hailuo h3 image oil painting is much better. Prompt: A Caravaggio-style oil painting with stark chiaroscuro against a deep black background. Two elderly fishermen in tattered clothing haul a dripping net up from a wooden boat. Tangled inside is a struggling pelican, its beak and one wing thrust out through the gaps in the mesh. The rope netting binds its body and pulls taut between the men’s hands. One shaft of light from the upper left strikes the pelican’s white plumage and the fishermen’s faces. Thank you guys for the amazing model. @Hailuo_AI, #H3Image @MiniMax_AI
I am so excited to get early access of Hailuo h3 image model. Gave @Hailuo_AI -Image a render of my mech.
Asked for a CAD drawing. Got front/side/top views, hidden-line dashes, centerlines — and labeled parts. 📐
AI just learned drafting class. @Hailuo_AI, #H3Image

Even among Republicans, there is little support for annexing Greenland, seizing Venezuela’s oil, waging a cold war with Canada, cutting off Ukraine, insulting and indiscriminately tariffing allies, fawning over authoritarians, buying diesel from Russia, launching a war on Iran, blowing up alleged drug boats and making lucrative deals abroad that benefit the first family.
It’s just possible that out of the wreckage of the MAGA party will emerge a chastened group of lawmakers who are willing to work with Democrats to reorient U.S. foreign policy in a direction that actually puts America, rather than Trump, first. wapo.st/4BSnqNO
A concerted effort to make the US military a politically partisan organisation.
Combined with contempt for democratic voting and the rule of law, it’s a pattern every American should stand up and take notice of, regardless of whether they identify as conservative or liberal.
This is disgraceful. According to new reporting, Pete Hegseth pulled decorated officers from promotion lists after merit boards had already selected them.
Staff printed out internet searches showing that officers had spoken at a Hispanic Heritage Month event, joined an International Women’s Day panel, or encouraged sailors to get vaccinated.
Those printouts went into files the officers never saw, and they were used to end careers built over decades.
On one Navy board, every woman and person of color who had been selected, except one, was removed.
Every American should want the most qualified leaders in charge of our military, and these men and women earned their stars.
Hegseth must come before Congress, testify under oath, and answer for his decisions.
He has no business hiding while he sabotages careers.

"Encouraged soldiers to get vaccinated" invited retaliation from Hegseth's DoD.

Just checked (because there's so much AI crap). True story!
This is Volodymyr. He is 69. He is deaf. And he rode his bicycle out of an occupied city — all alone.
He couldn’t hear the drones flying overhead. And he rode 60 kilometres in a single day, crossing the “zero line” — on a bicycle.
Volodymyr Voichenko stayed in Polohy after russia occupied the city.
He stayed because he had to care for his sick mother-in-law. And then hell began.
“For several days in a row, russian soldiers came to my house and threatened to shoot me. My dog would sit by the doorstep all the time. They threatened her with a pistol, too. I was terrified,” Volodymyr recalls.
They took everything from his home. The television, computer, appliances, dinnerware, and even his son’s tools from the basement. Everything they could carry — they took it all.
For more than a year, he received no pension. The russians had emptied his bank account.
He lived without gas, water or electricity, eating only what he could grow in his garden. He went to the post office for humanitarian aid, but was turned away.
Then he witnessed something he will never forget. At a destroyed gas station near his home, russian forces had created a mass grave.
“There was a huge KamAZ truck. Two russian soldiers would bring the bodies of people and simply throw them into a common pit. Their faces were all horrifying. After the soldiers left, we would come closer and see the bodies in the pit.”
After his mother-in-law died, he realised he had to escape.
He locked the door, packed his documents and a little food into a backpack, got on his bicycle and set off.
Through occupied villages, across the frontline zone, past burned-out military vehicles and the bodies of soldiers.
He avoided mines. Hid from drones. Near a river where there was no bridge, he spotted russian soldiers and Chechens. He found a plank and used it to get his bicycle across.
At dawn, Ukrainian soldiers stopped him near Orikhiv.
He showed them his deaf person's ID card and passport. They couldn't believe what they were seeing.
“How did you make it through? There are drones flying everywhere, and the whole area is mined.”
One of the soldiers crossed himself and said: “Keep going.”
When Volodymyr finally reached Zaporizhzhia, an interpreter at the local deaf club could hardly believe he had made it all the way there on his own.
They called his son.
“Your father is here.”
Vitalii was in shock.
“How? He’s still under occupation.”
They replied: “No, your father made it through the zero line on a bicycle. We can hardly believe it ourselves.”
Now father and son live together in Kalush.
Volodymyr says it is peaceful there. And Vitalii says he can finally stop worrying so much about his father.

Brand was always a creep and offered vapid political commentary. This was true when he was just as true when he was posing as a left-wing revolutionary as when he became a born-again MAGA right-wing conspiracist. Glad to see his victims getting justice.

Congrats to the morons, edgelords, galaxy brains, defenders of Bo Vichy-French and "Indian Question" indulgers, who helped to make this possible.
HAPPENING NOW: Absolutely chaotic scene as conservative activists Jake Lang and Thomas Allen storm a Diwali Hindu celebration at the Seattle Center Armory.
They held signs that read, "Deport All Dot Heads" and "Stop Hindu Replacement of Christians."
I just spoke to both men who say they are concerned about American culture being overrun by false idol worshippers and H1-B fraudsters.
Lang and Allen say they will be targeting other locations in the city this weekend.
They have yet to announce details of their plans due to possible retaliation by Antifa and other far-left activists.
Stay tuned.

So, let me flag a few things, traitor.
1. "European security architecture" is a phrase the Kremlin uses. We already have one: it's called NATO.
2. You conflate (as you always do) the victim of this war with the aggressor. The aggressor is Russia.
3. "Root causes" is Russian for "do it our way" and you know it.
4. Nothing a word about Russian withdrawal, the occupied territories, POWs or deported children. Weird.
5. Lavrov wrote this for you.
6. Fuck Putin, fuck Russia, and fuck you.
President Trump today advanced an important discussion with several European leaders about the need for a broader European security architecture that can help establish the conditions for lasting peace.
Building on his leadership and the substantive work undertaken this week in Brussels with Ukraine, NATO, and our European partners, @SEPeaceMissions and I wanted to share some of the objectives guiding our ongoing discussions.
For more than 30 years, Europe and Russia have struggled to establish a sustainable security framework. Decades of mistrust, competing security concerns, and the devastating consequences of this war make this an extraordinarily difficult challenge, but one that is essential to lasting peace.
Our objective is to develop practical arrangements that address the security concerns of all sides, reduce the risk of future conflict, and create a more stable and predictable security environment.
We are exploring five principal goals: permanent security consultations, reliable crisis communications, greater military transparency, reciprocal measures to reduce escalation risks, and an enduring framework for long-term European security and stability.
Any arrangements must fully respect the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and independent decision-making of every nation. Each country will retain authority over its own security and alliances, and no country would have a veto over another’s sovereign choices. NATO will remain central to European collective defense, and this initiative would build upon existing institutions and commitments.
We will continue consultations through the Shell Bay format with Ukraine, NATO, the EU, and our European partners, expanding engagement to ensure that all relevant perspectives and ideas are considered. We will also engage Russia as part of the peace negotiations.
Next week in Abu Dhabi, the United States will convene the first trilateral peace discussions with Ukraine and Russia since February. All parties remain intensely engaged in preparing for substantive and productive negotiations. We will consult closely with our European partners on the sidelines and, if progress is made, aim to move toward a broader multilateral format with their direct participation.
These ideas continue to evolve, and we welcome thoughtful input. Creating the right structure will be critical to ending this war and transitioning from conflict toward conditions that make possible a durable peace.
This is difficult, detailed work. There are no easy solutions. But the opportunity to help end this devastating war and build a foundation for a more peaceful, secure, and prosperous Europe for generations to come makes it a challenge well worth undertaking.
We will see how these discussions develop and continue working intensively with all parties toward President Trump’s objective of a comprehensive and lasting peace.

A number of prominent antivaxxers who have risked lives by spreading dangerous misinformation remain free. Russell brand has been jailed because he's a rapist. End of story.

Absolutely nothing whatsoever do with him 10 years later joining the anti vaccine bandwagon for more social media exposure
