🇵🇾🥺 Even before the ball started rolling in Paraguay... against Australia, the World Cup had already delivered one of its most beautiful scenes. As soon as the Paraguayan anthem ended, the camera caught a father and son hugging, filled with emotion, their eyes full of tears country’s anthem and, at the same time, the unique feeling of experiencing the biggest stage of world football together. The World Cup has this power. It makes time stop for a few seconds unites generations, and transforms a simple hug into an eternal memory. Because football is never just about what happens inside the four lines. Sometimes, the most striking image of match happens even before the opening whistle. ❤️🌍⚽️ A scene that perfectly sums up the spirit of a World Cup.show more

This is hard to watch! Two passenger planes full... of people 😳 The FAA says they were at a safe distance and it was just the camera angle, but watching that emphasizes the importance of good air traffic control! The EU passed a regulation that literally bars American companies from providing air traffic control services in Europe, but we’re over here possibly handing our ATC modernization contracts to European firms? In what world does that make sense? Time to put America first again!show more

Dear Friends, After almost 27 years of combined service... to our great Nation as a Soldier and a DoD/DoW Civilian, I am officially retired. It has been an incredible honor to serve under these Colors. Each day I looked up and saw our Flag flying brilliantly and boldly, I drew pride in knowing I had contributed something - no matter how small and innocuous my contributions felt at the time - to the preservation of the ideals upon which our Nation was founded and for which those Colors stand. I had the opportunity to retire early and I took it. Because a new mission set calls. Serving with Team Iron Will full-time to champion the intrinsic value of people with Down syndrome and defend/advocate for the most vulnerable in our society. I can’t wait to engage with y’all more frequently and to see what we can achieve together! Relentless. Forward. Progress. #TeamIronWill #DownSyndromeAdvocacyshow more

[BREAKING] FROM HABIBI & HABIBTI TO CUTIES: DUSTBIA HEAD... BACK TO THE MOTHERLAND [#DBspatch | Exclusive] Work or "Work-ation"? After a successful stint at the MMFF51 Konsyerto sa UAE, our favorite duo is officially en route back to the Philippines! Ditching the usual baseball caps for full "main character" energy, Dustin and Bianca were spotted in matching eyeglasses that couldn't hide those "pagod-pero-kinikilig" eyes. The real highlight? That unbeatable height difference. Dustin looked every bit the "Protector" while Bianca kept the chemistry levels at an all-time high as they navigated the terminal. It seems the Burj Khalifa wasn't the only skyscraper in Dubai—Bianca only had eyes for her favorite one! Safe skies, DustBia! See you in Manila! #DustBia #BiancaDeVera #DustinYushow more

🚨 PHYSICISTS JUST CONFIRMED “NEGATIVE TIME” IS REAL IN... A MIND-BENDING QUANTUM EXPERIMENT. Light can exit a cloud of atoms before it even enters. In a new experiment, researchers fired photons through a dense cloud of ultra-cold atoms and measured something that shouldn’t be possible in classical physics. Some photons appeared to spend a negative amount of time inside the cloud effectively leaving before they had fully arrived. Why this matters: • This isn’t time travel it’s a quantum effect involving how light interacts with matter at the deepest level • It comes from “weak measurements” that let scientists observe the system without fully disturbing it • The atoms themselves “report” spending negative time in an excited state • It challenges our everyday intuition about cause and effect in quantum systems The deeper implication is enormous: We are seeing the strange, non-intuitive nature of quantum mechanics play out in real experiments. Time at the quantum scale doesn’t always behave like the arrow we experience in daily life. Effects can appear to precede causes in measurable ways without breaking relativity or causality. This is one of the clearest experimental windows yet into how reality works at its most fundamental level. What do you think does “negative time” change how you see reality, or is it just another quantum quirk we’ll eventually get used to? Follow for more frontier physics and reality-bending discoveries.show more

Can a handcuff made of paper really lock your... heart in place? 回帖里还有另一版，哪个更好？ Seedance prompt: 👉👉👊👊Presented in a style that resembles real video footage captured with an unprocessed iPhone handheld camera. All camera settings are automated. The footage features noticeable handheld shake and operator breathing sounds. Autofocus operates quickly in dim environments, frequently searching for targets among colored lights, with delays. Automatic white balance changes dramatically with the shift between purple-blue lighting on the stage and skin highlights. The image is generally dark and noisy, but retains real lens flares, overexposure in high-light areas, motion blur, and severe background blurring. Only in-built environmental sounds are used: low-frequency electronic music from the nightclub (severely distorted through the phone microphone), noise from crowds, and drumbeats with a sense of vibration. The microphone also has significant distortion at low frequencies. The footage is captured from the perspective of real people/audience members. The composition is occasionally imperfect, with slight tilts or cropping at the edges. A young Asian woman is used as a reference for the appearance of the character. She has long black wavy hair, and she is wearing… She wore a golden sequined dress, standing on the stage of the nightclub. At 0-3 seconds, the camera pans slightly within the crowd at the nightclub, with the image being slightly dark, focusing on the stage. In front of her, a black-clothed person wearing a mask handed her several folded white strips of paper. She took the papers, then slowly wrapped them around her wrists, simulating the effect of being tied with ropes. Her movements were deliberate and slow. The white paper left obvious marks on her wrists. From time to time, she would look up at the camera, with a playful smile on her lips. The stage was illuminated by purple-blue lights, with the camera adjusting its exposure between the lights and the person in front of it, resulting in slight overexposure and noise in the image. In the background, we could see the stage lights reflecting off the crowd and equipment, with noisy environmental sounds in the background. At 3-7 seconds, the camera moves forward, switching to a closer handheld perspective.She wore white strips around her wrists (simulating ropes), and began to perform in a seductive dance pose before the first-person camera. Her body moved slowly, with her hands “bound” by the strips, either overlapping or raised forward. Her waist and hips swayed gently to the rhythm of the music, her eyes fixed straight at the camera, with a hint of teasing and inviting gaze. Occasionally, she would look down at her wrists, then raise her head again, her eyes casting an even more suggestive light toward the camera. She leaned forward, her movements full of seduction yet elegant. The golden sequin dress shimmered under the colored lights, and the camera quickly locked onto her image. The male singer and stage lighting in the background were heavily blurred, creating a strong mobile phone-style background blur and light spots. The low-frequency music was severely distorted through the microphone, and the camera shook slightly due to the operator’s proximity, along with the sound of breathing.The entire scene depicts a dark, noisy, and unstable environment, reminiscent of a real nightclub setting. At the end of the scene, the camera focuses on her hands, wrapped in white paper, as she maintains a seductive dancing posture. Her eyes are fixed straight ahead, and the camera moves slightly back and forth.show more

A new split-screen prompt experiment. Prompt : Sweeping romantic... harbor festival at sunset with lanterns, sea wind, warm amber glow, and crowds moving through music and laughter. Split screen vertically for the full sequence. On the left side, follow her with a soft floating camera weaving through dancers and market stalls as she suddenly notices him across the harbor square. On the right side, show the same instant from his perspective, a slow push through lantern light and passing couples as he spots her at exactly the same moment. Both halves mirror the same event but with different emotional emphasis, her side showing hesitation and vulnerability, his side showing disbelief and hope. The camera on each half circles slightly as they begin moving toward one another through the crowd, with near misses, shifting eyelines, and people crossing frame in sync. Climax: both sides reach the seawall at the same time, and the split screen collapses visually in spirit as their hands meet. Ending: hold the split for a few seconds longer even in the embrace, showing each face from the other’s point of view as lanterns rise behind them.show more

It is hypocritical for a country that dropped two... nukes on civilian heads killing millions in Japan, to dictate India, to use our sense in war. Nevertheless, In just 3 days, this is what #India did with #Pakistan ✔ Destroyed several Airbase, inside Pakistan ( almost 12 ) ✔ Several terror camps destroyed. [ POK & Pakistan ] ✔ Chinese Air Defense proved to be a waste toy. [ Couldn't even hit drones, leave alone the Indian missiles ] ✔ Killed 100's of Terrorists. ✔ Several jets shot down. ✔ Many jets damaged at air base. [ Image of C130 on fire captured ] ✔ Air defence system destroyed at many locations. Rendering Pakistan defenseless. Salute to Indian Army & Defence. Thank you PM Modi & NSA for a strong leadership. 🇮🇳 ❤️ 💪 But, Have faith in Pakistani IQ, they will violate the ceasefire & get banged by India again. Harder each time.show more

oh this will sting so much im not ready... 😮‍💨 #เสน่หาวาโย *SPOILERS* :') . . . "wayo" "blew" "karel told me you wanted to see me" "yes. i wanted to see you once more. not as princess catherine... just as blew. i'm leaving for thailand" "i know. karel told me about the change in your plans. don't worry—he'll handle everything" "so... this is really how our story ends, like a fairytale with no happy ending?" catherine looked into the eyes of the woman who spoke to her in such quiet, broken voice—full of so much unspoken emotion. and in those eyes, she saw the reflection of her own shaken soul. "i'm sorry, wayo" her voice, heavy with guilt and sorrow, fell softly. she lowered her gaze—unable to look at the pain, the disappointment, the heartbreak in wayo's eyes. and part of her was afraid—afraid that her own sorrow, equally deep, would be seen. that the one who loved her most might refuse to let their story end. but they couldn't go on. there was never a path for the two of them to walk together. even if it was brief, catherine would never forget the memories, the feelings that she had never experienced with anyone else before. even if the love couldn't be. even if they couldn't be. she would carry her love for wayo quietly, within the depths of her own heart... "from now on, i want you to live your life well—even without me. and i'll do the same. i'll live and fulfill my duties the best i can" "so you can really forget everything we had?" "no matter how long, i promise i'll never forget the story and memories of phatpha and wind" "is there any way... we can go back to being wind and phatpha?" "i can't be selfish and pursue my own happiness—not when so many lives have been sacrificed. in madelin, i have so many duties i can't turn my back on. at the very least... think of it this way—when helena, the fake princess, left this world... i died in your heart, too. because phatpha is gone from wind's world... and will never return" at last, the truth wayo had dreaded came to pass. all the time she spent waiting, trying to delay the inevitable, had been in vain. she couldn't hold on to the heart she loved or the hand she once held. "you know... it feels like you just broke up with me, blew" "wayo..." "and this love... it hurts more than anything i've ever known. because i got my heart broken... without even being yours" catherine watched tears spill from wayo's reddened eyes, the pain too much to contain. her heart felt crushed—shattered into fragments just as wayo's heart. if the pieces of their hearts were scattered by the wind across this garden, no one would ever know whose heartbreak hurt more. "i love you. this will be the last time i ever say it—even if you never loved me back. goodbye forever, princess catherine" wayo bowed her head in respect to the noble princess catherine, her farewell words cutting deeper into the wounds of her heart—so deep - it was almost unbearable. but life had to go on. just like now, as she forced her weakened legs to move forward, while the princess walked away, back to her rightful place. the distance between them stretched farther with each step until it was far beyond reach. just like their hearts—never meant to walk side by side...show more

I thought a lot in these days to write... about what happened in the past days, but because i saw them already lying (looks like to be liar is their inner nature) i will talk about the bad behavior and disrespect of cpf fans aka #bjyx or #yizhan during the days of mfw. I think everyone can stay outside the shows to see their favorite celebrities but respect should be the main value to follow, you are there for Xiao Zhan, he is doing his work, why are you bringing irrelevant people into HIS JOB EVENT?! Why do you want to push your fanfictions into his face? Why have you to disturb the common order of everyone there? Even people from other fandoms were shocked by their behavior! I will divide everything into 3 chapters - - 25th G show. They found a spot and attach a dirty banner and even G brand staff came out from the event asking to the removal of their disgusting banner and brought it away. I add also video of the fact. The cpf tried also to disguise herself wearing a red jacket, but she was not happy, the moment G brand staff went away with the banner, instead to be ashamed, she brought out new banners, with the visible surname of another person and their yellow colors! She also argued for long with a poor security guy who was really done So are you there for what? To see someone you claim to be fan or just for a selfish pleasure being disrespectful towards xz?!? - 27th we organized a loch special screening in a cinema, we were us xfx + some passerby we invited, the hall was private booked and it was totally filled. But some of them came to the cinema and argued even with the cinema staff! They tried to snatch into a private event and threaten the cinema staff 😱 - 28th T brand even was the worst day. They tried to pick fights since 3 am in between the street 😱 they stole one of our stool, they started to play loud wuji AT 5AM IN THE MIDDLE OF A CITY!!! wth?! This is a disturbance for everyone, it’s not allowed! I had a small group of 4/5 behind me and they screamed to my ears every fk 10/15 min, trying to pick fights with us (we ignored them 95% of the time) and continue to push their luggage toward my friend who wasn’t even allowed to sit down for this! They were so chaotic and such a disturbance that after a while even the security guard in our zone noticed they were weird and started to monitored them closer. At certain time they exploded again and even the security guard was able to contain the she brought out new banners, with the visible surname of another person and their yellow colors!

Exactly five years ago Fahim & I launched the... very first version of NMKR. Back then NFTs were completely new, Native Assets on Cardano just became a thing, Cardano had no support for Smart Contracts & the Spacebudz were barely 1 month old. NMKR was still called NFT-MAKER and our primary colour was blue, not green. Fahim designed the page & I built NFT-MAKER v1 in a few days, while writing my final university thesis (about creating a Metaverse on Cardano btw). There was nothing going on in Cardano, no dApps, no users, nothing. ADA price was at less than 10ct (if i remember correctly) and all of Cardano X was just Stake Pool Operators shilling their Stake Pool to other Stake Pool Operators. NFT-MAKER became incredibly popular very quickly, even though you could only mint 1 NFT at a time and the tool was super rudimentary. But people liked it and we minted I believe almost 50,000+ NFTs just with NFT-MAKER v1. Then NMKR Studio launched a few months later and changed everything. Today 5 years later, with many very high highs & low lows I look back and can proudly say: We're still here. And even though the market has changed a lot, the team has changed, cofounders left, we almost ran out of money multiple times + all the other hard things we had to do, we've adapted and have shown resilience. We're still in the game and we'll not stop until we win. Thank you to everyone who has supported us in all these years. It really means a lot. Happy Birthday NMKR 🎉show more

14 years ago today, Odd Future (Odd Future) dropped... "Oldie"—one of their most iconic videos that almost didn't happen. It only did because T refused to let anyone turn the camera off.⁠ ⁠ The members of the group told the story of that day in an oral history published by The Ringer in 2022. When Odd Future descended on Milk Studios in Chelsea, the session unraveled fast. The XXL staff "were understandably trying to contain a group of rowdy kids," Mike G recalled, "but we weren't having it."⁠ ⁠ Someone plugged in an iPhone, "Oldie" came through the speakers, and director Lance Bangs kept his camera rolling over objections from the room. The moment Tyler realized what was happening, he called the shots: "No, f*ck that, Lance, keep shooting this sh*t.” What followed was a single, unedited take of the entire 10-minute posse cut performed live.⁠ ⁠ For thebe kgositsile, freshly back from Samoa and still finding his footing, the whole day had a surreal quality: "It just felt like a cartoon, in the sense that n****s just was doin' whatever they wanted to do." For Tyler, zooming out in real time, the stakes were clearer: “I’ve seen music documentaries, this might be the last time everyone's together so we need to document this."⁠ ⁠ He was right. "A f*ckin' balloon popped that night, and we all went in our own directions. That was the last time we was all together like that. Still,” Tyler explained. Frank, looking back, arrived at the same place: "The atmosphere reminds me of how it feels to be in a room full of musicians where everyone is improvising and for a brief period it's pure magic. It's the same rush."⁠ ⁠ Bangs edited the footage on a laptop during a red-eye to Portland. It now sits at over 56 million views. It cost nothing.⁠show more

*SEVERE geomagnetic storm possible with U.S. aurora borealis display*... *Northern lights possible at mid-latitudes early Sunday morning or Sunday night* *Specifics TBD – map coming later today* On Friday evening Eastern time, a major solar flare occurred from sunspot #4100. A sunspot is a bruise-like discoloration on the sun that throbs and pulsates with energy. Following the solar flare, which is a flash of light and radiation, a significant CME — or coronal mass ejection — was hurled directly toward Earth. Imagine a shockwave of magnetism and high-energy particles rippling through space like an interstellar tsunami. It’s heading for us at speeds around 1,200 miles per second — that’s very fast! We know it’s Earth-directed because our sensors indicate a “full halo” CME. See the solar material appearing to fan out in all directions? That’s an indicator it’s Earth-bound. It’s like if a train is coming right at you — you’d only see the train getting bigger. Once this electromagnetic shockwave reaches Earth, the energy will be absorbed and dissipated by our magnetic field. It will be transformed into visible light — the aurora. Since there’s a LOT of energy, we’ll probably get the aurora borealis (the northern lights) down to the mid latitudes. This could mean parts of the central United States, the Midwest, the Mid-Atlantic and perhaps as far south as northern California. There’s even a chance that parts of the Mid-South could see the aurora IF a direct impact occurs and the orientation of Earth’s magnetic field cooperates. Scientists at the Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colorado are working to iron that out.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

I came to Linea.eth as a crypto newbie, afraid... to even make a couple of transactions. The testnet toughened me up and taught me a lot. Linea Voyage gave me more confidence and knowledge - I was farming LXP and learning, but mostly in a mechanical way. 👨‍🔬 Everything changed one day when my friend sent me a tweet from Linea announcing that a Frog NFT collection would launch on the network. Without hesitation, I joined the Ethereum Frogs 🐸 Telegram chat and started grinding for WL. Right away, I met Pran, Sᕼᗩᘻᗩ, 0xSupertramp🥕, and the OGs, who are still in the community today. From that moment, activity in Linea became full of life! ❤️‍🔥 We learned, made mistakes, tried new things - every single day! Without exaggeration, we started and ended our days together 🐸 Later, I became Frog of the Month alongside Cipresa and bilgute.eth🐸, and our leader, Sᕼᗩᘻᗩ, invited us to a conference in Brussels. That was something else! We attended the conference, side events, learned, worked, watched football, and drank beer together with Linea.eth! I was amazed at how close the team was to the community and how open everyone was. As time passed, I became even more involved in eFrogs and joined the team as a moderator. CROAK had already been launched, we were making new partnerships almost daily, we launched the new eFroglets collection, and we just kept building! We launched PondFun (and are now preparing for its revival). We met with Linea again, this time in Singapore at TOKEN2049, and even presented our project to vitalik.eth. Throughout the conferences, I was lucky to meet, listen to, and connect with so many amazing people Trantor, Suza, Declan Fox, Francesco Andreoli ᵍᵐ, cam, Big Iron Chris, alain.linea.eth, Ema // (🫰,✨), , ZeroLend - I’m even afraid to tag them all because I know they won’t fit in one message! We have so many friends, and it’s all thanks to Linea! The market can be tough, but challenges test and strengthen us. eFrogs keep building and bringing life to the Linea ecosystem. And we keep going because we believe in somETHing! Today, Ethereum Frogs 🐸 is celebrating a birthday! This year has flown by quickly and productively! 🐸💪 Happy birthday, eFrogs! Shama, thank you!show more

Might be time to give up on Bobcat Company... . When our machine was in the shop, we had them replace the drive belt. First job out today, the drive belt fails. Machine’s now stranded on the customer’s property and completely immobile. We called it in and were told the earliest a tech could come out is next Tuesday. That’s a full week of a machine just sitting, dead in the water. Totally unacceptable and not a good sign of reliability. They charged us for a new belt and pulley, which we’ll now be installing ourselves tomorrow. And they tried to spin it like maybe we did something wrong. We didn’t. At the exact same time, our other machine starts spewing hydraulic fluid from the arm. No obvious cause. Our 2025 has been in the shop 5 times already. The 2019? Even more. I’d understand this stuff if we were slamming these things into trees or neglecting maintenance, but that’s not what’s happening. These are just mechanical issues that keep stacking up. All this is happening while we’re right at the finish line on buying a new T86. Honestly? I’m second guessing it. The guys in service and sales have been great, no complaints there, but the reliability just hasn’t been. We need a third machine, and we need it yesterday. Starting to look hard at the Takeuchi TL12 now. We’ll see what happens.show more

🇷🇺🎉 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
