Angelina Jolie refused to work on any Weinstein production after he tried to sexually assault in the 90s. She even refused Aviator because of him. And she still became one of Hollywood biggest living movie star. Tired of seeing this lame ass tweet every couple of months
Matthew Livelsberger, the man killed in the Cybertruck explosion, turned out to be an abusive incel that had 2 political manifestos in which he called for a violent, militia-backed "culling" of "Dems" and "national rebirth" of "masculinity" under the leadership of Trump, Musk and Kennedy Jr.

Sigiriya Under the Stars ✨ - A Promising Idea with Room for Improvement
⭕️Sigiriya, Sri Lanka is opening for night visits. While this is an amazing initiative by the Tourism Ministry, their timing around full moon nights needs serious reconsideration.
🗓️ Current plan: Opening for five nights monthly (full moon + two days before and after). However, the full moon is actually undermining the best aspect of this promising initiative, as it is the worst time for stargazing or photography.
⭕️ The moon's bright illumination acts as a major source of natural light pollution, significantly impacting the visibility of other night sky objects. Those breathtaking Milky Way photographs are impossible to capture during moonlit nights. Similarly, meteor showers, galaxies, nebulae, and other deep-sky objects become nearly impossible to observe when competing with the moon's brightness.
⭕️ Better approach: Schedule visits during darker moon phases. Imagine watching the Perseids meteor shower from atop an ancient fortress! That's the kind of unique experience we should aim for.
⭕️ Obtaining Dark Sky Place certification for Sigiriya through the International Dark-Sky Association would tap into the high-end astrotourism market, attracting dedicated sky watchers, astro photographers, and eco-conscious travelers who specifically seek out certified Dark Sky locations worldwide.
⭕️ If the Ministry wishes to maintain the five-day monthly schedule, they should consider selecting dates further from the full moon when the sky is naturally darker. These slots could be strategically aligned with special astronomical events like meteor showers or comet appearances, potentially commanding premium prices from enthusiasts. During such events, the combination of Sigiriya's historical majesty and optimal stargazing conditions could create an unparalleled tourism experience.
⭕️ The earned media Sri Lanka could gain from this to attract high-value tourists, particularly through stunning photos shared among the high-value, niche tourist segment, would be enormous.

Blake Lively is a well known actress married to one of the most popular guys in Hollywood while Justin Baldoni isn’t even a household name. If he was pulling this shit on her, what kind of shit are the big name directors pulling on no name actresses?
It’s been four days since Human Rights Watch released a 179-page report on Israel committing genocide in Gaza and I still can’t find a story from the New York Times, “the newspaper of record.”
But I got a push notification about Blake Lively and they have multiple articles.
Blake Lively has my eternal respect for exposing that PR firm and Justin Baldoni’s calculated smear campaign against her. I feel so vindicated bc I used to rant about how there were entire teams devoted to launching these hate campaigns online & everyone would call me crazy
It's nauseating to read this when we know how much suffering & how many procedures our transplant patients go through to get approval for even a few lakhs of rupees from the President's fund.
I'm absolutely disgusted that these are the types of people we choose to represent us.
What in the name of everything holy is the NPP doing keeping Asoka Ranwala as an MP? I'd have thought his resignation should be the first thing that happened on Monday. Party leadership can't be so stupid they don't realise that this is incredibly damaging to the Government.
If Ranwala refuses to resign as an MP in the face of overwhelming evidence that he lied to both the people and the party, then it's imperative that Parliament removes him through constitutional provisions. Every single second Asoka Ranwala stays in office, NPP loses credibility.
Dear president @anuradisanayake, quick question:
Why is Mr. (yes, MISTER, now that we know he faked his doctorate, and yes, I have proof) Asoka Ranwala still functioning as an MP from NPP?
Academic dishonesty is still dishonesty. It's time to purge, don't you think?
i’ve always known atla was great but the moment when aang calls out the fire nation’s propaganda in the headband episode really solidified it for me. it shows how easily history can be rewritten by the victors and how an entire nation can cover up its darkest crimes
