According to Bollywood, sex with husband is marital rape.... Sex before marriage and outside of marriage is empowerment. Firstly, stop blaming women for this content; the directors and makers of both this and Chiraiya are men. It's always the simps; they rub their fantasies and try to normalize it. Whatever empowerment narrative women talk about today, simps are behind it. It's never about men vs women; the real enemies are simps, women don't have an ideology. They lean towards stuff that is portrayed as progressive and validates them. Simps from the West and India are the real masterminds behind all of this, women are just puppets. Let masculine men take over the media and power, you will see women being modest again.show more

Story behind the story: A video of a young... woman with a congenital disorder showing off fresh breast removal scars has gone viral.

LeRoy, a Minneapolis-based 19-year-old who changed her name to Micah LeRoy. The woman has an extremely woke, anti-Trump leftist activist mother. Mara is also surrounded by others who record videos and photos of her medical and surgical transition for social media. Leftist Minnesota state rep. @RepAliciaMN had met with Mara and her mother in a post celebrating the eradication of sex-based rights in her state.show more

After 62 years of independence, Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 had... only 3,642 km of paved roads—a stark symbol of the infrastructure neglect that has long hindered Africa's progress. Today, under the bold, visionary leadership of President Ibrahim Traoré, a true son of the African soil, Burkina Faso is rewriting that story with fierce determination and pan-African pride. He has launched an ambitious drive to construct **5,000 km** of high-quality tarred roads **every year**, shattering decades of stagnation and signaling Africa's refusal to wait for external saviors. Empowering local contractors and workers, he equipped them with 900 heavy-duty machines to maintain sovereignty, reject foreign dependency, and build self-reliance from within. This is not just Burkina Faso's transformation—it is a beacon for the continent: when Africans lead with courage, prioritize their people, and harness their own resources, the impossible becomes reality. The winds of change are blowing strong across Africa!show more

V TYPE 非: What Does Kim Taehyung's Creative Direction... Mean? The announcement of the V TYPE 非 photobook highlighted a detail that defines the significance of this work: the artist actively participated in every stage, “from planning to photography.” But what does this mean in practice? A Creative Director is responsible for conceiving, organizing, and guiding the artistic vision of a project. Their role is not to technically execute all the steps, but to define the “why,” the “how,” and the “what for” of each aesthetic and narrative choice. They act as a true ARCHITECT OF IDEAS, ensuring that concept, image, narrative, and emotion work together. They ensure that the project has soul, identity, and coherence, aligning all the professionals involved — photographers, designers, stylists, costume designers, set designers, and editors — in a single creative direction. IN GENERAL, KIM TAEHYUNG: • Created the central concept • Defined the visual and emotional narrative • Established artistic and symbolic references (art, fashion, cinema, photography, music, architecture, etc.) • Guided the aesthetic language (atmosphere, light, palette, rhythm, textures) • Determined the tone of the project (intimate, experimental, documentary, symbolic) • Established the visual rhythm: order of images, pauses, silences • Guided framing, expressions, poses, and atmospheres • Coordinated and aligned the creative teams • Ensured coherence and identity from beginning to end • Conceived the Photobook as an artistic object: paper, cover, typography, weight, and texture. Taehyung is the guardian of the artistic vision. The result is a cohesive visual discourse, where each image exists for a reason. THE CREATIVE DIRECTOR IN THE PHOTOBOOK EXHIBITION In the exhibition, the creative director expands the photobook into physical space, transforming it into an immersive experience. The purpose is not just to show photos: it's to make the public traverse the concept. HERE, KIM TAEHYUNG ACTS IN: • Curating the exhibited images • Defining the public's path • Building the spatial narrative (beginning, climax, ending) • Dialogue between images, space, light, and silence • Choosing formats, sizes, and layouts • Integrating sensory elements (sound, text, architecture, rhythm) • Ensuring that the exhibition preserves the original concept of the photobook. In a market where many artists merely lend their image, Taehyung reaffirms his role as an author. “TYPE 非” is not just a record of his image, it is the materialization of his artistic sensibility. It is the signature of someone who not only participates in the work — he builds the work. In a photobook and its exhibition, Kim Tarhyung directs the experience, the reading, and the memory that the public will take with them. V TYPE 非 IS COMING!!! #V_TYPE非show more

UPDATE: Helen Mirren Supports Tom Hardy Amid On-Set Behavior... Rumors While MobLand drama was unfolding, reports emerged that Tom Hardy was facing potential firing over unprofessional behavior on set — including keeping co-stars like Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan waiting for hours in his trailer. A resurfaced video from last November also showed Mirren being verbally attacked in East London, with a man calling her an “evil Zionist b*tch.” At the Taormina Film Festival, Mirren addressed both situations. She strongly supported her co-star: “Love you now and always” and said she would work with him again “absolutely… in a f*cking heartbeat.” She praised Hardy as “the most amazing actor” and a “very special person.” On the attack, she shared her views on Israel: “I believe in the existence of Israel” while expressing devastation over certain actions and questioning how past traumas could be repeated. What do you think of her resolute response and strong support for Hardy? (Video: AI)show more

I met Anee Icha at the audition for Castle... and castle many years ago. Then we worked on the show where she played the crazy receptionist. While directing her, I realized she had great comedic timing and fantastic improv skill. So I told her, one day I’m going to write a crazy story about a very clumsy girl and you will star in it. Somehow we lost touch and I completely forgot. It didn’t happen till three years later when she ran into me at a supermarket. She reminded me that we still hadn’t made this our movie. Coincidentally I was looking for a story that will make us build an extensive set design and VFX just to show off the skills of my Anthill Studios team. That night, the idea for Casa de Novia came to me. I called up my trusted writer Weaver of stories and showed her clips of Anee and we wrote the film for her. I’m glad Anee is getting all the praises and I want to see her do more films like this. Clumsy girl comedy is a big hit potential and we need more crazy ideas in Nollywood.show more

⚔️ Kingdom Come Deliverance first impressions ⚔️ Loving it... so far, basically a medieval detective simulator that really doesn't care that you are the main character. And I'm all here for it. ▪️The WORLD is the real star of the show here and even though it's got plenty of jank and lots of copy and paste NPC faces, it just feels so IMMERSIVE. Even the UI just transports me to the times with a bright colourful medieval art style. ▪️The MUSIC I love, absolutely sells the world and basically ASMR as you trot around on your horse through the world. ▪️THE Combat is a real interesting one, it's got quite the learning curve which I actually LIKE, it definitely has some jank to it as well but I really appreciate the attempt at an original and nuanced combat system. (Having to stop your bleeding with bandages is really cool) ▪️The Story has gripped me (19 hours in so far) And while it seems a simple revenge story on the face of it, I think the story is more about Henry making his way through the world after the horrors of Skallitz. The writing quality is top notch as well as the quest design also. ▪️The CHARACTERS are amazing and the humour is top notch. I'm not sure the last time I laughed so much at a game. Henry is great and so well voiced by Tom McKay This really feels like Warhorse Studios have put a lot of love and work into making an authentic medieval world and as a bit of a medieval nerd I can't get enough of this game. A True RPG as well by all accounts, the game really makes me think hard about how to approach situations. Also I can't wait to get to KCD2.show more

Sean Penn Directing New January 6 Film with Bradley... Cooper Sean Penn has written the script and will direct an untitled drama centered on the early life of a police officer who becomes involved in the January 6 Capitol events. Bradley Cooper is in talks to star in the lead role. The project is set up at Warner Bros. with production targeted for mid-2027. It has been described as an unexpected story about friendship. The 2020 riots across many U.S. cities caused billions in damage and affected numerous law enforcement officers, yet similar major film projects on those events have not been announced by Penn. This highlights how Hollywood often chooses specific stories to tell. What do you think about Penn’s upcoming J6 project? (Video: AI)show more

🔞The former Montenegrin Secretary of State created an account... on OnlyFans after resigning due to a sex scandal. Now, Mirjana Pajkovic is no longer an official, but a "Sexy Lawyer" — under this name, she created an account on the platform. The scandal began several months ago, when a video leaked online, in which Pajkovic was allegedly having sex with Dejan Vukšić — a married former director of the national security agency and adviser to President Jakov Milatović, according to the Montenegrin newspaper Pobjeda. The woman claimed that she was a victim of violence, but the scandal could not be avoided. Pajkovic and Vukšić denied each other's accusations and even filed criminal complaints. "She claims that she was subjected to blackmail and threats for several months, and that Vukšić was behind all this. As evidence, she published an alleged correspondence with him and emphasized that the threats even came from a landline phone in the office of the head of the Montenegrin state," notes Euronews. 💅While the investigation is ongoing, Pajkovic decided to register on OnlyFans. She announced the launch of the page on Instagram, posting a video from the jacuzzi. In the recording, women's legs are visible in the water, and in the background, a man's voice can be heard saying something about "a political, illegal decision". In the caption to the video, she asked questions about whether "state decisions are made in a jacuzzi and whether security secrets remain secrets". - ZNshow more
