🇦🇺 MOMENTS BEFORE THE SYDNEY ATTACK: FROM CELEBRATION TO... PANIC Families, children, and elderly gathered at Bondi Beach for “Hanukkah by the Sea,” a joyful public celebration with music, food stalls, and activities for kids.

Minutes later, gunfire shattered the festive atmosphere, forcing families to flee and hide as emergency services rushed in. This is what was lost in an instant: a community celebrating life, faith, and family. Source: EL ESPAÑOLshow more

I watched so you did not have to and... here is the breakdown!!!! Nearly 2 hours. Plenty of nostalgia. Plenty of vibes. Lots of feelings. But when the net was wide open for actual clarification? Dead air. Total time Chris Albert spoke 1,501 seconds Which is 25 min and 1 sec. So on an almost 2 hour show, he spoke for about 25 minutes total. Roughly 21% of the entire show The remaining time was largely filled by the hosts themselves frequently cutting him off, reframing questions, finishing answers for him, or moving the conversation along before he ever had to sit in discomfort or explain anything fully. 0 minutes of that time addressed the major unresolved timeline and movement issues Oddly missing from this fact-based discussion No explanation for how Colin got home 20 min AFTER Chris that night, despite a four-minute head start No explanation for why Chris’s wife that went to 34 Fairview with donuts for brian Jr. pulled behind a car that was not there only an hour earlier with no explanation then, turned around, came back to get him, returned again, stayed 30 min, then left, all on the morning John was found. No mention of parents allegedly coordinating to quietly clean up a house-destroying party involving minors in which his son was one No discussion of repeated allegations of Colin being removed from bars for underage drinking. We were told this channel is about facts, not opinion. So we treated it like a data exercise. We timed everything Chris talked about, so you didn’t have to. Here’s how nearly two hours were spent 2 min saying they tried to “let the court system play out,” while explaining his New Year’s Day Twitter Space tour and condemning Sean McCabe’s comments 37 sec on moving to Canton in 1974 35 sec explaining it’s normal to work in the town you grew up in (we agree) 35 sec on Canton no longer being blue-collar and now very expensive 44 sec reminiscing about red paint stains in his childhood garage was misrepresented by the defense 1 min on town politics 15 sec explaining what a Select Board is 50 sec on handling public comment and being a “First Amendment guy… to a degree” 38 sec announcing he’s not running again 25 sec on how he keeps his cool during public comment 15 sec on pineapple pizza 52 sec explaining Colin was 17 when John died and can’t play college football with his cousin 45 sec expressing loss for how his family has been treated 10 sec referencing a blogger saying “horrible things” about Colin 26 sec blaming the media for selling and sensationalizing a story 20 sec saying he’s mind-boggled 48 sec explaining why the term “McAlberts” is dehumanizing 28 sec criticizing Yannetti’s performance was upsetting to him while stating John was his friend 42 sec explaining the fence-straddling photo was a joke 1:50 on “Nebbercracker” and a childhood yard incident 10 sec about his wife bringing donuts to a nephew for his birthday was not weird 32 sec blaming Karen for making his family look like villains 1 min on selling his house and convincing his brother to sell 24 sec saying Nebbercracker was the best part of the trial 1:12 on knowing Michael Proctor but not really knowing him 10 sec saying he was never alone with Proctor 11 sec correcting the “pin it on the girl” claim (which we agree with) 1 min praising Jillian Daniels as a great family supporter and defender 1 min explaining early lack of support made him sad 15 sec thanking the hosts 31 sec discussing starting a “Defend the Truth” media page 30 sec saying both sides were horrible and doxxed people 24 sec on feeling isolated at first 33 sec minimizing the Proctor gift as “just gratitude for solving a murder in one day” 28 sec saying he’s still friends with the O’Keefes and they eat at his pizza shop 38 sec saying Mr. O’Keefe sits with him for long periods of time 43 sec lamenting being made into villains 30 sec saying the case took years off his parents’ lives 35 sec thanking supporters and saying “the truth is on our side”show more

Sports 🥹🥹 At about the 70 minute mark last... night during Palmeiras and Inter Miami, a family of five came into our section. All 3 kids wore Miami colors. According to the parents, they weren’t necessarily the biggest Miami fans — they just loved Messi. The oldest kid, maybe 6/7, was mesmerized by the Palmeiras fans constantly on their feet screaming and chanting. I’m not sure he quite understood what was being said but after a little bit, he decided to join in. By the end of the match, his Miami jersey was off, he was screaming at the top of his lungs and he was high-fiving Palmeiras supporters. And the Brazilian club might have picked up a new fan in the process. After being around sports for long, you sometimes forget its unifying power and what effects it can have on people.show more

Following the barbaric Russian strike on the Ukrainian capital,... it was important to visit, together with heads of 55 foreign diplomatic missions, the site of one of the strikes, a ruined residential building in the Darnytskyi district. This is a site of a horrible war crime. At least 14 innocent civilians were killed by Russian terrorists here, including four children. One of the kids was born under Russian strikes in 2022 and killed by the Russian strike this morning. I am grateful to my colleague, Minister of Internal Affairs Igor Klymenko, who briefed foreign diplomats on the casualties and recovery efforts. It is critical that the world sees Russian terror and takes action to stop this barbarism. I thank all foreign diplomats who joined us today in commemorating the victims of Russian strikes. Russia is a terrorist state. We count on strong international responses and action to increase pressure on Russia, including new tough sanctions, and strengthen support for Ukraine.show more

🚨 JUST IN: Justin Baldoni breaks his silence for... the first time since the bombshell lawsuit against Blake Lively. This interview was recorded in November 2024, after the It Ends With Us movie premiere and promotional events, but before the lawsuit was filed and The New York Times hit piece dropped. It goes live Monday, February 10, 2025, and I have a feeling it’ll give us a glimpse into what Justin was going through at the time. And knowing what came next, things likely got even worse after Blake Lively’s bombshell allegations went public. Behind the scenes, during this period, tensions were high. Justin was pressured by Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively to release a public statement he didn’t agree with, forcing him to take full accountability for the bad press and production issues. At his own movie premiere, Justin, his family, friends, and team were sent to the basement. Then, during the movie promotion, he was snubbed and separated from the cast. Watch the episode on YouTube: Watch the promo clip, his words hit differently now. ⬇️ #JustinSpeaks #BlakeLively #JusticeForJustinshow more

Dear constituents and Nigerians, There is no meaningful development... without intentional investment in our youth. Our young people are energetic, talented, and full of potential, and it is our collective responsibility to create platforms that unite, inspire, and empower them. In line with this vision, I recently organized a football competition for the youth across Oshodi-Isolo Constituency II as part of my continuous commitment to youth engagement, talent discovery, and community development. This tournament was not just about football; it was about bringing together young people from different communities under one common purpose: to foster unity, encourage sportsmanship, promote discipline, and strengthen the spirit of togetherness among our people. I was delighted to witness active participation from youths across Ishaga, Ilasamaja, Ajao Estate, Okota, Isolo, Palace Boys, Ejigbo, Oke-Afa, and Ire-Akari, all coming together to compete, connect, and celebrate the power of sports. Football remains a powerful tool for social inclusion and positive engagement. It teaches teamwork, resilience, leadership, discipline, dedication, and mutual respect. Through this competition, our youth had the opportunity to showcase their talents, build friendships across communities, and channel their energy into something productive and inspiring. To ensure this initiative goes beyond recreation, professional scouts were present throughout the tournament to identify exceptional talents. I am pleased to share that selected outstanding players have been penned down for sponsorship opportunities to Spain, where they will be exposed to greater football development opportunities and international experience. The atmosphere throughout the tournament was electrifying, with impressive displays of skill, passion, determination, and competitive excellence. Watching these young talents come alive on the field further reinforces my belief that the future of our constituency is bright when we deliberately invest in our next generation. My commitment to the people of Oshodi-Isolo Constituency II remains unwavering. Beyond infrastructure and social interventions, I will continue to champion programs that directly impact our youth through sports development, educational support, healthcare initiatives, empowerment schemes, and economic opportunities. Together, we are building not just a constituency, but a stronger, more united, and prosperous community where every young person can dream, grow, and succeed. The future belongs to our youth, and I remain committed to creating pathways for them to thrive.show more

That's Mariyappan Thangavelu. Just few hours back he won... India's 🇮🇳 first ever Gold Medal in High Jump at World Para Athletics. Media won't share stories of such incredible athletes. But should know more about him. At the age of 5, he met with an accident where a drunk bus driver ran over his right leg that permanently disabled his knee. His school physical education teacher encouraged him to try high jump and he excelled at it. Comes from a humble background, he was was raised by a single mother working as a daily wage labourer and vegetable seller to support the family. Despite this setback, he completed his schooling and earned a bachelor's degree in business administration. At the 2016 Rio Paralympics, he won the gold medal for India. In 2020 Tokyo Paralympics he could have won the gold again but the rains made the conditions difficand settled for a silver. He is a Padma Shri and Arjuna Award winner. And won the Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna award in 2020 which is India's highest sporting honor. He used all his prize money to buy a paddy field for his mother and built a better house for his family. Mariyappan believes that his right deformed big toe helps him to get the leap. “This is what gives me leverage when I jump,” he says. “It is my God.” India is a country of amazing sporting talent. But we also need to be a country to celebrate all sports athletes. Everyone doesn't get brand deals and sponsors. The only fuel for these athletes is their grit and determination. Our only job is to cheer them and share their stories.show more

Honoring 1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan, Fallen Hero from... Hawaii and Fort Bragg Here is 1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan, 25, of Ewa Beach, Hawaii. Originally from Hawaii and commissioned as an Air Defense Artillery Officer in 2019, he was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 55th Air Defense Artillery Regiment at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. (Video: AI) Feehan was killed in action during an Iranian missile and drone attack at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan while supporting Operation Inherent Resolve.

Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.show more

In a big twist in the death of real... estate firm director Ketan Vishal Agrawal, police on Tuesday arrested his fiancée and her lover for allegedly pushing him into a deep gorge off Lohagad Fort in Pune and passing it off as an accident, officials said. While the incident, which occurred on June 18, was initially believed to be a case of an accidental fall at the historic Lohagad Fort, the investigation pointed to a murder conspiracy, they said. Agarwal (26), a resident of Gahunje in Pune district and director of a family-run real estate business, was found dead in a gorge near the fort on June 18. The police had then said Agarwal fell nearly 400 feet into the gorge while taking photographs during a trek with his fiancée and friends amid strong winds at the fort. An accidental death report was registered after his fiancée, Siya Goyal, told the Lonavala rural police that Agarwal had slipped and fallen while the couple was on an outing at the hill fort. Agarwal was scheduled to marry Goyal later this year. It was learned that the families had made elaborate wedding preparations, including booking a palace in Udaipur, Rajasthan, for the ceremony. Superintendent of Police, Pune rural, Sandip Singh Gill, said the circumstances surrounding the death appeared suspicious, which prompted police to investigate the case thoroughly. "Our teams examined multiple angles, including financial disputes and personal relationships. During the probe, police allegedly found that Goyal was in a relationship with another man, identified as Chetan Babulal Chaudhary (22), a resident of Kondhwa in Pune," he said. The investigation showed that Goyal was unwilling to marry Agarwal and considered him an obstacle to her relationship with Chaudhary, the official said. The two allegedly conspired to eliminate Agarwal. As part of the plan, Goyal took him to Lohagad Fort under the pretext of an outing, while Chaudhary was called to the spot later. The duo then allegedly pushed Agarwal off the fort, leading to his death, police said. Based on suspicion, the local crime branch took Chaudhary into custody. During interrogation, it emerged that since Agarwal was becoming an obstacle in Chaudhary's relationship with Goyal, both of them plotted to eliminate her fiancé. Goyal was also arrested based on Chaudhary's interrogation, the police said. "Following a complaint lodged by Ketan's father, Vishal Agarwal, the Lonavala rural police registered a case of murder and criminal conspiracy under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita on Tuesday," Gill said. Further investigation is underway to establish the exact sequence of events, collect forensic evidence and determine if other persons were involved in the alleged conspiracy, police officials said. Lohagad fort is linked to the history of Maratha empire founder Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. It is one of the 12 forts in Maharashtra listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.show more

Today in the heart of Ibadan, history came alive... as we erected the statue of Balogun Ibikunle at Ẹ̀lẹyẹle Roundabout, the same route he once passed on his way to war. The monument was commissioned by the Olubadan of Ibadan alongside the representative of the state governor, with members of the Ibikunle family from home and abroad led by Oloye Abdul-Lateef Akintola Ibikunle. For us, this is more than a statue. It is a symbol of the bravery, sacrifice and legacy of our forefathers. Indeed, this is a proud time to come from Ibadan a city of warriors, culture and rich history.show more

14 dinners got me everything I ever wanted in... this world. This is a love letter to everyone who came to a Family Meal in the last 12 months. You took a chance on someone who wasn’t the traditional fit for this community, walked into dinners blind (a hidden guest list and no guarantee of what you’d get out of it) and gave me the one thing in this world you can’t buy back: your time. Growing up I was drawn to lot of startup movies/shows (The Social Network, Silicon Valley) and all I ever wanted as someone 10,000 miles away from where all of that was happening, was to be in it. In the restaurant industry, family meal is a moment when bartenders, servers, cooks, dishwashers eat together and get to know each other outside of service. Too often as founders, researchers, investors, engineers, you’re expected to always have the right answers, be “impressive” and in a constant state of being “on.” In a world where everything is so transactional, Family Meal was created to take you off your proverbial line and give everyone a break from the performance. For 14 dinners I’ve kept Family Meals sponsor-free to keep the intention behind it all pure. I didn’t want homework from anyone to deliver insights, founders, or potential recruits on a platter. In our world, money is a commodity and protecting what makes these dinners feel genuine is a price I’d happily pay. I think it has served us well. And through this experiment I’ve found some of the most non-transactional, inspiring, and quietly brilliant people that put me in awe everyday. 14 dinners got me everything I ever wanted in this world, and it has been a great pleasure being your host. Season 2 starts in 2026. your host, aliciashow more

Today feels emotional, heavy, and deeply fulfilling at the... same time. Yesterday, when I came across a video showing the condition of Dasari Narayana Rao garu’s resting place, it genuinely disturbed me. For someone who shaped countless lives, inspired generations, and continues to guide us through his legacy every single day, it was painful to witness. What made it even more emotional was that today happened to be his Vardhanthi. 🙏🏻 Without a second thought, I felt this was the least I could do as his student. By 5:30 AM, along with my family, team members, local MLA Kale Yadaiah garu, leaders, and well wishers, we joined hands to clean and restore the premises. Doing it with my own hands brought a sense of fulfillment that words cannot describe. I must also mention that Dasari garu’s family, who have always shared a close bond with me, were not neglecting the place in any way. They were already planning activities in connection with his Vardhanthi. This initiative simply came from a personal calling and a desire to pay my respects at the earliest. Dasari garu was never just a director. He was a one man film factory, an institution, and a guiding light whose impact on Telugu cinema and on my own life remains immeasurable. Having received his affection, encouragement, and blessings from my childhood days is something I will cherish forever. Many may come forward to honor him today, and that makes me happy. But for me, being able to contribute this small gesture on his Vardhanthi felt deeply personal. The truest tribute we can offer #DasariNarayanaRao garu is not merely remembering him, but carrying forward the values, vision, and path he showed us. Always his student. 🙏🏻show more

1B Anthony Martinez (UCI Baseball) is an intriguing college... bat to keep an eye on this season. Was one of the best Freshmen in the country in '23 and posted a gaudy .394/.471/.619 slash line with 19 2B, 11 HR and 60 RBIs. Enjoyed another productive season last year and hit .316/.422/.492 with 18 2B, 9 HR, 74 RBIs and more BB (36) than Ks (29). This summer he did what very few players do nowadays, which is start on the Cape, leave for Team USA and finish out the summer on the Cape. At 6'3" and 230-lbs Martinez is plenty physical with present natural strength. Stands upright in the box with a slightly open front side and a medium-high handset. Relaxed setup. Martinez has a rhythmic load that includes a small barrel tip. Minimal drifting of his hands and is a small-strider. It's a compact operation in which he consistently takes a direct path to contact. Real hitterish look. Martinez has a bit of an interesting profile for his position in that he's a hit-over-power guy. He has a highly advanced feel for the barrel and double-plus contact skills. Martinez in '24 worked an 86% overall contact rate and an eye-popping 96% overall IZ contact rate. All-fields approach and sprays line drives from foul pole to foul pole. Advanced pitch recognition skills and swing decisions, will sometimes expand the zone against secondaries down. However, it's far from a hindrance. Not afraid to get aggressive early in counts. Comfortably 55 hit for me. While it's hit-over-power, Martinez isn't without some thump. He can drive the baseball into either gap, though the vast majority of his HR power is to the pull side. Posted a Max EV last spring of 104.3. More XBH power than HR power. Would give it a 50. Martinez is without a doubt a 1B/DH type professionally, so you're buying the bat. Finished product physically, but I believe in the hit tool. 4th-6th round type for me this July.show more
