In moments when the world proves a touch ill-mannered... and one’s patience rather thin, it seems only sensible to retreat to a far more civilised remedy, adorning the Lady of the Manor with something suitably splendid. One must, after all, meet vulgarity with beauty. A most exceptional ruby and diamond cluster presents itself for the task. At its heart a 3.2 carat natural, unheated Madagascar ruby, glowing with that deep, conspiratorial red that suggests both romance and a hint of mischief. It is encircled by a halo of brilliant-cut diamonds, with elegant double baguette diamond shoulders completing the composition. Altogether a deliciously opulent bauble, quite incapable of solving the world’s unpleasantness of course… but magnificently suited to enhancing the Lady’s already ineffable beauty, which feels, under the circumstances, a far better use of one’s attention. 📽️jw_weldon always delivers.show more

Elizabeth Taylor receiving her Cartier diamond and ruby suite... from husband Mike Todd in 1957 💍🩶 PS: Notice Eddie Fisher in the pool ! “We had rented a villa, La Fiorentina, just outside Monte Carlo near St.-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, about three months into our marriage.” Elizabeth recalled in her book, ‘My Love Affair with Jewellery’. “I was in the pool, swimming laps at our home, and Mike came outside to keep me company. I got out of the pool and put my arms around him, and he said, ‘Wait a minute, don’t joggle your tiara.’ Because I was wearing my tiara in the pool! He was holding a red leather box, and inside was a ruby necklace, which glittered in the warm light. It was like the sun, lit up and made of red fire. First, Mike put it round my neck and smiled. Then he bent down and put matching earrings on me. Next came the bracelet. Since there was no mirror around, I had to look into the water. The jewelry was so glorious, ripping red on blue like a painting. I just shrieked with joy, put my arms around Mike’s neck, and pulled him into the pool after me. It was a perfect summer day and a day of perfect love.” The 3 piece set was sold separately at Christie’s Auction in 2011. The Cartier Collection bought the necklace for $3,778,500, and the earrings and bracelet were sold to a private buyer for $782,500 and $842,500.show more

This is Taba Tahani - a 16 year old... who courageously posted anti Islamic Republic and pro Israel content on his IG from within Iran. He has been arrested and his page taken down by the IRGC for singing hatikva in solidarity with Israel. He is most likely being tortured beyond what we can comprehend in the US. Iranian Jewish solidarity is important now more than ever. SPEAK UP FOR #TABATAHANIshow more

🔥IVY TOKENS WILL BE BURNED TO MAKE IT THE... FIRST DEFLATIONARY MEME ON HEDERA🔥 IMPORTANT: The $IVY token will be deflationary Yep, IVY, the guardian of the hashgraph, just announced one of its first token burn sources, in partnership with ĦONKbot Read the announcement carefully, and in the next tweets, we'll explain how to use HonkBot First off, we wanna say that we're designing several burn sources for IVY tokens. Here's the first one 🌱🔥 On all chains, Telegram bots are pretty popular, from Banana on Ethereum to Trojan on Solana. They're handy tools that let you buy assets easily, right from your Telegram. By signing up with the code for HonkBot, ALL the fees generated from referrals will be used to buy back IVY tokens and send that amount to a burn wallet 💰 So, the more you use the bot, the more fees are generated, which means more IVY buybacks and more tokens sent to be burned This is just one of the many burn sources we've got planned for IVY. If you don't know how to use a Telegram bot, don't sweat it, we'll walk you through it next. Watch the video and turn up the volume.show more

Catching up on the CES 2026 updates from Insta360,... and the new Link 2 Pro and Link 2C Pro feel very aligned with how creators and professionals actually work today. What stood out to me is the focus on control without complexity. From cleaner image quality (even in low light) to smart tracking and auto-framing that doesn’t feel distracting, these webcams seem built for real-world hybrid setups. The Elgato Stream Deck integration, as highlighted by Louis Peeters at CES, is a nice touch too, being able to control camera modes and framing with a single tap makes a real difference during live sessions. Overall, it’s less about flashy features and more about making on camera work smoother and more intentional. Looking forward to seeing these in action when they roll out later this month. #CES2026 #Insta360 #CreatorTools #HybridWork #LiveStreamingshow more

the sealnars housed at the "exxon-mobil aquarium and rehabilitation... center" in billings, montana have recovered quite well from their recent bout of "red mode"! though still a little evil and aggressive, their malicious tendencies and nefarious ideations have assuaged quite considerably over the past week! yes, it feels like quite long ago when these glowing-red little dinklets decided to fashion a rudimentary high-intensity photon cannon, out of little more than a stuffed animal and some loose wire! and those pagan rituals in the main courtyard, though quite convincing, feel almost like a funny memory! today, their vitals will be checked for any lingering signs of "red mode" in their body. if all looks good, then they will be put back on track for release, later this May!

004/100 Buttons. A bit of the process on building... an animation. When looking at a finished animation or in this example a finished button, it can look quite complex inside the CSS. But when building it, it’s more like a lot of simple steps, one after another. Here I had the idea to make some kind of text animation like the footer logo on the Osmo site. I try to add the base animation with no complex easing, for example transition: translate 0.4s ease. Starting with just moving the one text from bottom to top and the other text to top. Adding a stagger, play around with it. Searching for a way to make it more circular. On the research I found the sin() function inside CSS which can build a more smooth non linear curve for the stagger which creates this circular effect. And step by step adding more complexity like, different easing for hover/hover-out, opacity, 3D transform and more. I use also the sin() function to rotate the letters, so the middle ones are getting more rotated than the outer ones. Another thing which helps is to add a small delay on hover, for example 0.05s or 0.1s, you don’t really see the difference, but when you hover pretty fast on and out it doesn’t get that jumpy. I’m using here GSAP’s SplitText to split every char into spans. And then I’m adding a CSS index variable to every span, starting from the center. SplitText can provide CSS index variables, but you cannot tell it from which direction. For the sin() it’s also important to have a max length, so I add another CSS variable with the max char number on it. Crafting 100 Buttons with Osmo ⏳ Total time: 63hshow more

Exciting scenes yesterday in Rinville, Co Galway with an... extremely rare #angelshark sighted by a local kayaking group, in the shores surrounding the Marine Institute HQ! We are delighted to have confirmed the sighting of one of the rarest sharks in Europe. Ronan Breathnach and Colm O’Loan @irishcharcoal are the two kayak instructors from the Galway Bay Sailing Club who shot this footage. What a great day out for the group of 12 budding marine scientist of the future that they took out on the water yesterday! Not only did they get to explore the marine environment in a non-invasive way, but they also got to see a critically endangered marine animal. #Marine #kayaking #diving #Galway #Fish #Sharkshow more

“Gifts” from our Czech friends to the russians —... delivered🫡 4 tanks, an unmanned ground vehicle, a buggy, and a van were destroyed by drones purchased with the support of the Czech organization Dárek pro Putina — and these are just the first results of our cooperation. Most importantly, many russians became “good” ones — because there’s no escaping a fiber-optic drone😉 We sincerely thank our Czech friends for their support. These drones continue to effectively eliminate the enemy on the hottest sections of the frontline. More to come🤝show more

Stop trading time for rest. Start using light for... recovery. The biggest mistake athletes make in 2026? Thinking "recovery" only happens while you’re asleep. What I’m holding here is a Photobiomodulation (PBM) device—and the data behind it is a total game changer for anyone trying to stay on the field and out of the doctor's office. THE SCIENCE OF THE "BIO-HACK": Most recovery tools just mask pain. PBM actually repairs tissue at the mitochondrial level. Here’s the data-driven truth on how it works: 1️⃣ The Mitochondrial Battery: Red and Near-Infrared light photons are absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase. This triggers a massive spike in ATP production (cellular energy), effectively "supercharging" your body’s ability to repair micro-trauma in half the time. 2️⃣ Inflammation Shutdown: PBM dissociates Nitric Oxide from your mitochondria, allowing oxygen to flood back into the tissue. Result? A 50% reduction in DOMS and faster clearance of metabolic waste. 3️⃣ The Ergogenic Edge: Running this over a non-injured muscle before a workout increases muscle workload capacity and fatigue resistance. It’s essentially a legal "biological cheat code" for endurance. THE DATA 📊: Injury Recovery: Speeds up soft tissue healing by up to 2x. Performance: Studies show a measurable increase in power output and reps to failure when used as a "pre-conditioning" tool. Safety: Non-invasive, drug-free, and now the "Gold Standard" in professional locker rooms from the NFL to Special Forces. Stop waiting for your body to heal itself slowly. Use the light. 💡 Save this for your next rehab session and share with an athlete who is tired of being sidelined.show more

Benjamin Benny Rapoza was reported missing from Hilo, Hawaii,... on 20 December 2019 at the age of five. He is a non verbal autistic child. His family has endured years without resolution. A video now circulating asserts that a disturbing clip found among the Epstein materials depicts a boy bearing a striking resemblance to Benny half his face painted green and red, positioned beside an adult male in a pink wig with matching paint. Hawaii Police explicitly addressed this same footage in 2020, stating that the juvenile shown is not Benny Rapoza. Yet the questions persist. Why does this imagery continue to surface in connection with the Epstein files? Why has comprehensive public clarification and closure remained elusive for more than six years? We do not do coincidence when the protection of children and the exposure of predatory networks are concerned. Full transparency requires that every lead, every anomaly, and every potential link to missing minors be rigorously examined and disclosed. Justice for Benny, for his family, and for every victim is non negotiable!show more

Footage of the initial start of the fires in... Lahaina, Maui. #hawaii #wildfire No official cause has been released yet but class action lawsuits have already been opened by multiple law firms, suing the local utility and power companies for their roll in the tragedy. The class action lawsuit alleges that downed power lines that MECO, HECO, HELCO, and HEI owned and operated caused the fire. “The utilities also failed to deenergize their power lines prior to the fire, despite warnings days before that high winds from Hurricane Dora would create "high fire danger." On the day of the fire, the National Weather Service issued a High Wind Warning and Red Flag Warning.” There is still a lot to be determined with this fire, but it’s clear the devastation to the community will be felt for years. The death toll is now up to 80 people. This will likely rise.show more

I'm launching an urgent fundraiser to support engineering equipment... for our frontline efforts, and I need your help. Please donate, like, share, and comment—every bit of support is crucial. You can find the donation link at the end of this message. The situation on the front lines is incredibly challenging. Errors by political and military leaders, combined with slow support from the West, have led to significant losses in both territory and lives in the Pokrovsk axis. While we can't always change the decisions made by our leaders, we can make a real difference by providing our soldiers with essential engineering equipment. For instance, I personally have reservations about the operation in Kursk for my own reasons. However, I am fully committed to doing everything I can to save Ukrainian lives during this operation. That’s why one of Liberty Ukraine Foundation 🇺🇸🇺🇦’s excavators is already at work at the new positions on that axis. Our efforts to save soldiers' lives should remain focused regardless of individual opinions on tactical or strategic decisions made by our Ukrainian leadership. Thanks to the fundraising efforts of Liberty Ukraine Foundation 🇺🇸🇺🇦, we have already transferred or are in the process of transferring over 8 excavators. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with engineering, infantry, and artillery units reporting that this equipment is saving many lives. On both the Kursk and Pokrovsk axes, the front lines are constantly shifting, which makes the need for excavating equipment even more critical. This equipment allows our forces to adapt quickly and operate more effectively. Our goal is to raise 🎯 $110,000. I know this is a substantial amount, but we've successfully raised even more in the past, and this equipment is making a significant impact right now. donation link 🔗 Thank you for your support.show more

🚨🧵1/ REVEALED: A MEGA SCAM FOR THE FAKE PRO... PALESTINE MOVEMENT: you might hear that this is about a “human mistake” / Karaoke nonsense / cancel culture victims / Spaces drama etc. But it’s really, IMO, about so much more. This will be a long and deep dive. For those of you who still haven’t realized that deception is not a random “mistake” but rather a concept for the fake “pro Palestinian” movement- orchestrated to fabricate and promote a fake genocide narrative only to justify profiting from it and also to support a global criminal terrorist organizations- you are not there yet. You don’t see the truth yet. I hope that you get there, because this is what Israel has been fighting for more than a year instead of focusing only on saving our people and our country, and on recovering from a genocidal brutal attack on October 7th that some evil people call “resistance”. Stealing, lying, fabricating facts and emotionally extorting people to believe that the criminals are the victims and the victims are the aggressors- is exactly what they’ve done to Israel and to Zionists/ Jews in general. There are endless evidence of that mechanism- you can see a small fraction of it on GAZAWOOD - the PALLYWOOD saga The children in Gaza ARE suffering and ARE victims of this situation- but their true oppressors and abusers are the Gaza death cult: the Muslim brotherhood (Hamas mainly) - that are followed by, celebrated and supported by the adults in Gaza (“Palestinians”), by the UN institutions in Gaza and by many others complicit in this Iranian / Qatari criminal industry. For years, but mostly since October 7th - they have been terrorizing the Israeli / Jewish people, then committed a genocidal attack on us, followed by robbing us of facts, validation of the crimes they did to us, of our history, and then bullying us with more lies and fabrications. At the center of this new scam on social media (one of many scam campaigns) - was the leading “angle voice” for pro Palestine: Maze (@ MazeLove14). This is not a mistake and not random, it’s malicious and professional. And it looks like she wasn’t working alone in deception. Apparently she stole many voices and claimed that it’s her voice and performance - then raised donations with it, but there was one talented covers singer that she used the most. Meet the main victim here: a talented performer called Samantha Harvey , with more than 2.3 million subscribers on YouTube (this cover performance was also stolen by Maze)- you can find her here: On both clips it’s her voice, her performance, on one of them Maze claimed it’s her live performance >>show more
