This is the worst art restoration in history. An 81-year-old woman with no training did it. In broad daylight. With the priest's permission. And nobody stopped her. The original was called Ecce Homo, a small fresco of Christ crowned with thorns, painted around 1930 by the Spanish artist Elías García Martínez straight onto the wall of a church in Borja, in northeastern Spain. After eighty years the damp in the walls had begun to eat the paint away, so in 2012 a parishioner named Cecilia Giménez decided to save it. She was 81, she had loved painting all her life, but she had no training whatsoever. What she left on the wall was a blurred and wide-eyed face staring out of the plaster. When the town saw it, officials assumed the church had been vandalised, and reportedly considered taking legal action. Then they found out it was Cecilia. She could not understand the fuss. "The priest knew it," she told Spanish television. "I've never tried to do anything hidden." She also insisted she had not even finished. She had left the paint to dry and gone away for two weeks, intending to come back and complete the job. She never got the chance... Within days the image had crossed the planet. The internet named it Ecce Mono, and Monkey Jesus, and Potato Jesus, and turned it into thousands of memes. Not everyone was laughing. For the people who prayed in that church, it was not a joke at all. Some of them called it a desecration, and some called it blasphemy. Whatever the world saw in the image, they had lost the face they had knelt in front of all their lives. And people now travel across the world to see the thing that replaced it. In the year after the "restoration", around 57,000 visitors came to Borja, a town most of them could not have found on a map. But the point is this: the beautiful face that Elías García Martínez painted is gone... Nobody ever thinks about him. He was a trained artist and a teacher at the fine arts school in Zaragoza, and around 1930 he stood in front of that wall and painted the face of Christ onto it by hand. The whole world knows what happened to his painting. Almost nobody knows his name.

For ⭕️Faerie ❤️ Calling her an artist barely covers it. She did not simply make art. She made environments. Light, fabric, color, movement, paintings, installations, canopies, flags. She created entire worlds that people could enter, stand beneath, and experience. Then she came to X and did the same thing with words. She was a Jew and a lioness. She fought antisemitism and stood unapologetically for Israel and the Jewish people. She spoke for people whose voices were being crushed. She carried stories others ignored and demanded that the world pay attention. She was fierce without surrendering her tenderness. There were Shabbat candles. Torah. Humor. Nature. Warmth. Beauty. A wish for peace sent across the world from her paradise island in Thailand. She once wrote that she spent her working days “fighting my heart out here.” She did. Heart first. All of it. That is what made her special. She did not separate the artist from the fighter, the Jew from the lioness, or the lioness from the beautiful soul. They were all the same woman. One of her final gifts to us was a Shabbat blessing, wishing her friends peace and the company of those they loved. May that peace surround her now. May the light she created continue to find us in the dark. May her courage remain in everyone she strengthened. May her memory be a blessing. זכרונה לברכה The Jewish people have lost a lioness. The world has lost a genuine artist and a beautiful soul. And many of us have lost a friend.

I genuinely cannot understand how someone can watch this story and still stand there, looking at two women, and somehow decide that the wrong one is the victim. On one side, you have a girl (Yıldız) who has been mistreated her entire life. Since the moment she was born, she was treated like a sacrifice for a conflict she was never even part of and later we find out that this conflict never even existed. Her right to study was taken from her. She was pushed into a marriage at a very young age just imagine being six, seven, eight years old, living in fear of being tied to someone you don’t even know. She was treated like a servant in her own home, by the very people she thought were her family. And just when she gets close to the happiness she dreamed of, the man she was engaged to shows up with another wife. She gets mistreated by that wife, by his family, and even (unintentionally) by him, because he was trying to run away from his own feelings, and that only caused her more heartbreak. The whole world was literally against her. She fought through all of that, only to find out in the end that everything she suffered for was based on something that wasn’t even real. Her entire life was built on a lie. That she isn’t even part of that family that she has literally no one in this world. Now on the other side… You have a girl (Melek) who, yes, was taken from her biological mother but she was raised by loving parents. She had everything anyone could wish for: education, freedom, a happy childhood, a healthy environment. She lived her life, fell in love, went out, made choices and no one questioned her, no one controlled her. And then what did she do? She found out that her man was engaged to another woman before marrying her (and even saw him marry her) and instead of holding on to her dignity, she chose to stay, to fight for a man who lied to her, to hold onto a marriage he tried to end multiple times. She used her unborn child to keep him tied to her. She lied constantly, and her excuse was that she was “protecting her marriage” a marriage that was already broken from the moment Serhat removed that ring at the airport in episode one. She tried to hand Yıldız (a woman who had already suffered enough) over to dangerous people. Then she found out the truth about her own birth (that her father ra*ped her mother.)And still no empathy. No moment of humanity toward her own mother. All she cared about was herself. And even though none of this had anything to do with Yıldız, she still found a way to blame it on her. Instead of holding her father accountable, she went and made a deal with him to get rid of Yıldız. She literally made a deal with the devil just to hurt Yıldız one more time. And after all of that… you want me to feel sorry for her? You want me to call her a victim? I honestly cannot believe we are living on the same planet with people who see this and still say, “she’s the victim.” Not morally. Not logically. Not emotionally. There is no world where this makes sense. It’s like watching someone clearly cause harm, and still calling them the victim and actually BELIEVING it. #HalefKöklerinÇağrısı

Every time Whoopi Goldberg opens her mouth about racism, hate, and “division,” I flash right back to that 1993 Friars Club roast. There she was, glowing, laughing, loving every second, while the man she was dating, Ted Danson, strutted on stage in blackface, cracking jokes at her event. She didn’t storm out. She didn’t scream “racism!” She was beaming. Happy as hell. Yet today, we’re supposed to believe she’s outraged by the very things she once laughed through and defended. Because that’s what I can’t reconcile. She’s a paid performer. A Hollywood lifer who has spent decades in the spotlight, and to me, the contrast between then and now raises a lot of questions. She’ll condemn behavior today that she appeared willing to overlook when it involved someone close to her. Hands down. That’s why I have a hard time taking the outrage seriously. The hypocrisy is so thick you could cut it with a knife. Wake up, folks… She’s a Hollywood grifter!

This is Cherry. Cherry is a young 4 year old Doberman with a playful side, a smart mind, and lots of love to give to the people she trusts. She has a medium energy level, making her a great balance of active and relaxed. She enjoys walks, playtime with toys, and settling in for some downtime. Cherry appears to be housetrained and walks nicely on leash, which makes getting out and about together easy. She's also quite the student and already knows several basic commands like sit and down, plus a few fun tricks such as paw and roll over. She enjoys toys and natural chews, which are great outlets for her energy and curiosity. With familiar people, Cherry is affectionate and enjoys being near her humans. She can be a bit wary of strangers at first and may bark if someone approaches too quickly. With slow introductions and a little patience, she warms up nicely, often after the first one or two interactions. Cherry is still figuring out how to socialize with other dogs. While in the shelter, she has met both male and female dogs. She may start off a bit stiff and seems to have limited experience with dog play. As she relaxes, she can become more social, though her play style can be a bit pushy, and she has overcorrected when another dog approached her in a way she didn't like. Becaus of this, a dog-to-dog meet and greet is strongly recommended to ensure the right match. Cherry would do well with someone who appreciates a smart, engaging dog and is willing to give her time to build confidence with new people and experiences. In return, you'll gain a loyal companion who loves to learn, play, and share her affection with her favorite people. Cherry needs our help. She’s a gorgeous dog. ❤️ Do you know anyone in the Palm Springs, California area that would be interested in Cherry? Looking for a Doberman Pinscher maybe?

my grandma is 85. she is a pillar of her community in Lujan de Cuyo, a small town in Argentina where I was born. today, she got diagnosed with dementia. up until 4 months ago, she would cook fresh meals every single day, walk at least 10,000 steps at 6AM, and do pilates 3x a week. she took care of herself at the highest standard and took care of others just as intentionally. she is the wise matron of the family that has held us all together. she is the living definition of discipline and strength and warmth which is what I admired the most in her. my grandma would knit and bake and sell what she made to make ends meet when my grandpa abandoned her with 2 kids. when I came along she used to take me on long walks and share songs with me. she taught me her empanadas de carne recipe when I started living alone and cooking for myself. through her lifestyle and her choices she taught me that there is no excuse, and there are no shortcuts. you can be 85 and take care of yourself like you’re 25. and you can do all of that on top of raising children, being a sounding board for others, and holding the entire family together. i can’t believe how fast her dementia has progressed. i am genuinely stunned. having my grandma change so suddenly from the superwoman that she’s been my entire life is a new type of pain that i did not emotionally prepare for. life is precious, our mind is precious. i’m lucky to have had 27 years with the most wonderful present version of my grandma.

Her latest arrest on June 10, 2026, stems from probation violations after she failed to stay confined to an approved residence and maintain her required daily activities. Velez has a long history of theft-related arrests, including multiple incidents at Target where she used fake barcodes to steal hundreds of dollars in merchandise. She also has prior arrests for grand theft of a motor vehicle and fleeing from police. Despite multiple chances through the system, Velez continues to violate her probation.

Why has Maria quietly removed her NOT AIRBORNE tweet? Is she trying to remove evidence of her NOT AIRBORNE disinformation campaign to help lessen the likelihood that the history books will document this aspect of her role at WHO and the likelihood she will go down in history as having contributed to untold numbers of preventable deaths and avoidable human suffering? It seems she would like to portray herself in a more positive light, ironically more as a heroic fighter of disinformation, saving lives through accurate science based information and guidance. In the clips below, Maria describes below her role at WHO is to “turn science, to turn data, to turn knowledge into evidence based guidance, into strategies….” and to provide “facts” and “information” “to prevent infections, to save lives” 🤡🤡🤡 Now she quietly and with no explanation or apology, removes traces of the “COVID is NOT AIRBORNE” disinformation campaign from Twitter, and unilaterally decides to remove the word AIRBORNE from the vocabulary at WHO. She can never be remembered as an articulate and knowledgeable WHO leader who helped protect the public with “facts” and “saved lives”….. ….but more as a flawed individual with narcissistic traits that could not acknowledge her failings, who had no empathy for the millions that died and suffered unnecessarily, and who had no insight into the magnitude of the significance of her disinformation in misleading people and governments about was needed to prevent transmission and stay safe.

Oh, with what face is Meghan Markle going to show up in the UK? 😭 After all the shit she and Harry have said about that country, the family and everything they were so desperate to escape, she’s now crawling back like a kicked dog that finally realised the streets don’t pay. The great “freedom” and “independent life” they sold everyone has brought her right back to the same place she spent years shitting on. No more Netflix fairy tale. No more victim cosplay. No more pretending she’s some global humanitarian while desperately trying to stay relevant. She threw up all over the UK, walked away, told everyone how awful it was and now she’s coming back to EAT HER OWN PUKE.🤮 The humiliation is actually unbelievable. 😭🫣

Angie….Wow. This has taken me a couple of days to digest. I had the pleasure of knowing this queen since the very beginning of my true musical journey. I was looking for a background singer and sax player for my first club tour and she walked into my life at an audition. I instantly knew that I was in the presence of greatness. We did a tour together and became family. Being from down south (as we called it) she reminded me of my grandmother and her people who were from a small town in Georgia. We bonded over music, humour, and southern cuisine which she cooked with great joy. She knew her food tasted better than everyone else’s and it did. She had a phrase that I loved, "Lenny, I am overly confident". She believed it and so did I. She went on to become Angie Stone and changed the face of music as a solo artist, becoming known as the queen of neo soul. She already had an illustrious past but this was now HER time. As a black woman who was told she was not the right age, not the right look, etc she busted through and never looked back. The rest is history. Writer, producer, arranger, musician and master vocalist. The best of the best. I got to play on some of those great recordings and they are treasures in my mind and spirit. My deepest condolences to Diamond, Michael Jr and the entire family. LK

Orm actually reposted these two videos before 😁 What makes them even more special is how much they remind me of LingOrm's story from the very beginning... It feels like the dream of a girl who had quietly admired someone for years, then when they finally met again Orm slowly won Ling over with nothing but her sincerity and genuine heart ( they were each other's first love - the difference is that one person fell first and patiently waited to be noticed, their relationship didn't grow overnight but it grew steadily and built something strong 🩶) when Ling finally fell for Orm the change was hard to miss, people started seeing sides of Ling they had never seen before, she once said that when she's in love no one can compete with her; Lingling has also said she's grateful to be part of LingOrm and grateful to have Orm by her side through everything they've been through together ( along the way they built a bond that runs incredibly deep)😌 Orm came into Ling's life and helped her understand what she truly needed, once Ling found her answer she made her choice, " and even if she had the chance to choose again i believe her answer would still be the same, she would still choose Orm as the person she wants by her side. that has never changed and Ling has always been certain of that choice " 😭 #LingOrm #หลิงออม

How Sridevi’s Entry Changed Mona Kapoor’s World Forever Mona Kapoor and Boney Kapoor married in 1983 when she was just 19. Their marriage lasted 13 years before Boney fell in love with Sridevi. According to reports, Sridevi was a close friend of Mona and had even stayed at their home for a period. Boney Kapoor was reportedly so impressed by Sridevi that he was determined to cast her in his film and even offered more than the amount initially demanded by her mother, who managed her career at the time. In a 2007 interview, Mona recalled the shock of learning that her husband was in love with someone else. She said there was no point in giving the relationship a second chance because Sridevi was pregnant, and she felt it was better to move on. Mona also spoke about how the divorce affected her children, Arjun and Anshula, who reportedly faced taunts in school and struggled through the difficult phase. Mona Kapoor once said: “Don’t let the enemy do what a friend can do.”

"My dad passed away two summers ago, and his old Irish setter, Ruby, still swims out from his dock every evening. Dad had a little place on the lake, and every night after dinner, he would walk down to the end of the dock with a cup of coffee and Ruby right behind him. They would sit there together and watch the sun disappear over the water. She was his shadow for 11 years, and wherever he went, she followed. After the funeral, we brought Ruby back to my house in town because we thought keeping her close to the family was the kindest thing to do. But she never settled in. She stopped eating properly, paced through the halls at night, and spent hours standing at the back door as though she were waiting for someone. After a couple of weeks, my mom finally said what the rest of us had been avoiding. “That dog needs to go back to the lake.” Ruby lives at the lake house now, and my mom stays out there with her. Almost every evening, around the same time Dad used to take his coffee down to the water, Ruby walks slowly to the end of the dock. She stands there for a moment, looking across the lake, before carefully stepping into the water. Then she swims one slow loop beyond the end of the dock, passing the same stretch where Dad used to cast his fishing line. When she comes back, Ruby climbs onto the boards, shakes the water from her coat, and walks over to the place where Dad always sat. She lowers herself down in that exact spot and faces the sunset until the last light disappears. The vet says there is nothing physically wrong with her. She is simply an old dog keeping an appointment she has kept for most of her life. We still drive out there most weekends. Sitting on that dock at sunset with Ruby’s gray head resting in my lap is the closest I ever feel to my dad now. Do you think dogs understand that someone is never coming back, or do they keep waiting because love has become part of their routine?

Records show that Olivia Julianna works as a Political Director at Gen-Z for Change. Many already know this. However, she has not disclosed that Colin Allred has PAID her multiple times. She has received several thousand dollars to support/post about him. This wouldn't be such a large issue, except she has blatantly lied multiple times. Olivia is 21 years old and has a large following. Over 380k on X and over 700k on TikTok. With such a following, you would hope that one would use such power by spreading the truth. But she does the exact opposite. She has lied about herself and she has lied about her parents. Even more concerning is that her father KNOWS she is lying, but is going along with this anyways and has made appearances in her cringy short films about "door knocking" and he has made several media appearances. So now we know who she learned to lie from. Olivia does not share her last name. So it took a little longer to find much of this information. We know why she doesn't share it. She has gotten away with lying to her audience for far too long. On June 17th, 2023, she claimed she was "unpaid in a political capacity". But on May 31st, 2024, and June 7th, 2024, Olivia received disbursements from the Allred campaign. What changed, sister? Olivia recently claimed that her dad "voted Republican all his life". And "In 2018 he voted for Ted Cruz". This is false. I found his voting records using two separate systems. And the answer was the same. Records show that her father did not vote until 2020. He did NOT vote for Ted Cruz in 2018. In a TikTok video just a few days ago, Olivia brought up "being 14" and "rooting for Trump". Interesting that she brought up this exact age! Because photo evidence shows that in 2016, when Olivia was 14, her dad posted a "proud moment" to his daughter on his social media, with 14-year-old Olivia showing her "project" that showed she was not for Trump. In both English and Spanish, her project stated "Cuz I'm not Trump. Vote Olivia ****** for president of student council". From a spiritual perspective, Olivia is depraved and demented. At one point, her family claimed to be Christians, posted scriptures, and Olivia was involved with youth ministry. It is very sad to see where she has ended up. Used by Dems to reach the youth. Convincing the youth to tear their unborn babies apart. Lying about her own parents to climb to the top, and taking a false self-righteous stance of "not being paid" in order to keep up political appearances. She worked at Boys and Girls Country of Hockley (N of Houston)- She had 8 foster siblings.. It’s sad that she’s so pro-abortion. She would rather see them all dead.

I don’t understand why many people are saying Ronova drops the Nail on Snezhnaya. To me, it clearly looks like she’s destroying it, and she looks almost sad while doing so. That’d mean she’s helping Snezhnaya if this Nail has been a threat all along… Perhaps Ronova is choosing to free herself from the shackles, give up her authority (fading feathers), and abandon her duty. We know she has a history of subtle compassion and was punished for it in the past (also her lunar arcanum card - maybe she’s finally choosing to embrace the human world and become mortal?) Now she herself could disappear and be fading, with the transgression triggering self-destruction (This whole thing lowk reminds me of Melanta & Nihilita), but I’m not sure Hoyo would off her permanently. I’m almost certain that line “Now… I can kill without further consequence” is misleading. Maybe she says that during the fight to the Traveler specifically, during the episode of Curse of Death, because rules don’t apply to them? In CN, she actually sounds less weary and more villainous, almost sinister, and says something along the lines of “Now, I can finally indulge in bringing death/bring death as I please,” all of which, to me, doesn’t really match her overall mood in that Nail scene.

She Lived to 117. Scientists Studied Her for Months. Her Secret Cost $2. Maria Branyas Morera ate three yogurts a day. Every single day, for as long as anyone could remember. She mentioned this to anyone who asked about her longevity, which was often, and it was the kind of advice people receive with a warm smile and then immediately discard, because we prefer our longevity secrets to involve something more exotic than a supermarket dairy aisle. Maria died in Barcelona in 2024. She was 117. Then scientists actually looked inside her, and the smiling stopped. Her gut was packed with Bifidobacterium, a bacterium almost never found in people past 110, and far more commonly associated with infants. Her body had, in the most literal biological sense, not been informed of her actual age. It was operating on entirely different assumptions. Her DNA suggested she was somewhere between 100 and 110. She was 117. Seven years younger on the inside than the calendar insisted, which at 117 is not a rounding error. That is a extraordinary number. But to appreciate why any of this matters, you need to understand what kind of person we are talking about. Maria was born in San Francisco in 1907, the year before the Model T Ford, when Theodore Roosevelt was still in the White House and most of humanity died of things we now treat with a Tuesday afternoon at the pharmacy. Her Catalan father had come to America to make something of himself, and for a while it worked beautifully. He founded a Spanish-language magazine in New Orleans, one of the most chaotic, beautiful, swampy, and gastronomically unhinged cities on the continent, a place that has always operated on the reasonable philosophy that life is uncertain and the gumbo is excellent. Then the family got on a boat back to Spain. Maria fell on deck and permanently lost the hearing in one ear. Her father died of tuberculosis before the coast of Catalonia came into view. He was 37. She was eight. Her mother arrived in Europe with five children, no husband, and presumably very little appetite for what came next. Maria managed. She nursed soldiers in the Spanish Civil War. She outlived Franco, which required considerable patience. She raised three children. She played piano until she was 108. At 113 she caught COVID-19 and dispatched it, which at that point resembles less a medical event than a statement of intent. Then she joined Twitter. Her bio read: “I am old, very old, but not an idiot.” Her last request, before she died peacefully in her sleep, was three words: “Please study me.” The geneticists obliged with considerable enthusiasm, and their subsequent paper in Cell Reports Medicine runs to forty pages of scientists explaining, in the careful and hedged language that science requires, that this woman was remarkable in ways they had not previously encountered and were not entirely sure how to explain. The yogurt, it turns out, had been doing quiet and serious work for over a century. Nomadic peoples of Central Asia were fermenting milk 8,000 years ago, long before germ theory, before microscopes, before anyone had the faintest idea what a bacterium was. They didn’t need to understand it. Their guts understood it. The knowledge was older than writing. Maria understood it too. She didn’t publish a paper. She didn’t launch a wellness brand. She just ate her yogurt every morning and got on with the extraordinary business of being alive. Gandalv / Gandalv ✦ AI-generated image. Not the actual person. Full story:
