Many experts consider Leng Jun's 2004 oil painting one of the most hyper-realistic artworks ever created, with some even comparing it to the Mona Lisa. 🔥
he moved both his baby sister and his momma out the way, he was READY😭. and this is literally the only time we publicly seen him this angry, he never played abt his fans ever.
Back in December, Victor Wembanyama was asked whether the NBA Cup prize money was any motivation for him:
"Poor Vic needs more money, right?
No, I haven't thought about what I'm gonna do with it.. Just stacking money hasn't really been any goal of mine in my life."

The more I watch Tarris Reed Jr, the more I realize Spurs didn't just draft a player.
They drafted a solution.
One of our biggest weaknesses over the last few seasons wasn't talent, it was having another physical presence who embraces the dirty work.
- Rebounding.
- Setting bone crushing screens.
- Protecting the paint.
- Winning 50/50 balls.
Doing the things that never make the highlight reel but win playoff games. That's why his integration into this team is going to be fascinating.
I'm more interested in how Coach Mitch's staff uses him than how many points he'll average.
Because if they unlock Reed's strengths alongside Wemby Spurs become a much tougher team to bully for 48 minutes.
Yo I can't even lie fr.
I'm genuinely excited to see this squad grow together the future in Spurs looks different and exciting.
Wemby: 5 yr 252 M ≈ 50.4M Per Year
SGA: 4 yr 285 M ≈ 71.25M Per Year
Jokic: 5yr 276 M ≈ 55.2M Per Year
Luka: 3yr 165 M ≈ 55M Per Year
Giannis: 3yr 175 M ≈ 58.3M Per Year
Tatum: 5yr 314 M ≈ 62.8M Per Year
Mitchell: 4yr 273 M ≈ 68.25M
BITW. Best Value in the World.
First teaser for ‘BUDDY’, a new horror movie starring Cristin Milioti, Topher Grace and Michael Shannon.
The film follows a girl and her friends who must escape a demented kids TV show.
In theaters on August 28.
This is the ending I choose to believe.
Nikki realizes she’ll be blamed, so she takes Ian’s money, steals his car, and disappears. To everyone else, it looks like Bear killed Sarah and Ian before taking his own life.
Nikki tells the truth in the only believable way: Bear kidnapped and abused her, she escaped, and she survives.
She gets therapy instead of prison, becomes a writer, and turns her trauma into the horror story that eventually becomes #Obsession.
Lee Hyun-Jung on why it is important for him to be playing in the Summer League for the Spurs (over National duties):
“Playing in the NBA is my biggest dream of my life. That’s the reason I play basketball. This is the opportunity I have to take.. I have to chase my dream.”

Taiwan solved tax evasion in 1951 with a trick so cheap it should embarrass every tax authority on the planet.
The problem was an all-cash economy full of small shops. A merchant pockets the cash, skips the receipt, and the sale never existed. Auditors can't catch what was never recorded, and hiring enough of them to watch every noodle stand costs more than the missing tax.
So finance chief Ren Xianqun flipped the incentive. Print a lottery number on every receipt. Draw winners every two months on live TV. Top prize today: NT$10 million, about $310K.
Suddenly the customer and the shopkeeper want opposite things. The merchant wants the sale off the books. The customer wants the ticket. And there are millions more customers than merchants. Every transaction now carries a built-in witness demanding the paper trail.
Year one, reported tax revenue jumped 75%, from NT$29 million to NT$51 million. Seventy-five years later, roughly 70% of Taiwanese still play. Convenience stores redeem the smallest NT$200 prizes at the register, so even a coffee receipt feels like a scratch card.
The elegant part is what the audit force costs. The prize pool runs about NT$7 billion a year, roughly $20 million. In exchange, the government gets 23 million unpaid auditors working every checkout line in the country, forever. No inspector general on earth delivers that coverage at that price.
Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Slovakia all copied it. The most effective compliance tool ever built looks like a game, and that's exactly why it works.
