This group of soldiers was jumping out of a... military aircraft with the door wide open high above the ground. They were stepping off the ramp one by one into freefall with their parachutes ready while the rest of the team watched from inside. They look completely calm and professional as they leap out over the clouds and countryside below. I give them props for making it look so easy up there, would you ever jump out of a plane like that?show more

Since yesterday evening, I've been grappling with deep depression... due to the videos emerging from Sednaya Prison and other detainees prisons. I can't avoid watching them because we have a responsibility to document this history and show the world the kind of regime we are fighting against. The two videos I found suitable for my English-speaking audience, without being too overwhelming, feature two gentlemen who were liberated yesterday from Sednaya Prison's Red Section. Both have lost their minds and memories due to torture. The first gentleman was identified by his family; he was arrested 13 years ago while traveling by bus from his pro-revolution town to Aleppo for a medical university exam, and they had heard nothing about him since. #Syriashow more

You will never own a home. Your purpose is... to provide value to your employer. You will move thousands of miles away from your family because the jobs have been shipped to shithole countries full of third world bugmen. You will become a meaningless cog in an uncaring machine run by globalist hook nosed coin clippers and their diversity hires. Your income will be eaten up by taxes funneled to welfare for nogs and bean eaters, rent jacked up by foreign investors, and car expenses from commuting through streets overrun by illegals. One third of your life will be spent sleeping. the other third will be spent working for beans and slant eyed bugmen who undercut real wages. The last third will be mostly taken up by chores and errands while dodging urban jungle crime. You will be too exhausted to do anything meaningful with what little precious free time you have left. You will visit your family once or twice a year, watching them slowly fade away from your life until they perish in a country flooded with invaders. You are living in the most prosperous time in human history for everyone except you and your kind.show more

The world sees beauty first. She makes you remember... the strength behind it. GPT Image 2 + Seedance 2.0 on @thankyouai_hq prompt A cinematic, high-intensity fight sequence in a dark, gritty industrial warehouse at night with dim overhead lights, green peeling walls, chain-link fences, metal scaffolding, and scattered debris. A beautiful East Asian woman with long flowing black hair, visible facial scratches and intense determined expressions, is engaged in a raw, dynamic hand-to-hand combat against a male attacker in dark clothing. She wears a delicate, flowing baby pink dress (instead of her original jacket) that contrasts dramatically with the violent action — the soft pink fabric billows, swirls, and tears slightly during the fierce movements, hair whipping wildly. The sequence includes: close-ups of her fierce face and flowing hair, powerful punches and kicks with motion blur, grappling, throwing the man down, dramatic spins, hair flips, kneeling over the defeated attacker, then rising victoriously while breathing heavily. Moody teal-green color grading, realistic particle effects like dust and fabric motion, intense choreography, dramatic camera angles (handheld, tracking shots, low angles), high detail, filmic lighting, 4K cinematic quality, emotional and empowering tone. write hook captions for thisshow more

🚨🇮🇶🇺🇸🇮🇷 BREAKING: Drone pierces Baghdad's defenses and hits U.S.... diplomatic compound Six drones were launched at the Baghdad Diplomatic Support Center today. Five were shot down. The sixth got through and struck near a guard tower at one of the largest American diplomatic facilities in Iraq. The attack was likely carried out by Iran-backed Iraqi militias and underscores a brutal reality the Pentagon is still grappling with: 140 servicemembers wounded, 7 dead, embassies hit in Kuwait, Dubai, and Riyadh, and now the Baghdad compound breached. The damage assessment on the Riyadh embassy is particularly telling. Parts of the building are "unrecoverable" and have been permanently sealed off. The CIA's station on the top floor was destroyed. The U.S. can flatten every IRGC headquarters in Iran, but it can't secure its own embassies across the region from $50,000 drones. That asymmetry is the defining feature of this war, and twelve days in, Washington still hasn't solved it. Source: Washington Post / War Reportershow more

China have defeated Australia in game one of the... overseas friendlies with the host nation walking away with a 91-81 victory. Despite the double-digit loss, Australia found themselves in the game late after a huge three by Reyne Smith (video attached) putting them within two points. Unfortunately the foul game took over and China found themselves on the better end of the next few plays. Australia will take on the Netherlands tomorrow night at 9:30PM (AEST). #NBL #NBL27 #FIBAshow more

Would you jump off the world's tallest building on... purpose? Made by using Nano Banana pro + Seedance 2.0 on BudgetPixel AI image1 is the main character throughout the entire video. Use the exact face, hair, clothing, skin tone, necklace, and sneakers from image1. Identity lock enabled. Face, hair, clothing, and body proportions remain identical in every frame. A young Western woman with wavy blonde hair sits on the outer corner ledge of an observation deck high on the Burj Khalifa in Downtown Dubai, facing toward the deck. Her legs hang over the building edge while she leans her upper body backward into open air beyond the building. Handheld cinematic camera from slightly behind and beside her. Golden hour sunlight reflects across surrounding skyscrapers. She smiles naturally and says, "Damn, yesterday was crazy." She relaxes, stretches her shoulders and arms, then says, "and today we go again." She grins, looks toward the skyline, intentionally pushes herself backward off the ledge, committing to the jump. Her body rotates naturally as gravity pulls her downward along the side of the skyscraper. Physically accurate freefall with realistic acceleration, wind resistance, body weight, and momentum. Handheld follow camera dives after her with subtle natural shake. Just before reaching street level, she confidently fires a handheld grappling-rope launcher toward a nearby building. The steel hook anchors realistically to the structure. Tension builds and converts the fall into a smooth pendulum swing. She then chains three full pendulum swings in a row, one after another, releasing the line at the peak of each arc and immediately re-firing the rope. First swing arcs low between two towers, second swing whips around a building corner, third swing launches her high over Sheikh Zayed Road. Each release-and-refire is fast and continuous — swift agile maneuvering between skyscrapers with sharp directional changes and no pause between swings. The camera follows from dynamic handheld tracking angles, over-the-shoulder views, and wide aerial reveals. She swings freely, laughing and enjoying the ride. Her wavy blonde hair whips naturally in the wind. A flock of birds passes nearby. An aeroplane crosses the skyline at realistic distance and speed. Wind interacts naturally with her hoodie and hair. Final sweeping handheld shot above Dubai at sunset as she continues swinging forward and shouts loudly, "WOOHUUUU!" Audio: rooftop wind, distant city ambience, rushing air during freefall, mechanical grappling-launch sound, rope tension snap, birds flapping, aeroplane, joyful laughter, Dubai traffic far below. 4K Ultra HD, rich details, sharp clarity, cinematic texture, stable picture.

🇷🇺 In Russia, two sibling kittens, one female and... one male, quietly slipped into a house through an open door and were noticed by the homeowners. Not wanting to scare them, the homeowners slowly approached and decided to feed their tiny visitors. 🐱❤️ However, while the female kitten, frightened, took shelter in the corner by the door, her brother, without a moment's hesitation, threw himself over her, shielding her with his own body and trying to protect her. 🥺 Just look at them... Even at such a young age, the way they look out for each other is enough to melt your heart. How adorable are they! 🥹💕🐾show more

Who, beyond the well-known and much-profiled Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Zohran... Mamdani, and Jon Ossoff, are the young people most likely to rebuild the Democratic Party? The bright lights of the next generation don’t fit into easy classifications. They include a seminarian, a waitress, an oysterman, and a semiconductor heiress. There are Bernie-endorsed socialists and iconoclastic centrists. Some are eyeing a national stage, others are staying adamantly local. Some already have a decade of experience; others are fresh upstarts proving themselves. We spent months talking with professionals who recruit and support young candidates to identify the party’s next generation, and we called dozens of political operatives, consultants, and strategists—and granted them all anonymity so they could dish about the nominees candidly. The nominators didn’t all agree, and, of course, had their own perspectives and agendas, but through those conversations, we found the 25 most promising rising Democratic leaders who have yet to become household names. Armed with our list of politicians under 40, photographer Elinor Kry hit the road in a minivan to meet and photograph a dozen or so of the next generation of Democrats. Kry shot her portfolio over a month, hauling a tufted armchair onto boats, truck beds, football fields, construction sites, and suburban cul-de-sacs to capture these officials and candidates on their home turf. Not all of these hopefuls will win their elections this month or next year, but all are worth watching. Although they don’t run the country yet, the visions of these young politicians speak to the problems the party is grappling with: how to deliver on working-class issues, expand the party’s tent while holding onto its values, and stand up to the current administration:show more

Before online gaming and widespread broadband internet, we had... LAN parties. You would haul your 80 lb CRT, computer tower, and peripherals over to your friend's house and hook them up on a makeshift desk. Then you would proceed to take the next 3 hours installing the game and game crack you wanted to play with your friends; by this point it was 11 pm and no real gaming had occurred yet. At around 1 am you would be mid game and someone would get hungry - so everyone would head down to Taco Bell for a late night snack. It was the best of times.show more
