Seven dogs stolen from their owners have gone viral after escaping from an illegal transport truck and making their way home.

They traveled around 17 km together, led by a corgi across highways and fields, now safely back with their respective owners..🐶🐾🥺❤️

“Nothing Really Matters” by Madonna as you've never heard it before! Here made up entirely of dialogue from various different films and TV shows, it proves nothing really matters, except Madonna. 💖

The Hours was released 23 years ago.

Nicole Kidman stayed isolated on set while playing Virginia Woolf. The accent, and even the silence between takes were protected so the character wouldn’t fracture. That control is why the performance won the Oscar.

SUNSET BOULEVARD was released 75 years ago today. One of the most acclaimed films of legendary writer-director Billy Wilder, and one of the great movies about Hollywood, the making of story is still big – it’s the pictures that got small…

This video always gets me 🥹. Two of my most favorite royals.

The bond between Prince William and Queen Elizabeth II was uniquely special—both deeply personal and profoundly influential. As both his grandmother and sovereign, the Queen played a dual role in his life: one of loving matriarch and another as a guiding mentor.

From early childhood, their relationship was warm and close. Following the tragic death of Princess Diana in 1997, the Queen became a stabilizing presence, offering emotional support and stepping into a more nurturing role alongside Prince Charles. Unlike her more reserved parenting style, she was notably more affectionate and relaxed with her grandchildren—especially William.

During the turmoil of his parents’ troubled marriage and the aftermath of Diana’s passing, the Queen acted as a steady, grounding force. She helped shield William from the emotional and public fallout, creating a sense of security through routine, quiet time at Balmoral or Windsor, and upholding family unity. These peaceful retreats allowed William to escape the media glare and spend time with extended family, reinforcing tradition and continuity.

At the same time, the Queen subtly began preparing William for his future role as king. She didn’t give formal lessons but instead led by quiet example—inviting him to accompany her at key royal events and gradually involving him in more responsibilities. As William matured, she held regular, private conversations with him, mentoring him not only on royal duties but also on how to carry himself with grace and dignity in the public eye.

In every stage of his life, Queen Elizabeth II remained a pillar of strength and guidance, profoundly shaping the man and future monarch Prince William has become.

May he continue to be the person she guided him to become, and make her proud when he one day takes the throne.

@RoyalReporter No point in continuing to fight any more. Maybe no point in hanging on either. The line has been drawn in the sand.

This incredible video uses AI to show the late Queen Elizabeth through different ages in her life.

How missed she is by so many in our country.

[Kateri Seraphina @KateriSeraphina]

Le célèbre scientifique Albert Einstein avait pour habitude de marcher chaque jour sur une distance de 2,4 kilomètres pour se rendre à l’Université de Princeton (États-Unis) et en revenir, durant son temps passé à travailler là-bas.
Cependant, pour Einstein, cette habitude n’était pas simplement une façon de maintenir sa forme physique. Il croyait fermement que la marche contribuait à renforcer la mémoire, stimuler la créativité et trouver des solutions aux problèmes complexes. Il était également convaincu que marcher aide à chasser les pensées négatives, à détendre les zones du cerveau impliquées dans la réflexion complexe, et à procurer un sentiment de bonheur et de sérénité.
Ainsi, Einstein nous rappelle que parfois, les gestes les plus simples, comme marcher, peuvent nourrir notre esprit et enrichir notre vie.

« Je ne suis pas un éléphant !
