The image depicts a close-up illustration of a person's eye and the hands performing the action of inserting a contact lens. The eye is shown with a blue iris and a visible eyelash, and the person's skin tone is light. The hands are positioned near the eye, with the index finger and thumb gently pulling the lower eyelid to create a pocket for the lens. The other fingers are placed above the eye, likely to steady it. The background is a solid light purple color, which contrasts with the skin tones and the eye, making the action clear and focused. The illustration style is clean and detailed, with smooth lines and shading that give a sense of realism to the skin and hair textures.

The image depicts a female warrior in a dynamic battle scene. She is clad in ornate, golden armor with blue accents, including a blue cape that flows behind her. Her armor is detailed, featuring shoulder guards, gauntlets, and a breastplate, with a chainmail skirt visible beneath. She wields a sword with both hands, poised in a ready stance. Her hair is styled in a braid, secured with a headband, and she wears a blue garment underneath her armor. The background is filled with other warriors and arrows, suggesting a chaotic battlefield. The color palette is dominated by warm tones, with reds and oranges, enhancing the sense of action and urgency. The logo "Gwent: The Witcher Card Game" is visible in the bottom right corner, indicating the image's connection to the game.

"Starlink, Musk’s satellite internet company, had spent months trying to secure regulatory approval to sell internet access in the impoverished West African country. As head of Gambia’s communications ministry, Lamin Jabbi oversees the government’s review of Starlink’s license application. Jabbi had been slow to sign off and the company had grown impatient. Now the top U.S. government official in Gambia was in Jabbi’s office to intervene.
Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency loomed over the conversation. The administration had already begun freezing foreign aid projects, and early in the meeting, Cromer, a Biden appointee, said something that rattled Gambian officials in the room. She listed the ways that the U.S. was supporting the country, according to two people present and contemporaneous notes, noting that key initiatives — like one that funds a $25 million project to improve the electrical system — were currently under review.
Jabbi’s top deputy, Hassan Jallow, told ProPublica he saw Cromer’s message as a veiled threat: If Starlink doesn’t get its license, the U.S. could cut off the desperately needed funds. “The implication was that they were connected,” Jallow said."

Das Bild zeigt eine atemberaubende Sonnenuntergangslandschaft. Der Himmel ist in sanften Farben von Blau zu Orange und Gelb übergegangen, wobei die Sonne am Horizont als leuchtender Kreis zu sehen ist. Die Wolken sind spärlich verteilt und reflektieren die warmen Farben des Sonnenuntergangs, was dem Bild eine malerische Atmosphäre verleiht. Im Vordergrund sind die Silhouetten von Bäumen und Hügeln zu erkennen, die sich gegen den Himmel abzeichnen. Die Landschaft wirkt ruhig und friedlich, und die Farben des Himmels erzeugen eine beruhigende Stimmung.

“It was a deal,” said Basem Naim, a member of Hamas political bureau who has previously engaged in direct talks with U.S. officials. He said the pledge was made by “Witkoff, himself.”...“If we release [Alexander], Trump will speak out thanking Hamas for its gesture, obliging Israel on the second day to open the borders and allow aid to come into Gaza, and [Trump would] call for an immediate ceasefire and to go for negotiations to end the war.”

Avevamo tempo, eh?
L’industria europea era solida, eh?
Il know-how non si copia, eh?
Le auto cinesi erano giocattoli, eh?
Belle favole.
Intanto là fuori il mondo è cambiato.
E mentre noi ci raccontavamo la storia della rana nella pentola, loro ci hanno acceso il fuoco sotto.
Oggi l’elettrico non è più una sfida.
È una resa dei conti.
E non è andata come ci aspettavamo.
