I just watched a praying mantis square up with... a tarantula… two apex predators… no fear… no hesitation. The tarantula thought it was about to pop out from underneath and snatch lunch like usual. The praying mantis put one arm out like… go ahead. Try it. I wish a “” would! That wasn’t size. That wasn’t speed. That was posture, awareness, and timing. Nature doesn’t reward arrogance. It rewards readiness. Some creatures survive by ambush. Others survive by seeing it coming. Lesson… don’t assume dominance just because you’ve won before. Every now and then, the smaller thing slaps first. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove Credit: theanthropodarenashow more

Thanks to the 🍊🤡 that was the best thing... that could have happened. He made team USA look like cheaters and cry babies. He should have stayed out of it or just not try to get credit for doing it. If they would have won it would have been bad. Anyway, I haven’t watched one match because I just don’t care. I’m still jacked and getting bigger, stronger and wiser every day.show more

Katie Maloney talking about Lala Kent: “I've moved on... from my divorce and from Tom, but [Lala] is moving weird with that stuff, like the joking of being with Tom and even seeing stuff on The Valley of like her constantly joking about hooking up with him and they had like a peck in the pool or something. It's just, I don't know, it just seems weird like you're gonna cry about our friendship, but then do the very thing that you did when you first came onto that show that made me hate you and was trying to make me feel insecure, more insecure in my relationship than I already was. Now you're kind of acting it out. You're letting it play out that way, which it just feels weird. It just feels weird. I just feel like she moves funny.” 💥 #TheValley Source: Disrespectfully podcastshow more

People who say “don’t honk much” are completely wrong.... I took my car out and, by chance, the horn wasn’t working. I couldn’t drive for more than an hour. Bikes and e-rickshaws assumed I was just cruising, so they saw no reason to give way. It felt like cars were about to crash into me. I don’t usually honk much, but this experience was a nightmare. Try driving in India for just one hour without a horn and then tell me your review. The truth is, we Indians simply can’t survive on the roads without honking that’s the reality!show more

Asked to reflect on navigating a “hellish” public breakup,... Perrie acknowledges that she receives criticism for answering questions about it, “[but] I’m like, ‘But it really affected me massively’”: “People are gonna hate me talking about it… I can’t catch a break. If I talk about this, they’re like: ‘Why are you talking about it?!’ But anyway, shut up! Yeah, [it’s my life]. When you go through heartbreak, it is hellish. You can’t eat, you can’t sleep, you feel horrendous. You don’t feel good enough and you feel like you’ve been left for something better, or whatever it is… Then what makes it even worse is, I feel like the world was then looking at me, laughing at me. I felt embarrassed; I felt horrified. I had serious breakdowns. I did. Because it wasn’t just the heartbreak I was dealing with. I was dealing with everybody looking at me, and I felt ridiculed. I just couldn’t cope with it; I hated it. I was breaking down in performances, which isn’t like me at all. I was crying constantly. I think I was depressed… I know that sounds ridiculous! But I think it was this plus this plus this, and everything on top. It was like, I had to be there for the girls; I had to be switched on; I had to power through for Little Mix – but I also just wanted to be left the fuck alone. But I also was getting followed every two seconds and asked about it 24/7, and it was the headlines, it was everywhere, and it was a lot! And this is the thing – when people are like, ‘Stop talking about it!’ I’m like, ‘But it really affected me massively’.”show more

I just watched a GMC pick-up do something I... didn’t even think was physically possible… A four-wheel-drive American monster lined up with what looked like a Kawasaki Hayabusa… and that truck lit all four wheels up… smoked the pavement… and beat that bike straight off the line like it wasn’t even in the same universe. I’ve seen fast bikes… I’ve seen powerful trucks… but I’ve never seen a pickup embarrass a sport bike like that. That was pure GM… raw torque… American engineering doing what imports swear can’t be done. If you’ve ever doubted the heart inside a GMC… watch a moment like that and tell me you’re still not a believer. Who else just saw that video… and who’s got an explanation for how that truck violated physics like that? #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGrooveshow more

I went to the Nova Exhibit and saw new... footage. I already knew it was religiously motivated, but I underestimated *how* religious it was. Guys, it’s so much worse than I thought. I was watching a ritual. Like the human sacrifice of some ancient tribe. Like Apocalypto. I thought human sacrifice religions were gone and in the past, but no. That’s exactly what Hamas is. Before they invaded, they hyped themselves up by chanting “There is no god but Allah, and Mohammed is his prophet” OVER AND OVER. It wasn’t just a few “Allahu Akbar’s”. It was incessant prayers and chanting the entire time. It was non-stop, like this was a holy day and they were at church.. They would scream “In the name of Allah” right before bombing a car. Don’t look away. You need to understand what is happening and what we are dealing with here. “In the name of Allah, we conquer.” Watch:show more

Q: If you had an entire day to go... on a "date" with Sangwon, how would you plan the itinerary? 🦁: i wouldn’t do it, he (sangwon) would do it. he would plan it bc he knows like where to go (idk very well so). he’s not a J but when we go out spent like— he goes outside he always has a plan. — i don’t think i’ve ever seen anyone make leo blush the way sangwon does. that little shy smile and the tiny pause after saying “he would do it,” and then the way he catches himself going from “when we go out…” to “when he goes outside…” like he suddenly remembered to make it sound less personal. whether it was just a slip of the tongue or not, that entire moment was so endearing, and i feel like we don’t talk about it enough.show more

i was throwing $300 a month at tools that... would die on me right when i needed them most. then this video showed up in my feed. a guy. a laptop. his hands moving through the air like he's conducting something invisible. 3D visuals responding to every finger. every gesture. live. i watched it three times before i believed it was real. the whole setup costs $2 a month. electricity. i sat with that for a while. i was paying $300 a month just to feel like i was doing it right. not because the expensive tools were better. just because i didn't know there was another way. now i do.show more

something was bothering bianca. she looked uneasy for a... moment, then turned and tapped will to get his attention. she could’ve asked the other guy, the one everyone swears she has something with. but she didn’t. it wasn’t planned, it wasn’t for show. it was instinct. that quiet, invisible thread that still connects her to will. the way her eyes found him first, and the way he leaned in without hesitation, quietly, like he’d done it a thousand times before. his focus shifted to her immediately, lowering his head just enough to listen, to see what was wrong. it was brief, almost ordinary, yet there was something in that exchange, something steady, familiar, like the echo of a connection that never really faded. maybe it’s just always been like that for them, a silent understanding that feels as safe and certain as home.show more

🚨 EVERYTHING IS UNFOLDING JUST LIKE I WARNED YOU... I posted the S&P 500 top at 7,540. Look where we are now. First leg already played out: 7,540 → 7,375. Exactly as called. And this is just the pinprick - the whole thing is a bubble, and bubbles don't leak. They pop. Where it goes next: 7,375 → 7,180 → 6,950 6,950 → 6,600 → 6,750 6,750 → 6,100 → 5,500 Down hard first. Then the dead-cat bounce that traps everyone. Then the real flush. This was never "strength." It was record valuations, a hawkish Fed, and a market held up by a handful of names - air dressed up as a rally. Now the air's coming out. I've read this index candle by candle - same way I called the SPCX top at $225 before the crowd. The day I flip long, this feed sees it first. Notifications on.show more

Goodbye, Pearl My heart is still somewhere out in... that driveway, laid out flat like it just got the Holy Ghost and passed clean out. Today, I had to say goodbye to Pearl. Now Pearl wasn’t just an SUV. Pearl was my last rolling piece of freedom. She was my pre-ALS independence sitting on four tires. She was my “I’ll be right back” machine. My “let me run to the store” chariot. My “I don’t need nobody to take me nowhere” declaration with leather seats and a clean paint job. And today… she left me on the back of a tow truck like she was being taken to glory. That hurt. The last time I sat behind Pearl’s steering wheel, ALS made something painfully clear. I was sitting at a red light, needing to make a simple right turn. Simple for everybody else. But my arms said, “Oh no, we don’t do that anymore.” Cars behind me started blowing their horns like they were in the Indy 500 and I was holding up qualifying. I’m sitting there sweating, praying, negotiating with my limbs like, “C’mon y’all, just one more turn. ONE.” I wanted to yell, “Y’all better be glad I can’t get out this truck!” But truth was, I was scared. For the first time in my life, I knew I was not safe behind that wheel. Somehow, I used my legs to help force that turn, then drove home with fear sitting in the passenger seat. When I pulled into the driveway and climbed down out of Pearl, I knew. That was it. I dragged myself into the house and told Tanja my heart was broken. I wasn’t just giving up driving. I was giving up another piece of the man I used to be. So Pearl sat in the driveway for ten years, looking like a museum exhibit titled, “Before ALS Had the Nerve.” My girls used her sparingly—very sparingly after Sydney forgot to stop at a stop sign and introduced Pearl’s front bumper to somebody else’s rear end. After that, Pearl went into semi-retirement. Family members would ask, “Can I borrow the truck?” And I’d be sitting there thinking, “Borrow? That’s Pearl. That’s not a truck. That’s family.” But Pearl started coming back with scratches nobody knew about, “Not me.” “Wasn’t there before.” “I don’t remember.” And don’t get me started on the gas tank. I’d hand her over full, she’d come back thirstier than a man in the desert. Apparently, Pearl had been traveling with witnesses who all suffered from sudden memory loss. So today… I kissed her goodbye. Literally. Leaned in, pressed my forehead to hers, and whispered, “Thank you.” Watching her get winched up onto that tow truck felt like watching my past drive away without even turning around to wave. And when that tow truck pulled away, I laughed a little. Then I hurt a lot. Because sometimes letting go isn’t about the thing itself. It’s about what that thing represented. Pearl was freedom. Pearl was strength. Pearl was before. But even as she rolled away, I reminded myself: ALS may have taken the keys, but it never took my memories. It never took my gratitude. And it sure didn’t take my ability to laugh through tears. So goodbye, Pearl. You were loved. You were loyal. And Lord knows… you were patient with my family. Now let me go sit down before I start ugly crying like Tanja did over that Mercedes.show more

This woman was going out and decided to pull... into a dark road on the side of the highway that doesn’t get much traffic. She pulls her car over and gets sets up a camera and gets out so that she could do a “fit check” to make sure her outfit looks nice. There was a man who was walking away from her, as soon as she turned her back, he turned around and started walking towards her. She should have been more aware of what was happening around her. I think the man was hoping she would stick around longer, that’s why he turned back around. Wouldn’t you pick a more busy place to do something like this instead of a remote road away from traffic. In college sometimes I was working some odd jobs to make ends meet so I didn’t have to take out a loan. That meant sometimes I was walking back to the apartment at night, most of the time it was busy and there were people still walking around in the middle of the night, getting food or trying to make it home. It was a colder night than usual, the fall goat was warning me that winter was coming. Colder nights meant less people out and about. On the way home I was going to swing by the corner store to grab something to eat so I wouldn’t have to cook. As I was walking out I saw that there were a group of people at the corner, just hanging out and having a smoke, it was dark and I couldn’t see how many there was. I turned around and went back into the store. I let the clerk know and he looked out to see what was going on and he saw them too. He said to be careful because sometimes gang members like to hang out by that corner. I couldn’t call the police because they technically weren’t doing anything but I wasn’t about to find out either. I ended up waiting until they left about 15 minutes later.c then I proceeded to walk home, but not without looking behind me to make sure I wasn’t being followed.show more

Think you’ve got the diagnosis? Think again!! This is... a case where the diagnosis is not as important as the lesson it teaches you. Watch the video and then check back for hidden portion of this post to see what the answer is... And what lesson you should have learned from it ! Avidly enhancing T2 dark lesions in the subependymal region with increased diffusion signal. If I said that description to you—even without seeing the images—you would say lymphoma! Was that your answer? It was mine! And we are both wrong! It turned out to be metastatic melanoma. But the lesson here is that just because you were wrong by pathology, doesn’t mean you were wrong on the imaging If I saw a case like this again, I would still say lymphoma! You won’t be right every time—there will be weird cases. But you are making a bet on the imaging appearance and you should always bet the odds—with the risk that every now and then you might be wrong! So don’t remember from this case that metastases can look like lymphoma—remember that sometimes it’s ok to be wrong as long as you read the case rightshow more

I watched Robot on the Road and honestly I... did not really know what to expect going in At the beginning it just feels like a pretty normal little road trip setup with this robot hitchhiking around Japan and it almost gives off a chill slice of life vibe But it does not stay like that for long The more it goes on the more you realize the robot is doing some really questionable stuff and the way it focuses on women without their consent makes the whole thing feel really uncomfortable By the end I was not really sure if I was supposed to find it funny or just feel weird about it Overall it feels like one of those shorts that tries to mix dark humor with awkward situations but it mostly just ends up being unsettlingshow more

At 54, here’s something I think about a lot:... The good old days don’t feel like it at the time. It feels more like struggle. From the age of 25 to 45, you’re in the thick of it—building a career, raising kids, trying to get ahead (or just keep up with life). It’s so easy to lose perspective and forget that… You’re in the sweet spot. One day you’ll look back on that struggle as the best of times. Every season of life has its pros and cons—triumphs and challenges—but there’s nothing quite like the prime adult years. So what are we to do about it? Simply recognize that you’re living your good old days right now. Slow down. Savor it. Smell the roses. Because I’m here to tell you… The days are long, but the years fly by. 🎥: First flight for my younger daughter. I thought I was climbing the mountain—little did I know I was standing on the peak.show more

"I was worried that my grandma was left alone... after my grandpa passed. The house had grown unbearably quiet… the kind of quiet that lingers in every corner of a small Ohio kitchen. No footsteps. No voice calling from the other room. Just silence… and memories. So I made a decision that came straight from the heart. I brought home a Presa Canario. Big. Strong. The kind of dog people assume is intimidating before they even get close. But when he walked into that kitchen… everything changed. My grandma turned, looked at him… and for a moment, she just stood there. Then she smiled. A real smile. The kind I hadn’t seen in a long time. She reached out slowly… rested her hand on his broad head… And softly said, “Buddy.” That’s what she used to call my grandfather. Back when love was young… and life felt like it would last forever. From that moment on— They were never apart. He stands beside her while she does the dishes… just like this. Not restless. Not demanding. Just… present. Every morning, he walks at her pace. Slow. Careful. Matching her steps like he understands she needs that. Every evening, he stays close—watching, protecting, not out of duty… but out of love. That’s the thing about Presa Canarios… People see their size. Their strength. But they don’t always see their heart. Because when they bond… they don’t just stay near you— They *become* your shadow. The house isn’t quiet anymore. Now it’s filled with soft footsteps… gentle breathing… and a kind of silence that doesn’t feel empty anymore. It feels shared. Sometimes healing doesn’t come from words. Sometimes it doesn’t come from time. Sometimes… It comes with four legs, a loyal heart… and a name that brings love back to life.show more
