Wild Game Kitchen is back, and we brought the whole pig. Season 6 premieres tonight for Grill Week on Tastemade, and we’re kicking it off with suckling pig two ways. First, a three-cup-style braise served over plancha fried rice. Then, a whole pig roasted over open fire, pulled apart, and piled into Philly-style pork sandwiches with broccoli rabe and sharp provolone. This is exactly what I love about cooking over fire: big technique, big flavor, a bit of patience, and huge payoff. Watch the Season 6 premiere tonight on Tastemade. Huge gratitutde to Intuitive Content for another fantastic season. Recipes are on my website and the Tastemade cooking app.

a story about taesan’s new fish, yongyongie 🐠 🐈‍⬛ so, you know that recent video that came out (whatdoor tarot episode) the one that was about my slumps? that was, like… maybe about 3 months ago. around 3 months ago, leehan asked me, “what do you think about picking up a new hobby?” he said that seriously starting a new hobby could be a good way to get out of a slump. so i thought, “hmm… can i even add another hobby right now? i already have quite a lot.” then he suggested raising fish 🤓☝️ and i said no, i said i didn’t want to raise one at first. but then he said he’d set everything up for me, teach me how to feed them, how to change the water, basically everything. he said it would be like giving me an early birthday present, he’d set up the whole fish tank for me. and he really did! he ordered everything himself, and now i’m raising fish in my room guys! 🐈‍⬛ but it is not corydoras, it is a type of fish called Betta. Betta fish are really beautiful. so it’s been three months since i started raising it. but i didn’t say anything about it because i thought, “since it’s a birthday gift i’ll talk about it on my birthday.” so i was supposed to say it today, and donghyunie (leehan) just reminded me about it just now. 🐈‍⬛ i have three-coloured betta fish, and it even has my favorite colors, blue and red, together on it (just like korean flag 🇰🇷) i’ll post a picture on weverse after this. it is really flashy fish, and i gave it a name. when i first saw it i thought, “wow, they kinda look like dragons” so i named the fish yongyongi (yong in korean means dragon). it is about this small, but they look so much like dragons that i named it yongyongi, and i’m taking good care of it. i feed it well, if i drop in just two tiny pellets a day, it comes up and eat them. i give it food, and i’ve also learned how to change the water. so the fish living in this small fish tank. i’ll take a picture of it later and post it too.

🚨 TOOTH DOWN! ROTTWEILER SISTER ON HIGH ALERT! 🚨🦷😤 Chesnyy™ reporting: my baby moose Kenji just lost his FIRST TOOTH. Tiny perfect fang — Human grabbed it with the same speed and enthusiasm as when she drops chocolate and worries the puppy might get to it. Kenji looked shocked, then wagged like it was a win. Tonight we slide it under his puppy pillow for the Puppy Tooth Fairy. But I’m not buying the “sweet fairy” act. What if she’s a sneaky gremlin coming for baby teeth AND baby zoomies? What if she wants the whole baby rottie? Or worse, what if she wants the whole puppy and everything in the snack cupboard???Nope. Chesnyy Stakeout starts tonight — parked by the pillow, ears up, full Rottie glare ready. Protecting the baby (and snacks) at all costs. First lost tooth stories? Spill below — I need to know if the tooth fairy is trustworthy. 🖤🤍 #KenjiLostATooth #PuppyToothFairyWatch #BigSisterChesnyy #BabyMooseProtection 🎥 Rare rottie tooth footage

OFFICIAL: EASTER EGG GUIDE FOR TOTENREICH: Wonder Weapon: 1. Head to The Drydocks and lower The Crane, this will allow you to wall jump and interact with the tip of the ship to pick up the Chain Link 2. Next, Head to Storm Bridge and pick up Chili Chunks behind the truck next to Deadshot 3. Place Chili Chunks on the table in the middle of the Skalen Market 4. Next, Head to Burial Grounds left-side door and interact with the keyhole. 5. Interact with the door again and hold it to open the door and to unlock the underground area. 6. This will spawn a Zursa Bear during a special round (starting the second special round) you need to kill him and he will drop The Lantern 7. Place The Lantern in the center of the Underground Room in Burial Grounds. 8. Constellations will appear around the wall. Interact with them as they’re shown on the table in this order: left, right, back, front. 9. Once completed, Astrid will appear and talk, she will then travel to different areas of the map. She will occasionally stop and you will need to kill frost zombies next to her. 10. Once all the Soulboxes are completed an Obstacle Course will form on the outside of The Lighthouse, climb to the top by Jumping / Wall Jumping up 11. Once you reach the top, Listen to the Astrid talk and pick up The Jotunn Star Wundersignal: 1. After completing Jotun Star Quest Head to The Lighthouse and inside on a shelf there will be a Crowbar 2. There are Multiple Wooden Boxes around the map with red IDs on the bottom right corner of the front of the box in red (for example III-6) use The Crowbar on the Wooden Box that has the Roboterteile ID (the IDs are on the shipping manifest in the War Factory Admin Room), this will give Flak Gun Round War Factory Core Foundry Fjord Road Dry Dock 3. Head to Turret Gun beside The Lighthouse and place Flak Gun Round then melee with Jotunn Star 4. Next, Head to The Robot Head in spawn and interact with it to search broken piece to get The Transmitter 5. Go to Tyr’s Head and place it inside the Wall Machine thingy at the top of the Ladder 6. Next, whilst inside of Tyr’s Head underneath the balcony there are 3 white lights, 2 of these lights will blink, count how many times it blinks -Both lights will remain on, There is the sound of a light turning on to indicate the start of a new light flashing cycle where both lights will flash at the same time to a certain count (for example left 2, right 5). Both lights will be on and then it will flash another set (for example left 6, right 4). (Unsure if these 2 combos have to be put into console in order but correct entry will give two different voicelines.) After entering one correctly you will be kicked out to hear voiceline and can re-enter console to input the 2nd shortly afterwards. 7. Now head to Core Foundry, and use a molotov to burn the ascender to access the consoles. 8. Ascend and interact with the consoles, The next part is timed and has a cooldown if you fail - you need to Calibrate the Amplitude and Frequency using the flashing light code. 9. Once this has been done head to the room Next to the Radio Tower and pick up The Wunderbarrage Controller Atomkraft Core 1. Find three uraniums: Uranium #1 Find the Fishing Rod (Olaf’s Personal Item) locations: - Dry Dock - Storm Bridge - Fishery Island - Beacon island Look for a Glowing Green Fish jumping around the water at each Fishing Location and use the Fishing Rod at that location once you see it Fishing Locations: Eidskallen Landing x2 Beacon Island x2 Eidskallen Square x2 Dry Dock (found one so far) Fishery Island x2 Tyr’s Foot (found one so far) Once the fish is caught it will spawn an Irradiated Ravager (HVT) that will disappear and respawn somewhere else, chase it down and kill it (check your map to see its location, it shows up as an HVT). It will drop a Uranium. Uranium #2 Next, Craft an ARC-XD (there is one for free in Eidskallen Square on top of a box near the flame trap, you can get it by fishing as well) and melee the vent at Core Foundry to the left of the zipline to open the Secret ARC-XD Course. Blow up the boat full of barrels. Once the course is completed the 935 Genetic Lab room will be open and another Uranium x2 will be inside a Prison Cell There are several Jars with Heads inside in this room, all labelled A,B,C,D,E Look down the Hallway inside the Lab and note which numbered rooms have Nuclear Symbols 1 = A, 2 = B, 3 = C, 4 = D and 5 = E Take one Jar at a time that corresponds with the Numbers next to Nuclear Symbols and place them on the machine to the right of the cell door, once the correct jars are placed the Jar on the left side of the machine will glow purple and you can pick up acid There is a Big Chunk of Meat on a desk next to multiple drawings in the same Room, interact with it, then Pick up The Necrospike Once you have The Necrospike, use it on the Prison Cell Door, this will trigger a lockpick mini game. Spin the lockpick until the lock turns white 3x to unlock the cell, then pick up the second Uranium. Uranium #3 Next you need to craft or obtain the Glocke Drop, once you have one call it in, then shoot 20 mid-air zombies it throws up. This will drop the third and final Uranium. 2. At the Dry Dock, you need to call a WunderBarrage (unlocked by completing Wundersignal steps) in on the “02 Building” at Dry Dock (where there’s debris on the stairs), this will open the stairs to the Machine Workshop. 3. Inside The Workshop there is a Claw Machine which you can place all of The Uranium inside of and play a mini-game. -Have a big group of 7 cores and a small group of 2 cores. 4. Once you complete the Mini-game you will be able to pick up The Atomkraft Core (Note: you drop if you zipline, and cant sprint with it) 5. Head to Quick Revive and place The Atomkraft Core on generator next to quick revive. Go into the shed behind quick revive and turn on the generator. You must now defend the The Atomkraft Core until it’s charged. In interrupted you must turn on the generator again to continue. 6. Take the The Atomkraft Core to the barrel on the Storm Bridge and a Mini-Cutscene will play between the Giant and The Robot. Vegvisir 1. After the cutscene finishes, The Dravakar Shard will spawn at Tyr’s Foot, pick it up 2. Pick it up and place the Shard inside the Bloodheim Hall on the bonfire 3. Use WW range attack to light the fire 4. Use Disciple Injection (there should be a free one around the map) and throw zombies into the bonfire (I only had to throw four) 5. A lockdown will start. Kill the boss zombie and pick up the Sunstone from the bonfire 6. Put the Sunstone in the church and do a range WW attack on it. 7. Around the map, there will now be floating rocks and runes. Above the church there will now be a compass with runes and arrows. -Shoot the floating rune rocks with the ranged WW in the order of the arrow lines. If an arrow has 1 line, then that's the first one. If an arrow has 2 lines, that's the second one, etc. 8. Go into Tyr's Head and interact with the console to start the boss fight.

Hey X, Family, friends, and warriors on here, I need to share something heavy that's been on my heart for only a couple of days. The doctors recently gave me news of cancer and a short 12-month timeline at best. I call BS on that. I feel strong, I'm fighting with everything I have, and I'm positive I'll beat this by God's grace. I'm anxiously waiting on a second opinion from another oncologist right now. Today I broke the news to my kiddos, all but the one overseas. My minors at home (including our new little Spider-Man who's been adjusting with us the past week after coming from a tough situation) and my college boy are now in the know. As a widower with no other living relatives, these boys depend on me, and I've never hidden things from them. We prayed together and we're standing on faith. I've only been carrying this quietly for a couple days, but I can't keep it hidden any longer. So many of you depend on me for the behind-the-scenes help and encouragement, and I have several close friends right here on this platform who have beaten the odds ,true God's warriors. Their testimonies fire me up. I know I'll join them in victory. Scripture I'm standing on: " Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up." (James 5:14-15) Also, "Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." (Galatians 6:2) Please cover me and my boys in prayer. I'm trusting God for complete healing and many more years of ministry, fatherhood, and service. He who began a good work will be faithful to complete it. Let's believe together, the battle is the Lord's. Much love and gratitude, Moon 🌙

One billionaire family controls the bridge that carries 25% of all U.S.–Canada trade. The good news? There's a brand new public bridge right next door (and Canada paid for the whole thing). The bad news? Donald Trump won't let it open. Here's the story: For more than a decade, Michigan and Canada worked together to build a new public crossing right next to it — six lanes over the Detroit River, named for a Canadian-born Red Wings legend, built by thousands of union workers. Canada paid the entire bill. Michigan co-owns it. It's finished. It’s a shining example of international cooperation and collaboration, with a tremendous return for both sides: more jobs, faster trade, and lower costs. So why isn't it open? Because the Moroun family, who own the rival Ambassador Bridge just up the river, doesn’t want the competition. They spent years and tens of millions of dollars trying to stop any competing international crossing from being built or opening. They lost. So they went to the White House instead. In January, Matthew Moroun gave $1 million to a pro-Trump super PAC. Then the billionaire called Trump's Commerce Secretary and, just hours later, Trump suddenly attacked the same publicly owned bridge he praised in his own first term and threatened to block it. Then, the day before the June 12th ribbon-cutting, the opening was called off indefinitely. It's corruption so flagrant it would be laughable if it weren't so damaging. Trump is screwing over Michiganders for the interests of billionaires — holding a finished, publicly owned project hostage to protect one donor's toll booth. So a finished bridge sits closed, Michiganders keep paying the higher tolls, cars and trucks cost more, and a billionaire family keeps its monopoly. Mr. President: stop playing games. Open the damn bridge.

Okay I think it's time for the Green Monday! This is a post for people who don't sleep (assuming investors even sleep) during the GLOBEX session PS. You must see the image in the comment! Friday was ugly. S&P 500 dumped 2.64% to 7,383.74, worst day since October, VIX up nearly 40% as the hedging machine kicked in. Everyone's asking the same thing into Sunday's open: fade it or buy it? I'm buying it - just not at 6pm ET like the dip can't get deeper. It all keys off 7350, where futures settled in GLOBEX. Two ways we open. The likely one: we gap up. Don't chase the first candle - after a 40% VIX pop you get a squeeze (S&P 500 goes up like crazy 2pm ET GLOBEX open), then a dip. Let the squeeze run, buy the first real pullback between 8pm and 3am ET. The other: we leak toward 7300 on lingering VIX hedging. Don't catch the knife - wait for it to base, a clean hold of 7300 or clear 5-minute support, then buy the rebound that usually shows late GLOBEX or 3-4am pre-market. Same plan either way: I buy the dip, not the rip. If you are bull, be smart bull. Where I want the close: 7400 is the floor, 7450 my base case, and 7500 is very much in play (though less probable than 7450) - about 2% off the GLOBEX pivot, with the Nasdaq roughly 2.5% higher (If S&P 500 hits 7500) on a chip snapback. Friday was a volatility event, those almost always make the whole market rebound a day or two after.

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.

I just need to say it… Some of you have LOST YOUR FRIGGIN MINDS over Hurricane Milton We Do live in Sarasota County where it’s making landfall right now but do NOT live on the coast (15 miles+ inland) People have been telling us all day that we deserve to die for not leaving and to write our daughters SSN on their arms to be identified. The video to the left is the worst it has gotten. Now I want to be VERY VERY clear. If you live on the beach, are in a mobile home, or a major flood zone… Evacuation is a NECESSITY. I hope those people all got out and are safe. But I’m not joking. I’ve had family and friends telling me that ALL Florida is going to be wiped out by Milton. And to kiss my daughters goodbye tonight because we stayed. Now I mostly blame the over sensationalist media for hyping everyone up making it sound like this was going to make landfall as the most catastrophic storm in history. It literally made landfall as a Cat 3 120mph winds. Thats far from the largest. People saw that it was a Cat 5 with 200 mph winds when it was in the middle of the ocean and thought it would land at that. TikTok and random “weather people” didn’t make this any better. It’s like the whole country was watching us like NASCAR… hoping to see that fatal crash. It’s messed up.

FIFA is floating a 64-team World Cup, and the whole football world is groaning. I am not. I just think they will do it badly, because they always do it badly. So here is the version that works. Sixteen groups of four. Two advance. That gives you a clean 32-team knockout bracket and kills the ugliest thing about the current format, those eight best third-place finishers they invented because 48 does not divide cleanly into anything. It was a fudge and everyone knew it. Sixty-four fixes it by accident. 127 matches. 64 nations. And the champion still plays only eight games. You doubled the field and did not add a step to the winner's road. Now the part that changes everything. One group, one city. Sixteen groups. Sixteen host cities. Your group plays every match in the same place. Fans book one hotel, one flight, one week off work, and settle in. Right now a supporter chases their team across a continent, three cities, three flights, three hotels, and half of them just give up and watch from home. Under this, a city does not host a match. A city adopts four countries for two weeks. And oh, the cities are going to have opinions. Whoever draws Japan should just relax. Those fans will stay after every match and clean the stadium, and if they get bored they may simply tidy up the whole city while they are at it. You will get your town back better than you left it. Whoever draws Scotland needs to order the booze in advance. All of it. Call your distributor now. The Tartan Army will be the best-behaved, most joyful, most catastrophically thirsty guests you have ever hosted, and they will make lifelong friends of everyone they meet, right up until the beer runs out and there is a diplomatic incident. Whoever draws the Netherlands needs to source orange buses. And orange everything. Those people will turn your downtown into a citrus flood, they will bring a marching band nobody asked for, and honestly it will be the best two weeks your city has ever had. Whoever draws Argentina, may God be with you. Whoever draws Norway, get the salmon in. Whoever draws Mexico, congratulations, your city just became a party and you were not consulted. That is a World Cup. Not a logistics exercise. A town square with the whole world in it. And here is the money. The moment the seeding is announced, the entire bracket exists. Every path, every matchup, every city, on one sheet of paper, months out. Bracket mania. Global bracket mania. Americans fill out 60 to 70 million brackets every March for a college basketball tournament. Office pools. Group chats. Grandmothers picking by mascot. It is the most engaging fortnight on our calendar and it exists entirely because you can see the whole map at once. Now do that with the entire planet. Which means killing the draw. Let us be honest about what that ceremony is. A man in a suit pulling balls from a bowl while the world pretends the biggest decision of the tournament was left to chance. It is a plot device, and it always bends the same direction. Toward the money, toward the hosts, toward the broadcast windows. The draw is not a ritual. It is a lever. So do it the American way. A committee seeds all 64, publishes the criteria, announces the bracket live, then defends it in public while the whole planet screams at the television. Transparency does not kill the drama. It creates it. And oh yeah. Kill the third place game. Nobody cares that you are the second best loser. Two heartbroken teams playing an exhibition in front of people who came for something else. No child has ever dreamed of lifting that trophy. Cut it. More nations. Cleaner bracket. One city per group. A bracket you can hold in your hand. Show me the committee. Show me the criteria. Then hand me a pen. I have picks to make. 🦋

Seedance V2 Now the prompt is out you can change the character's the food and the location, have fun 🤭 realistic live-action, single continuous shot, full first-person POV, no cuts, no angle changes, no scene transitions, no montage, no flash cuts, no music, no subtitles. Only two characters: my unseen first-person POV and @ Image1 sitting across from me. Natural ambient sound only: light restaurant noise, tableware, distant water, faint voices, chewing, spitting, rinsing, my laughter. Setting: Outdoor dining table beside West Lake, Hangzhou, near the water, calm daylight or soft late afternoon light. Real smartphone-video realism, grounded textures, realistic food, realistic body and hand motion, accurate chopstick use, accurate mouth movement, accurate eye focus. The lake stays visible to one side of frame. Character: @ Image1 is the only visible person. She can switch seamlessly between slightly fierce-cute and soft adorable. Lip sync, voice, expressions, and body language stay fully synchronized. Emotional arc: cheerful and relaxed while eating, then shocked disgust, then angry embarrassment. Table: Exactly 7 dishes on the table. One dish is the West Lake vinegar fish shown in @ Image2. @ Image1 is happily eating rice and the other dishes, but not the fish at first. The table feels full but readable. The fish dish remains clearly visible before I offer it to her. Camera: Entire video is from my seated first-person view across the table. My hand and chopsticks may enter frame naturally. Slight handheld micro-shake from breathing and laughter only, never chaotic. No third-person shots, no reverse shots, no overhead shots, no cutaways. Continuous believable framing centered on @ Image1 with part of the lake visible. Action: @ Image1 sits opposite me, happily eating from her bowl, enjoying rice and other dishes except the West Lake vinegar fish. She looks bright, playful, relaxed, cute. From first-person POV, I pick up one bite of the fish with chopsticks and slowly extend it toward her. She notices it immediately, trusts me, leans forward, opens her mouth happily, and makes a cute “aam” sound as she bites the fish. I gently pull the chopsticks and my hand back out of frame. She chews happily for about one second, expecting it to taste good. Then the taste hits. Her expression changes instantly into exaggerated but believable disgust. Her face shifts into a comedic purple-disgust reaction while staying within realistic live-action style. She quickly turns toward the lake and spits it out with repeated “ptui, ptui, ptui” sounds. The motion is fast, fluid, and continuous from chewing to rejection. The moment she starts spitting, I begin laughing in first-person POV and keep laughing through the whole reaction. My laughter sounds genuine, amused, and uncontrollable, coming from behind the camera. The camera shakes slightly from laughing. After spitting, @ Image1 sticks out her tongue in disgust, immediately grabs the water on the table, and rinses her mouth quickly. She looks offended, embarrassed, irritated, but still vivid and cute. After rinsing, she snaps into angry frustration, grabs the entire fish dish from the table, and throws it into the nearby lake in one continuous motion. Ending: She finishes the throw angrily, still facing the lake, clearly annoyed and feeling betrayed, while I remain in first-person POV laughing. Keep the action continuous and clean. No extra characters enter frame.

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day feature the most impressive severe thunderstorm setup I’ve seen along the California coastline in at least a decade. The first round of isolated severe thunderstorms will come ashore tonight, bringing the threat of a isolated tornado and severe wind gusts over 60 mph from the Central Coast up to Humboldt County. The severe weather threat then expands into the Central Valley during the afternoon, California’s tornado alley, with the potential for isolated tornadoes, damaging winds, and even large hail. The threat then shifts south into Southern California tomorrow, where isolated severe wind gusts and a brief tornado will be possible. However, Christmas Eve into Christmas morning features the most potent severe weather environment of the week and could lead to a severe thunderstorm outbreak along the coastline from the Central Coast up to the North Coast. The combination of strong low-level and deep-layer shear with sufficient instability is rarely seen in this part of the world. I seriously cannot recall seeing Significant Tornado Parameter (STP) values exceed 3 along the California coastline. The peak threat window appears to be from 10 PM Thursday to 8 AM Friday. It would not be out of the question to see a Severe Thunderstorm Watch issued Christmas Eve night with the potential for a couple tornadoes and scattered severe wind gusts. I also believe this may be the first time on record that San Francisco has been placed under a Marginal Risk for severe thunderstorms in the Day 1–3 NWS Storm Prediction Center Convective Outlooks.

Simply use CapCut to recreate this. Head to capcut and go to Capcut Studio and paste this prompt: [Style] Live-action + 2D Anime Sticker Composite Funny Short Video, First-Person Beach Grilling POV (POV Cooking Vlog), Realistic Beach Environment Mixed with Flat Cartoon Sticker Style for Strong Contrast, 8K Ultra HD, Handheld with Slight Shake, Vertical Screen [Duration] 10 seconds [Scene] Realistic beach first-person view: A small portable charcoal grill with several hotdogs cooking on the grates. Real person's hand holding metal tongs, flipping and moving the hotdogs. Background shows bright beach environment with sand, ocean waves, blue sky, and some distant palm trees. Natural sunlight with realistic lighting and shadows. A small wooden stool is placed beside the grill. [Character] Q-version Anime Sticker Character (flat 2D sticker texture, cartoon outlines, paper-cut feel): Golden long hair with straight bangs, big purple round eyes, pink blush, wearing a cute beach outfit (light blue bikini top with white frills, matching beach skirt, small sun hat, and yellow sunglasses resting on her head). She is sitting on the small wooden stool beside the grill, height about half the size of the grill, maintaining pure 2D flat quality throughout, not affected by real lighting. Real person's hand (photorealistic, skin texture visible) entering from the right side of the frame. [00:00-00:03] Shot 1: Sauce Sabotage (Overpouring) First-person POV: Real person's hand using tongs to flip hotdogs on the grill. The sticker character has a mischievous grin, raises both hands holding a big squeeze bottle of ketchup, and sneakily pours a huge amount of ketchup all over the hotdogs in one go — thick red sauce dramatically covers the hotdogs like a waterfall. Real physics on the sauce. Sound Effects: Sizzling hotdogs + thick ketchup squirting sound. [00:03-00:05] Shot 2: Bottle Snatch & Tongs Bonk Real person's hand quickly snatches the ketchup bottle away from her. The other hand raises the metal tongs and lightly bonks her head with the flat side — cartoon "Duang" effect, a red cartoon bump appears on her head, her whole body jolts from the impact. Sound Effects: Metallic "bonk" + cartoon spring sound. [00:05-00:08] Shot 3: Cry & Force Feed Sticker character holds the bump on her head, eyes turn into spirals (swirl eyes), mouth wide open crying with blue cartoon tears spraying out. Real person's hand immediately uses the tongs to pick up one overly sauced hotdog and stuffs it into her mouth mid-cry. Sound Effects: Exaggerated cartoon crying + mouth stuffing sound. [00:08-00:10] Shot 4: Overload KO Her cheeks puff up, she is forced to swallow, face turns pale, body stiffens and twitches. Eyes turn into "X"s as she dramatically falls backward off the small wooden stool and lands flat on the sand with legs up. Spinning dizzy stars appear above her head and a small wisp of white smoke comes out of her mouth. Frame freezes. Sound Effects: Thud + cartoon dizzy sound + faint ascension tone. Negative Prompt: blurry, low quality, deformed hands, extra limbs, text, watermark, logo, realistic 3D character, overexposed, underexposed, dark lighting

Head to capcut and go to Capcut Studio and paste this prompt: [Style] Live-action + 2D Anime Sticker Composite Funny Short Video, First-Person Beach Grilling POV (POV Cooking Vlog), Realistic Beach Environment Mixed with Flat Cartoon Sticker Style for Strong Contrast, 8K Ultra HD, Handheld with Slight Shake, Vertical Screen [Duration] 10 seconds [Scene] Realistic beach first-person view: A small portable charcoal grill with several hotdogs cooking on the grates. Real person's hand holding metal tongs, flipping and moving the hotdogs. Background shows bright beach environment with sand, ocean waves, blue sky, and some distant palm trees. Natural sunlight with realistic lighting and shadows. A small wooden stool is placed beside the grill. [Character] Q-version Anime Sticker Character (flat 2D sticker texture, cartoon outlines, paper-cut feel): Golden long hair with straight bangs, big purple round eyes, pink blush, wearing a cute beach outfit (light blue bikini top with white frills, matching beach skirt, small sun hat, and yellow sunglasses resting on her head). She is sitting on the small wooden stool beside the grill, height about half the size of the grill, maintaining pure 2D flat quality throughout, not affected by real lighting. Real person's hand (photorealistic, skin texture visible) entering from the right side of the frame. [00:00-00:03] Shot 1: Sauce Sabotage (Overpouring) First-person POV: Real person's hand using tongs to flip hotdogs on the grill. The sticker character has a mischievous grin, raises both hands holding a big squeeze bottle of ketchup, and sneakily pours a huge amount of ketchup all over the hotdogs in one go — thick red sauce dramatically covers the hotdogs like a waterfall. Real physics on the sauce. Sound Effects: Sizzling hotdogs + thick ketchup squirting sound. [00:03-00:05] Shot 2: Bottle Snatch & Tongs Bonk Real person's hand quickly snatches the ketchup bottle away from her. The other hand raises the metal tongs and lightly bonks her head with the flat side — cartoon "Duang" effect, a red cartoon bump appears on her head, her whole body jolts from the impact.

As college football coaches, due to our new annual college football schedule, there aren’t consecutive “Days Off” like we used to have in the past, thus the reason I’m taking advantage of these next few days off — starting today. Context: this is the first time the Atuaia family has been together as one unit since 2020 Covid Christmas. We got up this morning (11am😂) to ready ourselves for a FAMILY PHOTOSHOOT that hasn’t happened since 2017 due to 3 LDS missions, 3 job changes, 3 moves to 3 different states, and mostly the multiple excuses I’ve given NOT to be available for this event. After the Photoshoot, our kids wanted to go to Savage Fish in Millcreek for Pokē. My kids know a little about it, but we (Liz and I) have a Christmas story concerning the owners of Savage Fish. 16 years to the day, we were at BYU struggling financially as I was a full time graduate student and Liz a stay-at-home Mom with our 6 young kids to look after. Literally, every penny went to pay for our daily survival. On this day (23rd) these angels on earth came to our 2 bed/1 bath Wymount Terrace apartment to save Christmas for 6 little kids and 2 thankful parents. Today, as I watched each of my kids order their pokē bowl, the same who were blessed by the owners of Savage Fish years ago, I tugged at Liz’s sweater to reminder her of that day. She smiled and simply said “Tender mercies.” Right now, I’m typing this and drinking my kava while listening to all 7 of my kids, led by the oldest child in our family, putting together over a hundred “GIFT PACKAGES” to personally handout to less fortunate folks outside homeless shelters, multiple public parks, and other areas frequented by this demographic in Salt Lake City area. My kids, not prompted by me in anyway, have done this everywhere we’ve lived in the past: Charlottesville Virginia, Pullman Washington, and now Salt Lake City, Utah. We have been the beneficiaries of other people’s kindness all our lives (including recently with a stranger saving my wife’s life—a stranger we have not found yet), paying it forward is simply just the right thing to do. If we have any juice left tonight, we’ll likely do our annual Christmas Song for the online masses. Or, we’ll just mixx as a family and enjoy laughing like crazy. Either way, it’s been an awesome day.

What happens when Europeans find out how poor they are? The Europoor? Nothing. That’s what happens. Americans ring the White House every morning to ask what the GDP is today, the way the rest of us check the weather. The trouble is that GDP is what you get when you stick Jeff Bezos and a man sleeping in a Walmart car park into a spreadsheet and take the average. It tells you the country is rich. It does not tell you that a hundred million people inside it are quietly not. GDP measures how much money sloshes around. It does not measure whether any of it ever reaches you, or what sort of life you get to live once it does. It also, rather conveniently, doesn’t mention the bill. Because the whole American miracle is being run on a credit card that has been on fire since the Reagan administration. The federal government owes nearly forty trillion dollars. The households owe another eighteen. Car loans, student loans, medical debt, a mortgage the size of a small principality, and a Visa bill that arrives in an envelope you have to open with tongs. This is the country lecturing the rest of us about prosperity. This is a man pulling up to valet parking in a leased Lamborghini and calling himself rich because nobody at the table has yet asked to see his bank statement. Run any household like that and the bailiffs would be through the door by Thursday. Run a country like that and apparently you get to be on the cover of The Economist. And this is where the whole sermon falls apart. Because on every single thing that actually makes a life worth getting out of bed for, Europe wins. Not by a bit. By a humiliating distance. The food. The streets. The holidays. The pavements you can walk on without being flattened by a Dodge the size of a small barn. The cities built before the invention of the strip mall. The Tuesday afternoon that contains an actual lunch, rather than a protein bar eaten standing up over a keyboard. The summer that contains an actual summer. Pick any parameter that matters to a human being who is alive and would like to remain so in reasonable spirits, and Europe is ahead. Often by a mile. Sometimes by an ocean. So no. Europeans are not about to find out how poor they are. We found out years ago, had a long hard look at the alternative, the debt, the diabetes, the drive-thru funerals, and decided we’d really rather not.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ If you like what you read, follow Gandalv on X: Gandalv

The best-preserved warship in the world is also one of the most catastrophic failures in naval history. It sank on its maiden voyage, after sailing barely 1300 meters, in front of thousands of horrified spectators... It is called the Vasa, and it was meant to be the most magnificent warship ever built. Constructed between 1626 and 1628 on the orders of King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, it bristled with 64 bronze cannons and was covered, from bow to stern, in hundreds of gilded and painted sculptures of lions, warriors, and mythological figures, all designed to announce the power of the Swedish crown. It was a floating palace built for war. On the 10th of August 1628, the Vasa set sail from Stockholm harbour on a calm day with a light breeze. The gun ports were open, the cannons run out to fire a ceremonial salute. A first gust of wind heeled the ship over, and it slowly righted itself. Then a second gust struck. The ship leaned hard to one side, water poured in through the open lower gun ports, and within minutes the pride of the Swedish navy rolled over and sank, less than a mile from where it had begun. Around 30 people died, in full view of the crowds who had gathered to watch it depart. But the disaster became a miracle: the Vasa sank into the cold, oxygen-poor, low-salt water of the Baltic Sea, where the shipworm that devours wooden wrecks in most of the world's oceans cannot survive. So the ship did not rot. It waited... For 333 years it lay on the harbor floor, almost perfectly intact, until it was raised in 1961. Today, more than 95 percent of what you see is the original seventeenth-century timber. It is the only preserved ship of its century anywhere on Earth. The thing that should have erased the Vasa from history is the very thing that saved it. Had it sailed successfully, it would have served its years, worn out, and been broken up for scrap centuries ago, like every other warship of its time. Because it failed so completely, and so quickly, it survived. We can stand before it now, an extraordinary relic of the seventeenth century frozen in time, only because, on its very first day, everything went wrong... If this kind of history fascinates you, I send out a piece like this every week to readers who love finding the extraordinary stories the past left behind.

A 19 year old Chinese student controls an AI security system from his bed through Telegram. Types one message on his phone, the device across the room wakes up, starts watching and reports back to him like an employee. While American companies charge $100 for a Ring camera plus $4 a month for cloud, this kid spent $10 once and built something smarter. He sent a Telegram message: open maixcam and notify me if a person detected. One second later his phone buzzed back. Green checkmark. Status: Active. Monitoring: Person detection enabled. Notifications: Telegram ready. His roommate laughed. Said a $10 device can't do real security. Then someone walked past the door. The phone buzzed instantly. Person detected. Class: person. Confidence: 92.00%. Position: (120, 80). Size: 100x150. Not a blurry photo 45 seconds later like Amazon cameras. Exact data in under 1 second. What it saw, how sure it is, where the person is standing, how big they are. All through a Telegram message. He built the whole thing with Claude Code in one weekend. The AI runs directly on the device, no cloud, no subscription, no internet needed after setup. 10MB of memory. Boots in 1 second. Camera sees, chip thinks, Telegram delivers. Posted a 17 second demo. GitHub exploded. 7,400 stars in 2 days. But person detection was just the demo. A developer in Tokyo forked it and pointed it at his front door. Telegram alert with a photo every time a delivery arrives. A mom in Seoul pointed it at her baby's crib. Gets a message when the baby stands up. A business owner in Shenzhen bought 6 for $60 total, mounted them around his warehouse and replaced a $200 a month security service. His entire security system is now a Telegram group chat with 6 AI cameras. Someone commented under the GitHub repo: I'm a senior engineer at a home security company. We have a team of 8 working on person detection. This 19 year old did it alone with Claude Code on a $10 device and it works better than our product. The student isn't a machine learning engineer. He's a second year CS student who wanted to know when his roommate eats his snacks. Claude Code wrote the detection model, the Telegram bot, the alert system and the boot sequence. He just described what he wanted. The roommate who laughed now has one pointed at his own shelf. Same device, same code, same Telegram bot. He stops losing snacks. The student stops losing sleep. Everyone is paying $100 for smart cameras with $4 monthly subscriptions. China is building the same thing for $10 with a Telegram chat and Claude Code. 7,400 stars. One weekend. One student who asked Claude Code to watch his door and accidentally built something better than Ring.
