While we are cooking food for thousands of stray... dogs and it’s magical to see how many of them now come directly to the kitchen for their share. While we prepare the meals, they patiently sit inside and outside, as if they know their food is on the way. Look at this furry fellow, constantly observing the preparation. It almost feels like he’s auditing the process, giving signals to the other dogs that everything is going well and food will soon be served. We feel so blessed to witness this trust and joy every day. None of this would be possible without your kind love and support together, we are keeping so many tails wagging and bellies full.

The devastating consequences of Russia's war in Ukraine are... felt by all living things here: "Cowering in a corner and shaking". Bayk the wolf from Sumy region suffers from severe PTSD. Animal volunteers from the Wild Animals Rescue Center evacuated Bayk from within the 5-kilometer zone of the Russian border. In addition to numerous physical health issues, Bayk was diagnosed with severe post-traumatic stress disorder caused by constant attacks. Recently, Bayk’s condition took a sharp turn for the worse: upon hearing the sound of a plane in the sky, he cowered in the corner of his enclosure and trembled until evening. "While physical health issues can eventually be resolved, mental health struggles often require years of recovery... These are the consequences of war and human cruelty," the Center added. 📹: Wild Animals Rescue Center/Facebookshow more

One issue I truly hope will finally be correctly... addressed post revolution, is the stray dog situation in Iran. Iran has absolutely beautiful dogs. They are gentle, affectionate, and remarkably calm. I’m the type of person who will run up to a dog and start petting it without hesitation, often forgetting that a dog could react aggressively, especially in Iran, where many of these poor animals have endured harsh lives. Yet I have never had a single negative experience with stray dogs in Iran. I have carried them, washed them, and cared for them, and not once did they show any sign of aggression. There are compassionate individuals trying to help where they can. Some people have built small informal networks with local butchers to collect leftover bones and scraps so they can at least feed the dogs. These efforts come from genuine care and personal sacrifice. But this is not a structural solution. It is only a bandage on a deep wound. The current way the government handles the stray population is cruel and inhumane. Dogs are captured, their mouths are taped shut, and they are left to slowly starve. At the same time, ordinary people face heavy restrictions on keeping dogs. Small dogs can sometimes be hidden inside apartments, but larger ones are nearly impossible to keep. If you walk your dog outside, you risk it being confiscated. Even inside your own home, a hostile neighbor can report you simply for owning a dog, and authorities can act on that complaint. This creates an environment where ownership is punished, while the real problem continues unchecked on the streets. What Iran needs is a humane, practical, and modern solution: 1. A nationwide Catch–Neuter–Vaccinate–Release (CNVR) program 2. Properly managed municipal shelters with medical standards 3. Public education and cultural change We have many urgente matters to attend to after this vile and evil regime falls.show more

What in the world am I looking at right... here? Another organized crime crew is tearing through Florida, trying to destroy our local businesses! 🤬 Four thugs—dubbed the "Babyhair Bandits" online—were just busted in Pensacola after going on a coordinated retail theft spree across malls and stores. These aren't just your ordinary shoplifters. They used specialized high-tech devices specifically designed to bypass store security systems and rip off hard-working business owners. Take a look at the mugshots: Jatoria Archie, Tevara Bonner, Michael Bowie, and Kevin Pittman. Archie is even facing extra charges for using an anti-shoplifting countermeasure device. Fortunately for law-abiding citizens, they did this in FLORIDA. Under Governor Ron DeSantis, Florida has zero tolerance for lawlessness and criminal mobs. Thanks to strong conservative leadership, stealing $750 or more is an automatic felony, and coordinated retail theft carries severe penalties. While blue states let criminals walk out of stores with arms full of stolen goods with zero consequences, Florida locks them up! 🔒 Detectives are now investigating to see how many other local businesses this crew targeted. It is time to fully restore law and order across our entire country, support our police, protect our businesses, and stop this lawless madness once and for all! 🇺🇸🦅show more

this is the most based AI use case i've... ever seen: Singapore is using AI to extinct its mosquito population. the goal is to eliminate the intense dengue outbreaks it faces every year. and ironically, they're doing it by breeding and releasing 10 million+ extra mosquitoes every week lol 1. Google’s Debug mosquito factory breeds millions of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes carrying a bacterium called Wolbachia. it makes a male’s sperm incompatible with a wild female’s eggs, so when they mate, she lays eggs that never hatch. 2. breeding produces both males and females. AI cameras inspect them at high speed and separate the sexes because the facility only wants to release males. males don’t bite, while females are the ones that bite and spread dengue. 3. even high-speed sorting can miss a few females. so the sorted batch gets low-dose X-rays, which sterilize any female that slipped through while leaving the males able to mate. 4. vans drive through neighborhoods across Singapore, releasing millions of these males as they go. 5. the released males compete with wild males for mates. whenever one mates with a wild female, her eggs never hatch, removing an entire batch of mosquitoes from the next generation. so they’re basically mass-sterilizing the population. fewer eggs hatch, fewer mosquitoes are born, and the population shrinks with every generation. and it’s already working. > a major trial found that dengue risk was 71–72% lower in neighborhoods using the program > in the most successful areas, the targeted mosquito population has fallen by 98% > Singapore is now expanding the program to reach roughly half the country Lee Kuan Yew would be proud.show more

Seedance 2.0 Tip: This is how I use grids... to give just enough freedom for AI to work with while maintaining a controlled set of moves/techniques. Great for anything that is choreographed. Workflow: Use Grok to generate a list of techniques that you can pick from. choose 9 variations. Use banana to make it into a grid. Specify that the pose in each grid should be at the moment most representative of the tenique. SD2 Prompt: An olympic skater is performing her beautiful fast paced skate choreography. Choose at least 3 moves at random from @图片2 throughout her performance. No stopping between moves. Each move should be sharp and flow smoothly into the next move. Moves must not last longer than 4 seconds each. Emphasize her speed and accuracy of execution with dramatic cuts that shows her facial expression for emotional highlights. Must include at least 1 spin and 1 jump. Camera work should include fast 360 orbits, rapid jet cuts, ECUs to when she lands her jumps, dynamic push/pulls where her skate glides right infront of the camera, or any other that you think would be fitting. Perfect performance of a worldclass skater.show more

Our proposal to get Europe forward towards a Federation... is to start with the Benelux first, as a historic testing ground of European Integration, it should pick that role up again to prove that federal cooperation works, making it attractive for others to join. The idea is to create a Benelux Federation between Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, while keeping their own national identities, cultures and local politics. The federation would focus on the things where working together gives them more power and ambition: defence, trade and foreign relations, industry, energy, infrastructure and the internal market. Semiconductors: They already have ASML, imec, NXP and many strong suppliers. Now they should build the full chain around them, from research and design to manufacturing, packaging and testing. Make the Benelux Europe's semiconductor hub by pooling resources, similar to Japan's semiconductor manufacturing plan. Ports: Rotterdam and Antwerp-Bruges together handle around 695 million tonnes of cargo a year. Instead of competing separately, they should work as one Benelux port and logistics system, connecting ports, railways, waterways, pipelines and industry. High-speed rail: Build a new Benelux network designed for 400 km/h or faster, integrating all cities, and making federal travel seamless. Defence: They already train and operate together. The next step is to integrate procurement, logistics, intelligence, cyber defence, air defence and command. Buy more together, reduce duplication and build a stronger Benelux defence industry. Industry: Create a common industrial strategy and investment fund for semiconductors, AI, robotics, biotechnology, defence and advanced manufacturing. Make it easier and faster to build factories and scale companies across the Benelux. Federal government and simplification: Create a small federal government responsible only for the powers given to the federation, while keeping national governments and local politics intact. Make the Benelux the least bureaucratic country in the world by removing unnecessary rules, standardising where possible and making decisions fast. Give businesses clear rules, one digital system and simple permits, so that starting a company, building a factory or expanding across the Benelux is as easy as possible. Energy: Plan the electricity grid, standardised nuclear power buildout, offshore wind, hydrogen, solar and other major energy infrastructure together. A bigger connected energy system gives industry more security and makes the region more attractive for investment. Culture: Build a shared Benelux identity while keeping each country's own culture and traditions. Promote shared history, food, music, sport and heritage, while becoming known for combining European heritage with a modern and innovative future. Ambition: Make the Benelux a blueprint for the economy of the future, leading in robotisation, AI, advanced manufacturing, quantum technology, biotechnology, new materials and space. Invest heavily in research and turn new technologies into companies, industries and jobs. The federation should aim to build one of the most advanced economies in the world, from automated factories and next-generation infrastructure to European space infrastructure and a future Moon base. European scale: A Benelux Federation would still have limits because three countries cannot match the scale of the United States, China or the largest global markets. To become a true world leader, Europe would need to integrate further. The Benelux should therefore be the first blueprint showing that more European integration and democratisation can work at a federal level, creating a model that other European countries can join and build on over time. The point of the project is to prove a Federal Europe would work, not by words, but by tangible results. Once proven, our nations would have a reason to federate. Benelux pushed EU in integration before, it should do it again!show more

Costco gas is cheaper because they run on super... slim profit margins compared to regular gas stations. They make just a few cents per gallon on fuel, versus the typical 25- to 35-cent markup at most stations. Today, the national average for regular gas is around $4.40 per gallon, while Costco often sells it 10–30 cents cheaper per gallon — and sometimes more depending on the location. They actually sell way more gas overall by keeping prices low, which drives massive volume — especially when prices are high. Costco doesn’t make much profit from groceries either, selling most items at or just above cost. But the real money comes from membership fees, which account for roughly two-thirds of the company’s profit. This model lets them use gas as a customer magnet while traditional stations have to make thicker profits per gallon to stay in business. Smart strategy that saves members big at the pump. Do you buy gas at Costco? (Video: AI)show more

Sophie started spending some afternoons at the shelter because... bringing a dog home was never going to be an option. Her mother loved animals too, but a serious allergy meant Sophie had spent most of her eight years admiring other people's dogs instead of having one of her own. The shelter's reading program gave her something close. Kids could sit quietly with dogs that needed time around people, read to them and let the dogs decide how much interaction they wanted. That's how Sophie met Benny. The older black-and-white Collie mix rarely came forward when visitors stopped at his kennel. He usually stayed on the gray blanket in the back corner, watching people carefully until they moved on. Sophie started sitting on the floor with a book every Tuesday. During the first visits, Benny barely moved. Sophie would read for 20 or 30 minutes while he listened from across the kennel, and when it was time to leave, she'd close her book and tell him she'd see him next week. She always came back. One Tuesday, Sophie's mother was watching from outside the kennel when Benny did something different. Sophie had just turned a page when he lifted his head and slowly got to his feet. She noticed him moving but kept reading. Benny took a couple of steps and stopped. After listening for another moment, he came a little closer, his body still low and uncertain. Sophie's mother knew how long her daughter had been waiting for something like this. When Benny crossed half the distance between the blanket and the book, she couldn't hold back the tears anymore. Sophie never called him over. She kept reading. Eventually Benny reached her knees and stood there quietly. Sophie looked up for a second, smiled, then went back to the page. That seemed to be enough. Benny lowered himself beside her and slowly rested his head across her lap. Sophie stopped reading for just a moment. She put one hand gently against the side of his head, found her place again and continued the story. Behind the kennel bars, her mother covered her mouth and cried. She knew Sophie couldn't take Benny home. Sophie knew it too. So the following Tuesday, she came back with another book. Benny wasn't waiting in the back corner anymore. Do you think Benny had learned that Sophie was someone who would alwavs come back? another book. Benny wasn't waiting in the back corner anymore. Do you think Benny had learned that Sophie was someone who would always come back?show more

The scream came from halfway down the block, sharp... enough to stop Daniel in his tracks before he reached the next mailbox. Daniel had worked this route for years, long enough to know the rhythm of the street and the families who lived on it. Most afternoons passed quietly, with doors opening, dogs barking, and the soft thud of mail sliding through slots. That routine broke the moment a small girl ran out of the house barefoot, tears streaking down her face as she rushed straight toward him. Her arms wrapped around his waist without warning. "He's breaking things," she cried, her voice shaking so hard the words barely came out. Daniel dropped his mailbag and sat down on the front steps, pulling her close so her head rested against his chest. His voice stayed low and steady while his heart raced. "Hey, you're safe right now," he said. "I've got you." Before Daniel could reach for his phone, sirens cut through the street. A neighbor had already called for help after hearing the shouting and the crash from inside the house. Police cars pulled up moments later, and officers moved quickly toward the front door. Daniel stayed where he was, one arm wrapped firmly around the girl while he talked to her about anything that wasn't the house behind them. A few minutes later, officers led her father out in handcuffs and placed him into a patrol car. The noise was gone, but the fear hadn't left her body yet. She held on tighter when an officer walked over and crouched beside them, her fingers pressing into Daniel's jacket as if letting go still felt impossible. "She all right?" the officer asked gently. Daniel looked down at her before answering. "She's just shaking," he said. "We'll sit here for a minute." The officer nodded, understanding the unspoken need for time, and turned back toward the house to speak with her mother. Later, Daniel would learn the truth from the officers. This wasn't the first time. The fear had been building for months, and the silence had lasted far too long. At that moment, none of that mattered. Daniel wasn't a mail carrier anymore. He was simply the calm place she found when everything else felt loud and unsafe, the steady presence she could hold onto until her world stopped spinning.show more

Shadow's story began quietly inside a shelter kennel, where... fear kept him frozen for more than a year. Every day, visitors walked past his cage. Most people chose the playful dogs that ran to the front wagging their tails. Shadow stayed in the corner, trembling and avoiding eye contact. Shelter staff knew he wasn't aggressive. He was just deeply afraid. Dogs that have experienced abandonment or trauma often develop intense anxiety. Long periods in a shelter environment can make that fear worse, causing withdrawal, shaking, and a loss of confidence. Shadow had slowly learned not to expect much from the world except uncertainty. Then one day, a couple stopped in front of his kennel. Instead of walking past, they paused. They didn't see a "scared dog." They saw a gentle soul hiding behind fear. They knew trust doesn't happen overnight. It grows slowly through patience, quiet moments, and kindness. So they gave him time. Day after day they sat near him. They spoke softly. They created calm routines that slowly showed Shadow he was safe. At first, the changes were small. A tiny tail wag. A curious glance. A few steps closer. Then something beautiful happened. Shadow began to trust. He started exploring his new home, realizing that couches were soft places to rest and that human hands could bring comfort instead of harm. For the first time in a long while, he felt safe. Today, Shadow lives surrounded by warmth and care. He enjoys long naps, quiet cuddles, and small adventures that once seemed impossible for a dog who spent so long living in fear. His story reminds us that frightened animals aren't broken. Sometimes they're just waiting for someone patient enough to help them believe again. If you want to see Shadow today, the way he smiles, wags his tail, and lives his life peacefully, comment "Shadow" and I would love to show you his update.show more

"For eight months, the old Dalmatian refused to come... to the front of his kennel. Every family that entered the shelter glanced at his grey muzzle and continued toward younger dogs. Initially, Buddy still rose when footsteps came closer. Eventually, he only watched from the back of the kennel. One rainy afternoon, an elderly woman in a pale blue cardigan entered the long hallway and stopped. Eleanor pressed both hands to her chest when she saw the spotted dog behind the metal gate. Eleven years earlier, she had carried Buddy home as a puppy. After her husband died, he followed her through every room and slept beside her bed each night. Then a serious fall changed everything. Doctors moved Eleanor into a rehabilitation center that did not allow animals. Because no relative could care for Buddy, she had to surrender him to the shelter. Before leaving, she touched her forehead to his and whispered, “Wait for me.” Recovery lasted far longer than expected. Once Eleanor could walk safely again, her old apartment was gone. Her search ended only when a senior community offered her a small home where dogs were welcome. When the keys finally reached her hand, she called the shelter before unpacking a single box. Now only a few feet separated them. Motionless, Buddy stared through the bars. Several quiet seconds passed as the shelter worker reached for the latch. “Buddy, it is me.” His ears lifted, and his tail moved once. Carefully, the worker opened the gate while Eleanor lowered herself to her knees. At last, Buddy moved. Slowly, the old dog stepped into the corridor on stiff legs. Halfway across the concrete floor, he paused and raised his nose. A familiar scent reached him, and the uncertainty left his face. Suddenly, he walked straight into Eleanor’s arms and pushed his head beneath her chin. Trembling, she wrapped both arms around him as he leaned his full weight against her. “I told you I would come back,” she whispered. Later that afternoon, Eleanor signed the adoption papers and took Buddy to her new home. That evening, he settled beside her bed in the same place he had chosen for eleven years. Neither of them had forgotten the promise.show more

You’re on a journey on this kind of lonely... road with your car and your car suddenly develops a fault, You can’t call for help and your lines can’t be reached due to network issues, what do you do? Except the car will stop and the engine won’t come up again, please reduce your speed and accelerate softly till you get to a nearby town, if it is an overheating issue, keep driving, put the gear in the neutral position and switch off the engine and let the car keep moving, switch it back on when you have to ascend a hilly road and the car can’t move freely on its own again. If the battery signal comes up while driving, chances are that your alternator has failed, or the alternator belt is damaged, apply the same method and switch off your AC, radio system or anything that may drain the battery while driving till you get to a safe place. If it is a flat tyre, maintain a low speed till you get to a safe place to change and use your spare, keep moving. Yes!!! Damage that tyre till you get to a safe place, just keep moving and make sure you have a spare tyre always and it is in a good condition. If the engine suddenly goes off on top speed, chances are that a fuse is damaged and this is why I will make a thread on how to identify different fuses and how to have them fixed temporarily in case of Emergencies. If your car jerks or experiences a lazy movement while driving, it’s likely to be a fuel related issue, fuel pump most likely, switch off the engine intermittently and put the gear in Neutral position, keep moving… if the fuel pump rests for about 5mins, it’ll pick up back when you ignite the engine, this will/may at least take you to a safe place or where you can have access to network to make calls. If you hear strange sounds like knocking sounds or the oil signal starts to blink, relax and reduce your speed, keep moving. Manage it till you get to a safe place or can have access to network. If your gear/transmission system isn’t selecting well, apply the same method, reduce your speed but keep moving, slow movement is better than no movement, your life and safety matters a lot. Please note that there are some Mechanical issues that nothing can solve on the road except patience and just to pray to God for safety and help, for example, you run into a pothole unknowingly and the oil pan hits the road and your engine or gear oil leaks away, or your ball joint or tie rod head pulls out, I’ll suggest you leave the car there, roll up your windows and lock up the car and start trekking till you get network or help, staying with the car may make you vulnerable to attacks or attract unexpected company, just keep walking away from the car for safety. Most importantly, please stay safe and be conscious of your environment. Be friendly with your Mechanic too or any Mechanic you see on the road. Don’t manage faults in cars and risk traveling with it.show more

Your cat may act completely independent all day. They... won’t come when called. They ignore your affection. But the moment you head to the bathroom? There they are, right behind you. Sitting. Staring. Watching while you’re on the toilet. So… why does this happen? Surprisingly, it’s actually really sweet. In the wild, cats are most vulnerable when relieving themselves, they can’t run or defend themselves easily. That’s why cats in groups often take turns standing guard for each other. When your cat follows you into the bathroom, they’re saying: “I know you’re vulnerable right now, so I’m going to protect you.” They’re literally being your bodyguard. Why the bathroom? - Small, enclosed space — easy to monitor for threats - You’re stationary — they know exactly where you are - You’re vulnerable — their protective instincts kick in- Quiet time — no distractions, just you and them Your cat sees you as family. In feline social groups, only cats who deeply trust and care for each other offer this kind of protection. So even if your cat seems aloof, following you to the bathroom is actually one of the purest signs of love and trust. They’re saying: “I may not be cuddly, but I’ll always have your back.” Your bathroom buddy isn’t being weird, they’re just being the best friend they know how to be.show more

About fourteen years ago, someone in Russia filmed a... crow on a snowy rooftop. The bird had found a plastic jar lid, the kind you’d peel off a jar of mayonnaise, and was using it as a sled. It would hop on, ride the lid down the slope of the roof flapping its wings for balance, pick the lid up in its beak at the bottom, fly back to the top, and go again. The shot was taken from a high-rise window across the way, so you see the whole roof. And here’s the thing the video didn’t show. The snow on the roof already had several tracks down it before the camera switched on. The crow had been doing this for a while before anybody noticed. A behavioural scientist who looked at the clip pointed out what was actually happening. The lid hadn’t blown up there. The bird had carried it. Found it somewhere on the ground, recognised it as useful, flown it onto a roof, and worked out the best line down. That’s tool use, planning, and play in one creature. In one of the longer clips, the crow eventually flies off still carrying the lid, like it’s a possession worth keeping. Crows are in the corvid family, with ravens, magpies, and jays. The smartest birds we know of. Do you have them where you live? What’s the cleverest thing you’ve ever watched a wild animal do?show more

MiniMax H3 Prompt: A cinematic wide shot of four... young women running barefoot across a vast rain-soaked green field during a sudden summer downpour. Their casual summer clothes and loose hair are drenched by the rain as they sprint together from left to right, giving the moment a spontaneous, carefree sense of youth and freedom. Rather than posing for the camera, they appear completely absorbed in the moment. Shot as an extreme wide environmental shot from roughly eye level, with the figures occupying only the lower third of the composition. A huge amount of open landscape and pale overcast sky surrounds them, emphasizing scale, isolation and atmosphere. A single small tree near the center of the frame acts as a quiet visual anchor against the movement of the running figures. The camera feels static or only subtly handheld, allowing the women to rush through the frame rather than actively tracking them. A moderately wide lens, around 28–35mm equivalent, captures the expansive field, distant hills and surrounding trees while keeping the runners readable. The women are intentionally rendered with strong natural motion blur, suggesting a relatively slow shutter speed and creating an impressionistic sense of speed. The landscape remains comparatively stable and readable, making their blurred movement especially prominent. Lighting is entirely soft natural daylight filtered through heavy storm clouds and rainfall. Visibility gradually falls off toward the distant hills, where rain and atmospheric haze create layered depth. The palette is subdued and earthy, dominated by wet olive green, moss, muted yellow, warm grey and faded brown. The image has a distinctly analog cinematic texture, with soft focus, restrained contrast, subtle grain, slightly muddy colors and imperfect exposure. It feels like a frame from a 1970s or 1990s coming-of-age arthouse film, balancing nostalgia, freedom, summer melancholy and the chaotic energy of being caught unexpectedly in the rain.show more
