She pays $200 a month for her Pilates class.... The studio pays her $18,000 a month for the videos she films during it. She's a member, not an employee. She shows up to the class she'd attend anyway, films a few minutes on her phone, and goes home. That footage is the entire business. Boutique Pilates and yoga studios charge $200+ a month and have some of the worst content on the internet - beautiful spaces, dead Instagram feeds. They know they need video. They have no idea how to make it week after week. So when one member quietly showed them what their own studio could look like, they didn't ask the price. They asked when she could start. Now she films one class and AI does everything that used to need a team: cuts it into 20 reels, writes every caption in the studio's voice, builds the 30-day calendar, and sends the monthly report that gets the contract renewed. The only human part left is being on the mat, which she already is. Here's why the numbers work. One new member is worth ~$2,400 a year to that studio. So a $3,000/month content retainer isn't a cost to them, it's a rounding error against the members it brings in. 6 studios at ~$3,000 each. $18,000 a month. Her tools: $40. That gap doesn't move whether she has one studio or ten. Every other woman in that class is filming the same thing for her own page and getting nothing for it. The only difference is she pointed hers at the studios and let AI carry the 90% that used to cost a five-person agency. There are boutique studios like this in every city, all starving for content, all signing one supplier and never looking again. The full playbook - niches, how to find them, how to close them - is right below. Save it before someone claims your city first👇show more

Defendant in “Crocus” Terror Case Claims the Quran Was... Interpreted to Him Differently One of the defendants in the “Crocus” terror attack case stated that after reading the Quran, he realized it had been previously interpreted to him in a completely different way. This was reported to Zvezda by the lawyer of Dalerzhon Mirzoev*, Oleg Vlasov. According to Vlasov, the defendants are not covering for each other during interrogations, but at times, they do not immediately disclose certain details. “The investigator asked one of them, ‘Why didn’t you tell me this earlier?’ And he responded, ‘You didn’t ask.’ He simply answered. But there’s no attempt to hide anything,” Vlasov explained. The lawyer also revealed that the suspects initially considered other targets for the attack, including the “Moscow” Trade and Fair Complex, the “Belaya Dacha” shopping center, and a synagogue. They visited these locations, took photos, and studied security measures, which ultimately led to their identification. - ZNshow more

Met my girlfriend's parents for the first time. Her... dad shook my hand. "So what do you do?" "Building trading systems." "Like Wall Street?" "No. Open-source. Anyone can audit the code." He laughed. "So you code for free?" "No sir. The code makes money." "Sure it does." I didn't argue. I opened my laptop. One wallet I was tracking made $11,400 in 19 days. Another moved $5.3M in volume. One more had a 74% winrate across 214 trades. Sharpe 2.31. I didn't touch it once. He stopped smiling. "That's... from a script?" Exactly. Then I showed him the repos. All free. All public. First: 86M+ trades on Polymarket. Every outcome since day one. Free to download. Second: Market making bot. Both sides of the book. Gas optimized. Google Sheets execution. Third: ML + heuristics. I fed 14,000 wallets into Claude. One prompt. 4 minutes. Found 47 traders with 70%+ winrate. Bot mirrors them with 60-second delay. He went quiet for a long time. Then: "How long have you been doing this?" "Eight months." "And you didn't tell my daughter?" I didn't have a good answer. Her mom asked for the links before dessert.

My girlfriend's parents came over for dinner Saturday. First... time at my place. Her dad walked in. Looked around. Saw the laptop, the second monitor, the three terminal panels. "So this is where you work." "Yeah." "What, just the laptop?" "Just the laptop. And the repos." He raised an eyebrow. "Repos?" "Open-source. Anyone can audit the code." He laughed. "So you code for free?" "No sir. The code makes money." "Sure it does." I didn't argue. I opened my laptop. One wallet I was tracking turned $640 into $11,800 in 31 days. Another flipped 287 trades with 76% winrate. One more pulled $3.4M in volume in two weeks. He put his beer down. "That's... from a script?" Exactly. Then I showed him the repos. All free. All public.

But someone called the police and he was luckily arrested on the train before it departed Prosecutors told the family it was a 'slam dunk' case and the boy would be prosecuted for murder, if not, at least manslaughter The family claim the judge mislead the jury during the trial and they claim it is one of the most shocking miscarriages of justice they've known I hope the family get justice for Aria And I hope the UK legal system gets a massive overhaul with judge's held accountable for their appalling actions May you rest in peace Aria 🙏show more

This guys money has been locked on Exness for... about 2 months. Exness is not a prop firm. Exness, you are frustrating this dude, and it’s so bad and unacceptable to the entire trading community. This guy has submitted everything asked of him the first and second time, so why are you still holding his money? I honestly do not know why someone will fund money in a broker, trade, make profit, and when it’s time to withdraw, they ask for source of funds. Source of funds for how much? If this continues, how are we to trust Exness with our money? Because this can happen to anyone. Exness, I reached out to you personally, and nothing was done about it. Hence the reason I’m bringing this here for the second time, and I’m sounding so pained because I understand how one can feel about this. The funniest thing is that this guy trades for people, and those people are on his neck, meanwhile Exness is holding the money. I think it’s high time we consider Exness a bad broker for doing this. No trust with our funds anymore.show more

A witness's memoir. The first days of a full-scale... war. Massacre on the Zhytomyr highway, Kyiv region. Every Ukrainian killed by Russian soldiers is not a number. It is a person, people. Read this memoir. We were driving in the opposite lane. Almost as soon as we entered the stretch [of the Zhytomyr highway towards Kyiv - ed.] we heard shots. We stopped, the car was not moving. Maksym jumped out and started waving: "There are children here! Children!" It was all in front of me. He fell down. Ksenia started to rattle. Once, twice. Hordii said: "Why is mom rattling?" I turned around and took Hordii. I put him [in the driver's seat] and covered him [with myself]. I got a bullet (points to his right forearm - ed.). They were shooting for a long time. And then there was silence. I opened the door and there were Buryats with machine guns... I realized that they were Russians. I said immediately: "There are children here, don't shoot, please, there are children here." And they: "The child first". Hordii went out, but I couldn't go out... I got out and saw Maksym's legs. I wanted to approach him, but [the Russian] did not let me pass. He said: "That's it! That's it!" I started saying, "Ksenia is here! Mom is behind!" He looked: "Cover the child's eyes". I covered Hordii's eyes, I had a shawl. And he took us in that direction (to the area behind the gas station - ed.). There was a pit there. I asked him [the Russian who brought us]: "Are you serious now? Don't do that." And he said: "I'm sorry. My child is also six years old. I'm sorry." I thought they were going to shoot us. But a Russian officer appeared behind the pit and shouted: "Who opened fire? Who shot? Who brought her here?" I started to tell him: "We were on our way, we evacuated, they are shooting... we have children...", "You had no identification marks". I said: "We had white ones... and [the inscription] 'children' both in front and behind". Someone behind me said: "What are you going to do with them?" He looked me in the eye for so long, and then said: "Let them go." They took us out through the gas station and we left with Hordii. Another Buryat took Hordii in his arms and asked, "What's your name?" "'Hordii'. "I'm sorry, I know you won't forgive me, but I'm sorry." I think he was the one who shot and killed my parents.

I think some people are just not ready to... read this, so feel free to skip🫴🏼 The thing is, you don’t want to admit that Serhat is a human too just because he’s a man. And I will stick to that sentence and repeat it as much as I can. Not to convince you, but because it’s a fact. If you ask Ercan the last 2 episodes could literally be titled: “How to emotionally break Serhat in every possible way.” If you’ve been paying attention from the beginning, you would already know how his character is built. He’s someone who was never allowed to express his emotions. Yes, he was treated “better” as the heir but what does “better” even mean here? He wasn’t protected, he was programmed. Forced to suppress everything, to carry responsibility, to stay in control at all times. And that stayed with him. And when you grow up like that, you attract people who treat you the same way. That’s exactly what happened with M. She treated him in that same controlled, restrictive way. The only person who didn’t was Yıldız. From the very beginning, she saw the real him the vulnerable him. No matter how high he built his walls, she could still see through him. And that scared him. Not because he doubts her, but because he’s not used to being seen like that. Every time someone saw even a fraction of his softness, they used it against him (Akif, Sultan, M…all of them.) Yıldız wouldn’t do that, he knows it. But that doesn’t change the fact that having someone understand you that deeply feels overwhelming. It’s human. Now, about the hospital incident and the lack of communication… Both of them are right and wrong at the same time. This isn’t about blaming one side. Some situations are just the result of circumstances, not fault. And if you actually watch the show because you care about the characters, you’ll understand that. The lack of communication from the previous episode clearly showed in the office scene this episode. Yildiz moved forward, trying to hold onto their promise to trust each other, to let their word be one. But he was still stuck in that moment. Not because he held grudge against her, but because he knows that one small action( her taking the gun) led to much bigger consequences. And they both know that. And most importantly they are exhausted! Everything started when he went to kordağli’s mansion last ep . Then M told him she would marry his enemy and give his child his name. Then his Ortak was shot, and he had to carry him to the hospital and operate on him while injured!(an injury that was caused my Aşir himself!) almost losing him. He broke down alone!! no one even saw that because this is how Serhat is used to be🙂‍↕️ Then he started suspecting his own brother. Then yilidz rose the gun in front of the other ağas and that’s when all the pressure and the responsibility of maintaining control and respect not just in his family, but as an Ağa, crushed him at once! Then Yıldız was jailed because of M & the next day it was confirmed that Akif shot Aşir and he discovered his betrayal with nida and hast to give his own brother to death! Because that’s what morally correct! And then Hicran First, she was someone he was supposed to protect cuz Aşir told him to protect her. Then suddenly, she is his sister. And just as quickly, she was dying. He found out his own mother was behind her suffering. He didn’t get time to process any of it. The guilt alone is enough to destroy someone. Knowing she was always there, part of his life, and he didn’t know. That he couldn’t protect her. That he couldn’t repay her. And it didn’t stop there… He lost his status. He was manipulated by M. He was pushed further and further. Then came the final blow Hicran’s brain death. And right after that, he had to face the reality of her being an organ donor. And then… her heart goes to her killer… Anyway, since you’re all acting like superhuman creatures and these situations wouldn’t affect you at all if you were in his place then go ahead, have at it.show more

🚨🚨CHARLIE KIRK CRIME SCENE PART 2 Candace Owens ELIZABETH... LANE The Dan Merrell Interview: Yesterday, as many of you saw, I posted after interviewing several people involved in the crime scene cleanup. I learned the cleanup was treated as a biohazard, which explained why the University handled it the way they did. I shared receipts and questioned whether Dan Merrell had even been there. I was quickly corrected by Sup Citizen who provided proof that Dan was indeed on site. Dan is the contractor whose interview sparked many conspiracy theories about who ordered the cleanup and how quickly it was done. This led to a lot of speculation about the speed of the work. Today I had an extensive interview with him. I found Dan to be honest, sincere, and clearly devastated by Charlie Kirk’s murder. Before getting into the details, here’s some context: During our conversation, Dan said a few things that I realized could cause him problems. I interrupted and asked, “Dan, we are on the record here — would you like me to keep that off the record?” He immediately said yes, and I respected that. Those comments may have materially changed the tone of this interview even more. For those who doubt my integrity, I have had private conversations with Buckley Carlson and others. I’ve even received recordings I could have posted, but I deleted them when asked. I don’t burn sources. In the interview, I asked Dan point blank: Did the FBI or the Governor call you or contact you in any way? He replied: “No.” Do you have direct knowledge that the FBI or Governor called anyone involved at the scene? He again said: "No." Dan then told me: “My words are being twisted so badly. The shit I’m enduring — my wife and I — this is insane.” He expressed deep regret for getting involved and especially for an emotional video he made right after the assassination. “You’ve probably seen it. I wish I hadn’t. It was such an emotional time.” (I have never seen the video) He described the constant harassment he and his family have faced. When I asked about the person who claimed the FBI and Governor ordered the rushed cleanup, Dan said, “I think he was really trying to make himself look like a big shot. He was a strange guy… a few things he did, I don’t know why.” (I would later come to the same conclusion after more interviews) Dan confirmed he was only a small part of the cleanup. The job was minor — he wasn’t even sure how much they billed. When I told him I had the invoice (roughly $6k), he verified it was accurate. He was contacted on September 14 — four days after the assassination — via text from a University employee. None of the messages mentioned the FBI or Governor. (Dan read me the text messages aloud) I asked if the FBI took any soil as evidence. He said no. An uncle of one of the crew members hauled the biohazard soil to an approved disposal site. (Dan did not witness this personally he described a 550? as hauling away the soil, again, he could not state as fact) When I asked if FBI or investigators were present while he worked, he said, “I’m not sure. There were some guys up there — security — but I don’t know for sure.” Dan is very aware his name is now tied to the “exploding mic” theory and other conspiracies. He feels his words have been distorted and manipulated. He asked me directly if he came across as misleading in the Jimmy Rex podcast. I told him no — he never stated as fact that the Governor or FBI ordered a rushed cleanup. I proceeded to tell him that people seem to draw their own conclusions. We proceeded to talk about how his words were being portrayed with certain podcasters. On Candace Owens, Dan said: “Candace has a way of… putting out a theory, then changing… you know…” (He agreed when I said she avoids painting herself into a corner.) During our discussion, Dan advised that Most people in his area believe Tyler Robinson did it. Dan’s personal view: “I don’t think a .30-06 did that damage. I just don’t think it’s possible.” We had a detailed discussion about the wound and the exact area where Charlie fell. Dan confirmed Charlie was under a pop-up tent on the grass — not on a raised platform. The paving work was done just outside the main blood-soaked area. (some people thought Charlie was on stage/platform and therefore the blood-soaked scene was exaggerated) He expressed amazement that someone could get into that shooting position without being noticed. We agreed on this point. We both agreed that this shot was straight-on, and a genuine point of concern. (How was he NOT spotted?) We mulled the possibilities. (I would get an answer later) I asked Dan if anyone had reached out to him, any of the current investigators, podcasters, journalists to ask him anything since he has come back into the focus of the investigation again. He replied, "All of these idiots saying things, you are the FIRST person to actually call me to verify any of this." At this point, I expressed shock, surely someone would have reached out to him, I repeated my question, he said adamantly "no, nobody has reached out, you are the first and only, I regret the entire thing." "We were coming together as a community for Charlie; this has been hard." This interview made one thing clear to me: Charlie was killed on September 10. The FBI had the scene for approximately three full days and eight hours before releasing it. The University was closed through at least that Sunday. (Although it appears some people did get access) Dan strikes me as an honest, hard-working man. Nothing about his answers felt rehearsed. He should not be harassed, accused, or made fun of. I’ve attached a clip of the ground crew cleaning the area. I cannot make out the words in the video, but this video seems is claimed to have been taken while the University was closed. It is not the greatest quality, but it seems genuine. I will continue releasing more interviews with witnesses, UVU police, and additional crew members. Today was long and productive. But the important thing to take away--I would learn in an interview later, that the FBI/Governor making any calls is based on a single source, who when pressed, would not show any evidence. My UVU Campus Police interview was abruptly cut short. I will detail this soon. My fear is that it will feed into the conspiracy theorists more, but I have to report what I am told accurately. No matter where this goes, I’m here for it. I appreciate respectful discourse even from those who disagree. When I make opinion posts, they are pretty clear. But when I do interview posts, I stick to the facts. Dan and I agreed to talk again. Feel Free to drop any questions you may want asked, I will let you know with a reply.show more

Oh look, the DEI Queen of Lies in my... comments. I have a banger video for you tomorrow proving once again that you lied all while crying... "WOE IS ME", like the victim method actor that you are. You didn't text Harpole until December 17, a full 8 days AFTER you defamed him with your Ft. Huachuca premiere on December 9. You also proved you had his contact info but showed such disregard for the truth that you didn't text him before airing that episode. You first reached out on December 17, only after hearing he planned to sue you. You further proved malice by airing the Mitch Snow interview on December 18 without hearing from him and with no proof he was there. You met with Erika on December 15—six days after airing the Ft. Huachuca story—while in contact with Mitch Snow, the son of the Zodiac Killer, yet never asked her if she was at Ft. Huachuca during that 4-hour meeting. Three days later, you aired the Mitch Snow interview implicating Erika Kirk in Charlie's assassination. You then claimed "Vet bros" were threatening you not to interview him, which is laughable since everything you cited as proof came after your episode aired. Those texts reference "Mitch." No one knew who Mitch was before December 18. They also reference the GiveSendGo account and specifically $130K, which was after the interview. Your own allies—Ian Carroll, Evan Kilgore, and VFT—warned you Mitch lied to you, but now you call that a threat. 😂 You want to use all those facts and cry victim that you were entrapped into a defamation lawsuit. Your own stupidity and ignorance did that. I hope Harmeet K. Dhillon and Dhillon Law Group watched your Wednesday show. I think it turns a good lawsuit into a slam dunk. Keep lying that I was paid by TPUSA or directed by Andrew Kolvet and you'll face another lawsuit. It's a lie and you know it. Watching you crash and burn after grifting off Charlie's corpse, trying to destroy his legacy and family, is glorious. I'm here for it. 🍿 Here's a video clip to remind the world how sure you were of the "evidence" you were providing and stating they were "facts" while defaming Brian Harpole.show more

"On Thursday he called me to sit with his... friends, something he usually wouldn't do. He told me how proud he was of me, that I was a fighter and that I was his pride. I didn't understand why he was telling me all this.” Bar Asraf's sister Lihi shared a memory of her brother. This weekend, Bar took his own life at the grave of his girlfriend, Liron Barda z"l. Liron was murdered by Hamas at the Nova massacre on October 7th. Last Wednesday, Bar danced at his brother Maor's wedding. Family members say he was happy, sang, hugged everyone, and was moved by the celebration. On Saturday, the family had gathered at their home. "At noon, he wanted to go to the pool," recalled Lihi. "We said we didn't have a membership, so he said, 'Okay.' When we couldn't find him, we started searching on foot. We thought about where he might be, and we said we'd go to Liron's grave. At first, I didn't see him. Then I saw him lying there. I shouted, 'Bar, get up!'" "Only then did I understand what had happened. At first, I was even afraid that they had killed him. I didn't understand what I was seeing." Bar's family said he and Liron were soulmates. "Liron would come to us all the time, especially on Tuesdays when Mom would make couscous. When he was on a trip to Colombia, she even flew in to surprise him. They were soulmates." Lihi shared that after Liron's murder, "At first he didn't sleep for a week, didn't talk, didn't eat, and didn't laugh. Then slowly he began to recover." "He went back to laughing, talking to people, and spreading Liron's love. He would organize meals for soldiers in her memory, and on Passover he organized the distribution of packages to the needy. He was a person who was always helping others." Bar's mother shared: "Liron was everything to him. She was his best friend and his psychologist. It was important to him to tell her about everything he did. After she was murdered, he would come to the cemetery almost every day. I told him not to go all the time, but only when he really felt the need to go and talk to her, and he listened." "Two months ago he was sitting in the living room and crying. I asked him, 'What happened?' and he told me: 'Mom, it's hard for me without Liron. There's no one to replace her. I miss her.' He hugged me and cried a cry I'll never forget, loudly." "Bar was a boy who loved life. He had a huge heart. He cared so much for his siblings and supported them," Bar's mother said. "On Shabbat, a few hours before leaving the house, he sat with me, ate some of the cakes I made and said to me: 'Mom, only you can organize something like [the wedding celebration], and make sure that nothing is missing.' Then I told him I was going to rest. He told me, 'You deserve it' - and when I went to bed, he just left." Bar's mother said to everyone mourning him: "Remember Bar not because of his tragic end, but because of his huge heart.”show more

I stepped inside the shelter and asked a question... most people never voice: "Which dog here has been waiting the longest?" eg The woman at the front desk didn't smile or reach for paperwork. She exhaled slowly, as if the weight of that question pressed down on her. "Okay," she said quietly, then grabbed a set of keys and started walking without checking if I was following. We passed the bright, bustling areas first-puppies bouncing with excitement, friendly dogs pressing against gates, that hopeful energy that makes adoption feel easy. But we kept moving. Down a quieter hallway. Somehow colder, even though it was the same building. The lights buzzed overhead I, every sound echoing off the concrete. "Most people don't come back here," she said. Her name tag read Maya. "I figured," I replied. She nodded slightly, as if she'd already known. At the very end, she stopped at a kennel that felt too big for the dog inside. He had that look older dogs get-not small or fragile, just worn down by time. His coat was faded, gray settling around his face. One ear drooped slightly, as if even holding it up had become too much. His eyes were cloudy, but not empty. They were still searching. Not for toys or attention. For something that mattered. Heaned closer to read the card. Max. 16 years old. Pitbull mix. Quiet. Senior. Overlooked. Notes about needing a calm home, soft food, patience-the kind of words shelters use when they're trying to stay neutral while quietly hoping someone will care. Sixteen. For most people, that number feels like a ticking clock. Max didn't try to impress me. No barking. No jumping. He just sat there. Still. Steady. Like he'd already decided he wouldn't beg to be chosen. Maya spoke softly. "He's been passed over more times than I can count." "Why?" I asked, even though I already knew. She glanced at the card. "Because people don't want something that comes with an ending they can already see." That stayed with me. Because it wasn't just about him. We all tend to choose what feels safe. What won't hurt too soon. What doesn't ask too much. But Max wasn't safe. He was real. Maya unlocked the kennel. I expected hesitation-maybe fear. But Max stepped out slowly, like he wasn't sure he was allowed to anymore. He paused, looked at me, and let out a long, quiet breath. Not frustration. Relief. I knelt without thinking. He didn't rush. He moved carefully, like every step mattered. When he reached me, he didn't jump or wag wildly. He simply rested his head against my chest. Not asking. Just... leaning. Like he'd been holding everything in for so long and finally didn't have to anymore. Maya cleared her throat. "He does that sometimes," she said, though her voice wavered. I noticed a folded piece of paper tucked behind his kennel card. "What's that?" I asked. "It came with him," she said softly. "I forget it's there sometimes." I didn't open it yet. Max was still leaning into me, and I didn't want to break the moment. The drive home was quiet. He didn't whine or pace. He curled up beside me like he trusted the motion of the car. At a stoplight, I glanced over-his paws tucked neatly under him, completely still. He wasn't trying to leave. He was trying to stay. When we got home, he stepped inside slowly, taking it all in like he was memorizing it. Then he came over to me. And leaned again. Just contact. Like he needed to know I wouldn't disappear. I finally unfolded the paper. If someone chooses him, please tell him he was a good dog. He wasn't left behind because he wasn't loved. Life just got in the way. Please let him rest somewhere he can feel seen. I read it twice. Then I looked at Max. He had climbed onto the couch, turning in a slow circle before settling down with a soft sigh. I sat beside him and placed my hand near his head. He leaned into it and closed his eyes. And in that moment, something became clear. Max didn't need a new life. He needed peace. " That night, he slept on something soft. No noise. No cold floors. 👇show more
