Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly telling allies there will be no new strikes on Iran, for now. Instead, the U.S. is turning up the pressure with hard-hitting sanctions, as there is new tension surrounding the Strait of Hormuz. @TreyYingst reports the waterway is partially open, but President Trump is again turning up the pressure on Iran to keep it safe. @foxandfriends

Tadasuke Makino explains he didn't have the pace required to go for the win today. Yesterday was frustrating, but he wants to work together with his engineer Kimitoshi Sugisaki to improve. It sounds like following yesterday's high tension, things are patched up again. #SFormula#

Seedance 2.5 Emotional Acting Test | Expression Shift + Micro-Emotion 🎬 Made this 8s emotional close-up with Seedance 2.5. No explosions. No complex camera moves. Just one face carrying the whole scene. Prompt👇 Close-up of an emotional monologue. The woman in @image_1 sits at a wooden dining table in the dimly lit, warm wooden kitchen of @image_2—wooden cabinets, deeply blurred bowls, plates, and storage shelves behind her, night outside the window. There are no visible light sources in the frame—no chandeliers, lamps, lighting equipment, or fixtures—only the light itself and how it falls on her face are visible; all light sources are outside the frame. The entire film is shot in a single, continuous long take, without any editing, transitions, or camera changes—the same uninterrupted camera from beginning to end. She remains silent throughout, not uttering a single word—the entire emotion is conveyed solely through facial expressions and eye contact. All emotions shift rapidly, quickly transitioning from one to the next, each stage brief—the performance swiftly glides through each emotional phase in a tight rhythm. Camera: The camera position is fixed in place, but it presents the texture of handheld shooting—vivid handheld tremors, slight shaking and vibrations, the lens drifting almost imperceptibly left and right, breathing with the scene. The camera consistently focuses on her face, a close-up, keeping her centered and within the frame—only the subtle hand-held movement around her creates tension. This trembling, intimate feel builds tension, amplifying the emotional outburst. The light moves in circles around her, an invisible beam smoothly circling her along its trajectory, the illumination shifting with each stage: Stage 1 (Fast) – Suppressing bitterness. Her gaze is lowered, tears welling, her lower lip trembling, her chin furrowed, her breathing labored, her lips pressed tightly together. Lighting: Directly facing her, illuminating her entire face evenly and softly from the front, warm spots of light falling on her face, the surrounding background fading into warm darkness. Stage 2 (Fast) – Tears. Tears stream down her cheeks, she abruptly looks up, blinking to force the tears back, quickly wiping her eyes with the back of her hand, her eyes bright and red. Lighting: Shifts to her right side—now only the right half of her face is illuminated, the left half sinking into shadow, a soft, flowing shadow spreading across her face. Stage 3 (Fast) – A burst of laughter. A silent, hysterical laugh bursts forth through her tears, a mixture of sobs and laughter, her head shaking, her expression shifting from pain to relief. The lighting: continues to move behind her—her entire face sinks into shadow, the light coming from behind, the harsh backlight outlining her head with bright edges, illuminating her ears, cheekbones, and wispy strands of hair, leaving her face mostly dark, almost a silhouette with luminous edges. Fourth Stage (Climax)—Breakdown and Relief. She slams her hand on the table—the instant she strikes, the light suddenly blazes, illuminating her entire body. The lighting during the table slam: a strong, direct beam of light shines directly on her, bright, even light flooding in from all sides, clearly overexposed, shadows disappear, her face completely exposed and submerged in light. She then leans back in her chair, arms crossed, exhales a short breath, her eyes resolute, relieved. Fifth Stage (Ending)—The light shifts to candlelight. Lighting: Everything goes dark, leaving only the warm, flickering candlelight from off-screen sources (the candles themselves and any other light fixtures are not in the frame)—the warm, dancing light moves and flickers across faces, casting deep, soft shadows, with points of light dancing in the eyes. The lighting changes rapidly, but always smoothly—not abrupt cuts, nor flashes (except for the sudden, intense flash when the table is slammed), but rather the light source moves smoothly in circles, allowing the eye time to clearly see and understand each type of light before it transitions to the next; the intensity increases layer by layer with each stage. All of this happens without a single cut or splicing, within the same continuous long take: only the lighting changes, the camera remains vibrant and continuous. Close-up shots, anamorphic widescreen lenses, oval bokeh, shallow depth of field, no lens flare, no horizontal flare, no lens flare. Slight film grain, cinematic color grading. 8K. Audio: No music, no dialogue, only sound effects—intermittent breathing, sobbing, sniffling, a silent, nervous laugh with a breathy sound, the sound of slamming a table, the creaking of a chair, and slight crackling sounds.

Reportedly, the world's fastest high-DoF hand has been developed by LinkerBot, which also featured at the World Humanoid Robot Games finals. The Linker Hand L30 is a tendon-driven robot hand with 22 degrees of freedom, 18 of them actively driven and 4 passive. The company pitches it for research, medical assistance and precision industrial assembly. Cables act as tendons to pull the finger joints, the way tendons move a human hand. LinkerBot pairs them with high-resolution encoders and tendon-tension control, which it says gives the hand ±0.2 mm repeatability. Speed: full open or close in 0.2 s, finger flexion up to 363.6°/s, thumb flexion up to 450.35°/s Force: 9 N at each fingertip, 6.5 N at the thumb, 39 N five-finger grip, 15 kg maximum load Sensing: tactile sensor arrays in the fingertips Integration: CAN FD and Mini-USB, 500 Hz communication, 24 V DC, 1,192 g LinkerBot also makes the O6, a smaller linkage-driven hand with 6 active degrees of freedom, a 70 N grip and a listed weight of 360 g. Beijing-based LinkerBot closed a Series B+ round in April at a reported $3 billion valuation.

Social Engineering Kids: How the US Turns Ukraine Against Russia and Taiwan Against China In Ukraine, children as young as five are growing up with books like Larisa Nitsoy’s Invincible Ants. It tells a simple story: hardworking ants live peacefully until neighboring ant-lions, who claimed to be brothers, suddenly attack and destroy their home. The ants fight back, suffer losses, show courage, and finally win. The book became a national bestseller and won prizes. It is presented as a way to explain the war to young kids. This is not just a children’s story. It is careful social engineering. From an early age, children learn that the neighbor who spoke of brotherhood cannot be trusted and must be driven out. After 2022, Russian language and literature disappeared from school programs. History lessons started treating the Soviet years as pure oppression and added ideas like “ruscism.” Russian books were removed from many libraries. The goal is clear: raise a generation that sees Russians not as people with a shared past, language, and family ties, but as permanent enemies. That kind of lasting hostility is useful if you want a reliable proxy. The same method has been used in Taiwan for years. History books once presented the island as part of a longer Chinese civilization. Over time they shifted. Taiwanese history became the center. Chinese history was shortened, pushed to the side, or mixed into broader Asian and world stories. Classical Chinese texts were cut back. The connection to the mainland was made to look distant or even threatening. Officially this was about building a separate identity. In practice it creates distance and suspicion toward the larger neighbor — exactly what you need if you want a territory to stay a permanent point of tension. Both cases follow the same American pattern of divide and conquer. Change what children learn so the “other” side looks foreign and dangerous, while the local side looks like the pure victim and hero. Ukraine was shaped into an anti-Russia tool after 2014 and especially after 2022. Taiwan has long been treated as an anti-China tool. Young minds take in these stories before they can think about the real shared history — East Slavic roots and Orthodox traditions in one case, deep civilizational links in the other. The ant story works so well because it is simple, emotional, and easy for small children to remember. No complicated facts needed. After watching these games for decades, the pattern is obvious. Create lasting hatred or separation in the next generation and you guarantee ongoing conflict, dependence on outside sponsors, and refusal of any practical peace based on history or common sense. Russia and China are the real targets. The proxies are just tools that can be used and discarded. These “invincible” children’s books and rewritten school lessons are not mainly about protecting kids from hard truths. They are about making sure the fear and division last longer than today’s politicians. Stay informed. Do not just accept the pretty packaging.

DeepMind's CEO wants a referee for frontier AI Demis Hassabis (@demishassabis) is calling for a new standards body to vet frontier AI models before release, modeled on Wall Street's FINRA. Government-backed, industry-funded, run independently. Labs would share models up to 30 days before launch, voluntary at first, then required to pass to deploy in the US. It would replace the ad hoc reviews of Anthropic's Mythos and OpenAI's Sol that drew fire for opaque, non-expert calls. But a self-regulator funded by the labs it polices carries obvious tension, and the White House's own AI advisor recently said there "will not be an FDA for AI." Hassabis says AGI is only a few years out. Can the rulebook catch up in time?

I used to think in years. Now I think in decades. When I started @Kong, I might have guessed we'd hit certain milestones sooner than we did. But looking back, we've also built something FAR bigger than anything I could have mapped out at the start. Both things are true at the same time — and that tension taught me something I wish I'd understood earlier. We overestimate what we can do in the short term, and we dramatically underestimate what we can do in the long term. The companies that compound — the ones that end up defining their era — aren't necessarily the ones moving fastest in year one. They're the ones who identified something foundational. For us, that was APIs. The world was going to generate more APIs, more connections, more traffic — no matter what. That was true in 2015. It was true in 2020. It's more true today than ever, now that every AI agent on the planet runs on APIs. We didn't need to predict the LLM revolution. We just stayed close to something fundamental and made sure we did it better than anyone else in the world. That's what a long time horizon gives you. Not certainty about the destination — but the patience to let the right bets compound. I think about this a lot as we build Kong into the connectivity layer for the AI era. We're in the middle of something that will take another decade to fully emerge, even as it changes every day. That's exactly where we want to be.
