Michael Jackson at his hotel signing autographs to give... to his fans through the window ❤️ Fans were never just an audience to Michael he adored them with pure, childlike love. Stuck in his golden cage of fame, he’d turn his hotel windows into a “happiness delivery service,” signing pillows, blankets, and notes that read “I love you more!” or “Please stay warm, it’s raining outside,” then tossing them down to the crowds waiting below. While security panicked, Michael was beaming with joy. This was his way of reaching the hearts that loved him back. True King of Pop with the biggest heart of all. ❤️👑show more

Kris Jenner reportedly opened up on a recent podcast... about her daughters’ relationships with rappers, admitting she’s frustrated by how many of those marriages have ended and urging them to stay away from rappers altogether. She reportedly said: “I’ve seen my daughters fall deeply in love with rappers, only for things to end with their hearts broken. At this point, I don’t think rappers are the right match for my girls. I would much rather see them with successful businessmen or even NBA players. I just want them to be with men who genuinely love, respect, and treat them the way they deserve.show more

The snotty, disdainful, outright bitchy looks from #MeghanMarkle to... #PrincessCatherine are wild. The dismissive hair flip tops it off. This is not a woman who was trying to integrate into a family or assimilate into traditions and culture. She had no respect for any of them, she was simply biding her time until she could leave and take Doofus with her. She wasn’t even married yet, and this was her attitude. #MeghanIsTheProblem #HarryandMeghan #MeghanMarkleIsABullyshow more

There were remnants of giants, or the descendants of... the Nephilim, 3,000 years ago. The Israelites fought them in the desert, and Odysseus encountered them during his journey home. Goliath was one of the last giants, who died out during the Bronze Age Collapse. He was part of the Anakim tribe, whose members were direct descendants of the Nephilim destroyed during the Flood. Even Ferdinand Magellan encountered them 2,500 years after the Bronze Age Collapse in what we now call Patagonia, Argentina. The last story of an encounter with a giant comes from Afghanistan, where the so-called Giant of Kandahar allegedly killed an American soldier.show more

Timothy Leary’s Final Regrets Few figures in psychedelic history... are as influential or as polarizing as Timothy Leary. A Harvard psychologist turned countercultural icon, Leary helped bring psychedelics out of clinical & intellectual circles and into mainstream American consciousness. He also helped turn them into a media spectacle, accelerating the political backlash that followed. Near the end of his life, when asked what he regretted, his answer was classic. Instead of offering remorse or reflection, he doubled down with a line that was playful, provocative, and quintessentially Leary. Even at the end, Leary refused to give his critics the satisfaction of an apology. ✨🙌🏾💫show more

I know a lot of people hate on AI.... I get it. Be creative. But for those of use who can't draw or animate, this is more of a quick and cheap fix. and there's nothing wrong with that. I wish others were more open about sharing what they've learned using AI and not hoard their knowledge like it's worth gold. The only way we can learn and improve is if others share what they've learned. I understand people are protective of what prompts they use. Ok fine, don't share them. But you can't even give a tip? Like "add this phrase to the prompt for better [fill in the blank]" or "use [blank] for a more realistic atmosphere]. Just pisses me off. I'm happy to share all I've learned with anyone who askes. Same happened in the 3d printing community with crushable printed houses. No one wanted to share anything. So I gave up on that. #sizetwitter #giantess #AIart #giantessai #Sora2 #soraArtshow more

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Sen. Lisa Murkowski's team is absolutely... livid and now threatening to file a legal complaint to the Alaska Division of Elections and Law Department, simply because James O'Keefe's team EXPOSED election vulnerabilities They were gonna let O'Keefe vote as Murkowski's BROTHER, and one of his team members vote as Murkowski's State Director 🤯 The workers confirmed it: You don't need ID, just promise us you are who you say you are... NEITHER of them actually went through with voting or signing forms. Worth noting that Murkowski, who is now worried about "voter fraud," IS BLOCKING THE SAVE AMERICA ACT MURKOWSKI STATE DIRECTOR: "I will happily include it in my complaint to the Division of Elections and the Department of Law." 🤡 You are doing America a service, James O'Keefe 👏🏻show more

On my flight from Abu Dhabi to Tel Aviv,... I sat next to an Indian man who told me this was his third month working in Israel near the Gaza area. He shared his belief that Israel will no longer issue work permits to Gazans and will replace them with Indian workers. He seemed genuinely happy to work in Israel, speaking throughout the flight about how friendly and welcoming Israelis are and how content he is living there. One of the most devastating consequences of Hamas’s actions on October 7 is the betrayal of trust. Hamas used Gazans who worked in kibbutzim with some of the most pacifist Israelis—those who believed in a Palestinian state—to spy on them and hand over maps of their locations. This is how Hamas knew exactly how many people lived in each house on October 7. Even after this war ends, it’s unlikely that Gazans will regain the opportunity to work in Israel. My Indian seatmate mentioned that hundreds of Indians are now employed in Israel and that Israel no longer trusts Gazans—a sentiment that, given the circumstances, is hard to fault. Was October 7 worth it? Murder, treason, and disloyalty—a catastrophic combination born from a failed ideology that absolutely does not deserve a state.show more

The whole level shifting is kind of a fun... effect but this would 100% give some people motion sickness XD It's perhaps a bit "too much" anyway. Anyways, we're getting entities actually coded instead of the fakery I was doing for the prototype! I think ghosthands gimmick will be that they have a set patrol. They can't see or hear. And they won't notice you so long as you sit still while they pass. Could have a bit of fun with it and have them rarely accidentally grope her in passing even if she's still 😅show more

Normally I wouldn’t be this interested in chip tech,... even considering this is impressive. Huawei has found a creative workaround to catch up with the likes of TSMC. But what makes it even more compelling to me is the bigger story and resilience behind it. Starting in 2019, Huawei faced intense sanctions that significantly restricted their access to advanced chip technology and global supply chains. For a while, it looked like this would seriously damage or even sideline them in major way. A lot of people thought the company was done or would be stuck far behind for years. Yet Huawei refused to die. Pushed hard by those challenges, they didn’t fold or give up. Instead, they dug in, poured everything into self-reliance, research, and fresh thinking. They reinvented how they approach problems and entered a whole new era of innovation and creativity that probably wouldn’t have happened this quickly, or maybe even at all, without being forced into that corner. That’s the part I find truly inspiring. When the pressure was at its heaviest, they turned obstacles into fuel. They focused on what they could control, built up their own capabilities, and came back stronger with real breakthroughs. It’s rare to see that kind of determination pay off in such a visible way. So many observers probably believed the sanctions would destroy them or at least slow them down permanently. Instead, they lit a fire under the whole company and sparked a level of ingenuity that feels genuinely exciting to watch unfold. Sanctions were supposed to end them. Instead, they pushed Huawei into this impressive new chapter of self-reliance and forward momentum. That kind of comeback story is exactly why I’m such a big fan and why moments like this announcement feel so satisfying.show more

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has finally said... the quiet part out loud. Democracy, PPP-style, means: if people refuse to vote, slap them until they do. In Muzaffarabad, the Oxford educated heir of the Bhutto dynasty ordered his workers to give “one or two thappads” to anyone still talking about a PTI boycott. Not debate them. Just slap them into line. Because nothing says “champion of democracy” quite like turning political disagreement into a public beating. This is the same Bilawal who never stops lecturing the country about democratic values. The son of Benazir Bhutto , once sold as a symbol against dictatorship , is now casually instructing supporters to assault citizens for a political choice. The hypocrisy is almost impressive in its shamelessness. What kind of leader gets this rattled by a boycott that he has to outsource violence? What kind of “progressive” party treats voters like livestock who need a couple of slaps to remember their place? This is pure feudal instinct: ordinary people exist to obey, and if they refuse, the solution is force. The setting makes it worse. Kashmiris are still living with restrictions, unresolved grievances, and real pain. Yet Bilawal’s urgent priority is not addressing any of that , it is forcing people into a managed electoral exercise so his party can claim a “mandate.” When they refuse, the great democrat reaches for violence. His raised voice gave the game away. The boycott is working. And instead of reflection, he reached for the oldest feudal tool available. PTI stands with the people of Kashmir , not with those who think a couple of thappads will crush political resistance. We do not take lectures on democracy from a man who confuses it with domination. The decision to boycott was already correct. Bilawal’s own words have turned it into an open and shut case.show more

Can you believe people sleep under such structures? As... a journalist, I don’t stay in the same place and I’m constantly on the move. Yesterday, I decided to go spend some time with my family in Jabalia where we had tuna and mayonnaise for dinner. I went to the bathroom and saw the ceiling covered in mosquitoes and the smell of sewage was overwhelming. The living room has a massive column broken in from the neighboring building. Somehow my family is adapting to all of this. Sharing a small bowl of tuna, surrounded by a horrible smell, walls covered in mosquitoes and somehow they still manage to crack jokes and bring me joy. But still, my feeling of helplessness broke me. I couldn’t bring more than some tuna, I can’t fix a sewage system that was completely obliterated, I can’t protect them from the mosquitoes, I can’t rebuild the home. Every night, when it’s my thoughts and the buzzing of drones, I wonder if the house will collapse on my family. On my parents, my sisters, my brothers, our cat and its four kittens. I wonder if the house will get bombed while they’re all inside. I don’t want them to die without me. If they will die, I hope it’s on one of the days that I’m visiting them.

Farah Lazaar (IG mercyfulfree) is a People & Cultural... Co-Ordinator with LetsStopAIDS and International Graduate Student with Humber. During her days off, admittedly Farah Lazaar enjoys ripping down posters of murdered or kidnapped Israeli hostages while mocking them. In one video of ripping a poster of a murdered innocent hostage, Farah writes "No sympathy to occupiers" while sarcastically saying out loud "Oh no, he died." Farah Lazaar captured herself stating "Fuck Israel, Fuck USA" and even "Fuck Canada" and that "Jesus would hang himself if he was still alive." Farah is an International Graduate Student from Morocco currently studying in Toronto and most likely is not a Canadian Citizen. Farah Lazaar further has an admission that she loves Hamas, where it is even on her main profile bio. She even goes to as far as ripping down "Fuck Hamas" stickers in support of them. Hamas is a designated terrorist group in the country she's currently studying in, Canada. Farah Lazaar also uses slurs against Jews in her grammar, for example her Jawline as her "Jewline." Given her profiles are all public, posts frequently at work, and friends with many of her co-workers, LetsStopAIDS is aware of her conduct and activity, yet is still employed there. We're sure she's great with everyone unless their Jewish, right? Does she also mock Israeli's or Jews who currently have or died of AIDS as well?show more

[rant post I'll probably delete later] Today was the... most beautiful day for me. As much as i got to enjoy the happy moments i still have been feeling emotional the whole day bcs of everything that was shared by taekook. I am always praying for taehyung and jungkook’s best health. Taehyung who has been going through so much yet chose to keep his pain to himself because he didn’t want to worry armys. Taehyung who said he didn’t have anyone to rely on during his military service. Taehyung who was away from fans for two years and felt that absence so deeply that he broke down the first time he stepped on stage again. Taehyung who lost his most precious pet. Taehyung who faced injuries but never spoke about them. Taehyung who has been going through a hearing problem for 2.5 years now. Taehyung whose pain was invalidated. My heart aches for him. Jungkook who hurt his shin so badly he developed a severe inflammation and is on the verge of getting a stress fracture yet still keeps giving ARMYs 100% of his dedication and never complained. Jungkook who suffered a back injury during a performance. Jungkook who keeps asking fans to understand despite owing us nothing. Jungkook who went through such a difficult time during his military service. Jungkook who despite being one of the most sincere people when it comes to his fans is still misunderstood. Jungkook who is the most precious to my heart. My heart breaks for him. If i could somehow give both of them my share of good health and happiness I would do it in a heartbeat. There is nothing more precious to me than seeing them both healthy happy and living their best lives. despite all the happy moments they have shared with us I’m so glad they felt safe enough to share their struggles with us. I will always be forever grateful that i get to love you both. I genuinely don’t know what the purpose of my life would be without loving them with all my being. Thank you for existing. I will never take your love for granted. Take care my loves 🤍show more

"1:03 AM. Our camera caught Buddy sleeping with something... that isn't even his... It's one of our son's old t-shirts, forgotten in the laundry pile weeks ago. We found Buddy curled around it on the couch, paw draped over it like he was protecting it. He sleeps with it almost every night now. He can't call his best friend. He can't check a phone to see when he's coming home. All Buddy has is a piece of fabric that still smells like him — and somehow, that's enough to bring him comfort. We didn't teach him to do this. He just... started. The night after our son left, actually. If your dog has ever held onto something that reminds them of someone they miss, you know this kind of love doesn't need words. Drop a ❤️ for Buddy tonight.show more
