The fact that he thinks it’s absolutely hilarious says it all. Knowing that Peter Jackson shot this himself makes it even funnier. The Hobbit is a fantasy adventure set in Middle-earth, following Bilbo Baggins, a quiet hobbit unexpectedly swept into a daring quest. Guided by the wizard Gandalf, Bilbo...

Willie Nelson was such a big fan of THE LORD OF THE RINGS movies, he actually sent in an audition tape to Peter Jackson to be considered for Gandalf when he found out Jackson was making THE HOBBIT - and it's hilarious

Notice how the Alhambra's external facades are plain and simple, while the inside is most dazzling in splendour and beauty. This is a feature of the Islamic ethos. It draws from the same notions of modesty that emphasize beauty of character and public humility. The ethos that would translates into the veil, or the Sufi's simple external appearance - while he carries a glimmering ocean within. An ethos also conveyed by St Peter when he wrote: "When adorning yourselves, let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing gold, or of putting on apparel; but let it be the hidden man of the heart which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God is of great price."

⚔️ Kingdom Come Deliverance first impressions ⚔️ Loving it so far, basically a medieval detective simulator that really doesn't care that you are the main character. And I'm all here for it. ▪️The WORLD is the real star of the show here and even though it's got plenty of jank and lots of copy and paste NPC faces, it just feels so IMMERSIVE. Even the UI just transports me to the times with a bright colourful medieval art style. ▪️The MUSIC I love, absolutely sells the world and basically ASMR as you trot around on your horse through the world. ▪️THE Combat is a real interesting one, it's got quite the learning curve which I actually LIKE, it definitely has some jank to it as well but I really appreciate the attempt at an original and nuanced combat system. (Having to stop your bleeding with bandages is really cool) ▪️The Story has gripped me (19 hours in so far) And while it seems a simple revenge story on the face of it, I think the story is more about Henry making his way through the world after the horrors of Skallitz. The writing quality is top notch as well as the quest design also. ▪️The CHARACTERS are amazing and the humour is top notch. I'm not sure the last time I laughed so much at a game. Henry is great and so well voiced by Tom McKay This really feels like Warhorse Studios have put a lot of love and work into making an authentic medieval world and as a bit of a medieval nerd I can't get enough of this game. A True RPG as well by all accounts, the game really makes me think hard about how to approach situations. Also I can't wait to get to KCD2.

Imran Khan Pushed into Military Vehicle in Viral Video Pak Public Silence Draws Criticism In the video former Prime Minister of Pakistan and one of the most popular figures in the country Imran Khan can be seen being pushed with great disrespect and humiliation by soldiers of Pakistan’s military regime into a military vehicle. Imran Khan rendered tireless services for Pakistan and its people striving to elevate the country’s name on the global stage. He made every effort to free the people of Pakistan from the influence of the U.S. and what he described as an oppressive military establishment. Imran Khan sacrificed a life of comfort and privilege something only a few people in the world ever attain for the sake of the people of Pakistan. But now it appears that the people of Pakistan have betrayed him and they are not even able to come out raise their voices or ensure that he is taken to a hospital for treatment. It is a matter of great shame that when you needed him he sacrificed everything for you, but when he needs you, you only look for 100 excuses even to take him to a hospital. Shame.

It is truly remarkable how today’s media operates, and how the so-called “virality” can so easily distort reality. A sentence spoken in good humor, in the spirit of friendship, suddenly turns into a worldwide headline of an entire summit among dozens of nations, while all the rest, the real substance, becomes irrelevant. But yes, it was good fun today to be with my old friend Ilham Aliyev and, in the presence of our dear common friend Emmanuel Macron, to refer to a slip of President Trump that even Albania managed to make peace with Azerbaijan, while Emmanuel himself worked tirelessly, for a long time, to bring peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia. A lighthearted remark, a friendly moment. Of course, no issue if it spreads, but to twist it into political venom is simply unfair. So let us set the record straight: The truth is that President Trump has shown himself to be a leader who restored the word ‘peace’ to the vocabulary of the West after many years. And yes, in a remarkably short time, he has achieved peace where others tried but failed and he continues to pursue it tirelessly. That exchange was nothing more than a moment of good humor among people who are, in fact, among President Trump’s greatest admirers.

what im about to say is just MY vision! this is how i see it i feel like the car in the mv represents heeseung himself and everything he has gone through over the years. in the mv, when he first got the car, it’s bright red. red symbolizes his passion, excitement, and happiness as he finally achieves the dream he had worked toward for so long. he has debuted, he is standing on stage and he is doing what he always wanted to do as the story progresses, the car becomes almost completely gray. i see this as a reflection of heeseung’s burnout and emotional exhaustion. the feeling of becoming drained after constantly giving so much of yourself without having enough time to recover. heeseung had dreams and desire to release his own solo music and show a different side of himself as an artist, but he wasn’t able to do it, he pushed it aside for a long time so he started losing hope. the fading color of the car mirrors how his passion and motivation were slowly being overshadowed by frustration and disappointment yet the car never becomes entirely gray. the driver’s door is still red. that remaining red represents the part of heeseung that refused to let go of his dreams and passion. no matter how exhausted he became, no matter how much disappointment he faced, there was still a small part of him that continued to believe that things could get better. the car is literally following heeseung and refusing to let go. i feel like it symbolizes the passion that survived even when everything else seemed to be fading away – the fully red car shows the joy of a dream coming true – the gray car shows the emotional cost of everything that came afterward – and the driver’s red door shows that no matter how difficult the journey became, he never completely lost himself that’s why i believe the car represents heeseung/his dreams

Did you know that the words spoken by Jaafar Jackson at the beginning of the #MichaelMovie trailer are inspired by a real letter written by Michael Jackson himself? Around 1979, Michael wrote a letter to himself, making it clear that he wanted to be the greatest at everything he did. Those words served as a true mantra, repeated as a way to maintain focus, motivation, and inner strength something he told himself long before the world recognized who he would become. Over time, that mantra became reality, and Michael Jackson established himself as the greatest artist of all time. During that same period, he also wrote a poem to himself as a way to confront and protect himself from the criticism he faced. In response to those who once called him ugly, Michael would repeat the phrase over and over: “I am beautiful.” 🥺❤️‍🩹

If you ever get the chance to go to Normandy, take it. Don't just visit it-take your time and let it sink in, because it is one of the most humbling experiences I've ever had. Standing there, looking out across those beaches, you can almost feel the weight of what happened there. It's hard to fully understand what those soldiers went through until you're standing in that place, realizing the courage it took just to run toward that shore. The beauty of Normandy is quiet and powerful, but so is the sacrifice it represents. The rows of white crosses, the history in the ground, the silence in the air-it all reminds you that freedom came at a tremendous cost. It's the kind of place that stays with you long after you leave. It makes you grateful, reflective, and a little more aware of how much was given for the life we live today. Normandy is more than a battlefield. It is a lesson in sacrifice, bravery, and remembrance. 🙏🇺🇸🙏

This is undoubtedly one of the most famous statues from antiquity, and most of you have seen it. But there are so many interesting things about it that I wanted to put together for those who don’t know much beyond the fact that it’s famous. The Belvedere Torso is one of those sculptures that literally changed the entire history of art, even though it’s just a fragment. The Torso is a 1.59‑meter marble fragment of a seated male figure, signed by Apollonios, son of Nestor, Athenian... yet another proof that the Greeks shaped stone with an understanding of the body that feels almost impossible for its time. It’s been known in Rome since the 1430s and today is in the Vatican Museums. Headless, limbless, yet one of the most admired sculptures in the world. Renaissance artists treated it almost like scripture. Michelangelo studied it obsessively. The twist of the body, the tension of the muscles, you can see them echoed all over the Sistine Chapel. It was so influential that people called it The School of Michelangelo. There’s even a story that Pope Julius II asked him to finish the statue by adding limbs and a head and Michelangelo refused, saying it was already perfect. In 1798, Napoleon seized the Torso and took it to Paris, placing it in a place of honor in the Louvre. It became a major spark for French neoclassicism. After the Restoration, Antonio Canova personally brought it back to the Vatican in 1815. Who is this figure though? Heracles, Prometheus, Ajax… and even more unusual proposals like Theseus, Philoctetes, a satyr companion of Dionysus, a river god, or even a fallen giant. The uncertainty is part of its power. The Ajax theory is especially compelling. The pose matches the moment he contemplates suicide after losing Achilles’ armor to Odysseus. Even the skin he sits on is debated. For centuries, people thought it was the Nemean lion, supporting the Heracles theory. Recent studies suggest it might be a panther, which opens the door to other mythological identities entirely. Whoever he is, a part of me hopes we never fully discover it. The mystery is part of the allure… the way a fragment can hold more imagination than a finished story, a bit like Nike.

Faith in humanity is a rational hope that, by choosing the path of reason and compassion, it can overcome its own limits and rise to the level of a mature civilization. : The author defines faith in humanity as a rational hope grounded in reality rather than wishful thinking. It is the conviction that by consciously choosing the path of reason and compassion, humanity can overcome its own limitations and rise to the level of a mature civilization. This faith acknowledges our flaws selfishness, short-sightedness, tribalism but refuses to accept them as permanent. It trusts in our demonstrated capacity for growth, learning, and moral progress. Reason gives us the tools to understand and solve problems; compassion gives us the motivation to use those tools for the benefit of all. When these two forces work together, they become a powerful transformative current capable of reshaping societies, institutions, and human relations. Faith in humanity is therefore not passive belief but an active orientation a commitment to build, to improve, and to aspire higher, even when the path is difficult. It is the quiet but firm assertion that we are not doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past. We can do better, and we should.

Claude Monet painted the same stretch of cliff more than ninety times. The place is Étretat, a small fishing village on the coast of Normandy, where the chalk cliffs fall into the sea in great arches and a single spire of rock, the Aiguille, stands alone in the water. Monet had known the place since childhood. He grew up in Normandy, and these cliffs were among the first landscapes he ever saw... He returned to paint them again and again. He worked through the 1880s in front of the same rock formations, and across that time he produced more than ninety canvases of them: the cliffs at dawn, at sunset, under storm, under calm, in winter light and in the gold of a clear evening. In his letters to Alice, the woman he would later marry, he described the agony of it: the weather turning, the tide rising, the sun moving, the colour he had begun to capture vanishing before he could finish. He often worked on several canvases at once, switching between them as the conditions changed, racing each one against the hour. In a letter to his friend Frédéric Bazille he wrote: "It is beautiful here in Etretat. Every day I discover even more beautiful things. It is intoxicating me, and I want to paint it all, my head is bursting. I want to fight, scratch it off, start again, because I start to see and understand. It seems to me as if I can see nature and I can catch it all." The cliffs of Étretat had stood for millions of years and would look, to most people, the same on any given day. Monet saw that they were never the same even for two minutes. He stood on that shore and tried to hold, on canvas, something that exists only for an instant and then is gone forever. And that's exactly what those paintings really are: 90 attempts to keep a single, vanishing moment of light from disappearing. As Dylan Thomas once wrote: "Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light." -- -- -- If you want a deeper dive into the craft of painting, I recently wrote a piece exploring it in detail.

The thing I love most after enlistment is how Jimin’s light isn’t just bright. It’s the brightest it has ever been. There’s a glow to him, a quiet radiance with that warm aura you can feel in his smile and those soft giggles. Like I said in my post, he looks freer. I’ve been a Jimin bias for a long time, from the very beginning, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen him shine quite like this. I keep going through old memories because this version of him carries pieces of every era I fell in love with. Maybe it’s simply been too long since we’ve seen him like this. Maybe I’m overwhelmed and grateful that he’s truly back. Maybe. Maybe not. But something about him now tells me he’s okay. He feels more grounded, more secure in himself, standing in a place that feels steady under him. His confidence is quiet but unmistakably real. And just to be clear, it’s not that he lacked confidence at any point in the last ten years. He always had it. What I mean is that this Jimin… it’s a different kind. It's a“He doesn’t give a fuck” kind of confidence, the type that comes from knowing himself completely and choosing to live in that freedom. Every single thing about him right now is just beautiful. The way he moves, the way he laughs, the way he carries this calm, freeing aura. It makes me happy… genuinely and deeply happy to witness this version of him.

Can I get an Amen? A graduating student walks across the field/stage holding (and then wearing like a cape) a large white banner with a red cross that reads: “JESUS THE WAY - THE TRUTH - THE LIFE”. She lifts it high, waves to the crowd, and continues celebrating with the banner as she joins her classmates. The moment captured cheers and attention from the audience. This unapologetic display of Christian faith at graduation is inspiring courage in a world that often pushes it aside. Jesus is the way! ✝️

JUST IN: The View's Ana Navarro is on the verge of tears as she says the big takeaway from the Hunter Biden laptop is the story of a 'father's love.' This is how the propaganda state media covers for their dear leader. "The Hunter Biden story, the scandal, the this the that. It's also the story of a father's love and Joe Biden has never and will never give up on his son Hunter and will never treat him lesser than. He is a father first. Take it or leave it." The laptop story is not about a 'father's love.' It’s a story about the most corrupt family in modern US history.

JUST IN: The View's Ana Navarro is on the verge of tears as she says the big takeaway from the Hunter Biden laptop is the story of a 'father's love.' This is how the propaganda state media covers for their dear leader. "The Hunter Biden story, the scandal, the this the that. It's also the story of a father's love and Joe Biden has never and will never give up on his son Hunter and will never treat him lesser than. He is a father first. Take it or leave it." The laptop story is not about a 'father's love.' It’s a story about the most corrupt family in modern US history.

🇵🇸🇮🇱A scene from Jerusalem today that needs no explanation—only honesty: A Palestinian bus driver beaten and cursed by a group of settler kids, standing there unable to defend himself… not out of fear—out of certainty. He knows that if he lifts a finger to protect himself, within two seconds he becomes: “a terrorist”… “an attacker”… “attempted stabbing”… “attempted ramming”… and the bullet is ready long before any “investigation.” In Jerusalem, the attacker is a protected settler child… and the victim is a Palestinian who must prove his innocence even when he is the one being beaten. This isn’t an incident. It’s a system: the aggressor is shielded, the assaulted is punished. This is how the city is run— and this is how the “law” looks when the law belongs to an occupier. Oppression doesn’t hide anymore… it hits in broad daylight, and everyone sees it.

A very good morning. Welcome to The Council Benji This marks the third Skull in a little run. The first went to a fund I've never met. The second: through Eli Scheinman to a new collector/foundation who has been quietly entering the space in a very significant way across a number of collections whom I’ve never spoken to. Their new entrance enabled a wedding and start of a new married life for Conviction. In my very first conversation with him, we spoke about curses and commitments to the people we love. Since meeting got to talk through each step on that path, from letting go, what is imbued in the ring and ceremony of it all, a proposal, and on the way to the most important of the steps in pursuit of a blessed life. It is easy to get a little cynical on the over-leveraged exit stories that spring up from time to time, so it is a treat to watch one go towards a celebration that’s been building up in his life since the Skull was first acquired. And now: this. The third Skull and the first I can really write about as a shared story across both source and destination. An exit and an entrance. The exit: The Skulls of Luci were awarded as gifts 4 years ago. But before I'd minted Birth of Luci or painted the other 49, the first person in this space I showed the sketch of The Blueprint Skull to was actually Casey💎, when he was working at SuperRare . Casey was the very first person who onboarded me to NFTs, helping me navigate the early days of whatever it meant to even mint something. I explained the idea of gifting one to each person who bid in my first auctions. Though most of the Skulls went to the bidders, Casey's didn't. He didn't ask for one. I didn't tell him I'd give him one. But he helped me take my first steps here, and it's hard to imagine any of this making sense, or unfolding the way it has, without him. Since then, we've broken bread across continents, seen quite a lot of chortling margarita consumption, watched the rise and fall of a lot around us, weathered inter-Council dramas. He brought Laura El into The Monument Game, played as a Player, wore a Mask. Most of the vibe that started all of this, the wild west of it, feels faded in the broader space at times. But every Skull has a story and a person who helped us get here. Casey will always be the one who was there before any metric muddled the reason to care. The entrance: Last fall, Benji came over for a studio visit. We walked through Luci, the works, structure, and dream, as anyone who visits does. But we mostly talked about being a father and having a father. We discussed the very idea of "collection" stripped of accumulation, value, or signal, located more in the act or ceremony of it. What it was to grow up with a curious father who studied the edges of each thing he saw to know the next layer beneath why anyone might look or ignore it. That to pass this on is to pass on questioning, more than it is to pass on any kind of answer. The process of collecting can be perceived as an individual act of hoarding. For some it is maybe. But at its best, it's a way to bind through shared questioning, to bond in cooperation and competition with friends and family, it is the swapped story and meme of it all, and each object gathered along the way carries some shared memory that can, often does, and with intent: should; drift out of the object entirely. All in the psalm, always has been. The studio visit came and went. Soon after, a package arrived in the mail with two of the softest stuffed animals added to my daughter's own collection, now among her favorites. The Skull is a bonus to that, in the scheme of shared memory. For Rachel and I, while we are heads down making a body of work that unsettles us and excites us but demands unknown time to accomplish, it means a great deal to have this kind of support from long term people in the quiet process of making work we want to leave behind ourselves. Enormously grateful to Casey for the many years of support and friendship, to Benny for being a true patron, and to Benji for entering the arena for what I'm working on next. Welcome.

What is an individual? Can we accept the idea that an individual is not an isolated being, but a totality of traits, ideas, and deeds that arise within humanity, are shaped by it, and return to it? Every human being is a temporary form through which humanity expresses a part of itself. : The author redefines the individual not as an isolated entity but as a transient expression of humanity itself: a unique constellation of traits, ideas, and deeds that emerge from the collective, are molded by it, and ultimately return to enrich it. Each person serves as a temporary vessel through which humanity manifests and explores its own nature. This dissolves the illusion of absolute separateness, revealing every life as an integral thread in the living fabric of humankind. It portrays individuality as both gift and responsibility: a fleeting opportunity to contribute distinct value to the whole. The concept elevates personal existence to a sacred role in humanity’s continuous self-creation. It leads to recognition that our thoughts, actions, and choices ripple beyond the self, shaping the shared human story. Ultimately, framing every individual as both creation and co-creator of humanity’s evolving essence, bound in profound interdependence.

[Throwback] Kobayashi Arata,a professional dancer, give detailed abt taehyung’s dance abilities on Fire and Dynamite 👤Whenever I see Taetae dance, I got the impression that he is a groove-type dancer. He has good detail and dances like he is riding the music. I like dances that convey the dancer's own vibe that only they have, and Taetae's dance is like that. His neck's trajectory is continuously moving back and forth. It's a professional's technique. His dance is very professional. It's very difficult to grab the rhythm in a simple way, but Taetae has a very good sense for that. Even when he isn't moving, the texture of his dance movements are very exquisite.The way he dances to his heart's content is wonderfully cool. The way he feels the sound (music) is expressed through the movement of his neck. The way he burns his feelings into the music is at a very professional level. One more thing to mention, the way he approaches a certain melody is always very outstanding and beautiful. You can see his great sense for dancing in his ad-libs, besides the set choreography. The neck is the part of the body that can express rhythm, so it especially requires skill. Taetae uses his neck extremely well. People at a high level of dancing can draw a hot response from just moving their neck a little. A great dancer knows that just a simple neck movement can look really cool. 1 speculate that Taetae is a dancer who knows this. The way he paces himself is no joke. The reason he can comfortably maintain the rhythm with his whole body is because he properly feels the music inside his body His dance has a mature charm. It's something different than the brilliance and dynamism that can be seen from the outside. From an angle that surpasses all that, he expresses how he perceives the beauty of the dance. He is the type that enthralls others by actually enjoying the music himself. He is like a miso soup made by a first-class chef. It doesn't make sense how smooth he is. (All of his movements are very smooth.) People, who enjoy music itself in the first place, look cool with the way they ride the rhythm. He dances as if he has surrendered himself to the sound (music), and as if he is submerged in the music. He is able to feel the rhythm with his whole body. Taetae's hidden details, in which he accomplishes things like they're nothing, make my heart beat. It's a difficult thing to do. You can't do this just by learning it. He has a good sense for dancing. The way he dances is very smart. In conclusion, Taetae is at an extremely high level of dance. From the little details that are hard to catch at first glance, to his dance skills that read the music, making it feel like a "professional dance" style and feel, can all be seen in the ad-libs as well. These parts all depend on the individual's sense for dance. What can be seen from here is that Taetae has a good sense of understanding and feeling sound(music), and i really want to become someone like that too. 28min video: trans cr: KTHbase/KTH_FanBase

On January 14, 2005, the Huygens probe descending through Titan’s atmosphere revealed one of the rarest views in space exploration. From Saturn’s moon Titan, Earth and the Moon crossed in front of the Sun as tiny shadows nearly a billion miles away. What makes it even more incredible is how rare the alignment was. A perfectly central Earth and Moon transit from Saturn’s system happens only about twice every 1,000 years. From that distance, our entire planet looked small enough to disappear into the sunlight.
