Everyone’s favourite Disney space toy, Buzz Lightyear, has been branded an LGBTQ+ ally after gagging onlookers at a Disney parade while dancing with a rainbow Pride fan. TikTok user BrittBrattCattt uploaded a short yet telling clip of Toy Story’s masc space king Buzz Lightyear at one of the Walt Disney World Resort park parades, in which he asserts his support for the queers. Grabbing a rainbow-coloured Pride fan from an onlooker, Buzz struts his stuff and werks the floor, before ‘thworping’ the fan and carrying on with his day. The TikTok user uploaded the clip, with Lady Gaga’s LGBTQ+ anthem “Born This Way” playing over the top, alongside the caption: “Buzz is an ALLY (now canon).” 📷 TT: BrittBrattCattt

A thousand days of full-scale war is a very difficult path, and we are enduring it because we have friends like Denmark by our side, and leaders like Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. I am deeply grateful to Mette Frederiksen for her personal leadership, her team, and the Danish people for their support of Ukraine and our people. Today, we have a new support package from Denmark, focused primarily on the long-range capabilities that our country urgently needs. Together, we have created a special Danish model for developing Ukraine’s defense industry, and we will continue to strengthen this cooperation. We are already preparing for further joint efforts at the European institutional level. 🇺🇦🇩🇰

Star Wars pioneered so many special effects that we take for granted today. When filming the destruction of Alderaan in Star Wars, the effects team at Industrial Light & Magic used a surprisingly simple practical effect. The planet was a painted sphere suspended in front of a black backdrop. To create the explosion, they rigged the miniature with pyrotechnics and filmed it with high-speed cameras at a faster frame rate so the blast would appear massive and cinematic when slowed down. One interesting detail is that the explosion was partially achieved using gasoline and powdered cement. The cement gave the blast a heavier, planetary look rather than a quick fireball. Because the miniature exploded outward so quickly, the slowed footage helped sell the illusion of an entire planet tearing apart in space. The shot lasts only a few seconds in the final film but became one of the most iconic visual effects moments in cinema history, created years before CGI existed. (Original 1977 footage)

A well-deserved standing ovation for these record-setting Jayhawks as they leave the field one final time at Hoglund Ballpark. A truly transformative season ends on the doorstep of Omaha, but with so many firsts and bests along the way from an all-time great Jayhawk team. This group not only put Lawrence, KS on the college baseball map hosting our first ever Regionals and Super Regionals, but honestly, they united and ignited a Jayhawk fanbase in ways I’ve never seen a spring sport do in all my years on campus. It was truly a magical run for Fitz Magic and his team. A season, a ball club and the start of a new home field atmosphere that we’ll never, ever forget. Rock Chalk, Jayhawk.

"Their owner passed away alone in his apartment. Nobody found him for three days. The dogs waited the whole time." When animal control finally arrived, Max and Buddy were sitting by the front door. Not destructive. Not panicked. Just sitting. Waiting. Doing what he had always taught them to do. They came to our shelter with nothing. No records. No vet history. No family contact. Just each other. And one old tennis ball that somebody thought to grab on the way out. That was eleven days ago. Every morning they sit at the kennel door and wait. Every time they hear footsteps they both stand up. Every time those footsteps pass — they go back and lie down together. They don't know he's not coming. They just know he always came back before. Max is 6. Buddy is 5. Both healthy. Both gentle. Both heartbreakingly good dogs. Neither one will do well separated. They have never spent a night apart. They were somebody's whole world. Now they need somebody to be theirs. If you are in the USA and you have room in your home and your heart — please share this until it reaches the right person. They've already waited long enough. Drop a ❤️ for Max and Buddy. And please — SHARE. One share could be everything.

It’s hard to believe we're on the final day of our campaign to save the farm and keep our special Esther Magic in Campbellville with Operation Angels. In just two short months, we've raised over half a million dollars to help bring this dream to life. Although we haven't hit our goal yet, what we've achieved is incredible. With over 6,100 contributors from 39 countries totaling over $560,000, this is a global affair in typical Esther fashion. This project is designed to generate revenue to support sanctuaries and rescue organizations and serve as a model for revenue-generating programs at existing facilities. What sets us apart is our approach to drawing revenue from a new demographic to ease the pressure on current donors and an educational program to better equip animal organizations for the challenges they face. This project represents everything Esther stood for: kindness, compassion, inclusion, and support. I can't think of a better way to honor her and the community of like-minded people who make our little corner of the internet unique. The campaign will remain active until 4 am ET on August 1st, so we have less than 17 hours to give it our best and finish strong. To anyone who hasn't contributed, I hope you’ll consider doing so today because we could certainly use your help. We may not reach our goal, and that’s okay. Don’t be discouraged. It just means we keep going because come hell or high water, we’re going back to Campbellville. Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far and to everyone who has liked, shared, and commented on campaign posts these last two months. You have all played a critical role, and I am eternally grateful for your support and encouragement. It is an honor and a privilege to be part of this project with all of you. It represents the end of an era and the start of a new and exciting one. We’re going to do amazing things together, and I can't wait to get back to work. See you all live tonight for our final campaign Garden Chat at 6:30 PM ET. xoxo Steve.
