A guy named Plumes goes to national parks, zoos etc and sings to animals as he plays his guitar.
The wolf here is called Dirvus, and he's the last remaining of his pack. The keepers said he had been very lonely and withdrawn and hasn't howled in a long time. Until now 🥹🥰

Rich actor living in a $12M Greenwich Village brownstone is confused about socialism. Shocker.
These are not socialist programs. These are public services in a mixed economy. Every bit of equipment the fire department uses is from private industry. FedEx and UPS are better than USPS, and index funds outperform social security by like 5x.
This is how the commies try lure you in. They either lie about what socialism is, or they're just too dumb to understand it themselves. Either way, it's easy for a rich actor to wax poetic about "sharing the wealth". He just goes back to his secured luxury real estate. Being insufferably dumb is a prerequisite for being a socialist, clearly.
Listen to this arrogant race hustler LeBron James who claims that the reason he plays golf is to open doors for kids who look like him to play golf.
Apparently he doesn't know that a person who looks like him has been the most famous golfer on planet Earth this century!
PepsiCo, the parent company of Doritos, lost over $1 billion after raising the price of a bag of Doritos to $6-$7. People stopped buying them. They later lowered the price to recover some of the lost revenue, but sales are still down.
I love that for them.

Driverless delivery trucks are quickly taking over.
No limits on drivers hours, no salary or insurances for the employee drivers & the data will soon show they are safer.

There's a new guy at work and he's been here maybe two weeks and we're in a meeting and my boss is talking about quarterly goals or whatever and she goes "we really need to circle back to customer retention" and this guy raises his hand and goes "I have a question" and my boss is like yes and he goes "why do you always say circle back?" and the whole room goes quiet and my boss is like what and he goes "you say it like every meeting is there a reason we're going in circles why don't we just go forward" and someone coughs and he's still going "like I've been keeping track you've said it eighteen times in two weeks" and my boss just stares at him and goes "have you never worked in an office before" and he goes "I have but nobody said circle back this much it feels aggressive" and I swear my boss aged five years and she goes "it's just a phrase" and he goes "okay but like why circles" and she just moved on with the meeting. He got let go during his probation period today and I heard him ask HR if it was because of the circle thing.
A college student just killed the biggest advantage politicians have ever had. The gap between the lie and the fact-check.
He built a Chrome extension called InTruth. It listens to any live speech, debate, or interview.
Transcribes every word. And checks every claim against real sources in real time. Before the speaker even finishes the sentence.
It works on debates. Press conferences. Town halls. Interviews. Anything with someone talking on video. The fact-check shows up on your screen while they're still talking.
Until now, fact-checking happened hours or days later. By then the clip has been shared, the headline has been written, and the damage is done. Nobody reads the correction.
InTruth closes that gap to seconds. The claim and the fact-check exist in the same moment.
A college student, a Chrome extension, and an AI model just did what entire newsrooms couldn't figure out for decades.
Kevin Hart couldn’t stop laughing after Marcello Hernandez started doing an impression of him, mocking him for always being on the phone and constantly talking about money😭😭💀

🚨Wow! A man and his family go to a Morgan Wallen concert and some guy relieved himself on them😱
—Naturally he calls the police, but when they arrive they tell him they cannot arrest this man due to Maryland laws.
—He says, “so a man can pull out his____urinate on me, my brother and my niece and there’s nothing you can do?”
— instead of arresting the perpetrator, the police gave his info to the victim saying he could file a report later or press charges.
Really, is this where we are at?
Is there nothing these police officers could’ve done?
A chaotic scene unfolded at Morgan Wallen’s concert this weekend at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. A man, apparently caught up in the “Still the Problem” energy, allegedly treated the crowded area as his personal restroom—urinating directly on a nearby family that included young children.
Shocked concertgoers watched as the family confronted him, sparking a confrontation that eventually drew security into the fray. According to Troy Grevelding, one of the victims who later posted about the incident, police responded but ultimately released the man without charges. Grevelding, his wife, brother, and their 8-year-old niece were all reportedly urinated on during the show.
According to J.R.R. Tolkien, Gollum's life and death are among the greatest tragedies in the history of Middle-earth. Tolkien himself was reportedly moved to tears while writing the famous passage from "The Stairs of Cirith Ungol" 😭
"Gollum looked at them. A strange expression passed over his lean hungry face. The gleam faded from his eyes and they went dim and grey, old and tired. A spasm of pain seemed to twist him, and he turned away, peering back up towards the pass, shaking his head, as if engaged in some interior debate. Then he came back, and slowly putting out a trembling hand, very cautiously he touched Frodo’s knee - but almost the touch was a caress. For a fleeting moment, could one of the sleepers have seen him, they would have thought that they beheld an old weary hobbit, shrunken by the years that had carried him far beyond his time, beyond friends and kin, and the fields and streams of youth, an old starved pitiable thing.”
At that moment, Gollum had a genuine chance to free himself from the Ring's corruption and reconnect with Frodo, allowing Sméagol, the good part of himself, to return. But that chance was lost.
The Ring had corrupted every part of his being, his mind, his morality, and even his physical form. Its hold over him was so complete that he could no longer abandon it of his own free will. Yet the true turning point came on the Stairs of Cirith Ungol.
While Sam slept and Frodo rested peacefully with his head upon Sam's lap, Gollum returned. Seeing them together in such peace and affection, the sly gleam in his eyes faded. For a brief moment, he looked like nothing more than an old, weary Hobbit. Sméagol awakened within him. Filled with genuine repentance and compassion, he slowly reached out and gently touched Frodo's knee. In that moment, he truly pitied Frodo, saw him once again as his "dear master," and was perhaps on the verge of abandoning his betrayal, his plan to lead them into Shelob's lair.
At that exact moment, Sam suddenly awoke. Seeing Gollum touching Frodo, and remembering that Gollum had previously tried to strangle Frodo in his sleep, Sam instinctively reacted to protect his master. He harshly rebuked Gollum, accusing him of being a sneaking traitor once again.
Tolkien makes it clear that this was Sam's great mistake. He stated that had Sam not awakened and spoken so harshly to Gollum at that moment, Gollum would have turned completely back to the good. Furthermore, Tolkien suggested that when they finally reached Mount Doom, and Frodo claimed the Ring instead of destroying it, Gollum would most likely still have bitten the Ring from Frodo's finger. However, in this version of events, he would have willingly cast himself into the Fire with the Ring in order to save Frodo.
In short, although the Ring's corrupting influence is undeniable, Tolkien believed that the decisive moment in Gollum's fall, the instant he lost his final chance at redemption and surrendered himself completely to evi, was triggered by Sam's harsh rebuke on the Stairs of Cirith Ungol. For Tolkien, this was one of the greatest tragedies in all of Middle-earth.
