center, a seminary training hundreds of pastors, and sends people all over the world to work in ministry. It’s been a rock in the community during earthquakes, tidal waves and civil unrest. I was able to return home and tell Dad, “Dad, your church sends their greetings”show more

Replit, Vercel, and OpenAI have built very cool agent-native... applications, but nobody else has passed the demo stage. Building agents that work is complex. Teams aren't shipping agents because we don't have good tooling yet (and most of us don't know how to do this well.) A couple of days ago, the CopilotKit🪁 team announced a collaboration with . You can now use LangGraph with CoAgents to build agent-native applications, and here is everything you need to know about that: CoAgents is fully open-source, and you can use it to do the following: • Human-in-the-loop to steer and correct the agent • Stream intermediate agent state • Real-time state sharing between the agent and the application • Agentic generative UI to build trust that the agent is on the right path Start this GitHub Repository: Thanks to the team for giving me early access and collaborating with me on this post.show more

Big news! Today we are announcing that Shopify is... acquiring the Threads team. There are a million feelings and thoughts from this journey, but nothing more than gratitude to all of our users and customers for building with us, my colleagues (both current and former) for making all of this possible, our investors, especially Mike Vernal, Elad Gil, Avichal - Electric ϟ Capital, and Jessica Verrilli for their unwavering support and guidance, and all of our friends and family who put up with the late nights, canceled plans, and the general roller coaster that is startup life. To our customers and users who have been asking, here’s how we got here: The past several months have been some of the most interesting and intense of my life. It all started with the rise of Instagram Threads, which presented us with the opportunity to sell our domains. Around the same time, a handful of companies approached us, wondering if we would be open to an acquisition. When this happened in the past, we would politely decline. However, this time, things were different. We weren't that excited about the time it would take to invest in a rebrand, and with mind-warping technological advances now being a commodity, we were excited about joining a place where we could tinker at scale. Each company we chatted with was incredible. However, what ultimately led us to choose Shopify over others was their culture; two distinct things in particular: 1) Craft-obsessed. Their obsession with not just building the right thing, but also building it the right way is inspiring. Sacrifice shows priority, and hearing stories about some of the hard decisions they made to ensure that what they ship is robust, scalable, and trustworthy, even at the cost of short-term metric gains, really proved that their obsession with craft was much more than a feel-good slogan. Their discussions and decisions have me truly believing they're going to be around for 100 years. 2) For entrepreneurs, by entrepreneurs. Just about every product and engineering leader I met was an ex-founder who grinded for years to turn nothing into something. They all still had that air of resilience, obsession with the details at every part of the stack, and a compelling vision of the future for whatever they were working on. Threads leadership is also made up of ex-founders, so the entrepreneurial focus at Shopify made it clear that it would be the best environment for us to grow and thrive. Very excited for this next chapter with the team and grateful for all of the support we’ve received over the years from those who believed in us. As always, thanks for (th) reading.show more
