“Mesmo cantando essa música por todo mundo, houve um momento em que eu perdi meu rugido. Porque às vezes o que as pessoas falam de você realmente te machuca. Você nunca sabe pelo que a pessoa está passando e é por isso que digo para sempre escolhermos a bondade. Mas nesse momento da minha vida eu recuperei meu rugido porque aprendi a me priorizar.” — Parte do discurso de Katy Perry antes de cantar Roar no Rock In Rio Lisboa 🥺
TRT, Kanada ile Katar arasında oynanan maçta sakatlık nedeniyle duran oyunu su molası zannederek reklama gitti.
Maç oynanırken 1,5 dakika sonra apar topar yayına geri giren TRT, 1 dakika sonra hakemin su molasını işaret etmesi nedeniyle tekrar reklama gitti.
Social media trends have turned the world’s most beautiful places into endless bathroom lines at a concert, where everyone waits for hours just to take the same photo to show to people who couldn’t care less 🌎📸
Nothing captures the shallow decay of our time better than this
Bir kadının, 'Nasıl kandırıldığımın hikayesi' başlıklı paylaşımı:
"Eve yerleştiğiniz kesinleşene kadar çok uslu oluyorsunuz. Olay çıkarmıyorsunuz. Üzgün üzgün duruyorsunuz hep."
A single ship anchored off Ghana's coast generates about 12% of the country's electricity.

In Yemen, 90% of men and 50% of women chew khat daily. A quarter of all their household income is spent on this plant.
Alcohol is haram, but they are all drug addicts. Make it make sense.
Globus - The Soviet Mechanical "Space GPS"
Before digital computers took over, Soviet spacecraft used something extraordinary: a fully mechanical navigation computer called Globus.
Installed in missions like Vostok and Soyuz, this device used a system of gears, cams, and rotating mechanisms to calculate the spacecraft's position in real time. As the capsule orbited Earth, Globus would continuously update-showing where the crew was above the planet.
No screens. No software.
Just pure engineering.
By factoring in orbital motion, Earth's rotation, and time, the system could accurately track ground position and even help determine reentry timing and landing zones.
It was reliable, self-contained, and didn't depend on external signals-making it perfect for the early space age.
A reminder that long before digital navigation... spaceflight was powered by clockwork precision.
