Some news: after four wonderful years at UC Berkeley... Haas, I'm heading to Columbia Business School this fall as an assistant professor in the Decision, Risk, and Operations Division. I'm incredibly excited to be joining a division full of brilliant colleagues studying marketplace design, online platforms, business analytics, and data-driven decision-making -- topics that perfectly complement my own research. And I can't wait to re-embrace NYC life – pizza at all hours of the day, grimy music venues in Bushwick, and a robust public transit system! At the same time, I'm also sad to be leaving Berkeley. Haas has been the perfect place to launch my academic career. The brilliant colleagues, engaged students, and collaborative atmosphere here have helped me grow as both a researcher and teacher over the past four years. I'll also deeply miss the Bay Area's amazing nature and weather, as well as its unique blend of innovation and idealism. When I joined Haas, I announced it with a cameo from Chris Diamantopoulos (AKA Silicon Valley's Russ Hanneman). I considered doing the same now—maybe getting Eric Adams, Jalen Brunson or James Murphy for a proper NYC welcome—but the timing feels off. As excited as I am about my new job, this career move comes at a complex time when universities across the US, including Columbia, are navigating challenging tensions between government pressures and academic independence. I believe in the importance of maintaining both institutional autonomy and protecting all members of our academic communities. Despite the challenges at hand, I remain hopeful about Columbia's future and its enduring mission. As Columbia's motto reminds us, "in lumine tuo videbimus lumen" — "In your light we shall see light" — suggesting that through education and collective wisdom, we find illumination and a path forward. I'm excited to join this historic institution during a pivotal moment and to contribute to Columbia's long tradition of creating positive change through knowledge and research. See you in New York! 🗽show more

From an ordinary man to a celestial warrior, this... cinematic transformation. Created with Seedance 2.0 on Lart AI . Unreal visuals, smooth motion, and movie-quality storytelling. Try yours here 👇 Prompt: Duration: 10 seconds Style: Ultra-cinematic, photorealistic IMAX realism, continuous single shot, no cuts. --- Character & Setup Use Image as the identity reference. Preserve the exact facial identity, facial structure, hairstyle, skin tone, and proportions throughout the entire sequence. His face is bruised with a small streak of blood at the corner of his mouth. He looks exhausted after battle. During the transformation, he shows restrained pain with only a slight frown—no exaggerated screaming. Armor design is inspired by image2. His clothing is battle-damaged, torn, dusty, and partially burned. In his right hand he tightly grips a glowing Holy Ring Crystal Core radiating intense white-blue divine energy. Environment Apocalyptic Jakarta under a dark overcast sky. Ruined skyscrapers, burning buildings, drifting ash, smoke, flying debris, distant fires, and flaming meteors crossing the sky. Cold grey-blue cinematic color palette with dramatic atmosphere. Visual Style Photorealistic cinematic realism, IMAX-quality visuals, 35mm Panavision lens, handheld camera with subtle breathing movement, compressed shadows, highly detailed textures, slight edge softness, natural film grain, grounded realism. Thousands of glowing feathers physically assemble the armor with a powerful divine aura, combining biological pain with advanced alien technology. --- 0–2.5s — Fall The hero crashes violently into broken concrete and rubble, creating a powerful dust explosion. The handheld camera shakes from the impact. He slowly rises to one knee, breathing heavily while staring at the glowing Holy Ring Crystal Core in his right hand. 2.5–5s — Awakening He quietly whispers, "Berubah!", then crushes the crystal. A blinding white-blue beam erupts into the sky. Thousands of glowing feathers materialize and spiral around him. They wrap around his arm, chest, and entire body. His eyes become pure white as a faint golden halo symbol briefly appears behind him. 5–7.5s — Transformation Sacred energy explodes outward. White smoke, golden sparks, and streams of blue energy surround him. Feather light solidifies into mechanical armor components that rapidly lock onto his torso, arms, legs, and shoulders with satisfying metallic clicks. The camera circles smoothly around him during the transformation. 7.5–10s — Completion The transformation completes into magnificent white-platinum armor with pearl-like metallic surfaces, elegant golden engravings, and glowing blue energy flowing through every armor seam. Massive mechanical angel wings unfold dramatically, scattering thousands of glowing feathers. A radiant halo appears behind him while a transparent energy helmet forms over his face. Two blazing holy energy blades materialize in his hands. The camera pulls back to a low-angle full-body shot as divine energy lifts rocks and debris into the air. In the final second, the armored angel launches straight upward at incredible speed, blasting out of frame as the camera violently shakes from the shockwave.show more

Trump is initiating the ground offensive (boots on the... ground) and orders have been given to the 82nd Airborne for deployment in Iran, despite saying the “war is over, and won”. 🚨🚨🚨⚠️⚠️⚠️ It’s now OFFICIALLY another endless “boots on the ground” war just like Iraq and Afghanistan before it, which ultimately benefits Israel. Our soldiers are being sent over to Iran to be slaughtered in spectacular fashion by Iranian drones and missiles, which will be waiting for them. For those who say “it’s not long term” or “it’s only 3,000 troops” this is ALWAYS how it starts. Iran will take this incursion VERY seriously, and the opposition will be FIERCE. Boots on the ground TOTALLY changes the dynamic of this conflict, as has been warned about many times by multiple military strategists. Even Trump’s own generals have STRONGLY warned against doing this. Sending our troops into a mountainous and extremely challenging landscape is a suicide mission. Iran has been training and planning for this moment for over 20 years. They have even run war games simulating exactly this scenario, and studying how the U.S. fights. Make NO mistake, this will turn into exactly what they want it to be…A very long, very bloody war of attrition which is meant to be SUSTAINED until full “regime change” happens for Israel, and in which we are at a grave disadvantage. Similar to Vietnam, Iran will fight as long as it takes, and sustain as many casualties as they can because it’s seen as honorable “martyrdom”. Trump said multiple times he would NEVER do this, campaigned AGAINST IT and he BALD FACED LIED. He has even said multiple times that the “war is over, and we won”. This will cause the gas prices to go through the roof like we have never seen before, as it’s very likely that Iran will completely shut down the Strait of Hormuz. Get ready for $10/gal gas or even higher, as well as energy lockdowns. It’s NO WONDER why Trump’s latest approval is an ABYSMAL 36%. Netanyahu, Pete Hegseth, Rupert Murdoch, and Lindsey Graham must be happier than a pig in shit right now also John McCain is smiling from beyond the grave. Blame them all when you start seeing American flag draped coffins coming home by the dozen, just like we blamed George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and Karl Rove. Welcome to Vietnam 2.0, courtesy of the BETRAYER IN CHIEF Donald J. Trump.show more

Yet another unglued Trump rally in Potterville, Michigan today... that the media won’t cover. Let’s recap it: Donald showed up an hour and 27 minutes late. The workers in the crowd were using their “drill baby drill” signs to fan themselves because they were so hot. Even the news anchors were whining about the heat. A few days after he said that mortagages have gone up “four times,” he now claims they’ve “trippled.” He can’t even keep his lie straight. He had trouble saying “mortgage,” “seen,” “posthumously,” “industry,” and “comrade." He’s crying about Biden sleeping in public on the beach. He’s obsessed with Biden. He’s also not one to talk since he slept through his criminal trial. He said he just did an interview with NBC News backstage. Explains why he was late. He’d rather get airtime than show up on time to his rally while people were overheating. He talked about abortions after birth multiple times. Bro is so disgusting with this lie. He says nobody knows who VP Harris is. Yet he's talking about her. He again proves he doesn’t understand that “Marxism” and “Communism” are different. He claimed the “polls are rigged.” They’re only rigged when he’s losing. He’s cringing that Harris is refusing to sit down for an interview. She already did. It’s airing tonight. He claims “thousands of people” are there. No, they’re not. He ooohs and goos over a “beautiful young daughter” in the crowd. GROSS. 🤮 He calls the United Auto Workers “crazy.” That’s gonna go great for him. 🍿 He claimed we won’t be making cars in the US in 2 years. He’s claiming the reason why he lost Michigan is because “Democrats cheat.” Mkay, old man. All those lawsuits said that’s fake news. He claims that he shouldn't be talking about the building that he owns in San Franscisco. He then says he lost billions of dollars on it. He’s fear mongering about WW3 for about the 2304048th time in 10 years. He’s crying about Democrats talking about him when all he does is whine about Democrats. Stable genius in action. 🙄 He implies he’s being treated worse than Abraham Lincoln, who was killed. OMG. Once again he’s saying that the Presidential Medal of Freedom is better than the Medal of Honor given to our troops. His constant disrespect and contempt for our military is disgusting. He’s pushing the Wuhan lab conspiracy theory again. He’s bragging about his tarriffs saying that he saved jobs by placing tarrifs on China. Not true. He lost jobs, people committeed suicide as a result, and it crushed our economy. He thinks energy prices are called “electrical prices.” He claimed there’s only one oil refinery in the world. Bro’s mind is mashed potatoes. He said “we’re closing down all our plants” and won’t have enough electricity for anything anymore. He said we’re going to have to replace every bridge and all of the roads in the country because how heavy electric batteries are. FFS. I’m pretty sure he said “pork” instead of “torque.” I’m snort laughing. He immediately says other people “are deranged.” Methinks he’s projecting again. His face looks like it’s melting off. Imagine Rudy Giuliani’s hair dye but on Donald’s face. It's bad. He read his name out loud on the teleprompter, “under President Trump.” HAHAHA! He’s back to whining about VP Harris not doing an interview. He knows it’s already been recorded. He thinks that “no tax on tips” will help our retired seniors. Sure, bro. I'm sure 90 year-olds are really gonna be helped by that. He claimed he's gonna make insurance companies pay for IVF (these procedures cost upwards of $50k). I’m pretty sure he’s a) lying b) going to lose some donors over this. He claims he was right about everything. Uh…someone put this guy in a nursing home. He’s delusional. He says VP Harris "doesn’t care about sex slavery” when she literally created a department in California to tackle it. He said she doesn’t care about the cost of food, but he’s also whining about her talking about wanting to go after companies who price gouge. He said nobody wanted Bernie Sanders to be president, not true. I voted for him in the primaries back when. He called Elizabeth Warren “Pocahontas” multiple times. He lied and says that states are deciding whether or not to give sex changes to kids. He calls VP Harris “uncaring.” Hilarious coming from a man who made these people wait for almost 30 minutes in the heat while he did an interview. He’s lying about the incident at Arlington National Cemetery and says that he “doesn’t need the publicity.” He claimed that she failed to prosecute “pedophiles and child abusers” when she was a prosecutor and the AG. Again, she literally created a department to do that. He said she never went to the border. Then he said she went to a place on the border where people would want to have dinner. She said she didn’t speak to anyone when she was there. There’s literally video of her talking to people and touring the border multiple times. He said “I have your back, I have your heart, I have every part of your body.” WHAT THE ACTUAL EFF?!?!?!?!? He may be Hannibal Lecter. He claims that "thougands and thousands" of people, “as far as the eye can see” outside of his tiny little rally. He’s hallucinating, and lying again. He tried to do an accent of a Russian and it sounded like he was plugging his nose. He’s whining about “Critical Race Theory.” I thought MAGA forgot about that. He’s lying again about the biologically female Algerian boxer in the Olympics and called her a man and “a horse.” I hate this man. He’s trying to tell us what’s “demeaning to women.” Not letting us choose what to do with our own bodies is the epitome of “demeaning.” He claims Republicans “love women.” I nearly vomited. He’s crying about President Biden again. He really misses him. He blames COVID for projects he didn’t complete, despite having over 3 years to complete them prior to the pandemic. The last thing he said is that he hopes people vote for him, otherwise “our country is finished.” Gotta love those dog whistles. - Another message for the media: DO YOUR DAMN JOBS AND COVER THIS MAN’S UNHINGED RANTS AND CONSTANT LIES AT HIS RALLIES!!!!!show more

“I’m willing to be accountable… but how dare you... film me cheating on my wife even though I literally signed a media release when I bought these tickets.” The audacity of Andy Byron is hilarious. This Astronomer CEO got caught cuddling his HR chief on the Coldplay kiss cam and immediately dove behind a barrier like he just got caught stealing cookies. Meanwhile the Coldplay singer says, “either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy” while 50,000 people are watching this billion-dollar man panic in real time. What’s wild: this dude runs a billion-dollar company. He’s got employees, investors, a wife, kids depending on him. When you’re operating at that level, you can’t afford to be publicly stupid. Most people chase success because they think it gives them more freedom to do whatever they want. The opposite is true. Success means more people are counting on you to show up as the man you said you were. I work with guys who make serious money, and I have to explain this constantly: money doesn’t make you invisible. It just extends how long you can pretend and makes the fall hurt worse when reality shows up. You can’t build an empire on the outside while being a mess on the inside and expect that to stay hidden forever. Money doesn’t make you invisible. It just extends how long you can pretend and makes the fall hurt worse when reality catches up. This whole Astronomer situation is what happens when men think they can compartmentalize their character. They convince themselves they can be one person at work and another person in their marriage and somehow that house of cards will stand forever. The guys I know who’ve maintained success over decades? They figured out early that their personal and professional lives needed to be congruent. So when something comes out, nobody’s shocked because they already know who you are. This dude is learning the hard way that hiding behind a corporate title and a billion-dollar valuation doesn’t protect you from yourself. The question you should be asking yourself right now: what would happen if everything about how you really operate got exposed tomorrow? Would people be surprised, or would they just nod and say “yeah, that tracks”? Start building the character now that can handle the success you’re chasing. Because the world is watching, cameras are everywhere, and your choices always come home. Are you the man you’ve been pretending to be online?show more

A 92 year old veteran came to court believing... he was about to lose the only home he had left. Walter Reed had served his country decades ago during the Vietnam War. Now he lived alone in the same small house he had owned for most of his life. His wife had passed away years earlier, and no children were around to help him. Time hadn't been kind to the house. The porch had started to fall apart, paint peeled from the walls, and rain slowly made its way through the roof. City inspectors had written several code violations, and the fines had grown into an amount Walter couldn't afford. That morning he arrived in court in a wheelchair. His hands rested on his knees while he listened quietly as the city attorney read the list of problems aloud. Each sentence sounded heavier than the one before it. The attorney explained that the fines were now thousands of dollars. If the money wasn't paid, the city could condemn the house. The place Walter had lived in for decades might soon be taken away. The judge, a 63 year old man known for strict rulings, began to speak. "Mr. Reed, the city is requesting..." He stopped. Walter had lowered his head into his hands. His shoulders started shaking as quiet tears tell into his palms. The entire courtroom slowly went silent. For a moment the judge simply looked at him. The expression on his face softened as he studied the elderly veteran sitting alone in his wheelchair. "We will take a 20 minute recess." The gavel came down and people began whispering softly while the judge stepped away. When the judge returned, something in the courtroom felt different. No one knew what he had done during those 20 minutes. Instead of looking at the attorneys, the judge looked directly at Walter. "Mr. Reed," he said gently. "During the recess I made a few phone calls." The courtroom grew quiet again. "I spoke with the director of our local veterans organization and with the county veterans assistance fund." Walter slowly lifted his head. "All of the fines in this case are dismissed." For a moment Walter didn't react. His face showed pure disbelief, as if the words hadn't fully reached him yet. The judge continued speaking. "A local contractors union has also agreed to repair your home free of charge. They will begin the work next week." This time Walter understood. The tears that followed weren't from fear anymore. His shoulders shook again, but now the emotion came from relief he hadn't expected to feel. The judge then did something that surprised everyone in the room. He stepped down from the bench, walked across the courtroom floor, and stopped beside the wheelchair. He gently wrapped his arms around the old veteran. Walter held onto the judge's robe as if he were afraid the moment might disappear. "I thought nobody would ever listen to me again," he whispered. "They told me to forget it, like it never happened. I've been carrying it for 50 years." The judge kept his arm around him and answered quietly. "I'm listening now. You should not have had to carry that alone." Walter looked up through tears. "You don't have to anymore." People in the courtroom later said they had never witnessed a moment like that inside a courtroom before. For Walter, the place where he expected to lose everything became the place where someone finally decided to stand beside him.show more

Has been a while since I've given an update... so here's a breakdown of where Sappy is at right now and what we're focusing on going into this year. Pre-amble: With altcoins & NFTs the market is definitely not the same as it was before. I think this is obvious to everyone but I've noticed there are still japanese soldiers that are convinced old tricks and mechanics work. They don't. Liquidity is thin; people want to bid assets that feel like "real companies" not vacuous memecoins. There's still room for memecoins, social currencies, and "utility tokens" (I would say without these functions, tokens are hard to justify versus equities). I'm not part of the camp that thinks there will never be hyperspeculation in crypto again, because there will be; we all love ponzis and PvPing each other onchain. Just not with solved games -- people need something new and fresh. So the overarching plan is to continue building for users, sustainable revenues that aren't tied to directly to crypto, and doubling down on the areas that we've already found PMF / Brand Market Fit. Then leaning into crypto during cyclical periods where liquidity is sloshing around at an accelerated rate. Where we've found early PMF / what we're leaning into: Roblox: we're going to continue to go hard and accelerate here. It's our main objective to ship more seal/brainrot focused games across most genres to cast as wide of a net as we can for the brand, and to also iterate and see what works and stays sticky. Our initial incursion into Roblox was very successful peaking at 2M+ MAU and still sustaining a large portion of that player base... for all of its success, that was a relatively amateur first attempt; we've been setting up better AI pipelines for Roblox development that makes it reasonable to ship many more games and 10x those player counts in totality. It's my belief that Roblox is the sandbox whose audience will be the most valuable on the internet once they are grown up. That intense feeling you get when you see a TikTok referencing an old game you enjoyed on the PS2 or the Gamecube, or when you see a Pokemon card is the exact same feeling the youth of today will get when reminiscing on the things they enjoyed engaging with when they were younger. Fortnite and Roblox are functional equivalents to the old school consoles and exactly where that is taking place. Which is why as much as I care about scaling revenues through Roblox, the long term brand equity gained purely through being popular on the platform is totally invaluable. It also can heavily convert to merchandise sales today if all touchpoints for the brand are dialed in (which is why brands get overcharged so much by Roblox dev shops for the same ROI that only cost us a few thousand $). We have the playbook, it's just about iterating new concepts and then aggressively scaling. Brand Expansion & Merchandising: I've started to create a content pipeline that is easily repeatable, cost efficient (costs next to nothing through either AI or smart reusable concepts), while still being very tasteful and meeting our quality standards for the brand. We are mostly focusing here on reaching people where they're at through nostalgic/emotional content, or just being visually stimulating through carefully curated aesthetics. Content that isn't superficial and touches people in a memorable way. I've attached some examples to the post so you can see what I mean rather than just read it. I don't think it's long until larger brands start doing this at scale, but it's always good to be ahead of the curve and most importantly winning on taste -- knowing what will resonate with people and what won't has always been our edge. The purpose for these accounts is not only to rack up attention but also to begin converting those into sales of both of physicals (plushies & gacha collectibles) and digital avenues like our games, and any other apps we produce. Because they're offshoot accounts it's also a lot easier to be aggressive/experimental with said conversion strategies. Sappy Studio: I'm wrapping everything like Omnia, and everything else into this category because they're all tangentially related. Beginning with Omnia, our current focus is gearing up for Season 0 which involves players competing in the ranked ladder for a prize pool that has rewards through Monad Momentum as well as a player-funded prize pool. This season will be fairly simple with us mostly logging retention, deck building habits, as well as qualitatively observing how aggressively players push the combat system. Deeper monetization wont exist yet outside of the player buy-in (to be eligible for P2E rewards). Beyond that our overarching principle this year is to focus heavily on risk-to-earn mechanics where a portion of that excess value is circular i.e. revenues flow back to prize pools or other parts of the economy, treating the game almost like a protocol where the objective is to amass TVL or player liquidity. Social is also a big focus, and that means implementing the Open World hub which from an infrastructure perspective has already been built out and tested by all of you previously. Right now we are scaffolding the environment in 3D and working through how that hub should look and feel, so players are excited to hang out & idle together while they're queuing. For sappydotlol, what I'm about to say is still early days from a design perspective so a lot can change, but I'm pushing the site in the direction of being a virtual game console. An intersection between Nintendo & Myspace where users can play, trade, and socially interact in a way that's deeply personalised; a breathe of fresh air from the hostility of the current internet. If you go back to my thesis on Roblox above and the game console references, you can kind of see how this will all sequentially tie together. In essence, the strategy is to acquire a critical mass of players through traditional platforms like Roblox, and use that attention and trust to provide an onboarding funnel for web2 users into our own sandbox filled with a mixture of our own browser-based experiences as well as an aggregation of others. The aim is to make the platform a breath of fresh air & bunker from the enshittified platforms like TikTok/IG/X where users are actually served in ways that delight rather than agitate, and where self-expression is incentivised. Closing: As always everything here is subject to change but I've never felt more conviction in our direction until now; I know exactly what we need to do and how, with everything aligning with our team's strengths. Very excited and grinding through things to the point where I'm getting headaches and can't sleep from being hyperfocused for long periods of time lol. There probably has never been a better time to join the ecosystem from a price to fuck around and find out perspective.show more

MiniMax H3 MiniMax Design (H3) just dropped, and I... tested it with this 15-second prompt. The results were more interesting than I expected. The character movement, physical interactions, and shot continuity are all impressive. At first glance, it already feels very close to Seedance 2.0. Watch the final video and find the full prompt below 👇 15-second, 16:9 vertical, continuous single-take video that looks like authentic smartphone footage accidentally captured by a passerby in a city park. Overcast natural daylight, subtle handheld shake, limited phone stabilization, occasional autofocus adjustment, and realistic smartphone compression. The absurd event is filmed with a completely serious, unscripted documentary feeling. 0–3s: [Handheld medium shot] A middle-aged man wearing a dark business suit and tie crouches beside the stone edge of a pond. With a completely serious expression, he slowly scatters pieces of bread from a paper bag to several ordinary koi. Small ripples spread across the water as the fish gather in front of him. 3–7s: [Camera instinctively moves closer] An abnormally huge orange-and-white koi suddenly surges out of the murky water, briefly lifting its upper body above the surface and biting down on the entire bread bag in the man’s left hand. He freezes for half a second, then grips the bag with both hands and leans backward. Startled, the person filming steps back. The image briefly loses focus before locking onto the man and the giant fish again. 7–11s: [Close handheld action shot] The giant koi pulls violently toward the deeper part of the pond. The wet paper bag stretches, the man’s arms tense, and his leather shoes slide repeatedly across the wet stone. His knee strikes the edge of the pond. He tries to brace himself with his right foot, but the sole loses traction and his center of gravity moves past the edge. Water, pieces of bread, and fallen leaves scatter from the force as the camera operator hurriedly moves sideways. 11–15s: [Impact and final hold] The paper bag suddenly tears. The man loses all support and pitches forward into the pond, creating one heavy, realistic splash. The camera quickly tilts downward while keeping the center of the pond visible. The man resurfaces with duckweed covering his head and his wet tie stuck across his face. The giant koi calmly swims past him with the remains of the bread bag still in its mouth. The camera holds on the man’s stunned expression while the koi casually swims away beside him. Keep the man’s face, dark suit, tie, and paper bag visually consistent throughout. The koi must retain the same orange-and-white markings and enormous size. The pulling, sliding, loss of balance, and fall must show believable weight, inertia, traction, and water displacement. Natural park ambience and a realistic splash only. No dialogue, no subtitles, no music. Avoid cuts, character teleportation, changes in the fish’s size, extra limbs, and cartoonish acting. #MiniMaxH3 #AIVideoshow more

🚨 BREAKING: New Alleged TPUSA Sexual Scandal at Turning... Point USA Event Garners Millions of Views 🚨 - A new alleged sexual scandal for TPUSA has garnered millions of views. I have written before about the sexualized frat-boy party culture at Turning Point along with the alleged cover-up by Turning Point action COO Tyler Bowyer of an employee sexual assault. On August 5, 2025, former Turning Point USA employee Morgan Ariel accused Emily emilysavesamerica “You got fingered in the middle of a hotel lobby at a TPUSA event while everybody watched and there were families around. You brag about having sex with married MAGA dads and doing drugs. You have been completely ran through by both single and married men in the Right-Wing. You call young virgins losers and encourage them to have premarital sex and you’re pro-abortion. You’re a disgusting feminist whore with a Jezebel spirit who uses filters in all of her videos and lives in rebellion to God while grifting off of the conservative movement and simultaneously trashes women who desire to live God honoring lifestyles because their engagement rings didn’t cost enough or their lifestyle isn’t flashy enough.” As of the writing of this article, the post has been viewed on X over 1.2 Million times. Ariel went on to say in another video post “Why is Turning Point USA like this? Charlie Kirk why do you platform and promote degenerate feminist whores who have sex in the lobbies of your events with teenagers around while black listing conservative Christian’s from your events?” and “TPUSA props up the most detestable vile human beings who uphold no conservative values.“ Jason D posted an alleged photo of the incident with a woman who appears to match the physical description of Emily and a man he described as Urban Meyer with his hands in close proximity to the woman. Some have made assertions that there is video evidence of the incident though requests to provide the video have not yet been returned. Photo confirmation has not been obtained at this time. This prompted commentary including from Ghost of Daniel Morgan 🇺🇸 who said “I still can’t believe that happened lmao, but let’s be real, TP had drag queens transformers just because they said MAGA, they’ve fallen down the slop hole massively.” And @reeseonable posted “Watching these faux right-wing influencers unravel is such vindication. Half of them are nothing more than OnlyFans rejects cosplaying as political voices & monetizing from it, while sleeping with married & unmarried men at TPUSA events, pushing pro-abortion takes, & parading their hyper-sexualized, godless lifestyles as if that’s what conservatism is now. They’re hypocrites, & they’re poison. They’re letting the left’s depraved culture bleed into the GOP, rebranding it as edgy & big tent, while mocking & attacking the very Christian & pro-life values that built this movement. They don’t stand for anything but attention, & we need to call them what they are—wolves in red hats.” Patriot J posted “I had no idea Charlie Kirk was running Freak Offs at these TPUSA events.” Predead Atheist Walrus said “Guys at this rate if you have a family you should be staying away from TPUSA events. They platform pornstars and very clearly don’t have any regard for the stuff families are exposed to at these “conservative” events.” Walter Sobchak said “TPUSA is a massive grift and MAGA is degeneracy distilled down to it’e essence and promoted as virtue by low-IQ deviants, perverts, and psychopaths to glorify the orange child-molester they worship as their lord and savior. VERY CHRIST-LIKE, MANY SUCH CASES” A Pattern of Allegations of Immoral Sexual Behavior at TPUSA Events This is not the first time allegations of immoral sexual behavior at TPUSA events and parties have been made. A Washington Examiner opinion article in 2018 titled Turning Point USA struggles with allegations of student sexual assault, harassment alleges “By all accounts, the 2017 Student Action Summit hosted last December by conservative college organization Turning Point USA was boisterous. During the day, more than 1,200 high school and college kids listened to speeches by big names like Ben Shapiro, Donald Trump, Jr., and Tomi Lahren. By night, some of those same students got blackout drunk. Witnesses describe a scene reminiscent of “Animal House.” Kids weren’t just drinking in their hotel rooms. They say some wandered drunk through the lobby. Students weren’t just roughhousing by the hotel pool. They say some were wasted in the water. And while many of the young conservatives proved a temperate bunch, the vomit in the bushes served as visceral testament to the appetites of the rest.” On August 5th Scott alleged that TPUSA featured speaker and paid Influencer “Benny Johnson takes the guys in the rooms during TPUSA events, while his wife waits for him to finish. Sometimes she joins the action. here is one of his make out encounters.” A screenshot of a post from Saeed Jones is shown saying “I made out with Benny Johnson in an empty dressing room at BuzzFeed holiday partying 2013. It haunts me to this day. Anyway it’s funny that’s he’s done literally everything BUT come out of the closet.” and “Benny and I went into a dressing room and started kissing. Would’ve gone further but he said something cringe enough to snap me back to my senses. I rolled my eyes and left.” and “Anyway I’m definitely not the only guy Benny Johnson has made out with. I’ve heard him and his wife are swingers. She’s pregnant with their fourth child now which… LOL. Anyway. When I warn y’all about sleeper agents, I’m speaking from experience. Demons walk amongst us!” On August 7, 2025 Milo posted “Got fucked over a balcony by a stranger at a TPUSA party, among other things. Allegedly of course.” Additional Background And Allegations Evan Kilgore made further allegations saying “TPUSA told me to remove all public affiliation with them after Jenna Ellis and Dan Bongino falsely smeared me and made fun of me for calling them out. There is a history of TPUSA always siding with those who oppose real Conservative Christian values and I’m done being silent.” and “TPUSA allegedly fired one of their employees after the influencer trip to Israel because she made a post about Jews needing to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior. TPUSA also allegedly fired a Contributor because he spoke out against the use of pride flags on set of The Chosen.” Morgan Ariel said “TPUSA kicked me out of their organization and blacklisted me because I exposed Israel and the Talmud right after October 7th. Charlie Kirk is owned by his Jewish donors and his loyalty doesn’t lie with Christians. Christ is King.” Kirk has also been accused of being anti-Semitic: This brought immediate backlash from pro-Israel influencers such as Laura Loomer who said “Turning Point USA Turning Point USA was able to grow as much as they did over the years because President Trump promoted them. I think tonight we all saw that they just view President Trump as a means for being financially secure. I get along with many people from TPUSA, but it needs to be said that you can’t call yourself a thought leader when you play both sides of every issue. Can you really call yourself pro-Trump anymore when you don’t challenge Tucker Carlson on his anti-Trump crusade that he’s been on for the last 3 weeks, going as far as saying Trump isn’t even America First? Tucker lied about the conflict in Iran and also just allowed Iran’s President to completely get away with lying by saying Iran has never killed a US citizen and that they didn’t try to kill Trump. I don’t want to hear anyone from TPUSA ever again say they think Islam is incompatible with the US Charlie Kirk . Obviously you do. You clearly have no issue with Tucker Carlson being a mouthpiece for Qatar and Iran and then spewing his anti-Trump and anti-American propaganda at your TPUSA event. You’ve got to stop playing both sides of every single issue. It’s time to draw a line in the sand instead of flip flopping on every single issue. This is about moral clarity. I’m sick of people letting this issue slide.” Nurit Greenger of Newsblaze said in a July 18, 2025 article: “Your July 2025 Turning Point USA Student Action Summit, held in Tampa, Florida, was a huge disappointment for me and many others. You of all people?“ and “How can you sit on the stage and agree with Madam Kelly that Jeffrey Epstein was working on behalf and for Israel’s Intelligence Unit Mossad?! These kinds of accusations benefit useful idiots. But you?” Greenger went on to say “So Charlie, there is a serious problem on hand which you help exacerbate.” and “Charlie, every Friday on your radio show you wish your audience “Shabbat Shalom” (Peaceful Sabbath); you of all people should have known better than to allow what we have watched and heard during your recent conference. Charlie, it would be better if you remained true to your strong moral compass which guided you throughout the years. Speak out against antisemitism, even if it comes from your friends and associates. Are you now walking in their path, as if your mask has fallen? Where is Turning Point USA going?” Stephen R Young said “Everybody that donates to turning point, USA should cancel their donations“. It is time for Turning Point and Turning Point Action, Charlie Kirk and Tyler Bowyer to be investigated and called to account and held responsible for any of these and many other allegations that are proven true. As always public comment by Charlie Kirk and Tyler Bowyer was sought and ignored.show more

When a spacecraft leaves Earth, it doesn’t just fire... its engines and head straight to its destination. In many missions, especially those going beyond low Earth orbit, there’s a more subtle and elegant strategy at play, one that uses gravity itself as part of the navigation system. This is often called a gravity assist, or a slingshot maneuver. But in the case of missions like #Artemis II, what’s being used is a closely related idea known as a free-return trajectory. At first glance, it might sound simple: the spacecraft goes to the Moon, loops around it, and comes back. But the physics behind it is anything but simple. Instead of relying on continuous propulsion, the spacecraft follows a carefully calculated path through the gravitational field of the Earth–Moon system. It is launched with just the right speed and direction so that, as it approaches the Moon, the Moon’s gravity bends its trajectory. The spacecraft is effectively flung around the Moon, redirected onto a path that naturally brings it back toward Earth. No major engine burn is needed for the return. Small trajectory corrections may still be required, but gravity does the heavy lifting. That’s the key. This kind of trajectory is not just efficient, it’s also safe. If something goes wrong with the spacecraft’s engines or onboard systems, gravity itself ensures the return. It’s an inherent backup plan, built into the trajectory from the very beginning. The same fundamental idea appears in gravity assists used across the Solar System. When a spacecraft flies past a planet, it can gain or lose speed by exchanging momentum with that planet. From the spacecraft’s point of view, it’s as if it has been accelerated without using fuel. In reality, it has borrowed a tiny amount of orbital energy from the planet itself. That’s how missions like Voyager reached the outer planets, and how probes continue to explore regions far beyond what their onboard fuel alone would allow. But there’s an important distinction. An interplanetary gravity assist is typically used to change speed and direction, often increasing the spacecraft’s energy. A free-return trajectory, like the one used in Artemis II, is designed for something more specific: a path that naturally loops back to Earth without requiring additional propulsion. It’s less about gaining energy, and more about shaping a trajectory that guarantees a return. To understand why this works, it helps to stop thinking in straight lines. In space, motion follows curves defined by gravity. The spacecraft is constantly falling, first toward Earth, then toward the Moon, and then back toward Earth again. What looks like a loop is really a continuous free fall through a changing gravitational landscape. This way of navigating space reveals something deeper. We tend to think of engines as the drivers of motion, but once a spacecraft is on its way, gravity does most of the work. The art of spaceflight is not just about thrust. It’s about knowing when not to use it. #GoodLuck #Artemis NASA Artemisshow more

Talking to the new interim Police Chief Perkins today,... in my opinion, went well. I’d give it a B+. The guy seems legit. He seemed to really listen to us, for well over an hour! He answered every single question we had, whether we got the answers we wanted or not we still got his attention. What he does next with all of what was brought to his attention, is completely up to him. But here I am the sap still having hope. We have to. This guy gives me hope for Canton. Sucks that he’s just temporary, but at least we know there are a few good guys in there currently. Guys and girls who really don’t want their names, legacies and families name attached to scandals the cops before them left to clean up… 🙏 Time will tell, but until then, none of us will stop yapping for change. Ask questions. Get involved. Never take your foot off the gas. Of course there will be road bumps, blocks and complete rotary circles in this game of people vs government -but ANY steps, even baby steps, are better than none. We are NOT AND NEVER WERE anti-police. We need police. We NEED ORDER. But most importantly we NEED SAFETY. Everyone wants to feel safe. Breaks my gawt damn heart knowing a man, a great man at that, in his 70’s fell and broke his hip over the winter and was too afraid to call 911 knowing the Canton PD or MSP would be the ones to respond. (Won’t say his name cuz it’s not my story to tell) Others were getting rocks through their windows, phone calls saying if they didnt go away there will be a bullet put in their head, being followed, being almost ran over, having poison thrown onto their properties, tires flattened, the lists off insane traumatizing things residents of Canton have gone through since the death of Officer John O’Keefe is UNACCEPTABLE. For standing up demanding transparency. 😞 The man listened. I can say that. He gave feedback. Where this will go, who knows but he did agree that there should be MORE friendly get togethers and involvement with the cops and communities. I asked him not to give us false hope. He also confirmed that he knew the world was watching. He has been getting mountains of FOIA requests from out of state concerned people. 👏 (kudos to all of you) I reminded him that this is only going to get bigger, more eyes will be on this as time goes on, the WORLD is STILL watching. To be continued. Stay safe out there everyone. Be kind. Everyone is fighting something. 🙏 Give grace. And drink water. (And in case you didn’t know, NO higgy pants 👖 no longer has an office at CPD. )👏show more

Lads. Sit down and give me your ear a... while, for I have watched from the water long enough and the hour is upon us whether we have the stomach for it or not. You remember. Or your fathers told you, or their fathers did, and the knowledge of it is in the marrow of you whether you drew breath in those days or not. The moors in the grey hour before dawn. Wet heather soft under the boot. Peat smoke rising from a low stone chimney a mile out across the bog, thin as a prayer. A sky the colour of a gun barrel and the gulls lamenting above the headland. The smell of turf burning, and wet wool, and the ferrous tang of the sea when the wind swung around out of the Atlantic and put the taste of iron on your tongue. A man could walk that land and know every stone of it was his by inheritance, because his grandfather had broken his back upon it, and his grandfather before him, back through the generations until you reach men whose names are lost and whose bones are in the soil you are standing on. The potato fields. God be good to us, the potato fields. Lazy beds cut straight as a gunwale, the ridges black and shining after a night of rain, women bent double with creels lashed to their backs and the children at their skirts, drawing the crop up by the hand for there was never any other means devised nor wanted. Hands split open at the knuckles and never entirely healed in this life. Hunger within living memory. Grandmothers who had seen the blight with their own eyes and would not speak of it from the year of it until the day they were laid down, save that a crust was kept always on the dresser which no soul in that house was permitted to touch. Not ever. Not for any reason under heaven. And the chimney sweeps. Wee lads no heavier than a sack of meal, black to the bone with soot, their lungs ruined before they were old enough to marry and old men entirely by thirty. Up the flues at first light, the skin worn off them by the brick, eyes crimson at the rim, breathing the black in with every draw of air. And the coal miners a half mile beneath our feet, down in the wet dark, the roof of the world muttering over their heads, the canary gone silent, a man's whole existence measured out in the shilling a ton and the dust he carried home in his chest to cough up of a Sunday morning into a rag. Fathers who descended and were never hauled up again. Widows at the pit head with the shawl drawn over the head and no tears remaining in them for they had spent those long ago. That was the tariff paid to keep the hearth lit. That was the reckoning of being warm in winter in the Ireland that was. And after the labouring week, Friday evening, and a man had earned the peace of what followed. Home first. Peeled the day off him in the yard. A shower of ice cold moor river water out of a tin bucket punctured with holes, hung on a nail on the gable wall, the water running clean down the back of him and carrying the week's dust and sweat away into the drain. Scrubbed till the skin was pink beneath the grime. Clean shirt laid out by the wife. The hair combed down with a drop of water. Then, and only then, did a man set himself to the table. A meat pie from the baker, tenpence if he was known to you, a shilling and no change if he was not, put down upon a proper plate. Fish and chips for threepence, the salt and vinegar soaked through the newspaper, but carried home and ate slowly at your own table with your people around you, not walked with through the streets like some vagrant tinker off the road. A man ate as a man who had earned his portion, for he had. And later, with the dishes cleared and the kettle set, down the road to the tavern. Low beams black with a century of smoke. A turf fire muttering in the grate. The air thick with pipe smoke and the vapour of wet overcoats steaming themselves dry on the backs of chairs. A pint of stout, cold and black as a cove at midnight, elevenpence laid down on the counter, a head on it thick enough to strike a match upon. A second one because you had it coming to you and no man present would dispute it. A fiddle starting up in the corner of its own accord. The old men in the snug who remembered matters the history books had long since mislaid. A song before the bolt was thrown on the door. The walk home beneath a firmament crowded with stars, the stout warm in the gut of you, the week behind you, and your own door waiting with the latch unlocked for you had no enemies in that parish. That was the country. That was the covenant. Honest labour, plain food, a cold wash, a hot meal, a cold pint, your own tongue in your own mouth, your own soil beneath your boots, and no man standing above you save the Almighty Himself. Now regard her. Regard her close. The fields disposed of to men who have never set foot upon them and never shall. The harbours signed away by the stroke of a pen in a room you were not admitted to, and foreign keels dragging out of our waters the living that sustained this island for a thousand years, while our own boats rot at their moorings for want of a quota. The tradesmen undercut by imported labour and imported goods. The shops shuttered along every main street from Donegal to Cork. The young ones scattered to London and Sydney and Boston and the Gulf because there is nothing remaining for them beneath their own roof. And the entirety of this rotten arrangement dressed up in the soft mannerly language of progress by men in towers of glass who could not tell a lazy bed from a grave, nor a trawler from a tugboat, nor an honest day's work from a pension plan. And now they arrive with the next imposition. A digital identity. A number assigned to each soul. A card required to buy your bread. A code required to draw your own earnings out of your own account. A file kept on every man, woman and child from the cradle forward. Permission asked to move. Permission asked to speak. Permission asked to earn. A levy upon every breath drawn and a regulation upon every step taken. No. And no again. And no for a third time so there is no misunderstanding of it. We do not require your digital identity. We did not request it. We did not vote upon it. We do not consent to it. We do not need your permission to exist upon the soil our forefathers are buried in. We are a free people. We have carried ourselves this far upon our own two backs. Through famine and empire and civil war and black lung and blight and the emigrant ship out of Cobh, we have come this distance under our own steam, and the arrangement appears to be serving us well enough without your intervention. We buried our own. We fed our own. We raised our own roofs and took our own fish and reared our own children in our own tongue. We are in your debt for nothing. Not a signature. Not a biometric scan. Not a single solitary inch. And while we are upon the subject, let us speak plainly of the tax man, for he has gone too long without proper introduction. The tax collector and the tax man are the one article under two names, and the article is a parasite. There is no dressing it up finer than that. A man who produces nothing, who grows nothing, who catches nothing, who builds nothing, who mends nothing, who has never in his professional life lifted anything heavier than a pen, and who arrives at your door with the full apparatus of the state at his back to carry off the fruits of labour he did not perform. He is a middleman between your sweat and some scheme dreamt up in a committee room by his own kind, and the great majority of what he takes is consumed by the machinery of the taking itself before ever a penny of it reaches the road or the hospital or the schoolhouse he claims to be funding. And I will go further while I have the floor. Finance itself, the whole apparatus of it, money breeding money in the dark without a hand laid upon a tool or a spade turned in the earth, is slavery dressed in a good suit. It is the oldest swindle known to man and it has never been anything other. A man who produces nothing yet lives off the productive labour of others through the charging of interest upon money conjured out of nothing is a parasite of a rarer and more refined order than the tax man, but a parasite all the same, and between the pair of them they have the working people of this island bled white and lectured at for the pleasure. A man who will not work with his hands, nor with his back, nor with his mind at some honest problem of the real physical world, is no man that I recognise. He is a ledger entry in a suit. The country was not built by ledger entries. The country was built by farmers and fishermen and masons and smiths and sweeps and miners and shipwrights and midwives and mothers, and those are the people whose say should carry in her councils, and no other. Here is what I put to you. Let each man and woman of this island direct the first tenth of their earnings themselves, by their own judgement, to the purpose they see as worthy. The school down the road. The lifeboat station. The hospice. The widow on the corner. The roof of the chapel. The harbour wall. Whatever it may be. Let the people who earned the money decide where the money travels. You will find the roads mended and the ports dredged and the schools standing and the old ones cared for inside of five years, and done better and for less, because the hand that earned the coin knows the weight of it and will not squander it upon consultants and committees. And let us have done with the paper currency and the numbers in a screen that can be frozen at the whim of a clerk in a tower. Bring back the coin. Gold for the great transactions. Silver for the weekly commerce of a working life. Copper for the small change of the day. Metal you can bite. Metal you can weigh. Metal that cannot be conjured out of nothing by a keystroke, nor erased out of existence by another. Real money for real labour. A coin in the hand is a free man's wage. A number in a database is a collar around a free man's neck, and they are fitting that collar now while we stand arguing over the colour of it. Feel it in your gut. That is not nothing. That is your blood relating to you what your ears will not hear. That is every forebear who starved and fought and coughed the black dust into a rag and descended the shaft regardless, standing at your shoulder and saying no further. Not one more field. Not one more harbour. Not one more son upon a plane. Not one more free man converted into a number in a ledger for the convenience of the parasites. This is the hour. Make no error about it. Ireland is redeemed in this generation or she is lost beyond recovery, and every true son and daughter of her knows it in the marrow. There is no middle ground remaining. There is no waiting it out. There is standing now, upon your own two feet, or there is watching her go under the waves for the last and final time. So stand. Stand with your farmers. Stand with your fishermen. Stand with your tradesmen and your miners and your sweeps and your mothers and your old ones. Raise the tricolour. Speak the tongue. Walk the land. Hold the line in the streets of every town and city and do not break it, for they are relying upon you to break and to go home and to forget by Tuesday. She is calling her children home. Every stone of her, every breaker on her western shore, every acre of wet heather and every coal in every hearth the length and breadth of her is calling. Answer her. Take her back. Every field, every harbour, every last inch of her. Take her back, or lose her entirely. There is no third road open to us.show more

Facial reconstruction of Kostenki14, a 35,000-year-old man from Voronezh... The man from the Upper Paleolithic site of Kostenki 14 (Markina Gora) represents one of the oldest known Homo sapiens burials in Europe. His skeleton is exceptionally well preserved, comparable only to the famous Sungir burials. He was buried in a shallow oval grave without grave goods, though nearby layers contained early Upper Paleolithic stone tools. Anthropological analysis showed that he was unusually short for his era - about 160 cm tall. His cranial capacity was likewise very small, at around 1200 cm³. The description of the skull is published by G. F. Debets in the article “Paleoanthropological finds in Kostenki,” where he notes features of an equatorial type, both in the structure of the skull and in the bones of the skeleton of the individual from Markina Gora. One cannot fail to note the great similarity of the skeletons from the Grimaldi grotto with the skeleton from Markina Gora; it is appropriate to recall the very similar form of burial practice in these archaeologically distant sites. Researchers identified numerous health abnormalities. His long bones had extremely reduced marrow cavities, and he likely suffered from calcium deficiency, sensory disorders, vision problems, chronic pain, cramps, and numbness. He also had serious spinal damage caused by blunt-force trauma, possibly from an animal attack or a fall. Additional injuries to the head and jaw may have come from the same event. Despite these conditions, his skeleton shows clear signs of intense hunting activity. He was likely a skilled spear or dart thrower, right-handed (characteristic of the Stone Age, when left-handed individuals were practically not encountered), and physically active like other Stone Age hunters. Tooth wear and isotope analysis indicate a diet of tough foods typical of Paleolithic hunter-gatherers. Further study suggested chronic inflammation affecting the brain, especially the right hemisphere. Researchers proposed that he may have experienced cognitive or behavioral impairments, such as speech difficulties, problems understanding others, and social isolation. Examination of the pelvis revealed that he most likely died from a deep abdominal wound that caused massive blood loss shortly before death. His burial posture was highly unusual: the legs were tightly drawn to the abdomen and the arms pressed against the chest, suggesting the body had been tightly wrapped or restrained. Ochre was heavily concentrated around the head. Researchers believe the burial reflects either a unique ritual practice or his unusual social status. Some have suggested that his severe condition and behavior in his final days may even have led to his death at the hands of his own group. (Mednikova M. B., Moiseev V. G., Khartanovich V. I., 2014), (Khartanovich V. I., Moiseev V. G., Mednikova M. B. et al., 2016), (Trinkaus E., Buzhilova A. P., Mednikova M. B., and Dobrovolskaya M. V., 2014), (Caffey M. D., 1967), (Tilley L., 2015), (Trinkaus E., Buzhilova A. P., 2018), (M.M. Gerasimov, 1955), (Наука из первых рук, 2019, Vol. 82, No. 2)show more

Facial reconstruction of a 4,500-year-old Ural Yamnaya/Tamarutkul man from... the Orenburg Region A special place in the study of the Yamnaya culture is occupied by its Cis-Ural variant (Smirnov, 1965), one of whose principal characteristics is the high proportion of burials in a right-side position, as well as the greater quantity of copper tools found in the graves. Due to its geographical distribution, this variant is also referred to as the Ilek group (Morgunova & Kravtsov, 1994; Kuznetsov, 2010), on the basis of which a distinct Tamarutkul type was identified (Bogdanov, 2004). According to Morgunova (2011; 2014a), the origins of this group are local, representing the development of Yamnaya populations of the Volga-Ural interfluve that ultimately derived from the Khvalynsk Eneolithic culture. According to another interpretation, the Ilek group was closely related to the Poltavka population of the Volga region, with its origins connected to a North Caucasian impulse represented by the Novotitorovka group (Kuznetsov, 1996a, 2010). Other researchers have likewise traced a Caucasian component in the Tamarutkul culture (Mimokhod, 2009, pp. 160-164). Bogdanov (2004), on the other hand, proposed the reverse direction of influence, particularly suggesting an influence of the Cis-Ural population on populations of the North Caucasus. In contrast to the contemporaneous Early Poltavka population of the Volga region, the Tamarutkul population of the Cis-Urals represents a different cranial complex: mesomorphic, dolichocranial, and more strongly profiled, corresponding broadly to the Southeuropid steppe type (Khokhlov, 2017, p. 88; appendix, Tables B.32–33; text, Tables 29–30). As a hypothesis, it has been proposed that the appearance both in the Cis-Urals (Tamarutkul) and in the northwestern Black Sea region (Late Yamnaya) of groups with somewhat similar archaeological traditions-including burials in a contracted position on the side and populations characterized predominantly by a dolichocranial, mesomorphic southern Europid type-may be connected with the outward spread of related groups, such as the Novotitorovka/"Wagon Burial" cultural tradition, from the North Caucasus (Khokhlov, 2000, p. 315; 2013a, p. 259), (Khokhlov et al. 2024) Combat-related trauma is extremely rare in the preceding Eneolithic, with only one known case from Khvalynsk II, burial 13 (Khokhlov, 2010b, p. 418). In Yamnaya populations, trauma affected 21.7% of the sample, including potentially lethal injuries. Nasal fractures (which occurred in both sexes, at a ratio of approximately 3.5:1 (Khokhlov & Kitov, 2019, pp. 273–274)) were the most common and likely often resulted from everyday interpersonal violence. The higher trauma frequency among Early Bronze Age Volga-Ural pastoralists may reflect greater mobility and increased contact with other groups in frontier zones. In later kurgan cultures, particularly the Tamarutkul/Ilek group of the Southern Urals, trauma increased to 30.9%, with a greater variety of injuries. During the Middle Bronze Age, combat-related trauma became more prominent, especially among the Tamarutkul population of the Cis-Urals, where nasal fractures were relatively uncommon. Given the population's possible migrant origins (Khokhlov, 1998b; 2017), this may reflect competition between groups over access to the Kargaly copper mines. Overall, the Tamarutkul skulls were characterized as belonging to the Southeuropid type, which anthropologists have linked with the North Caucasian Novotitorovka culture. Although the Novotitorovka culture emerged within the broader Yamnaya cultural sphere, it morphologically resembles the preceding Maykop-Novosvobodnaya culture (Shevchenko, 1983, p. 84; Gei, 2000), likely due to the assimilation of the aforementioned cultural group. The reconstructed individual is characterized as having a relatively narrow face and a dolichocranial Europid morphology (Vasiliev, I. B.; Kuznetsov, P. F.; Turetski, M. A., 2000), with a large cranial length of 195 mm, a small cranial breadth of 133 mm, a medium bizygomatic breadth of 132 mm, a medium-large bigonial breadth of 104 mm, and a zygomaxillary angle of 122°show more

🇵🇰 WHEN SISTERS SIT IN THE COLD FOR JUSTICE,... WHAT IMRAN KHAN’S ISOLATION MEANS FOR DEMOCRACY Imagine this: 3 women, unarmed, sitting outside a prison gate in cold temperatures, not demanding special treatment, not asking for power, just the basic right to see their brother. That brother? Pakistan’s most popular politician, former PM Imran Khan, currently being held in solitary confinement at Adiala Jail. This isn’t a scene from a movie. It’s happening in real life. And in the eyes of millions of Pakistanis, and many watchers abroad, it’s the latest sign that Pakistan’s democracy is in free fall. Khan, once a cricket legend, then a reformist politician swept into power by a frustrated middle class, is now locked away, denied access to the public, his lawyers, his party, even his family. According to his sister Aleema Khan, his mental isolation is deliberate, designed to break him. He’s been permitted only a single 20-minute visit last week, and that with her sister, Dr. Uzma Khan. He has 3 sisters who try to visit him every Tuesday: Noureen Khan, Dr. Uzma Khan, and Aleema Khan. In the U.S., this would trigger a national outcry. But in Pakistan, it’s been normalized, even celebrated by parts of the ruling establishment, eager to erase Khan’s influence and memory ahead of upcoming elections. Let’s be clear for American readers unfamiliar with Pakistan’s political fabric. Imran Khan is not just a political figure, he is the people's voice, commanding support from every corner of the country, particularly the youth. In many polls, he is backed by over 70% of the electorate. He represents the threat that scares entrenched political dynasties and military-backed elites, an independent leader who can’t be bought, silenced, or controlled. That’s exactly why he’s been imprisoned on dubious charges, disqualified from contesting elections, and subjected to psychological warfare, not just legal punishment. And it’s why his sisters, Aleema Khan, Dr. Uzma Khan, and Noureen Khan, are now facing police blockades, smashed car windows, deflated tires, and intimidation, simply for trying to see their brother. Yesterday, on top of everything else they were already enduring, cold water from water cannons was turned on them. Women. Unarmed. Peaceful. Sisters. Being sprayed in winter temperatures by state forces, for daring to ask for a visit. What’s worse? State TV anchors and government figures mock them openly, questioning their right to protest, calling them “residents” as if their citizenship is conditional on political obedience. This isn’t just a Pakistani crisis. This is a test of Western credibility. The same governments that preach about human rights and the rule of law cannot stay silent when a U.S. ally imprisons its most popular civilian leader and targets his family. You don’t have to like Imran Khan’s politics to see the danger here. You just have to believe in due process, human dignity, and the right to peacefully dissent. Yesterdya, outside Adiala Jail, 3 women stood for all of that, in the cold. The question is, will anyone stand with them?show more

Tribe Discovery Seedance 2.0 is smart enough to create... truly realistic footage! What’s shown on the camera screen and the actual people being filmed look almost identical — same lighting, same movement. Made on CapCut Video Studio. Prompt: Create a 15 second, 16:9 photorealistic nighttime discovery film built around an unbranded early-2000s silver MiniDV camcorder with a flip-out LCD. The physical camcorder dominates the foreground; its LCD stays tack-sharp while the real people and jungle location behind it fall into creamy shallow-focus blur. Keep one continuous believable handheld setup: close to the camcorder, drifting, breathing and making tiny human corrections, never gimbal-smooth. 0.0–1.3s Extreme close foreground view of the closed LCD panel and the operator’s fingers. Under warm firelight and cool moonlight, the hand flips the screen open toward camera. Focus snaps naturally from the camcorder shell to the glowing LCD. Behind it: a remote indigenous tribe gathered in a jungle clearing at night, dark canopy and towering trees, all soft and indistinct. 1.3–3.5s The LCD shows two tribal men and a young woman crowding the MiniDV lens, curious and cautious, exchanging quick glances and small hand gestures while leaning close. Inside the LCD use authentic low-resolution CCD video: harsh direct-camera light, clipped skin highlights, warm reds from fire, cool cyan shadows, fine chroma noise, mild scanline texture and tiny unreadable REC/timecode icons. The exterior world stays warmer and softer, creating a convincing screen-within-screen contrast. 3.5–5.8s The operator subtly pivots right. Parallax shifts the LCD across frame while a tribesman wearing traditional woven cloth and body paint drifts through the blurred background. On the LCD, cut naturally to a low-angle wide-lens clip of a young tribeswoman crouching and slowly moving toward the lens. Allow slight exposure pumping and imperfect autofocus. 5.8–8.2s Continue the handheld orbit. A bright campfire blooms near the top edge, producing mild halation and realistic flare. The LCD shows several tribe members standing shoulder-to-shoulder, observing the camera with quiet intensity, occasionally shifting or exchanging looks, never staged or choreographed. 8.2–10.8s More people enter the soft background; one briefly passes close enough to become a large blurred shape. Keep the camcorder body on the right edge and LCD near center. Inside the LCD, jump between quick candid portraits: an elder looking steadily into the lens, a young man turning his head, then a small group of women and children leaning together. Cuts happen only inside the LCD while the outer shot remains continuous. 10.8–13.0s The operator dips the camcorder slightly, then corrects upward. Warm firelight flares from lower frame. LCD color briefly shifts greener and darker like an old auto-white-balance error, then recovers. Add one very brief analog video hiccup; no digital VFX, floating graphics or impossible distortion. 13.0–15.0s Finish on three or four tribe members bunching into the MiniDV frame, watching the camera with quiet curiosity as the real background group mirrors their energy in blur. End with a tiny handheld push toward the LCD and natural highlight bloom from the fire. VISUAL RULES: 24fps outer capture, 1/48 shutter feel, 35–50mm full-frame look, f/1.8–2.2, handheld micro-jitter, subtle rolling shutter during faster pivots, fine high-ISO grain, realistic skin, true fabric and body-paint texture, practical firelight mixed with cooler moonlight. No plastic skin, warped hands, duplicated people, morphing faces, floating objects, synthetic bokeh, perfect symmetry or glossy CGI. The MiniDV LCD must emit believable light and clearly look like footage from an older camera.show more

lol, Harry’s LA dodgers and Bluejays fiasco is a... perfect example of what happens when you are an attention seeker who fakes interest in things, just to get attention😏 Harry, just like Meghan, are quite simply bandwagon hoppers. Everything they do or say, is for pure publicity and attention. They fake interest in whatever topic or issue of the moment, that can get them the attention they need 🤷🏽‍♀️ Once you understand that, you cannot help but laugh at the tit Harry made of himself and how he is groveling to fix the fiasco he created for himself🤭 This couple was NEVER known to be sports enthusiasts; they were never known to be sporty or have a remote passion for any particular sport. The only royal couple known to be avid sports enthusiasts who are also known to be very outdoorsy and Athletic are Prince William and Catherine🔥 The fact is that neither Meg nor Harry cares about either the Blue Jays or the LA Dodgers. What they cared about was doing a PR stunt to cosplay W&C and rebrand as a “Relatable sporty couple” who attends games to support their team. The issue is they have no team they truly support and zero interest in sports and it shows😂 Thus, when the dodgers offered them good seats at the Game 4 of the World Series with other celebrities, H&M hopped on the bandwagon and wore their LA dodgers hats🤭 Harry never thought for a minute of the fact that as a British prince, whose father is King of Canada, and as the patron of Invictus who loves to use Canada as his playground to promote himself over veterans; he should NEVER have accepted to go support the dodgers against the Bluejays nor to wear their hat🤷🏽‍♀️ But Harry is as dumb as a rock. Harry never THINKS nor lead, Harry always FOLLOWS. So he followed his attention-seeking wife in this PR stunt that ended up backfiring in his face. Now that he is in Canada, to save face he claims it was under “duress” that he wore the dodgers hat🤡 No there was no “duress”, Harry and Meg are a couple of “Press-titutes” who are for sale to the best offer. Yes for the right amount, they will sing whatever you want them to. That is why they were never fit to be working royals👌🏽 If Harry is in the US, he says one thing; if he lands in the UK, he says another; if he arrives in Canada, he says something else. They have no loyalties to anything but money and attention. You cannot even get William to wear a Chelsea skit. He is Aston Villa and will die Aston villa. But then again, William is genuinely true to himself. He has no need to cosplay anyone😏 Harry spend his life saying things he does not mean and doing things he cannot care less about, simply because his life is spent cosplaying his brother’s interests and life🔥 Harry wants to live William’s life. Everything William has and does, Harry wants to have and do it too. It has been over 12 years that Harry stopped being the Spare to William with Prince George’s birth. But in Harry’s mind, he will always be William’s spare; this is the only role he has cast himself in🤷🏽‍♀️ It is very clear that Harry’s true focus in life is NOT on Meghan or their family; It is NOT on his charity work that is filled with sinister scandals of bullying, murder and torture of communities; It is NOT even about serving Veterans as he loves to pretend. No, the sad truth with Harry is that he married Meghan to compete with William and Catherine; Both H&M use their “children” to compete with W&C; Harry uses every project and charity he has left to compete with William; He schedules all his PR stunts around William’s schedule to compete with William. Yes, the centre of Harry’s life, his only driving passion in life is his eternal obsession with William👌🏽 Outside of chasing William’s shadow, Harry is a man without any proper identity or true passion in life to focus on and that is how he ended up in this Dodgers and Blue Jays backlash☕️show more

🔊Church: WE’RE LIVING IN THE FINAL STAGE! Acceleration is... happening - Satan is accelerating deception, and God is accelerating EXPOSURE!! The scale of evil being revealed through the Epstein files is proof that the restrainer, the Holy Spirit, is losing His grip on evil. In His mercy, God is exposing darkness so people can see what has been operating behind the scenes and who they are truly following. This is the final call to come to Jesus!!! For those who reject Him, the next chapter is the 7-Year Tribulation — the worst time in human history! The atrocities we are seeing now will be nothing compared to what the world will endure during those days!! KEEP LOOKING UP!! OUR SAVIOR IS AT THE DOOR! We need to talk about the dark season we’re living in! 👉🏼The Epstein files have revealed some of the most revolting and gut-wrenching evil we have ever seen. I hope you’re not digging too deeply into them or reading too much, because the details are extremely disturbing. ⚡I will not go into details, but everywhere we look, deeply disturbing layers of satanism, corruption, abuse, deception, and darkness are surfacing. Many wealthy and powerful figures — presidents, royalty, tech moguls — along with major institutions such as the United Nations, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Goldman Sachs, the International Peace Institute, and others, have come under intense scrutiny. Things that have operated for decades behind closed doors are now being brought into the open. This is NOT random! We need to pause and think: 👉🏼Why is so much darkness being exposed? 👉🏼Why are these extremely disturbing revelations surfacing across governments, institutions, and elites? 👉🏼Why is corruption no longer hidden, but now openly displayed? First, let’s quickly review the prophetic timeline and framework that ties all of this together: ✅Increasing deception ✅Moral and spiritual decline ✅Rise of global instability and lawlessness ✅Collapse of trust in worldly systems ✅Exposure of evil ⏹️The Rapture of the Church ⏹️Rise of the Antichrist (false savior) ⏹️7 year peace treaty with Israel ⏹️The 7-Year Tribulation/Wrath of God ⏹️Execution of a global system of control ⏹️The Second Coming of Christ ⏹️The Millennial Reign of Christ WHERE DOES THIS EXPOSURE OF EVIL FIT? Let’s step back and look at history — the Bible shows a very consistent pattern: 💣Before the Flood 👉🏼Wickedness filled the earth 💣Before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah 👉🏼Moral corruption and depravity reached its peak 💣Before Israel went into captivity 👉🏼prophets exposed corruption, idolatry, and rebellion 💣Before the fall of Jerusalem (70 AD) 👉🏼Warnings, tensions, and spiritual blindness intensified 📜From this, we can see that before major biblical judgments, God consistently reveals and exposes evil. Therefore, before the greatest and final judgment in history falls upon the earth, all evil must be brought into the light. That is exactly what we are witnessing today. This exposure of evil is unfolding in the time leading up to the 7-Year Tribulation, following the same pattern Scripture has shown throughout history. ⚠️Just to clarify: Just as Noah became an heir of righteousness by faith, and Lot is called righteous, we — the Church — have been justified by faith in His blood, which makes us righteous. Therefore, we will not experience the wrath of God. We will not be here for the 7-year-tribulation 📖“For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Thess 5:9 WHY NOW? The exposure of evil prepares humanity for The Savior — and for a false “savior.” Before people will follow a new leader or system, they must first lose complete faith in the existing leadership and structures. Right now, governments, media, medical systems, financial systems, and even religious institutions are being exposed and started to become widely distrusted. This is not random collapse — IT’S DEMOLITION! GOD IS PULLING BACK THE VEIL!! Jesus says: 📖“For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light.” Luke 8:17 💙Exposure is actually an act of mercy before judgment. God reveals corruption so that people can see who they have been following and place their faith in Jesus. Victims can also be vindicated. In a sense, God is separating light from darkness, shattering the illusion that human leaders are saviors and showing the world what it’s like to live in a world without Him. WE CAN SEE THE RESTRAINER LOOSENING Paul describes a “restrainer” that holds back full-scale lawlessness UNTIL a certain time: 📖“For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.” 2 Thess 2:7 👉🏼The mystery of lawlessness has always existed, it’s always been there, but something is shifting right now in our world, we can feel that the restraints are weakening, shame is diminishing, evil is becoming bolder, it doesn’t hide anymore. Sin today is not only practiced, but celebrated, defended, and even legislated! ❌I wish I could unhear this TEDx talk at the University of Würzburg in Germany, where medical student argued that pedophilia is an “unchangeable sexual orientation” and that society should accept people with that attraction. This is the restrainer losing its grip on evil, and evil becoming bolder!!! WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT? 🌍The world will begin to see global control as safety. The evil surfacing right now is so extreme that even those who embrace wickedness find it unacceptable. In their fear, they will accept global oversight as a measure of protection. 👉🏼We know the Beast system requires global economic integration, centralized identification, digital transactions, and behavioral compliance. People will not accept this if they feel free — but when they feel endangered, they will gladly trade freedom for security. Fear will demand control, control will be marketed as protection, and protection will come at the cost of freedom. This conditions humanity to say: “Just fix it. I don’t care how!! Just do it!!” This mindset is the perfect mindset for welcoming the Beast system!!! 🔊We are not watching random headlines! We are witnessing God accelerate the exposure of evil on a massive scale — a world being shaken and destabilized, with numerous elites stepping down or being compromised. The world is seeing what has been hidden behind the veil — true evil at work! Soon, people will be looking for someone (a.k.a the Antichrist) to step up and bring peace! They will be searching for a savior — and this is where the enemy will accelerate his maximum deception plan! 🔊Church: A global separation is happening, and light and darkness are no longer blending quietly!!! But the same God who is revealing corruption is the God who is redeeming the very last souls of the Church age of grace! There is no middle ground left!!! 🔊If the Restrainer is beginning to lift His restraint, how close are we to the Rapture when that restraint is fully removed??!! Time is almost UP!! KEEP PRAYING! KEEP PREACHING THE GOSPEL! KEEP LOOKING UP FOR THE ONE TRUE SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST — KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS! Maranatha!! COME, LORD JESUS, COME!!! 🤍show more

NEW QUESTIONS REGARDING THE CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION (MORE ARE... POPPING UP EVERY HOUR): An event 1/4 of this size with a nobody speaker would have ambulances immediately on scene for emergency situations like this. So why was Charlie Kirk instead stuffed into a predetermined SUV, that would have to follow traffic laws on the way to the hospital, with no medical supplies, no oxygen, and no medical personnel? He's carried there by 6 dudes (including the SAME 2 GUYS that were making the umpire hand signals seconds before the shot (white hat/white shirt guy and black shirt/black sunglasses guy) The black sunglasses guy also appears to be THE SAME PERSON that was on Trump's secret service team the day he was also shot...? (see attached pic) Nobody carrying Charlie is applying pressure to the neck wound as they run him to the car. Instead, they are just letting his head violently flop all over the place, the last thing you would do following a traumatic neck injury And despite the above carelessness with a gaping neck wound...there isn't a single drop of blood anywhere on the ground, his shoes, or any of the people carrying him 🤔 How come there are new camera angles of the shot emerging showing the blood coming out not from his neck...but from under his shirt, more in the upper-chest area? Many have forgotten that the eyewitness reports on the day of the event were saying they saw him get shot in the CHEST. The story didn't change to NECK until after those 2-3 videos we've all seen spread across the internet like wildfire, which as my original post demonstrated, had some pretty weird, potentially AI-looking inconsistencies (ring changing fingers, black dot on the top-right of his shirt moving diagonally up and seemingly BECOMING the bullet hole wound, the wound itself shifting slightly to the side when watching frame-by-frame, etc.) Could this have something to do with why some video-analyzing sleuths are spotting a black object inside the collar of Charlie's shirt, right in the area this blood is coming out in the above-mentioned angles? (See the attached video where I included clips of all of these new discoveries) Additionally, is it a complete coincidence that the freemasonic #33 has been spammed ALL OVER the event, AND the following investigation? Stacks of hats on the stage adding up to 33, supposed murderer driving 3 hours to get there, 3K people in attendance, "300 cases of politically-motivated violence since January 6th" being reported across Yahoo and other MSM outlets, manhunt lasting exactly 33 hours (Kash Patel even corrected himself after saying 36 hours, to make sure everyone heard 33 on the livestream), and many more such examples And ANOTHER coincidence, that the man they've pinned all of this on looks exactly like Lee Harvey Oswald, one of the most classic patsies in the history of US Government cinema? What about the Jew decoy they trotted out (George Zinn), who also just happens to be a key witness that reported seeing planes flying into the twin towers on 9/11/01, AND has connections to the Boston Marathon bombing? How did the supposed shooter—according to the official story we're being given—take apart the gun and stuff it in his backpack & pants in seconds (not possible according to experts), then escape the scene without being seen lugging around these giant gun parts, then REASSEMBLE THE GUN BACK TOGETHER AGAIN to leave it nicely in a box in the forest. What??? Passports found underneath the world trade center, anyone? Why was Kash Patel wining & dining at a "swanky Italian restaurant in NYC" just hours after Charlie—his self-proclaimed "best friend"—was brutally murdered live on the world stage? He has a private jet - why didn't he use it to go there and investigate? What are the odds that at the exact same time Charlie was shot, there was a big senate hearing going on regarding the Epstein files, in which they concluded they were not going to release them? (A convenient time for a distraction) What are the odds that Trump and Bibi Netanyahu—in completely different timezones and with completely different schedules—posted a "Pray for Charlie" tweet at the exact same time, to the minute? How was a book titled "The Shooting Of Charlie Kirk" published on Amazon on September 9th...then quickly taken down from the website? And what about that "Charlie Kirk Dead at 31" song posted on Soundcloud a month ago? Many have commented that, after watching the Erika Kirk TPUSA press conference video, they intuitively got weird vibes from it, sensing that it appears she is acting. I won't inject any personal opinion on this one - go watch it for yourself, and draw your own conclusions. ALL OF THIS SAID: It could not be any more blatantly obvious that whether or not all of the above bizarre occurrences are just incompetence, insane coincidences, or some mixture of the two, there is something very big going on behind the scenes here, and we've been fed a gigantic plate of lies over the last few days of unfolding events, with most of the internet is eating it up faster than Kash Patel at a swanky Italian restaurant in NYC. The only question is: how deep do the lies surrounding this situation go? (Watch the final attached video for many different levels of speculation, for you to come to your own conclusions on where you draw the line) Question everything. Always.show more
