🇷🇺🎉 HAPPY 75TH BIRTHDAY TO SERGEY LAVROV – THE... GREATEST STATESMAN OF OUR TIME! To celebrate, we’ve gathered some of the sharpest and most memorable quotes from Russia’s legendary Foreign Minister: 🔹 “A second opinion never hurts, not only in medicine, but also in politics.” 🔹 “I don’t get paid to be an optimist.” 🔹 “Some people don’t like that we don’t trade our sovereignty, but it can’t be any other way.” 🔹 “I don’t want to resort to jargon, but we have a concept of ‘a boy said - a boy did.’ At least ‘concepts’ should be observed at the international level.” 🔹 “As for the iron curtain, it is practically already coming down. Let them just be careful in the West so as not to pinch anything for themselves.” 🔹 “Self-respecting countries do not accept ultimatums.” 🔹 “If it acts like a terrorist, if it walks like a terrorist, if it fights like a terrorist, it’s a terrorist, right?” 🔹 “I am definitely for peace. I don’t remember who said, ‘if you want peace, prepare for war,’ but I don’t share this philosophy. I share the idea, which I would formulate as follows: if you want peace, be ready to always defend yourself.” A master diplomat, an uncompromising patriot, and one of the most skilled foreign policy minds of the any era. 🇷🇺 Many years of strength, wisdom, and victories to Sergey Viktorovich!show more

❄️ 2ND CALL SNOW MAP UPDATE ❄️ A few... key corrections south to account for slightly higher QPF in some model trends... I’ve made some adjustments to the snowfall map, shifting totals a bit farther south to better account for areas where the front end snowfall Sunday morning/afternoon will be higher due to increased moisture levels. This would still account for sleet and warm air intrusion around the 5,000-ft level which still may become an issue. That warm layer will cut into some late storm accumulations once the dry air is overcome. 🔹 Coastal Monmouth & Ocean Counties I now expect at least 6" in eastern Monmouth, with max potentials up to 10". This is the assumption of sleet mixing. 🔹 Long Island Included in the 6–10" range, with some mixing limiting higher totals in spots. 🔹 NYC & Northern Long Island The most common snowfall totals will be a 10–15" range which is not uniform across the entire area. Some locations will fall short due to brief mixing. 🔹 Snow Max Zone The highest potential remains over northern NJ, the Lower Hudson Valley, and southwest CT, where: • Snow ratios will be higher • Frontogenesis banding is most likely • Lift will be strongest ➡️ Snowfall max potential: up to 18" in this corridor. Bottom line: This remains a high-impact winter storm. Small changes in the mid-level temperatures will make a big difference, especially near the coast. I’ll continue fine-tuning as we get closer.

It looks like we may have just figured out... where Attorney Marc Diller got his original “Exhibit J”... And the answer is Jen McCabe’s best friend. 😱 Attorney Marc Diller’s first version of “Exhibit J” was the exhibit he filed in support of his motion for a Temporary Restraining Order to prevent Karen Read from getting her cell phones back from the Norfolk County DA’s Office. In multiple posts after the March 6th hearing, Kerry can be seen sharing the very exhibit that attorneys Diller, Rosenberg, and Seligson referenced in their filings over the past few weeks. In the video she posted, the tweet in question appears at the beginning, followed by screenshots that are described as coming from an alleged phone extraction. We can confirm this appears to be the original version of Exhibit J (before Diller later attempted to substitute a different version while still labeling it “Exhibit J”) because it matches exactly how Seligson described it in Read’s filing. In his response, Seligson states the exhibit is: 🔹 a partial screenshot of a tweet originally posted by Sean McDonough 🔹 includes a quote stating the recording was a “one-party consent call” 🔹 contains the audio of the call itself 🔹 matches the image of the exhibit included in the court filing All of those elements are in the version Kerry has been circulating online. This includes a comment on a Boston Fox 25 post. Ms. Drama Llama has publicly stated many times that she is close with Jen McCabe and communicates with witnesses as well as members of the O’Keefe family. She also appears regularly on a YouTube channel promoting “Justice for JJ” content and the Albert/McCabe/Higgins defense fund. As recently as Friday, she was seemingly publicly speaking about an opinion from the O'Keefe family in regards to a photo of John being posted (that she, herself, posted first). This could also explain why Attorney Diller may have considered the material reliable given that Kerry appears to be a trusted voice within the O’Keefe/McCabe circle. Now the question is, why is the best friend of a key witness seemingly inserting herself into active civil litigation by circulating exhibits connected to court filings? 🤔show more

Ciarán (fka Bearface) is releasing his first new solo... music since his time in BROCKHAMPTON. He recently shared his new interactive auto-themed website with snippets and blog posts announcing the new music.⁠ ⁠ In the first post, Ciarán writes, “It's been an extensive and intentional process and I hope you can enjoy the music (and the process of that which it comes) with an open heart and I hope it can become something that you could see yourself living with for a long while...I've also been preparing hard with the help of some great friends so that some of you can experience the music firsthand, in a way that will hopefully do the recordings justice.”⁠ ⁠ Ciarán has kept busy over the last few years collaborating with other artists, contributing vocals and production to songs on boylife’s ‘jones’ as well as working on music with Zack Villere, Mulherin, and Matt Champion, among others.show more

oh wow I'm literally enjoying the match made with... GPT Image 2 + Seedance 2.0 on Yapper prompt Character Description Young woman in her early 20s with the exact same facial features as the reference image, realistic appearance, soft oval face, fair warm skin tone, expressive almond-shaped hazel eyes, naturally thick brows, delicate nose, soft pink lips, gentle elegant smile, realistic skin texture, loosely tied brunette hair with soft face-framing strands. Wearing a stylish red-and-black football jersey layered over a gray oversized hoodie, casual streetwear vibe, slim build, slightly shy personality, authentic candid facial expressions, seated among football supporters inside a packed stadium. No celebrity look, no model styling, completely ordinary realistic sports fan energy. Updated Version (Football Stadium + English Commentary) Second 1 Wide shot of a massive professional indoor football stadium in South Korea. A giant hanging jumbotron dominates the center of the arena. Bright stadium floodlights, realistic crowd movement, subtle audience chatter, distant referee whistles, and authentic football match atmosphere. The jumbotron displays a young female audience member wearing a red-and-black football jersey layered over a gray oversized hoodie, casually sitting in the stands. Faint English sports commentary can be heard naturally in the background: “Looks like we’ve found one of the fans enjoying tonight’s match…” Second 2 Camera remains focused on the jumbotron screen. Subtle Korean live-TV graphics appear naturally in the corner: minimalist Korean broadcast interface, translucent scoreboard overlay, small Korean text, tiny red LIVE icon. The young woman still does not realize she is being shown on the giant stadium screen. English commentator: “She has absolutely no idea she’s on camera right now.” Second 3 People sitting nearby begin noticing her on the screen. Some spectators laugh softly and point toward her. The young woman starts looking around in confusion, trying to understand what is happening. English commentator chuckles lightly: “And there it is… realization is slowly kicking in.” Second 4 The broadcast camera smoothly tilts downward from the hanging jumbotron toward the real audience seating area. Realistic long-lens sports camera movement with subtle handheld micro-shake from a live TV operator. Crowd noise swells naturally. Second 5 The camera finally locates the young woman in the crowd. Autofocus briefly adjusts and locks onto her face. Slow zoom-in begins naturally like a real football broadcast reaction cam. English commentator: “We found her. Front row of embarrassment tonight.” Second 6 The zoom becomes tighter and slightly faster. The young woman suddenly realizes the live camera is focused on her and that her face is being displayed on the stadium screen. Her expression instantly becomes awkward and embarrassed. Nearby fans laugh naturally. English commentator laughing softly: “There it is! She knows now.” Second 7 Medium close-up shot. She gives a nervous laugh, briefly looks away from the camera, shoulders slightly tense. Her hands move awkwardly as if unsure how to react. Nearby audience members smile and laugh naturally. English commentator: “You’ve got to wave now. Stadium rules.” Second 8 The camera zooms even closer in authentic live-TV fan-cam style. Background spectators become softly blurred due to telephoto lens compression and shallow depth of field. The young woman forces a shy smile while partially covering her face. Subtle compression artifacts and realistic sports-broadcast sharpness. Second 9 Tight realistic close-up. She avoids direct eye contact, laughs awkwardly, then gives a small embarrassed wave toward the camera. Crowd reactions remain subtle and natural. English commentator: “There we go! She survived the fan cam.” Second 10 The camera slightly shakes as if the live-TV operator is adjusting the shot while staying locked onto her awkward expression. Korean LIVE broadcast overlays remain visible. The moment feels spontaneous, candid, and completely authentic like a reashow more

Midjourney sref + Sora 2 Pro is the sauce.... With one Midjourney style image, you can give a specific style for your entire project. I created two different 12-second clips and edited them together. Some details aren’t fully consistent, like the iPod or AirPods because the clips were made separately from a single image (Character in a specific style). It could be fixed in post-production, but that would take more time, and this was more of an experimental test. It would be great to add the actual product image with the current one to maintain product consistency. I feel like if there were a way to add 2–4 images into this workflow, it could open up a lot more possibilities and consistency. With an API, it could be possible. Or let’s see what Veo 3.1 has to offer.show more

I'm still in Busan, spending a quality time with... my family here. I was unsuccessful in securing tickets for either day for Busan concert even though I tired till the end on Nol World queue and I needed some time to gather my thoughts and sort through my emotions😢 Tbh I felt really sad and helpless. But now that I think about it, this experience gave me a whole new perspective in a way.. I was roaming around outside of the stadium and found a spot where many neighborhood residents were gathered along with some Armys. We chanted and sang together too. The spot I found happened to be on a hill where a walking trail was connected. So, many locals who were passing by stopped to join and cheered together. Whenever Jin's face appeared on the screen, I couldn't help but notice even locals blurting out in excitement 'OMG, he's insanely handsome!' I am not gonna lie...I was really disappointed and disheartened before the concert as this ticketing and camping all day long experience in Nol Wolrd felt so out of my control.. But it is what it is and I guess that was as far as my luck in Busan would take me. At the end of the day, I'm still grateful that I was able to share the same space (in a way 😅) and be part of the experience with Seokjin on top of seeing my family here in Busan again this time of the year. Choosing positivity wins in the end. *The first photo is Huinnyeol Cultral Village located in Yeongdo, farthest south of Busan. It's a beautiful and peaceful spot offering amazing scenic views, where my family and I had a great time :) I recommend you visit there next time if you get a chance :) [NAVER Maps] Huinnyeoul Culture Village 605-3 Yeongseon-dong 4(sa)-ga Yeongdo-gu Busan #Jin #방탄소년단진 #진 방탄소년단show more

As the Connecticut Huskies attempt to win another national... championship tonight against Michigan, Alabama Men’s Basketball fans still hear the echos of two years ago when the Crimson Tide finally crashed college basketball’s biggest event for the first time on April 6, 2024. Inside State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., the Crimson Tide’s breakthrough season reached its crescendo in its first Final Four appearance against the Huskies. As a No. 4 seed coming out of the West Region, the magical run ended with an 86-72 loss, but not before the Crimson Tide proved it belonged on the grandest stage. Mark Sears led the way with 24 points, five rebounds and three assists, continuing his March brilliance. Grant Nelson delivered a monster effort with 19 points and a season-best 15 rebounds for a double-double, while Aaron Estrada added 13 points as Alabama fought to keep within striking distance deep into the second half. Stephon Castle scored 21 points, Donovan Clingan had 18 and Tristen Newton controlled the game with 12 points and nine assists. When Alabama clawed back to tie it in the second half, UConn answered with a decisive run. “We got this program to its first Final Four, and I’m unbelievably proud of these guys,” Alabama head coach Nate Oats said. “We just went up against the best team in the country and they showed it.” Two years later, as Connecticut chases another title, that Saturday night in Glendale stands as more than a final score in Alabama history. It redefined the ceiling of a program and created an expectation to get back.show more

My girlfriend found a second laptop under my bed... Saturday. I was still asleep. She was looking for a phone charger. She didn't say anything for ten minutes. I woke up. She was on the couch with both laptops open. "What are you doing?" "Comparing strategies." "Strategies for what?" "Trading. Open-source. Anyone can audit the code." She put the coffee down. "So you code for free?" "No. The code makes money." "Sure it does." I didn't argue. I sat next to her. One wallet I was tracking turned $1,500 into $24,200 in 16 days. Another flipped 298 trades with 85% winrate. One more pulled $7.4M in volume in four weeks. She stopped mid-sip. "That's... from a script?" Exactly. Then I showed her 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. She went quiet for a long time. Then: "Why do you have a second laptop under the bed?" "Because one runs the bot. One shows the dashboard. I sleep better when they're not on the same machine." "You sleep better when there's trading software running while you sleep?" "Yeah." She closed both laptops. Looked at me. "You're going to show me everything. Tonight. From the top. I'm not asking." Try to trade: Girlfriends don't ask about the money. They ask why there's a second laptop under the bed. Then they take over the conversation.show more

been getting a lot of qs on how i... vibe coded this demo. and the answer is: stop acting like a coder and start acting like a PM! my exact playbook👇 1. logic first ignore the UI/graphics. focus strictly on how it works. do a massive brain dump of every requirement into a plain txt file and drop it in your root folder. make it exhaustively detailed. 2. the stack · Nano Banana 2 (tiles/textures/3D refs) · Tripo AI (turning the 2D pics into actual 3D models) · Cursor + Opus 4.6 (doing the heavy lifting) · Netlify (deploy) 3. hire the AI PM feed your brain dump to an LLM. tell it to write a technical spec sheet like a senior PM would. drop that in the root too. 4. the scrum master have it break the entire project down into a markdown checklist by phases. notice we still haven't touched the codebase yet. that's the point. 5. let it cook go to your agent in Cursor and literally just prompt "Start Phase 1". test locally. bugs? tell it to fix. works? "Start Phase 2". loop this until you're done. Now you can focus on visuals, refine them with the agent. And yes, it can deploy it for you too if you give it perms. stop rushing to the editor. architect the idea and let the AI sweat the code. Open sourced repo in the qt post belowshow more

One last post before bed: We have a state... to save and we cannot do that with our globalist leader, Greg Abbott. It's time for a change. If Texas rises up, then other states will rise up. It's time to take back our state and our country! That begins with "making it too big to rig" by going out and voting for Doc Pete Chambers! Texas Independence Day is right around the corner. The spirit of 1836 is still alive in the hearts of real Texans who refuse to let globalists, open borders, and corporate sellouts turn our state into another failed experiment. Abbott has had over a decade to put Texas first, but he has shown who he truly is! Doc Chambers is different. He's a man of God, a proven fighter, and a true grassroots patriot who will actually do what he says. No more excuses, no more half-measures, no more betrayal. Vote like your children's future depends on it because it does. Get to the polls, bring friends, bring family, overwhelm the system. Make it impossible to ignore or rig. God First. Texas First. America First. Let's finish what the heroes of 1836 started. #GodBlessTexas DocPeteChambersForTexasshow more

🚨 There’s been a lot of debate about whether... the Conor McGregor fight was fixed… I was there. I saw everything. Here’s my take. I filmed the two videos below as he walked into and out of the stadium. (Definitely take a second to watch them) What alarmed me the most about the first video was that there was no joy, excitement, or confidence as he headed toward the Octagon. As he walked into the sea of people, there ZERO percent hope in his eyes; complete deadpan. We all grew up watching Conor hype himself up before battle. That was NOT the Conor we’ve come to know. I’ve watched Conor make that walk dozens of times over the years. The swagger, the grin, the confidence; it was non existent. That’s what IMMEDIATELY caught my attention. The second I saw him, I knew was going to lose. This was his first UFC fight in five years, yet there was zero hope in his eyes? Just a completely blank expression? After all that 💩 talk? Really? To me, he looked like someone who already knew something wasn’t right. Whether it was his body, his preparation, or both, his energy was completely different. The second video shows him WALK back to the locker room. Yes, without a noticeable limp, he WALKED back with that same hopeless look in his eyes. I know 10+ people who have blown out ACLs, and none of them were casually walking around minutes later. That made me think one of two things: He already knew he was dealing with a serious injury, and that kick simply made it much worse. OR He straight up lied about his health, and planned to do a wild kick to blame the injury on in order to cash the check Regardless, it’s unfortunate how it ended. The highest selling gate in UFC history ended up being one of the biggest letdowns the sport has ever seen. Growing up means watching your heroes become human. I sincerely hope Conor continues his spiritual journey with Jesus, gets back to 100%, and returns one more time because we’d all still pay to see it. Shout out to Paddy for saving the night. What do you think? Do you believe Conor knew about the injury before the fight? Do you believe his tweet? Let me know your thoughts in the comments. 👇🏼show more

My experiences at the stadium yesterday (I was tired... from same-day long flight so I may have missed a few things.): • There were lots of Shir-o-Khorshid flags and shirts in the stadium, which was great to see. Despite the “ban”, it was nice to see so many on display. Freedom of speech matters in the USA. • Compared to Islamic Republic-friendly Qatar in 2022, the difference was noticeable. Back then, I saw with my own eyes that there were binders at the admission gates listing prohibited items, including Shir-o-Khorshid flags. The security there was hostile and scrutinizing every flag and article of clothing. This time, there were no such binders or checks beyond normal security screening. • The fans carrying Shir-o-Khorshid flags were supporting Team Melli throughout the match. From what I saw, they were there to support Iran and enjoy the game. • The Islamic Republic anthem was loudly booed throughout the stadium. • I didn’t witness any major arguments or confrontations, although I know videos of disputes are circulating online. I’m only speaking about what I personally saw inside and around the stadium. • The only issue I witnessed involved an older Islamic Republic supporter sitting in the row behind me causing a disturbance and getting what I believe was his grandson to go to security and complain about nearby fans with Shir-o-Khorshid flags, claiming the flags were banned. Security told him to relax and made it clear they were not going to remove anyone’s flag. • Ironically, a few minutes later, those same Islamic Republic supporters were told to leave because they were sitting in the wrong seats. 👏 • The woman sitting behind me, wearing a regular Iran shirt, was ecstatic when they left. She told me she felt their presence beside her and her two sons had been a bad omen and was relieved to see them go. • The atmosphere was electric from start to finish. SoFi Stadium is one of the nicest stadiums I’ve ever been to and was an amazing place to watch a World Cup match. • Like what I saw in Qatar 2022, you can spot an Islamic Republic supporter from a mile away. Ugly to the bone. They always look mangled and angry (physiognomy is real in this case). A note - I encourage Iranian fans and Shir-o-Khorshid patriots to attend these matches and bring their flags. In my view, it’s a missed opportunity that some have chosen to boycott the national team when these events provide a chance to make their voices heard in front of the world. Boycotting only silences your own voice. It’s a self-inflicted loss of an opportunity to be seen and heard. Overall, it was a positive experience. Fans were there to support Team Melli. It was great to see so many Shir-o-Khorshid flags in the stadium and to see people expressing themselves freely without the issues we saw in Qatar. The result was disappointing, but the atmosphere and the passion of the Iranian fans made it a memorable.show more
