It's interesting how the composition of these 2 scenes... are very similar. Niffty and Alastor both use the slingshot techniques to amp up their forces, compensating for their smaller and lighter body mass. Maybe Alastor taught Niffty that or he learnt it from watching her fight,show more

Alastor’s shared history with Mimzy further establishes who he... was in life, not an isolated killer only operating in the shadows & the margins, but someone who was socially embedded in the 20/30s entertainment scene, one where nightlife and organized crime likely intersected. Judging from how their dynamic exists in Hell — where Mimzy clearly ran to Alastor to fix her problems as if it was a precedent, it’s easy to assume Alastor did the same for Mimzy in their human lives. In this way, Alastor’s killings weren’t entirely random. From what is shown on screen, his kills were often within his social sphere or within another structure of power (ex. the racist white man at the gala). Alastor helps Mimzy because they are friends — but he is also deliberate in making sure he is in control of the ecosystem he’s occupying.show more

Whatever Rosie was having Alastor do as part of... their deal seems fully connected to the hotel, or at the very least, something regarding the Morningstar family. Rosie’s cutoff before Alastor can finish, “We really aren’t any closer to-“ makes it seem like the hotel itself is transactional rather than ideological (everyone can be redeemed!) from his perspective, almost as though his participation is required until a certain threshold is met, and Charlie’s lack of success is prolonging his imprisonment within the agreement. There’s an end goal here - something Alastor needs to be “closer” to achieving, and the pointless singing and crying is getting in the way of a very deliberate ask of Rosie. Now, with Alastor’s deal gone, but his insistence to stay at the hotel — I think we’ll see what sort of power Charlie’s passion project holds, enough so that Alastor is sticking around.show more

J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio are two guys I’m... watching very closely, because I believe we’re looking at a big part of the future of the Republican Party. Trump changed the game. He taught Republicans how to fight, how to stop apologizing, and how to put America first without begging the media for permission. Now somebody has to carry that torch forward. Vance has the backbone. Rubio has the experience. Both are sharp, disciplined, and understand the battles coming next. If Republicans are serious about keeping this movement alive for the next generation, these are two names that better stay at the top of the list.show more

How long do elephants nurse in the wild? Years.... Wild elephant calves are milk-dependent for the first four years or so, and many will suckle from their mums for as long as they're permitted – often until a younger sibling arrives. A wild mum's milk also changes in composition as her calf grows. Our bottle-fed orphans follow a similar timeline. The formula we use isn't a perfect match for what an elephant mother produces – it can't be – but it's the closest available, and we tailor it to each age group. Without it, these babies wouldn't survive. Weaning happens slowly, at the orphan's own pace. We help it along by gradually diluting their formula and reducing feeds when the conditions are right – plenty of rains, plenty of browse. Some orphans are still drinking some milk at five or six, even as solid food makes up the bulk of their diet. For a hand-raised calf, milk is more than nutrition. It's comfort. It's part of the slower pace we deliberately take to make sure each orphan reaches reintegration ready and equipped to live wild – the call of nature always wins in the end.show more

Most disturbing thing about the Cockroach Janta Party isn't... just their politics, it's the utter indifference & disconnect they display. The expressions, body language and negative attitude of Abhijeet Dipke and Vijeta Dahiya are openly admitting that Sonam Wangchuk's health and well-being are the least of their concerns. He seems to have been reduced to nothing more than a guinea pig for their personal agendas. It's a classic use-and-throw approach. Exploit a respected face for your personal ambitions, then move on while he bears the consequences. If this is how they treat the very person they claimed to stand with, it speaks volumes about them. Perhaps Sonam Wangchuk, too, has realised he placed his trust in the wrong people and paid for it by being treated like a rag.show more

These are the Presidents of the largest 2 teachers... unions… Becky Pringle and Randi Weingarten. Both are Marxists. Both paid over $500,000 per year. 99% of donations from their unions go to Democrats. They’re responsible for much of the destruction of public schools. Sick.show more

Becoming an elite thrower does not happen by accident.... Here are two more catch play drills that are in our “spin cycle” … which teach players how to make throws when the play takes their eyes and body off of … and away from their target. These are 2 of the 20 throwing drills executed in progression that my teams do every day. I promise they work and if taught correctly and monitored daily, you will win more games and players confidence will improve significantly.show more

Alastor’s refusal to step in and help with chaos... at the hotel at the beginning of Season 2 is absolutely a defensive recoil after the physical (and psychological) damage he experienced after his defeat by Adam. It wasn’t just his angelic injury that caused this dismissive nature, the idea of dying an altruist fully destabilizes the narrative Alastor’s constructed for himself. To die a martyr on behalf of the hotel would retroactively rewrite his afterlife as service rather than sovereignty. When Vaggie and Husk ask for Alastor to help, Alastor withdraws entirely, fully posturing as someone who just enjoys being difficult and doesn’t care. Clearly, if he cannot control the outcome, he will refuse participation entirely. Still, there’s a deeper narrative tension building here — the hotel promising (and delivering) on redemption is in direct contrast to Alastor’s worldview. The hotel is no longer a spectacle for him to be entertained by, but a project that threatens the hierarchies of Hell Alastor had worked to establish himself within even before his human death. Alastor cannot tolerate these positions where he must rely on others or act altruistically. Those positions strip him of narrative agency, of the control and self-preservation critical to his character. This refusal to assist the hotel isn’t just Alastor’s classic brattiness, it is a defensive maneuver designed to restore his sense of autonomy.show more

MiniMax H3 Instead of sharing the prompts for each... of these videos, I thought it would be more useful to share how I created that prompts. All of the videos were generated with text-to-video. First, find an image with the kind of scene, composition and mood you want to recreate. I used a few YouTube playlist thumbnails as references but Pinterest is also a great place to find inspiration. You can even use your own old or nostalgic photographs. Then upload the image to ChatGPT and ask it to describe the scene. The description it gives you can essentially become your text-to-video prompt. From there, you can generate completely new scenes with a similar composition, atmosphere and cinematic language. You can of course use the reference image directly with image-to-video or as a first frame. But if the original image isn't yours, I prefer using it only as visual inspiration and recreating the scene through text-to-video. This is the prompt I use with ChatGPT: "Describe the scene in this image in English, focusing primarily on what is happening, the characters, their actions and body language, the setting and the overall atmosphere. Also briefly describe the composition, framing, camera angle, approximate lens choice, lighting, color palette and cinematic aesthetic. Keep it concise and scene-focused rather than overly technical."show more

Funny how the universe works. Divine justice arrives in... ways one never imagines. The Pakistan Army’s complaints against the Taliban now sound uncannily similar to the concerns the Indian Army has always raised about Pakistan. Rawalpindi says the Afghan Taliban are giving cover fire to help infiltrators slip in. After all, the Taliban are a student movement and they seem to have learnt very well from their masters. And credit where it is due. Masha Allah, the teachers trained their students perfectly.show more

This video is heartbreaking Wallahi I’m crying after watching... it 😭💔and it deserves national attention. These women in Maraba, Kaduna, are protesting because bandits have been entering their homes and abducting their children. Some of the victims are very young children, including breastfeeding babies taken away from their mothers. Yet, according to the families, they have received little or no meaningful action from the government. To all the Senator Uba Sani the governor of Kaduna State PR bots constantly promoting politicians online, why aren’t you sharing this? Why can’t you use the same energy to amplify the cries of these mothers and help the victims? You are quick to praise politicians, but silent when innocent children are abducted and families are left in pain. This video must go viral until Governor Senator Uba Sani and the relevant authorities see it and act. These mothers deserve answers. These children deserve to come home.show more

I tried conversing with these people about; the treatment... of women and children in Afghanistan, about cultural differences and how that may cause tension, about how rape and violent crime increasing correlates with mass immigration. Just an example. They wouldn’t accept any of it, they threw their washed up narrative, that I’m a Nazi racist bigot. All of them saying this from England, the United Kingdom. Who fought for it freedoms, freedoms they get to thrive in today. Because of our peoples sacrifice. Maybe peaceful protests aren’t the way we will get change..show more
