by Micaiah Bilger, Treating killing an unborn baby as if it was a
badge of honor, a radical transgender activist said he wants to
have a uterus and ovary transplant in order to become the first
trans-female to have an abortion. On Tuesday, Libs of TikTok, a
social media account that exposes radical leftist extremism, shared
a video of the transgender activist, a biological male, making the
disturbing comment online, according to Live Action News. I
want to be the first trans woman to have a successful uterus
transplant, ovaries and eggs included, and I want to be the first
trans-woman to have an abortion, the activist said in the video.
Likely an attempt to gain attention by shocking his audience, the
unnamed activist went on to say he will have as much gay sex as it
takes with as many trans-women as it takes and let the transphobes
and homophobes scratch their heads wondering what to make of it.
The activist said he wants the uterus and ovaries to come from a
willing, healthy, trans-masculine donor, for whom I will devote
myself heart and soul to their aftercare. His goal is to get
pregnant and become the first transwoman to have an abortion, he
added.

Well, apparently this woman had to try to set her mom straight
because she wants her brothers treated the same way as her.
Read on to see if you think she was out of line.
AITA for telling my mom to treat my brothers the same way I
am?
I (22F) have two brothers for the sake of this post Ill call
them John (18M) and Terry (16M).
My mom (50F) has always had a stronger liking towards both John
and Terry, ever since they were little they could do no harm in her
eyes.
Since I was little I would always get in trouble for everything
John and Terry did, if they hurt each other it was my fault, if
they did something wrong it was my fault etc. My mom always raised
me as a caregiver, I had to basically take care of my little
brothers, I was the one cooking, cleaning, washing and ironing
their clothes, buying them stuff they needed, helping them with
their homework etc.
However, due to me always doing everything for them, they have
become the most useless human beings on the entire earth. They are
almost adults and still wont do their own laundry, wont help with
the cooking, wont clean anything that they made a mess and are just
overall grubs, leaving their dirty tissues and clothes
everywhere.
In popular culture, Japan is home to some very large creatures
like Godzilla and Mothra. If you visit the Diorama Restaurant in Osaka, Japan, you will find
giant cats as well. The charming eatery, which doubles as a cat
shelter, is home to beautiful scale models of landscapes and tiny
towns which appear to be overrun by large felines. As if that
weren't enticing enough, the restaurant also features a miniature
train that goes around the locale, although its rides are rarely
free of incidents. A small camera attached to the train captures
the many ways these trips are interrupted by seemingly
monumental kitties.
It is incredibly entertaining to see the (very-normal-sized)
cats interact with the miniature train as it travels around the
grassy hills of the restaurant. The true magic of the experience,
however, lies in seeing the point-of-view footage of these epic
rides. Sometimes, the train bumps into a sleepy cat who, despite
seeing the convoy coming in, doesn't want to move from its snuggly
spot. Other times, a feline silently prowls the train until an
off-camera force turns it on its side. Since every cat's
personality differs, it adds a layer of adrenaline to each
trip.
Due to the nature of the place, the Diorama Restaurant is
reservation-only. The Diorama Cafeteria is open in three parts,
with lunchtime, tea time, and time spent together, reads their
website. There is no difference in the service contents except for
the contents of the meal each time. Occasionally, a free slot will
open up, so you can check their Twitter to snag a same-day reservation.
If you're too far away from Japan but still want to be up to
date with these giant cats' shenanigans, you can follow the Diorama
Restaurant on...

While many artists are running from AI, digital artist Cy Teh has embraced its creative possibilities. By
blending his digital drawings with AI, he's creating unique
mixed-media artworks that have taken his artistry to a new
level.
As opposed to some creators who have hidden
their use of this technology, Teh is very transparent about his
creative process. Even his Instagram bio says: Digital Artist + AI.
Additionally, all of Teh's posts are accompanied by a caption that
clearly explains that the images are a combination of his
hand-drawn work and AI.
I will keep moving forward and learning the good parts of each
field, the captions continue. I hope to share the fun with you
through this platform. If it offends you. I sincerely apologize to
you here.
Teh's evocative work speaks to the best of AI and the way it can
be used by people to enhance creativity rather than to steal ideas
or fool the public. His haunting portraits of young and old men and
women are mesmerizing, making the viewer wonder what the story is
behind the artwork.
It's these human aspects that take Teh's digital art far beyond
what we're used to seeing with AI. This made us curious to chat
with him about his use of the technology and how it's been received
by the public. Read on for My Modern Met's exclusive interview.
Earth strives to maintain its integrity. Currently, the earth feels
bereft of its integrity, disrespected, and hated. Earth is a living
thing that loves you and provides you with a home. Earth is about
to restore its purity and let you realize how important it is to
love Earth in order to love yourself. Love the earth and yourself
because they are one and the same. We need to be conscious of what
we are doing with our lives because we are not only part of the
earth but also part of the universe. We are made up of atoms that
were created in another galaxy billions of years ago, and now we
live on this planet with other beings like us. We have to take care
of our planet so it can live for many more years. When we love
ourselves and others enough, we will automatically give things back
to Earth and the universe. This means that if we don't love
ourselves or others enough, nothing will change in our lives, even
though we want something different from what is happening now!
Let's start now by loving ourselves and others! Earth is a body
that has been alive for billions of years. It has been through many
changes in order to survive. We are here to experience life on
Earth and learn from her, but we must also protect her. She needs
us now more than ever before because she is under attack from all
sides: from the sun that is burning her skin, from the water that
pulls away the minerals needed for life, destroying everything she
holds dear, and from man himself, who wants only power over nature
for his own selfish gains. All these sources of suffering are
coming closer together today than ever before! Earth has been
working on herself for many years now, but she has not been able to
get all of her healing done because she needed your help. She has
been through so much trauma, pain, and suffering that she cannot
heal herself alone. She needs you to help her heal so that she can
return to her...
This is an opinion editorial by Dea Rezkitha, an Indonesian
Bitcoin educator and podcast host.
In politics, individuals are often grouped into left and right
wings, but the complexities go well beyond this simple dichotomy.
To gain a deeper understanding of peoples beliefs and values, and
ultimately how these will inform their outlook on Bitcoin, it is
crucial to consider their social views as well. This is where a
political compass comes into play, serving as a valuable tool for
analysis.
What Is A Political Compass?
The political compass is a graphical representation of political
ideologies that helps categorize individuals or groups based on
their views on two main axes: economic policy (left-right) and
social policy (authoritarian-libertarian). It provides a more
nuanced understanding of political ideologies beyond the
traditional left-right spectrum.
You can easily take the political compass test at this link.
The political compass allows for a more comprehensive
understanding of political ideologies by incorporating both
economic and social dimensions. It recognizes that political views
cannot be easily reduced to a simple left-right spectrum and
acknowledges the varying degrees of government intervention and
social control that different ideologies advocate for.
The left-right axis reflects a spectrum of economic policy
preferences. On the left side, you find ideologies that generally
advocate for greater government intervention in the economy and
more equitable distribution of wealth and resources. These
ideologies may support policies such as progressive taxation,
social welfare programs and government regulation of industries.
They often prioritize social justice and reducing inequality.
On the right side, you find ideologies that favor less
government intervention in the economy and emphasize individual
freedom and free markets. These ideologies tend to support lower
taxes, limited government regulation and free trade. They believe
that economic prosperity is best achieved through minimal
government interference and individual initiative.
The authoritarian-libertarian axis represents social policy
preferences and the degree of government control over personal
freedoms. Authoritarian ideologies advocate for a strong central
authority that exercises control over various aspects of society.
They may support strict law enforcement, censorship and limitations
on individual rights in the name of maintaining social order and
stability.
Libertarian ideologies, on the other hand, emphasize individual
liberty and limited go...

Is Dogecoin (DOGE losing its charm? Despite the impressive price
rally in May, recent trends suggest a decline in engagement and
investor interest. As the crypto market continues to evolve,
concerns are mounting about the broader implications of Dogecoins
waning appeal.
Dogecoins engagement metrics have faltered, leaving some experts
wondering if the cryptos allure is wearing off. Market indicators
show a decline in trading volume, with fewer transactions taking
place compared to previous months.
Will this once-beloved digital currency be able to regain its
momentum, or is its star beginning to fade?
Dogecoin New Addresses Stagnant
The growth of new addresses joining the Dogecoin community has
hit a roadblock since May, according to a recent DOGE price report.
However, on-chain data analysis reveals that this stagnation in new
holders has not adversely affected the weighted sentiment
associated with the cryptocurrency.
As of the latest update, DOGEs weighted sentiment stands at
-0.645. This metric provides insights into the average sentiment
attached to a particular cryptocurrency, taking into account the
unique social volume surrounding it.
Interestingly, despite the somewhat negative value, the weighted
sentiment has shown improvement from its low point of -1.99 on June
9. This shift suggests that the prevailing defeatist perception
during that period has gradually shifted towards a more optimistic
outlook.
Social Volume And Holder Count: A Diverging
Trend
However, while the weighted sentiment demonstrates a positive
trajectory, the coins social volume tells a different story.
Instead of aligning with the stagnant number of holders, the social
volume of Dogecoin has remained remarkably low since June 9, as per
Santiments data.
Social volume measures the number of mentions and
discussions...
Polygon (MATIC) has demonstrated a significant price surge in
the past week, rising by 27.39%. This bullish momentum has been
further reinforced by a 9.38% increase in the last 24 hours.
However, in the most recent hour, the price experienced a slight
decline of 1.04%. Currently trading at $0.84 per MATIC, the
cryptocurrency remains 71.11% below its all-time high of $2.92.
Reasons For The Price Movement
Multiple factors have contributed to the recent price movement
of the crypto. Firstly, a favorable court ruling for XRP ripple
effect on market sentiment, potentially influencing the performance
of other cryptocurrencies like MATIC. The courts determination that
XRP is not a security has provided investors reassurance and
positively impacted the overall cryptocurrency market.
Furthermore, the increased activity of decentralized
applications (Dapps) on the Polygon Network has significantly
driven up demand for MATIC. The networks reputation as a scalable
and efficient solution for the Ethereum network has attracted
numerous developers and users to build and interact with Dapps on
the platform. This heightened interest in the Polygon Network has
increased demand for MATIC tokens.
Additionally, the highly anticipated launch of Polygon 2.0 has
generated excitement within the community. This proposed upgrade
aims to enhance the functionality and scalability of the Polygon
Network, allowing for the support of multiple chains without
compromising security. If successfully implemented, Polygon 2.0
could further solidify MATICs position as a leading blockchain
solution, potentially attracting more investors and driving higher
prices.
Expectations For Polygon
Looking ahead, Polygon holds promising prospects for further
growth and development. With a total value locked (TVL) of $1
billion on the Polygon Network, the platform has established itself
as a prominent second-layer scaling solution for Ethereum. The
increasing TVL, which has grown from $878 million in the previous
month, indicates...

BNB Chain, the blockchain platform powering the Binance
ecosystem, has recently emerged as a formidable force in the crypto
world, surpassing its competitors in terms of daily active users.
This surge in user engagement has coincided with a surge in the
value of the BNB token, which has experienced a steady increase of
over 5% within a single week.
As BNBs daily active users continue to soar, one cant help but
question the overall impact of this unprecedented growth. What lies
behind BNBs ability to outshine its rivals and attract a growing
user base? Is there a hidden catalyst propelling its value
upwards?
Moreover, as these metrics diverge from the norm, skeptics begin
to raise valid concerns about the sustainability and potential
risks associated with BNBs rise.
BNB Chain Surpasses BTC, ETH In Daily Active
Users
In the ever-evolving landscape of blockchain technology, BNB
Chain has recently achieved a significant milestone, surpassing
renowned chains such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) in terms
of daily user activity. According to a BNB analysis, the chain
secured the second position, solidifying its position as a
formidable player in the crypto world.
Token Terminals data also
revealed that BNB Chain boasts an impressive count of over 1
million daily active users, a testament to the platforms growing
popularity and appeal. This notable achievement is even more
remarkable considering the longstanding dominance of Bitcoin and
Ethereum, which have traditionally held the top positions in the
cryptocurrency market.
The BNB token has also made
waves in the market. Currently priced at $248.78, it experienced a
slight setback with a 3.5% slump in the past 24 hours. However, the
token quickly bounced back with a decent 5.4% increase in the last
week.

AITA for pretending not to recognize my parents when they tried
to reconnect?
I was raised mostly by my uncle and aunt. My older sister
developed a serious illness when I was 6 and my parents decided
that they couldnt care for both of us I guess, so they kind of
unceremoniously dumped me at my grandparents and my uncle took me
in.
Like, didnt even explain to me what was going on, just youre
going to go visit gran for awhile and never picked me back up. My
grandparents and uncle explained it later, and they were pretty
livid at my parents. Ive seen my parents maybe 5 times since then
and not at all for the last 9 years. I decided to stop having
contact with them when I was 12 and since I was the only one
reaching out all communication broke down.

cant have kids so theyve always said Im their miracle kid, I was

them when I turned 18, I wish it had been earlier but there were

Avalanche (AVAX), the native token of the Avalanche blockchain,
has witnessed a notable price surge of 27.39% over the past seven
days, capturing the attention of traders and investors. Currently
facing strong resistance at the EMA50 daily level, AVAX is showing
promising signs of potential bullish momentum. As buyers accumulate
AVAX anticipating a breakout, optimism grows within the market.
As of the latest data, Avalanche is trading at $15.45 per AVAX,
showcasing impressive price growth within the past week. With a
circulating supply of 345,845,505.008 AVAX, the tokens total market
capitalization stands at $5,294,894,681.68. Furthermore, AVAX has
experienced a substantial surge in trading volume, which has
increased by $2,091,996,941.63 in the last 24 hours, marking a
significant 381.96% rise. In the past day, approximately
$547,703,576.77 worth of AVAX has been traded.
AVAX: Strong Resistance And Accumulation
The EMA50 daily level has emerged as a formidable resistance
point for the coin, presenting a considerable challenge for buyers
to overcome. However, buyers increasing accumulation of AVAX
indicates a positive sentiment and a belief in the tokens potential
to breach the resistance level. Traders have noticed similarities
between AVAX and other successful cryptocurrencies, drawing
comparisons that suggest a potentially significant price surge.
Looking at the technical indicators, its relative strength index
is at 65 in the neutral zone between the oversold region of 50 and
the overbought region of 75. The Moving Average
Convergence/Divergence (MACD) is currently in the buy zone which is
a bullish signal. In addition, the histogram bars are green and
signal that a bullish trend is ahead and if the bulls persist, the

When I (17 M) was 8, my parents bought me a piano and signed me
up for lessons. I was super excited because I love music. Over time
I kind of became known as the piano guy at school. I play at school
concerts, accompany the school jazz choir, and play once a week for
the residents at a couple of retirement homes in our town.
When I was 15, I started to talk about quitting lessons, and my
parents quickly tried to guilt me out of it. I told them I wanted
to try other things, and that between piano and studying, I didnt
have much time left for other extra curriculars. My Dad proposed a
deal.
If I kept playing and taking lessons until I reached level 10
RCM (Royal Conservatory of Music), and continued to keep my grades
up at school, he would buy me a new car of my choice. I jumped at
it and we shook hands on the deal.
I should explain that my family is well off financially. I have
a very privileged life, but I wouldnt say Ive been spoiled. If I
ever want a luxury item like a new phone or game console, I have to
buy it myself with money Ive saved from summer and after school
jobs.

By MICHAEL SNYDER, How many people will be sleeping in homeless
shelters, on the streets or in their vehicles where you live
tonight? That is the sort of question that not a lot of us
like to think about. But the truth is that homelessness is
growing at a very rapid pace all over the country right now.
But if you have lots of money, life probably seems pretty good to
you at the moment. You may eat at a different restaurant
every night, and you may be one of the approximately 10 million
Americans that currently own a second home. Our leaders made
the wealthy even wealthier by pumping trillions of dollars into the
system in recent years, but as the cost of living has soared the poor have gotten even poorer and the
middle class has steadily disintegrated. So now the gap
between the wealthy and the rest of the nation is larger than ever,
and that is creating a tremendous amount of tension in our society.
In California, vast hordes of homeless people sleep in the shadows
of multi-million dollar homes every single night. And even though
California has spent a whopping 17.5 billion dollars on
homelessness during the last four years, the homeless population in
the state has just continued to grow
California has spent a stunning
$17.5 billion trying to combat homelessness over just four years.
But, in the same time frame, from 2018 to 2022, the states homeless
population actually grew. Half of all Americans living outside on
the streets, federal data shows, live in California.Across the country, homelessness is on the
rise. But California is adding more homeless people every year than
any other state. More than 170,000 unhoused people now live
here.
Just think about that number for a moment. There are 170,000
homeless people in just one state. And those are the

By Naveen Athrappully, The
number of unsold electric vehicles at dealers in the second quarter
tripled compared to the past year, signaling a weakened demand for
the segment, said a recent report by leading auto-dealer data
company Cox Automotive. In second quarter 2023, the average
inventory for electric vehicles (EVs) topped more than 92,000 units
on the ground at dealer lots, according to the 2023 Cox Automotive
Mid-Year Review presentation. This is up 342 percent compared to
second quarter 2022. During this period, the new EV days supply,
which refers to the average number of days a warehouse holds
inventory before selling it, rose 166 percent, to 92 days from 38.5
days. While the pace of EV sales is up, it is not rising as fast as
inventory builds, said Jonathan Gregory, senior manager, Economic
and Industry Insights. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are
facing a field of dreams moment, he stated. They have built
inventory, and now they wait for buyers to come. This is one of the
hottest topics weve had this year. Brands like Jaguar, Infiniti,
and Lincoln had the highest days of supply, at over 100 days. The
lowest numbers were seen among Toyota, Honda, Kia, and Lexus, with
each brand having less than 30 days of supply.
Tesla continued to dominate the luxury EV segment with a market
share of 25.5 percent, followed by Mercedes at 12.5 percent, BMW at
12.2 percent, and Lexus at 11 percent. Among EVs priced above
$50,000, Ford held the biggest shar...

of the Sun. The Sun represents our unique inner flame. It is the
Divine spark that lives within us that propels us toward our
passions, our purpose, and our joy.
During Leo Season, we are invited to re-spark our inner flames
by remembering our passions and what brings us joy. You may even
naturally find during Leo Season that you are drawn to a new hobby,
reading material, or experience that ignites your soul and gets you
excited about life again.
Leo Season 2023, is particularly noteworthy due to the
increasing number of planets shifting retrograde. When we have
strong retrograde energy, we are invited to look back over the
past, to reconsider things, and to perhaps investigate old issues
we are yet to resolve.
During Leo Season 2022,
Venus and
Chiron will station retrograde, plus Mercury will also slow
down in preparing for its retrograde on the 23rd. In fact, by the
time Leo Season is complete, we will have 6 major cosmic bodies in
retrograde.
Venus Retrograde will definitely be the stand out of the bunch,
and seeing as she is the planet of love and relationships, and Leo
also rules over the heart, we may find ourselves doing a lot of
heart-centered healing work.
As we move into August, Leo Season also brings the activation of
the Lionsgate 88
Portal, a highly charged cosmic portal that works with the
energy of Leo and the star, Sirius.
Lets take a closer look into what Leo Season will bring for each
sign of the zodiac. Remember, you can read for your Sun and
Rising-
As the Sun enters Leo, it feels alive, awakened, and in its
fullest power. The Sun represents our life force energy; it is what
gives our unique glow and independent spark. As the zodiac of
independence, you...
Amidst the blue-chip galleries and renovated brick buildings of
New Yorks Chelsea neighborhood, a newly graduated class of School
of Visual Arts (SVA) MFA students is presenting their thesis work
through Monday, July 17. The Photography, Video and Related Media
department work offers startling perspectives on technology and
human connection, with varying degrees of optimism over the
direction of our tech-addicted society.
The exhibition is staged at SVAs West 26th Street gallery, a
space wedged into the 15th floor of the freshly
remodeled Starrett-Lehigh building. I had to get a
visitor pass from a security guard to walk from the lobby to the
elevator, where I then had to select my floor on an iPad-style
device (which another security guard had to help me figure out).
When I stepped inside the elevator, I realized there were no
buttons, a detail I had never thought about suddenly gave me the
disquieting sense of having no control.

In a long-awaited decision, Judge Torres ruled in favor of XRP
in their case against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) yesterday. The verdict is a positive development for the
cryptocurrency industry, particularly with a focus on whether
digital assets should be deemed securities in the US.
The ruling is expected to set a precedent for the industry
moving forward. It is positive for both altcoins and the wider
industry, as the default expectation is that these assets are not
deemed securities so long as they are made available to the
public.
This event will likely have wider implications for ongoing legal
cases and may help rebuild confidence in the industry for
developers and attract more liquidity to the ecosystem.
XRP Defies Expectations With Massive Price Surge And Trading
Volume Spike
Following the news, XRP saw a surge in price, reaching as high
as $0.93, the highest price since May 2021, and closing at
$0.82.
According to data
compiled by the research company CCData, the news led to an influx
of trading activity, with XRP trading pairs on centralized
exchanges (CEX) recording a total volume of $6.05 billion on the
day, an increase of 1351% from the previous day.
The relisting of the asset on other
centralized exchanges, including Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini has
also contributed to the spike in volumes.
The news surrounding the ruling also led to almost 100% daily
gains for XRP, with other tokens such as Solana (SOL) and Cardano
(ADA), recently deemed securities, seeing significant gains of 35%
and 28%, respectively.
Despite the negative backdrop that XRP has faced due to the
lawsuit, its market depth liquidity at the 1% level has remained
resilient year-to-date (YTD). XRPs 1% bid/ask side depth at Yearly
Open was 26.5 million XRP, which saw a variance of 0.41% throughout
the year and remained strong at 25.1 million XRP on the 12th of
July.
Derivatives Data Shows Positive Sentiment
According to the report, Derivatives data indicate that XRPs
positive funding rate remained steady over the past few days, in
line with the wider positive market sentiment.
The lawsuit news generated a significant rise in speculative
interest on the bid side, with a $280 million increase in Open
Interest, from $635 million to a high of $913 million across
exchanges. Moreover, funding rates reached over 0.03% across
exchanges, over three times higher than its baseline level of under
0.01% before the announcement.
On the other hand, the funding rate history of XRP shows that
speculators trading perpetual contracts have been favoring the
upside, with minimal time......

It is well known that cats love to make biscuits by kneading
into a soft surface. But for one cat named Elodie, this also means
helping a friend feel better. In a video captured by
the staff of Sunshine Animal Refuge Agadir (SARA) in
Morocco, the kitty can be seen giving Tam, a blind dog with
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a loving massage.
Tam has lived at the shelter for nine years. During his time
there, he has developed a unique friendship with the felines living
there. Every day we witness beautiful connections between our
residents, the shelter writes. They graciously gift him with
moments of gentle care and unwavering affection.
Tam regularly shares his bed with at least two cats, Hazel
Skeet, a volunteer at SARA, told The Dodo. All the cats
adore him and give him cuddles and massages. Due to his condition,
Tam could use all the love he can get. The Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
makes the lovable dogs skin extra fragile and his joints prone to
arthritis.
Tam lives at the shelter with his sister, Daccia, who shares the
same condition. Still, that doesn't stop them from playing together
and enjoying a laid back life with their friends. He spends the
rest of his day sitting in the sun or shade, taking in the sounds
and smells of the refuge, Skeet says. Occasionally, he will have a
young puppy coming up to say hello, which he tolerates, but he
mostly prefers to curl up with a cat friend.
While his condition makes him wary of strangers at first, Tam is
known for showing his love once he feels comfortable. It takes a
while to earn his trust, bu...

Dancing is, by nature, an intricate discipline that requires
grace and precision. As if it weren't complex enough on the ground,
can you imagine executing it flawlessly underwater? This is exactly
what Jaydeep Gohil, also known as Hydroman, does. Playing with the buoyancy of water, he
creates elaborate underwater routines displaying his incredible
skill and body control. As a result, his videos are almost
hypnotic.
One of his videos, titled The Inventor, quickly went viral on
Reddit and Instagram for the sheer display of talent it features.
In it, Gohil first seems to walk up an invisible staircase before
showing off some dance moves and floating at the pretend top. He
then does something even more bewildering. He begins walking
upwards and goes in a clockwise motion to make a full circle in the
water, as if his legs were the clock hands. In the end, he simply
poses as if about to take a bow.
On top of the creativity behind the choreography, bringing it to
life with such perfection takes different skills. Not only does he
have to control every part of his body down to the detail, such as
his hands and his feet, but he also likely has to hold an exact
amount of air in his lungs to only float up to a certain level.
Gohil has also recreated Michael Jackson's famous moonwalk, doing so on a submerged pool table,
and also upside down below the surface. He has also addressed the
challenges of dancing underwater with a funny video. He depicts his...

No one can fault the Brooklyn Museums Its Pablo-Matic:
Picasso According to Hannah Gadsby for attempting to
showcase a narrative of Picassos legacy that centers feminist
artists, but the exhibition has rightly drawn
criticism for its lack of critical engagement with the
aesthetic contributions of the women artists it brandishes and
their tenuous links with Pablo Picassos corpus. The show, albeit
lazy in its framing, raises important questions, especially those
pertaining to the roles of public museums and their
(de)construction of art historical canons. Instead of foregrounding
Picasso, the show might have more effectively achieved its goal by
focusing on the specific contributions of feminist artists like
Betye Saar, Mickalene Thomas, and Marisol Escobar, among other
pioneers in modern and contemporary art, on their own terms. Upon
viewing the exhibition it became clear that an aesthetic
association with Picasso does not bind these artists. What would an
exhibition that critically engaged Picassos Modernist forms and
those of his global interlocutors look like? If, as Edward Said
suggested in the 90s, one must read contrapuntally to revise the
Western canons repressed foundations of colonialism in other words,

In a significant turn of events, large cryptocurrency exchanges
Coinbase, Kraken, Bitstamp, and Gemini announced their decision to
relist XRP after a significant legal victory for Ripple against the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
This momentous decision comes as a result of the exchanges
reevaluating their previous delisting of XRP, showcasing a renewed
confidence in the tokens regulatory standing. This was
brought about by the recent landmark court ruling by Judge Analisa
Torres.
Coinbase, Kraken, And Bitstamp Reinstate XRP Trading
Coinbase, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, wasted no time in
announcing the resumption of XRP trading following the court
ruling. Brian Armstrong, the CEO of Coinbase, expressed the
exchanges decision in a tweet, stating:
Coinbase will re-enable trading for XRP (XRP) on the XRP
network. Do not send this asset over other networks or your funds
may be lost. Transfers for this asset remain available on @Coinbase
& @CoinbaseExch.
The reinstatement of the digital asset on Coinbases platform
marks a significant shift in their position after delisting the
token in January 2021. Kraken, another prominent exchange, also
confirmed its plans to reinstate trading for the cryptocurrency, as
Marco Santori, Kraken Legal Officer tweeted stated:
1/ This morning, the Federal Court for the Southern District of
New York ruled that XRP is not a security. As such, just a few
minutes ago, Kraken re-enabled trading in XRP for US
users.
Bitstamp, an early adopter of XRP, joined the bandwagon,
emphasizing its role as a leading liquidity venue for the asset
globally as it confirms the return of the token on its exchange for US
users.
Ripples Legal Battle And Market Impact
The court ruling stems from the SECs lawsuit against Ripple,
which accused the company of conducting an unregistered securities
offering through the sale and distribution of XRP.
Ripple chose to fight the lawsuit, investing substantial
resources into the legal proceedings. The outcome of this case
carries significant weight for the cryptocurrency industry, as it
determines the regulatory oversight faced by digital asset
firms.
Although Judge Torres recent summary judgment concluded that
while Ripples initial sale of XRP to institutional investors could
be classified as a securities offering, the subsequent trading of
the tokens on crypto excha...
It's easy for arm chair
quarterbacks to make hasty generalizations about acts of the past,
but you weren't there to experience the horror and fear of what an
enemy can do you to your family and friends. You weren't there to
experience the terror of knowing there's a war going on that's
killing millions while your sons and fathers are overseas fighting
an evil and concerted effort by the Axis Forces ot Communists who
specialized in such sadistic cruelty that it is almost
unmentionable yet you would criticize the liberators who could have
destroyed the capital cities of the enemy and suppressed them
forever rather than rebuild them into functioning societies again
when our enemies would never have allowed America, Great Britiain,
or Europe to return to normalcy or recover economically without
draconian control. This is yet another sad example of human nature
and how we forget the lessons of history. The greatest generals
such as MacArthur and Patton used maximum force to attain victory
as soon as possible to stop the bloodshed against the suicidal
efforts of our fanantical enemies. This is a fact that Supreme
Commander, Ike Eisenhower expressed when he ordered his combat
journalists to capture the horrid concentration camps in Germany on
film, "Because 50 years from now some bastard is going to say that
this all never happened!" It goes on in Germany as in Japan, the
denial of the atrocities they committed against helpless citizens
much less the POW's they mowed down with machine gun fire to this
very day. Just remember, you are not so high and mighty nor are you
in the moral high ground that you arer qualified to even pass
judgment.

On-chain data shows a PEPE whale has made a large deposit to
Binance, something that could provide an impedance to the meme
coins rally.
PEPE Whale Has Deposited $7.2 Million To Binance
According to data from the cryptocurrency transaction tracker
service Whale Alert, a massive PEPE
transfer has occurred on the Ethereum blockchain during the past
day.
The transaction in question involved the movement of 3.94
trillion PEPE, which was worth almost $7.2 million at the time the
transfer went through on the network.
Generally, only the whale entities are capable of
making such large moves, so its reasonable to assume that a whale
investor would have been behind this transfer.
Due to the massive amount of capital involved in transactions of
these humongous investors, they can sometimes cause noticeable
fluctuations in the price of the asset.
As such, the movements of the whales can be something to watch
out for. How such transfers may affect the market, though, depends
on the exact intent the investor had behind it.
Here are some additional details regarding the relevant PEPE
whale transfer, which may shed some light on what the whale wanted
to achieve with the move:
As you can see above, the sending address in the case of this
PEPE transfer is an unknown wallet, meaning that its an address
unattached to any known centralized platform, making it likely that
its the personal wallet of an investor.
The receiving address, on the other hand, looks to be a wallet
affiliated with a centralized platform. More specifically, this
address is connected to the cryptocurrency exchange Binance.

wallets to exchanges are called ...

Four hardy plants soar toward the Mumbai skyline in a new series
of murals by Swiss artist Mona Caron (previously). Known for her stunning portrayals of
weeds and botanicals thought of as ugly or undesirable, Caron
celebrates the resilient specimens native to India that are often
found poking through the concrete and along dusty roadsides.
Taking its title from the name of the vegetation, Kurdu,
Takla, Chhota Kalpa, Kantakari brings together four medicinal
plants that burst through the urban environment despite the harsh
conditions. Unflinching, Kurdu wont even bother to pick a sheltered
spot. No matter how destroyed the terrain, right in everyones way,
like a cow ambling across a busy Mumbai street, it gently floats
the sacred into the midst of our daily chaos, mostly skirted
unnoticed, Caron shares.
The works celebrate this strength and determination and advocate
for recognizing their worth. It takes closeness to the earth to
harvest its blessings; it takes traditional knowledge to know the
best way to. Lets honor this wisdom which persists at the
grassroots of this bursting metropolis, against all pressures to
uproot, she says.

The most
famous artist of all time is a difficult question for anyone to
pinpoint. Today, many people might say Vincent van
Gogh, Claude Monet,
or Frida
Kahlo. However, just a couple of decades ago, people might have
given different answers. In a similar fashion, the name
William-Adolphe Bouguereau may not be familiar to
many these days, but in the later 19th century, he was one of the
most beloved painters around.
Born and trained in France, Bouguereau was an upholder of the
French academic style. His talent for creating beautiful, idealized
worlds made him a popular artist among wealthy patrons, and his
dedication to traditional approaches kept him a favorite in the
prestigious Salon for his entire life. He also worked parallel to
the Impressionists, who sought to subvert the values he displayed
in his polished pictures. But while Bouguereau's fame faded after
his death, the Impressionists rose upshowing how quickly artistic
tastes can change.
Here, we will learn more about Bouguereau's art and why the
Impressionists fought against it.

XRP has observed a massive 67% rally during the past 24 hours.
Here are some facts on-chain data reveals about this price
surge.
Several Indicators Have Surged Following The XRP Rally
In its latest insight post, the on-chain analytics firm Santiment has looked
into the underlying metrics related to XRP as the cryptocurrency
has seen an extremely sharp surge during the last day.
This rapid growth in the assets value has come following
Ripples victory in court as XRP
has been declared not a security. Immediately after the
announcement, the coin had managed to rise by around 90%, but in
the hours since then, the asset has taken some hit.
Nonetheless, the cryptocurrency has still managed to hold onto
the majority of its gains so far, as its still up 67%. This rise
has now made the asset the fourth largest in the space in terms of
market cap, as it has leapfrogged past BNB.
Following the rally, the social dominance of XRP saw a
sharp surge toward the 7.4% mark, as the below chart displays.
Social dominance measures how the discussions on social media
related to any given coin (which, in this case, is XRP) compare
against the combined amount of talk the top 100 assets by market
cap are receiving currently.
At the current value of the metric, 7.4% of all discussions
related to these top 100 coins are coming from XRP alone. Such a
high amount of interest among social media users is generally a
sign of euphoria, which usually leads to a correction in the price.
This may explain why the asset has taken a hit since the initial
jump.
In terms of whale activity, the network has naturally been
active during this surge, as these humongous investors have made a
large number of transactions, as shown below.
This thread will be the "one-stop-shop" so to speak on the topic
of Russia, Iran, the USA, our involvement, and the middle east as
it continues to become the center stage in the world. Of course,
Afghanistan, China, N. Korea, and even Venezuela or other nations
currently not on our best friend's list are also suitable to
discuss for their relevance.

An early-summer, late-afternoon light was
catching a porcelain figurine of the Virgin Mary and Baby Jesus on
the windowsill of Johnnies Italian Specialties, the
twenty-eight-year-old family-owned restaurant in South Philly
where, in May, I dialed up my personal hotspot, hoping to get
tickets to the Taylor Swift concert taking place in the city later
that night. My cheesesteak sub was dry and insufficiently cheesy
and entirely beside the pointit was a formality, if a regionally
appropriate one, meant to justify my seat at this funky restaurant
as my sister and I refreshed four different ticket resale websites
waiting for prices to drop. We were not two of the lucky 2.4
million who had gotten tickets to the Eras Tour when theyd gone on
sale several months earlier, in a rollout so vexed and disorderly
it caused an investigation by the U.S. Justice Department into
antitrust violations by Ticketmaster and Live Nation.
At first, this didnt bother me. I do not have
the patience to wait in something called a virtual queue, and also
I have a job. So Id resigned myself to the fact that I would not be
attending the Eras Tour, Swifts 131-show survey of her ten studio
albumswhich I suppose we now call eras and not albumsand the
logical, world-beating end point of her willful evolution from
gee-whiz country darling to too-big-to-fail pop supernova. But
then, in March, the Eras Tour commenced, and for several weeks
thereafter my Twitter feed was overrun with clips from the show,
which runs close to three and a half hours, includes forty-four
songs, and is structured episodically as a Homeric celebration of
Swifts discography. It looked like the sort of thing Id regret
missing, the premise of a memory I could tell my kids or at least
my friends kids about.

Its time to take the global progressive elites at their word
when they say everything is about to change: the economy, society,
where we live, how we live, how we work EVERYTHING. Called the
Fourth Industrial Revolution, this societal transformation is at
our doorstep. But the only people making plans for things like AI,
quantum computing, the Metaverse, central bank digital currencies,
automation, and so much more are the ones sitting in Davos at the
World Economic Forum and theyre redesigning society based on it. In
this episode, Glenn gives an inside look into how all these
technologies will turn the Great Reset into a terrifying dystopian
Great Narrative of central control, mass surveillance, and a lack
of liberty and freedom that we have never experienced before. Its
the focus of his newly released book, Dark Future: Uncovering the
Great Resets Terrifying Next Phase. Glenn gives you a preview of
what youll find in the book: whats coming, what they are designing,
and how you can prepare.

XRP, the token behind the Ripple payment network, has been on an
absolute monster rally in the last day. The token has seen a 65%
price surge that propelled it into the number 4 spot in the crypto
rankings, pushing BNB down to 5th place, even though BNB on the
other hand, is also up by 9% in the past week.
XRP Overtakes BNB
XRP recently overtook BNB after reaching a yearly high of
$0.81, giving the cryptocurrency a market cap of $41 billion. The
huge price spike can be attributed to investors jumping on the
bandwagon with fear of missing out on XRP after the big news
regarding its victory over the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC).
The court determined on June 13 that the sale of XRP to regular
investors does not constitute the sale of an unregistered security.
As such, United States District Judge Analisa Torres ruled in
partial favor of Ripple, saying that XRP sales on public
cryptocurrency exchanges were not offers of securities under the
law.
However, the judge remarked that Ripples direct sale of XRP to
institutional investors in the amount of approximately $700 million
violated federal legislation regarding the sale of securities.
This catapulted XRPs price from $0.478 to $0.7885 in just under
a day. With its current market cap, this means XRP is now the
third-largest native cryptocurrency behind Bitcoin and Ethereum
when the USDT stablecoin is removed.
24-Hour Trading Volume Spikes 1700%+
According to data from Coinmarketcap, XRPs 24-hour trading
volume has spiked a whopping 1,758.13% to over $13.49 billion.
Trading volumes have surged on various exchanges, where Upbit, the
South Korean-based crypto exchange, had over $2.7 billion in
24-hour trading volume. Binance also saw over $2.3 billion in
trading volume as investors scurried to buy XRP.
Coinglass data shows more than $35 million short position
trades on XRP have been liquidated in the past 24 hours. Most of
these are from Bybit, OKX, and Binance, with $21 million, $14
million, and $14 million in short position liquidations,
respectively.
Of course, fast price rises often end in pullbacks as XRP
remains a volatile digital asset. But its recent breakout shows its
still an altcoin to watch, with the potential for even bigger gains
if more investors continue to FOMO. However, XRPs potential for
long-term growth continues to be supported by Ripple Labs

Pter Esterhzy once wrote that Pter Zilahy is
the white raven of Hungarian literature who can observe the world
each time as if for the first time, always fresh and original.
While its labeled a novel,The Last

uncategorizable, a hippogriff of a creation fashioned from
fragments of history, autobiography, and wild invention. How such a
wealth of elementsfrom childhood memories to political atrocities
to the poignant evocation of the correspondence between sexual
awakening and the deaths of dictatorscould be gathered and spun
into such a coherent narrative is a kind of aesthetic
miracle.
Zilahy uses the Hungarian alphabet to present
a wonderful mix of historical facts, poetry, and visual images, an
approach inspired by the time he spent in Belgrade in 1996, when
citizens took to the streets to protest Slobodan Miloevis electoral
fraud.The Last

ability to shrink an entire historical epoch to human scale while
at the same time elevating ordinary experience to mythic

executed with wit and compassion. Zilahy can murder a sacred cow

sentence.

Paprika, with its vibrant flavor and bold color, has managed to
make a significant impact on world cuisine. From Spanish paella to
Hungarian goulash, to the intriguing paprika tea, this beloved
spice has found its way into an impressive array of dishes. But
surprisingly, a substantial number of people are still in the dark
about the origins and making of this versatile spice.
Recent discussions on social media platforms suggest that many
still believe that paprika comes from a unique plant, rather than
the peppers we commonly see in the grocery store. To set the record
straight and enhance your knowledge about this popular seasoning,
this article delves into the process of making paprika, its
variants, and the numerous health benefits it offers.
Learning that Paprika is just dried and
crushed red bell peppers was really shocking. Like I dunno why I

French street artistNerone has created the UK's largest
clean-air mural in Southampton. Painted on The Bulb, a new hub for
the STEM community, the piece shows a woman covered in colorful
flowers. And best of all, the nearly 11,000-square-foot mural is
not only aesthetically pleasing but also environmentally
friendly.
To create his masterpiece, Nerone used Graphenstone
CO2-absorbing paint. The lime-based paint naturally absorbs CO2 as
it cures, and Nerone estimates that it will pull about 145 pounds
of carbon dioxide from the air annually. That's the equivalent of
about three mature trees.
In terms of the subject matter, the piece is a continuation of
other portraits Nerone has painted. It features his fiance Frankie,
who has also appeared in his murals in South Korea, Colombia,
France, and Turkey. This is the second time she's appeared in a
mural in the UK, as Nerone also used her as his muse for a mural in
London.
Covered in colorful flowers, she brightens up the environment
and transforms this concrete office building into a joyful site. It
was important for Nerone to add some color to the space, as the
building is clearly visible from nearby Southampton station.
It took 17 days for the French artist and a team from Lawless
Studios to complete the piece. The community was also highly
involved, thanks to a series of community events and workshops that
ran concurrently. And while it was hard work, Nerone is pleased
with the outcome.
It would be amazing that people realize we can do beautiful
things, Nerone says, bringing a positive message while we preserve
and improve our environment.

mural in Southampton, UK.

It's been a while since the last editorial (time
is a precious commodity these days), but this week I felt the need
to write one. The reason: devastating news for editorial cartooning
from across the pond as three Pulitzer-winning cartoonists let go
in one shocking day. Jack Ohman of the Sacramento Bee, Joel Pett of
the Lexington Herald-Leader and Kevin Siers of the Charlotte
Observer were all let go as the parent company of these newspapers,
McClatchy, has decided it will no longer run daily opinion
cartoons.
You can read all the details in
this article in the Washington Post. Ohman called the event
'another brick in the wall', and I can't help but agree. The last
few years have seen many troubling developments that all point in
just one direction: the demise of political cartooning. A short
recap:
-In 222, the Pulitzer Prize decided to
change the name of the category Editorial cartoons to
Illustrated Reporting and Commentary.
-Also in 2022, Gannett , a large US newspaper company with 250
titles decided that the time for a traditional editorial page (the
home of the political cartoon) has
come and gone.
-In 2023, World Press cartoon announced it
wasn't able to organize the prize, due to lack of funding.
This list probably isn't complete, but it already paints a dire
picture for the profession. And although it's mostly centers on the
US, I fear American cartoonists might be at the forefront of
developments that will hit us all. I firmly believe public appetite

I think Ive learned a lot from having 4 very different kids, and
I think too many parents 1. Think the same strategies work for all
kids (ie, rule-consequence-behavior falls in line, rinse and
repeat) and 2. Focus on the behavior rather than the cause.
If you have a kid who doesnt respond to your parenting
style/philosophy, you should rethink your approach. Its not all the
kids fault.
Some kids will burn their lives to the ground to make a point. I
have one like that. For too long, it was a vicious cycle of
kid acts out
I punish
kid is angry, acts out more
I punish harder
kid is angrier, acts out even more
I punish even harder
and on and on and on and on. Something needs to break the
cycle.
For instance, if your kid is challenging your authority, its
usually a bid for more independence. Theyre trying to be more
mature, and they want your adult respect....

The last 24 hours have been more than interesting for
crypto investors across the globe. Thursday, July 13, saw one of
the most important lawsuits in the history of the industry come to
an end, and the ruling in favor of Ripple triggered a massive
rally. As digital assets across the space recorded double-digit
gains, liquidation volumes climbed quickly, now clocking over $300
million.
Crypto Short Traders Take Big Losses
The high volumes of crypto liquidations in the market
so far have been a result of price recovery. As such, the vast
majority of traders who have been losing money have been short
traders, that is, traders who were betting on prices falling rather
than recovering.
According to data from Coinglass, out of the over $300 million in
liquidations, short traders made up for a total of $219 million. On
the flip side, the volume from long traders was much lower, coming
in at only $82.74 million for the same 24-hour period. This means
that short traders made up 70.33% of all liquidations during this
time, as long traders made the most money.
Furthermore, over 86,000 traders saw their positions
liquidated on the last day, but the single largest liquidation
happened on the Bitmex exchange. This position was worth $2.82
million at the time of liquidation, taking place across the XRPUSD
pair on the exchange.
As expected, Bitcoin led the liquidation volumes
during this time, but interestingly, Ethereum was not the
second-highest volume as it usually is. That title was claimed by
XRP traders this time around with a total of $62.17 million
liquidated in 24 hours.
In the late 1700s, a romantic trend swept through wealthy
families in England, Europe, and even America. Called lover's eyes,
or eye miniatures, these small paintings were commissioned to
depict the eye or eyes of spouses, loved ones, and children. While
during the Georgian period (1700s to early 1800s) they were worn as
accessories like bracelets and pendants, contemporary artist
Susannah Carson is reimagining this art form.
She adds delicate paintings of eyes and faces to vintage
plates.
Each of these depictions is rendered in a style that evokes the
original tradition. Human gazes appear in the center of these
dishes, staring at the viewer calmly and directly. The form of the
dish even acts as a frame, bordering Carson's handiwork with
decorative patterns. This combination of materials enhances the
nostalgia of these paintings, making them all the more precious to
look at and display.
Im interested in painting as not just an optical illusion, but
as an illusion of lifeof otherness, of richness, of engagement, of
that delicate connection we have with other beings which allows us
to feel, for a moment, not so alone, she says. With compositions
highlighting the gaze, these subjects tell us their stories with a
single look and ask for us to tell them our stories in return,
thereby creatingunlike the alienation of much modern arta welcoming
intimacy.

latest work by following her on Instagram.

The liver is the second largest organ in
the body, responsible for a variety of essential tasks
that maintain our overall health. It processes the foods and drinks
we consume and filters out harmful substances from the bloodstream.
However, our modern lifestyles often subject our bodies, and
particularly our liver, to an excess of chemicals and toxins. This
overburdening can lead to a sluggish liver function and an array of
health problems, including weight gain and Fatty Liver Disease. Its
therefore crucial to understand the warning signs that your liver
is full of toxins, and the steps you can take to rejuvenate this
vital organ.
The Function of the Liver in Detail
Our liver, one of the most crucial organs in the body, performs
an array of roles that are vital to our survival and well-being.
products that can be eliminated from the body through feces and
urine.
However, in an environment replete with various chemicals and
toxins, the livers workload can become overwhelming, leading to a
decline in its functionality. This can trigger a cascade of health
problems, one of which is Fatty Liver Disease.
In a healthy liver, fat accounts for only a small portion of its
total weight. However, when the fat content rises to
5-10%, this is often an indication of Fatty Liver Disease. This
condition can be subdivided into two types: Alcoholic, caused by
excessive alcohol intake, and Non-Alcoholic, which can be a result
of high cholesterol levels or genetic factors.

The crypto market continues to exhibit dynamic shifts as
Polygons native token, MATIC, outpaces Litecoin (LTC) in the global
rankings to secure the 10th spot. This move comes after MATIC experienced a surge of
nearly 30% over the past week.
Resurgence Amid Crypto Rally
The general upswing in the crypto market in the past week has
presented opportunities for numerous cryptocurrencies to make
significant strides. Polygon (MATIC), for one, has
capitalized on this trend, breaking through multiple resistance
levels to claim the 10th position in the global crypto market,
thereby leaving Litecoin (LTC) trailing behind.
The assets surge, which saw MATIC price climbing from a low
of $0.67 last Friday to a high of $0.88 yesterday before retracting
to $0.84 at the time of writing, marks a nearly 30% increase in the
past 7 days.
The surge also signals MATICs resilience, given that it comes
just a month after the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) classified it as a security, triggering a drastic
dip in its value. This move by the SEC made MATIC dwell in a
bloodbath for a week to trade below the $0.6 mark.
MATIC Road To Recovery
MATICs
recovery, however, has been somewhat fascinating. Over the past 24
hours, MATIC has rallied by nearly 10%, exhibiting a strong upward
trajectory. Interestingly, this rally mirrors the movements of
several notable altcoins in the market, indicating a wider market
recovery trend.
Despite the initial setback following the SECs
classification, MATIC has demonstrated a
comeback. Its rebound not only highlights the resilience of the
asset but also underscores its growing popularity among investors,
which can be attributed to the increasing interest in the Polygon
platform, known for its scalability solutions for Ethereum
transactions.
MATIC
has witnessed a dramatic rise in its market capitalization over the
past week, marking a nearly $2 billion increase. The digital asset,
starting from a valuation of $6.2 billion last F...
