Kharkiv, Saltivka—an ordinary residential building hit by a Russian bomb. The rescue operation is ongoing, as they are searching for anyone who may have been affected. So far, 8 people are known to be injured. Everyone will be provided the necessary assistance. For such Russian strikes to stop, Ukraine must receive the required and, above all, sufficient support from the world, from partners. Every leader knows exactly what needs to be done. It is important to be decisive.

Trans-identified males are obsessed with the notion that they will be raped or abused if they use male spaces. The reason for this obsession is that, more often than not, they are using porn that depicts women being bound and / or assaulted (or men 'forcibly' transformed into women by way of sexual abuse), which they find sexually thrilling. It is a masochistic humiliation fetish. Such men see being a woman as something humiliating. (And by the time they begin "identifying" as a little girl, they've already consumed a substantial amount of BDSM content.) When these concepts are repeated in the media, the result is not only to validate the fetish, but also to humiliate women, by proxy, for the pleasure of men with this fetish.

Some maybe thinking amazing or cheering on that the New IRA is pledging to remove immigrants through a wave of violence You should not forget the IRA murdered and injured thousands of British men women and children as young as 1 years old through bombings and shootings Also these immigrants will no doubt leave Ireland and arrive in the UK.. This only shows that we are in desperate need of a UK ICE department to execute mass deportation swiftly and legally. The Government should be the ones in control of removing unwanted immigrants and only a Restore Britain government will do this

Feminist women are now using their young sons to spread their propaganda. Also, will she teach her daughter to pay equal bills and not be a gold digger who wants a man with a high income, an own house, a car, and property? Cooking is a basic life skill. Millions of men in India cook by themselves, hostel residents, college students, working men, chefs, and so on. But feminist women expect men to pay all the bills while also cooking and doing house chores. While they won’t do anything in return. They don’t want equality; they want to make men slaves.

Amruta Fadnavis, Maharashtra CM's wife spoke about TCS case She says, "The accused is a monster in human form. There can be no forgiveness for such crimes. Such people deserve the strictest possible punishment. But as a society and as families, we also need to remain alert because, in most cases, the accused are people known to the victim, often those whom we trust the most, who commit such acts. Along with this, schools should conduct more awareness programs on good touch and bad touch... My advice to the government would be that people committing such crimes should never be allowed to come out easily. They must be given the harshest punishment at the earliest. If you ask for my personal opinion, those who commit atrocities against small children should be punished publicly on the streets. But since we live in a democracy, we cannot take the law into our own hands. However, the government, police, and judiciary must not spare such people and should ensure the strictest punishment for them."

🛑 THE TRUTH ABOUT BLA & BYC WOMEN 🛑 Many are falling for propaganda spread by RAW, Afghan GDI, PTI, BYC and BLA accounts, claiming that women have joined the BLA to fight for their rights. But the reality is very different. Unlike ISIS, which uses marriage as a cover for female sex workers, the BLA and BYC are openly immoral, following a very liberal, corrupt lifestyle. Women and men openly engage in multiple relationships, even when married or with children. Some women pursue affairs with BLA commanders and members, embracing a culture far removed from societal norms. Groups like BYC exploit this open mindedness to recruit young men into BLA, creating a network built on manipulation and deception disguised as freedom. To those labeling these women as freedom fighters, pause and reflect on the reality that they are morally corrupt to the core and are using their bodies to recruit terrorists into the BLA. Balochistan stands for honor, family and the safety of its people not for foreign-backed terrorists spreading lies. This is not part of Balochistan’s culture. ⚠️ So for the people calling these women freedom fighters, please read the above and watch the videos below.

One Nation Senator Malcolm Roberts has reached a new low - even for him! He has described women attempting suicide or self-harm as 'attention seeking' while saying men who do the same are suffering a legitimate medical condition. He made the comments during Senate Estimates. Since ... well forever ... the discussions around suicide and self-harm has centred on men's experience. Women have only been an after thought but that is changing somewhat. Women attempt suicide or self-harm at much higher rates than men but men are more likely to die as a result of their attempts. We do know that 19% of women who suicide do so after experiencing domestic violence while suicide rates among women who are raped or sexually assaulted are also quite staggering. Research is slowly emerging showing how violence itself is a precursor to women ending their own lives or attempting to. And the Federal Government is holding an inquiry into domestic violence related suicide as I write. It's perfectly okay to discuss differing rates of suicides - and their causality - among women and men. But for someone in a position of influence and power to say women are attention seeking when they suicide or self-harm is grotesque. *** ❤️SUPPORT MY WORK❤️ Please support my work and the Memorial to Women and Children Lost to Violence and Australian Femicide Watch.

This 80 kg feminist woman says she overcame toxic religious restrictions and Indian culture by wearing a bikini in front of her family. Why is the empowerment of women all about wearing attire designed by Western men and justifying culture set by Western men? These women are such blind sepoys that they aren't even aware that the bikini was literally designed to sexualize women. Or they are aware of it and still worship them because they are developed nations and have the most influence on the modern world? Are Indian men also to be blamed for Indian women becoming sepoys of Western men? Because Western culture was indeed glorified by simp men in India, who adopted Western attire and culture to sexualize women and benefit from it, in movies, advertisements, etc. Can we ever bring women out of the sepoy mindset that everything Western men do is progressive and everything Indian men do is regressive? You can literally see Western men sexualizing women in yoga pants lol, but they act like the bikini is a modest attire to benefit from it. Will it change if India becomes more self-reliant and focuses on its made-in-India products, culture, etc.? Because native women worshipping foreign men is a big setback to the pride of India. The bootlicking is so insane that now they use the “it's my choice” script given by Western men.

Most people have no idea that these photos exist from the surface of Venus. Climate change is real. It’s happening on Venus and it’s happening on Earth. Did you know that Venus may have been habitable at one point in time? It’s known as Earth’s sister planet. Below are some of the only images ever taken from the surface of Venus. One day Earth may look similar to this. There is no argument that climate change is real. It happened on Venus and it’s constantly happening on Earth. Human interaction most definitely has some effects on the planet’s climate change, but so too do non-human factors — even to a greater degree. My hope is that, not only can humans work to slow down the process, but also one day come up with solutions to reverse it.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra has completely targeted its competitors at the iPhone, and no longer competes with Chinese brand phones. This is because young people in South Korea are almost completely occupied by Apple, and Samsung’s strategy is to pull these young people back, so it strives to make Galaxy look like the Apple iPhone. There are several reasons for not competing with Chinese brands: 1. On the surface, although the Chinese Ultra models have powerful cameras and are suitable for those who pursue the ultimate in images, they are only limited to these people. Overall, the sales of Ultra models are not high, and even the sum of all brands of Ultra models cannot be compared with the sales of S24Ultra. 2. Moreover, these models with powerful cameras are relatively thick and heavy, with serious camera bulges, and the design is not perfect. It cannot be perfect. This design may not be suitable for everyone. Samsung will not easily take the risk to adopt this design in the global market. 3. The infinitely enhanced camera configuration will greatly increase the cost, which is difficult for Samsung to accept, and the production of this frequently updated camera may not be able to support Samsung's sales demand of tens of millions. In short, the Chinese brand Ultra model is more like a special non-popular model suitable for geeks. The Galaxy S25 series is defined as a popular model, and it must consider everyone's feelings and sufficient supply. This is why Samsung will not design the S25 Ultra as a Chinese brand Ultra. It remains consistent with the iPhone 16 Pro Max, but subtly. It is always slightly better than it For example, it is a little thinner (8.2mm vs 8.25mm), a little lighter (219g vs 227g), a little narrower bezel, a little stronger performance, a little more camera (retain 3x), a little more ultra-wide-angle pixels (50MP vs 48MP), a little bigger battery, and a little faster charging. Even the most incredible improvement: One UI 7.1 is a little smoother than iOS18 software. This is happening.

The new male Managing Director of PSM Mr. Mohamed Saeed (2 gulha Saeed) loves women so he’s favouring them and belittling men at work. Ms. Shaushath resigned today after having issues with news head. She posted resignation on FB today. But he didn’t accept her resignation. Instead gave her a promotion. She made a mistake by calling Muizzu “Ibrahim Mohamed Solih” in a show. This is a common mistake made by many presenters, including men. But they all are kept away from presenting and distanced after they make such mistakes. But with Shaushath it was different. She was offered a promotion. People make mistakes. Giving promotion is also okay. But what’s NOT okay is Managing Director discriminating between men and women. They all must be treated equally. Managing Director must not favour women hoping he can get into pants one day. That’s very disgusting. This is how new Managing Director thinks. Getting into someone’s pants is all he can think about. I hope Shaushath is okay and gets the necessary help if it ever comes to that. Feeling obliged to sleep with boss is NOT okay.

As a gynecologist, one of the most frequently asked questions is about the ''hymen''. The hymen is not a structure located deep inside the vagina. It is a thin, flexible fold of tissue situated very close to the vaginal opening, anatomically at the entrance of the vaginal canal. It is typically found about 1–2 cm inside the vaginal opening, but in many women, it is almost at the surface. Therefore, the common belief that it is located deep inside is incorrect. One of the most important points is this: The hymen is not a closed membrane. It naturally has openings that allow menstrual blood to pass. Additionally, the structure of the hymen varies from person to person. Its thickness, elasticity, and shape are not standard. In some women, it may be very thin and elastic, while in others, it may be minimal or barely noticeable. This is completely a normal anatomical variation. A common misconception is that changes in the hymen occur only due to sexual intercourse. In reality, factors such as certain physical activities or tampon use can also lead to stretching or changes in this tissue. Therefore, the hymen is not a reliable indicator of a person’s sexual history or “virginity.” In summary, the hymen is a small and variable anatomical structure. The meanings attributed to it are largely shaped by sociocultural beliefs rather than medical facts.

This might be one of the most under-trained muscles in your whole lower leg. It's called the tibialis anterior, it runs down the front of your shin, and its main job is to lift the front of your foot up when you walk. At the lowest point of your step, your toes may only clear the floor by about a centimetre. Also called, minimum toe clearance in gait studies. This muscle is a big part of what keeps your toes off the ground. So when it gets weak, especially with age, your toes can scuff the floor and you trip more easily. That slow, foot-dragging walk you see in a lot of older people often comes down to weak shins. It's also what helps lower your foot down gently after your heel lands, instead of letting it slap flat. And because most people train their calves far more than the front of the leg, that imbalance can contribute to shin splints. A go-to for runners Also shows up in knee rehab Try this wall-supported version. You can do it anywhere.

Most recent diffusion language model research (that I’ve seen) seems to be using masking as the noising process. It looks like, however, most closed-source models (Google Gemini Diffusion and possibly Inception Labs’ Mercury) use a different noising process, where instead of masking tokens, they replace them with different tokens (either with a random token or a semantically similar token). I wondered how they were getting such high throughput with the latter noising process, since I believed that optimizing inference with KVCache approximation would be more difficult (for various reasons). I visualized this noising process with tiny-diffusion and compared it to normal unmasking, and was very surprised to see how fast the generation “settles” into a reasonable output, and then only slightly refines afterwards, requiring much fewer steps in total. Unmasking (where tokens are never remasked, the typical implementation) is inherently limited in generation speed by the fact that an increase in tokens decoded per step leads to more errors due to the mismatch between individual and marginal token probability distributions we sample from. The token replacement noising process seems to have a much different set of characteristics. Because we sample each token per step, every token makes “progress” towards the final output each iteration (in addition to *potentially* giving other tokens more information in future steps). Generally, masking has outperformed other noising processes, which is probably why most research focused on it (using smaller models). But the paper referred to in the retweet shows that random replacement as a noising process may scale better as model size increases. Big labs might have noticed these results much earlier (due to having drastically more training resources and being able to test larger models), which may explain the discrepancy in the choice of noising process. I’m gonna test this with larger models, since tiny-diffusion only has 10M parameters.

What struck me about this video of “fake virginity blood” being sold in Northern Nigeria is not the product itself, but the moral education that makes such a product necessary. Deception does not appear out of nowhere. It is learned. And as bell hooks reminds us, patriarchy is one of the most effective schools of deception we have. When a society places impossible and one-sided moral demands on women, while demanding almost nothing from men, it does not produce virtue. It produces performance. Virginity here is not really about sex. It is about proof. About a woman’s body being turned into evidence. The hymen becomes a certificate of value. Blood becomes currency. Honour becomes something that must be staged convincingly enough to satisfy male judgment. Growing up in Northern Nigeria, many of us heard the stories in whispers. Rumours about the lengths people went to preserve the myth of virginity. Women avoiding vaginal penetration entirely. Anal sex used as a workaround, so that on the wedding night the illusion could be completed. Blood shown. Husband reassured. Honour “intact.” Everyone colluding in a lie that everyone knows is a lie. This is not moral decay. It is moral absolutism doing what it always does. It teaches people how to deceive in order to survive. bell hooks writes that patriarchy teaches men and women to lie in different ways. Men learn to lie about vulnerability. They are trained to suppress fear, tenderness, emotional need, because honesty would cost them power or status. Women, on the other hand, learn to lie to stay safe. They learn that telling the truth about their bodies, desires, or histories can bring punishment, abandonment, or violence. So women learn concealment. Performance. Strategic silence. Seen this way, fake virginity blood is not shocking. It is logical. It is a market solution to a moral contradiction. If a woman’s worth is reduced to an anatomical fiction, she will find a way to manufacture that fiction. And we must ask the obvious question: where is the demand for virginity from men? Where is the obsession with their bodies as proof of moral worth? Where are the rituals, the products, the inspections? Men are assumed whole by default. Women must prove themselves worthy. The tragedy is not that women deceive. The tragedy is that honesty is made dangerous for them. A society that truly cared about morality would start with symmetry. It would care less about blood on bedsheets and more about kindness, responsibility, and mutual respect. Until then, deception will continue to flourish. Not because women are immoral, but because patriarchy demands purity while rewarding power. And whenever purity is demanded without justice, lies will follow.

Women are revising their social media boyfriend requirements for 2026. OUT: 🆇 “Must be over 6 feet.” 🆇 “Must make over 6 figures.” 🆇 “Must own his own home.” IN: ✅ “Must like me.” ✅ “Must not be angry all the time.” ✅ “Must not cheat 24/7.” This is (in part) due to the male retreat from the dating space. There are more long-term single men than at any time in at least a century. Single men are more disinterested in dating and women than any time in at least a century. Women, as a result, are getting approached less, going on fewer dates, and running into far fewer men who actually want relationships (and a lot more guys ‘just playing the field’). You’d probably have to go back to the 1850s, with 300,000 men pushing west to seek their riches in California, living in frontier towns with 10-to-1 male-to-female ratios, to find a time with as many single men unfocused on women. (The shift in women’s ‘going rate’ is also due to the real economy declining… just like how in the roaring 1920s, when the economy was great and everything kept going up, women were flappers who delayed marriage and called wedding rings ‘handcuffs’ and ‘manacles’, but after the stock market crashed in 1929, and the Great Depression got underway, the flappers disappeared and the women of the 1930s suddenly became much more interested in getting hitched.) Anyway: If you are one of the dudes who has foresworn women and dating: thanks for your service, brother 🫡 If you are one of the dudes who is out there getting after it, though: you can look forward to a continuation in 2026 of women softening their stances, making themselves MORE available, asking you to jump through fewer hoops than ever, and acting clingier and needier if they think they have a chance with you. Just make sure you are out IN FIELD chatting up women, flirting with women, getting them onto dates, and inviting them home. You just need to be IN the game. A lot of guys aren’t in the game anymore (or they are locked up on screens, trying to do stuff online, trying to get girls by liking their pics, ‘sliding into their DMs’, where the odds are seriously stacked against ordinary men… ESPECIALLY compared to IRL). 2026 is bringing an increasingly WIDE open field with girls. FOR the guys who’ll be out there playing in it, that is!

A Bitter Reality We Must Confront This is a painful reality that many of us—especially Hausa Muslims—must be willing to discuss honestly. As Sheikh Lawan Abubakar Triumph (may Allah preserve and protect him) rightly pointed out, the culture of begging that has become associated with the Almajiri system is not an Islamic teaching. It is a social problem that has, unfortunately, become deeply entrenched in parts of Northern Nigeria. The Sheikh observed that even in countries poorer than Nigeria, such as Sudan, Benin Republic, and Ghana, it is not uncommon to find some of our own people begging on the streets. Able-bodied men, women, and even children have come to treat begging as a means of livelihood. This is contrary to the teachings of Islam, which honour work, dignity, and self-reliance. It is also important to reject the false claim that today’s begging culture is synonymous with the noble Islamic concept of Al-Muhajir (the emigrant for the sake of Allah). They are not the same. Using religion to justify or institutionalize street begging is both historically and religiously inaccurate. A painful sight in many of our cities is seeing elderly women, before sunrise, taking young children to street corners—not to earn an honest living, but to beg. In contrast, many other elderly women, majority of other ethnicities, leave their homes at the same hour to sell bread, fry akara, hawk vegetables, or engage in other lawful work. They are teaching their grandchildren that dignity comes through effort, not dependence on handouts. This is not about ethnicity. Every community has its strengths and its weaknesses. But where begging becomes normalized & even defended in the name of culture or religion, society must pause and ask hard questions. Islam encourages productive work, condemns habitual begging without genuine necessity, and commands Muslims to preserve their honour. We should therefore invest in genuine Qur’anic education, vocational skills, entrepreneurship, and social support for the truly needy—not perpetuate a system that traps generations in dependency. If we truly love our people, we must have the courage to acknowledge this problem and work together to solve it. Reforming the Almajiri system, abolishing street begging, protecting children, empowering families, and restoring the dignity of labour are responsibilities we all share. May Allah guide us to what is right, grant dignity to our people through lawful means, and protect our children from every path that leads to dependence and humiliation. Āmīn.

The discourse around the Eze penalty last night is fascinating. If nothing else it provides Arteta with an excuse as to how his team has been hard done by and robbed. He loves excuses. It’s a fascinating situation because I actually think the right outcome was reached albeit through the wrong process. Once given on the field under the current rules it shouldn't have been overturned. For that Arsenal can feel aggrieved. Don't forget Arsenal were the beneficiaries of an incredibly soft penalty in Leverkusen. It wasn’t overturned. I find the attached video interesting because it clearly shows how minimal the contact is. The defender doesn’t pin Ezes foot to the ground. Doesn’t smash into it. It brushes down the side of it. It’s where the still pictures of it were wildly misleading. Are we really saying that contact such as that is worthy of a penalty? What’s clear in the video is that Eze has absolutely made the most of the slight contact. I love the straight left leg. A very natural position. It’s a brilliant dive and normally it would have been rewarded. By saying that is a stone wall penalty all we are doing is encouraging such theatrics and cheating. Whenever you hear the words “that was clever” by a commentator they are intimating the player has cheated/made the most of it. We complain about refs all the time but what chance do they have when players are doing stuff like this. Until players are punished properly there is no disincentive for players to keep doing this stuff. I also find it fascinating when you have a foot brushed like this. When you compare it to all the holding/pushing/grappling at other times. Sometimes a contact sport and others not. Is this really what football has become?

China Successfully Tests New Hypersonic Missile with 8,000 km Range The Chinese have successfully tested a variant of a hypersonic missile, which is actually a glide vehicle: the DF-27A. The average speed was Mach 8.6, and it covered 2,100 km in 12 minutes. This is just one more in a series of several Chinese anti-ship missiles. While much of the West treats military service as an economic activity, the Chinese are preparing for a real war. There is no room there for playing around with a new class of battleships or listening to the lobby for expensive energy. China has a national industrial and military project that Western nations currently can only dream of achieving. Of course, it's part of the Western style to live life differently. But there is a serious missile gap, with China far ahead of the West. An 8,000 km range means hitting a ship in Hawaii without leaving mainland China. And there are other missile models with ranges of 3,000–4,000 km. Intercepting these hypersonic missiles once launched is extremely difficult, but what can be done is to prevent them from having precise guidance capability. Just as land doctrines are being redesigned, so is naval warfare, by hypersonic missiles and aerial and underwater drones. Projects are now underway for drones capable of bypassing protective nets. Today, the Chinese have more missiles in stock than the Soviets had at their peak. And I won't even mention drones, as the numbers are almost unimaginable. Only a major reform could improve the West’s position. The West is currently developing some missile systems that should be available around 2030, but a doctrinal reform is also necessary. Countries cannot fight in 2025 the same way wars were fought decades ago; a complete reform is required. This reminds me of Ukrainian soldiers who, after being trained in the West and then facing the reality of the battlefield, said that the training was completely inadequate for the kind of war they were actually fighting. It is precisely to avoid this kind of mismatch that reforms need to be carried out. *Illustrative video- may contain inaccuracies.*
