I don't even go here (ballet), but this dancer came across my feed at random on FB, and I think that if he's looking for the right audience.... well, Tumblr loves a beautiful man doing beautiful dances in beautiful clothes.
He's also selling prints on his website!! Like this one!!
There are a lot more than just this one, but this is one of my favorites. There's also artwork of him in the prints section!
Trinidad and Tobago’s government has signed agreements with U.S. companies to install large data centers, raising concerns about energy use

Trinidad and Tobago signs agreements with US companies that pave the way for data centers

PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad (AP) — Trinidad and Tobago has signed agreements paving the way for U.S. companies to begin groundwork for installing large data centers in the Caribbean nation, sparking concerns about potential energy consumption and environmental impacts.
The memorandums of understanding with the Florida-headquartered Hummingbird AI Holdings and New York-based Ernst and Young LLP were signed on Friday, according to a statement from the office of Trinidad and Tobago’s Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar. These are the first such agreements with a Caribbean country.
The deal with Ernst and Young LLP will set out the framework for collaboration on developing large-scale data centers, with the company planning to “partner with third parties in the development” of a 300 megawatt data center, the statement said.
The agreement with Hummingbird AI Holdings sets up the framework for “preliminary cooperation, due diligence and coordination” for a proposed 150 MW AI infrastructure and data center facility.
Data centers are listed with a megawatt figure to indicate their electrical power capacity to operate at peak load. The 300 MW center has a capacity of 300 million watts of electricity.
The deals raised online questions about the environmental impact of the centers.
Renowned social activist Dr. Wayne Kublalsingh told The Associated Press he was concerned about the energy consumption by the planned data centers.
The government is “trying to present something which looks like development, but which is not development,” he said.
Trinidad and Tobago has long grappled with chronic water shortages and intermittent supply, raising concerns that large, water-intensive data centers could place additional strain on an already overstretched system.
The majority of the twin-island country functions on water schedules set by the state’s utility company. Most homes have water tanks since the supply in their taps can be as rare as once a week. In some instances, communities have gone weeks without water being supplied by the state company.
Data centers could account for nearly 3% of the world’s projected electricity use by 2030, with 935 trillion watt-hours, according to a recent United Nations University report. The environmental footprint of data centers already rivals some of the world’s largest countries, according to the report.
Electricity supply in Trinidad and Tobago has improved over the years. While there are still power outages at times in parts of the country, they are rare.
Trinidad and Tobago’s government signed a third agreement with another American company, Pinnacle Steel and Vanadium Corporation, which recently acquired a local iron and steel plant. Government officials said the agreement allows for further talks on recommissioning operating the plant.
The government said the three initiatives, combined, are expected to generate over 5,000 jobs.
The prime minister has been a strong supporter of the Trump administration. Her office said the U.S. government played a role in facilitating the parties involved in the agreements.
“They’re going to invest here to work on data centers, two for data centers, and one to help us rejuvenate and rebuild our steel industry,” Persad-Bissessar said Friday night, speaking at a U.S. independence anniversary celebration ceremony hosted by the U.S. Embassy in Trinidad and Tobago.

Hey everyone, looks like the “cat summoned for jury duty” was ai generated - even has the ai symbol at the top. Thanks for the heads up, @cannot-all-throw-inkpots . My apologies- I did not realize when I shared it.
Some positive news: There really WAS a cat summoned for jury duty back in 2010. Turns out the error was quickly corrected and the cat did NOT actually have to travel to the courthouse. But at least we can enjoy the fact that a papereork glitch did once try to give a cat jury duty XD
WASHINGTON — Meta's new AI image generator, Muse, will allow users to create images using content from public Instagram profiles without direct consent.
Muse Image launched on Tuesday on the Meta AI app, web browser, WhatsApp and on Instagram stories. Users were automatically opted into the program and will have to adjust their privacy settings in order to restrict the AI from using Instagram photos.
Meta announced you can @-mention Instagram accounts in the Meta AI app to bring specific profiles right into the images you want to create.
"Whether you want to design a custom event invitation, mock up a collaborative creative concept, or generate a personalized graphic, tagging a username lets Meta AI use public photos to build a visual that’s ready to post," Meta said in its announcement Tuesday. "You have control over how your content can be tagged for AI creation with an easy setting to turn this feature off at any time."
The option to opt out may not be available to all users as Meta rolls out the new feature.
How to opt your Instagram from Meta's AI image generator
Open the Instagram app, tap your profile,
Tap the three lines in the top-right corner of the screen.
Scroll down to the Sharing and reuse tab. Here is where you should see a section labeled "Allow people to use your content on Instagram and with AI features on Meta", with a toggle for Posts and one for Reels.
Hit the toggle to turn off for both "Posts" and "Reels."
The tech giant received backlash for automatically opting users into the program.
"This is incredibly uncool. If your Instagram is public, Meta is granting people the right to reuse your content with AI features *by default," one user wrote on X.
"Heads up for anyone with a public Instagram profile. Meta’s trying to pull the same stunt Twitter tried and letting other users feed what you post into their AI. You CAN opt out by making sure these settings are all turned off," another user warned on X.
Meta also urged that its Muse Image has built-in safety guardrails that are designed to block content that violates its guidelines. Those who see a generated image that violates Meta's policy can report it by pressing and holding down on the image, selecting the thumbs down option and choose a reason for reporting.
“We built Muse Image with strong controls and safety guardrails from day one. Private accounts and those belonging to users under 18 are automatically excluded and adult users with public accounts can opt out with just a couple clicks," Meta said in a statement Wednesday. "We will take action against any content that violates our Community Standards.”
The feature does not allow users to @-mention private accounts or profiles belonging to users under the age of 18. Teens will also not be able to use this feature to tag or reference other accounts, Meta said.

SAN DIEGO — Meta has removed one feature from its newly launched Muse Image, an AI image tool, just days after it became available in Meta AI.
Muse Image allows users to create AI-generated images using prompts and by combining photos. One feature allowed users to generate images by @-mentioning public Instagram accounts as references.
The feature was available for only a few days before Meta removed it. The company said it made the change after hearing feedback from users.
Cybersecurity expert Nikolas Behar explained to CBS 8's Esmeralda Perez how the feature worked.
“It allows folks to generate images based on prompts,” Behar said. “And up until earlier today, they could generate images by tagging folks within Instagram. So they could tag '@Esmeralda jumping over a fence' or 'over a rainbow,' or '@Esmeralda eating seafood.'”
In a blog update, Meta said its goal was to create a useful tool while giving people control over whether their public content could be referenced.
Below is Meta’s statement:
Update on July 10, 2026 at 3:45PM PT: Earlier this week, we announced that one way for people to generate images in Meta AI is by @-mentioning public Instagram accounts that they want to reference. Our intent was to provide a useful creative tool and to give people control over whether their public content could be referenced in this way. We’ve heard the feedback that this feature missed the mark, so it’s no longer available.
Behar noted the ability to use someone’s likeness in AI-generated images can raise questions about how that technology may be used.
“There’s definitely a lot of dangerous and malicious consequences that could arise from such a feature being released,” Behar said. “Somebody could use somebody’s likeness to depict them in a way that they don’t want or they haven’t authorized, or can put them in a compromising position.”
Behar recommends users review their Instagram settings to understand how their content can be used or reused through AI features. He said users should check whether they are opted out of any settings that allow others to reuse their content.
I like “pentapodactyl” tremendously!!! but hate “chiro” in this context, and I don’t know why. Obviously I have no authority to be the arbiter of this but I do feel strongly!!
There’s a gorgeous rhythm to:
Cephalopharyngeal pentapodactyl monstrosity of the alarm
@elodieunderglass I'm curious how you pronounce "Cephalopharyngeal" - my instinct is to pronounce the opening as a dactyl, like in "cephalopod", i.e. "SEF-uh-lo", but the scansion of that line feels better to me if it's an amphibrach, i.e. "suh-FAL-lo"
The Cephalobrachial Pentapodactylus! Palmate monstrosity of the alarm!
The sesquipedalian's best pernoctalian psuedo-mammalian hand without arm!
This maniform, bursiform, digital deep-dweller drifts through the darkest demersal domains,
A five-footed fingerling phantasm floating full fathoms afloor from the foam-freckled main!
It hunts with its quick hyponychial cnidocytes fully envenomed and ready to kill!
If nocuous toxicants don't cause cessation its rostriform mandibles certainly will!
By ripping and rending, it ruptures its rations with razorlike radulae housed in its jaw;
Its great glabrous grub-grippers gather the gobbets to go in its ventropharyngeal maw!
The Cephalobrachial Pentapodactylus seldom comes skyward while it's still alive,
But sometimes some singular specimen surfaces, stalking the shore like a deadly high-five,
So if you should witness, in perambulation, gressorial fingertips roaming the sands,
I beg you, consider this simple hortation: observe from a distance, and do not shake hands!

When Amal surprised me by telling me she named her newborn after me, I felt like part of my heart had gone to Gaza and remained there ever since.
This part of my heart is now breaking. Amal, who's been on a poor diet because she can't afford better food, is unable to breastfeed baby Mina any longer, and is unable to afford enough formula to compensate, and now both mother and baby are weak and malnourished.
Amal is suffocating from the stress of having to provide for her daughters. Her husband Motasem is doing everything he can (recently, he was almost caught in a bombing while trying to get food) but they're both overwhelmed. I wish there was anything I can do for them.
I'm begging you to donate if you can and share if you can't. I want, more than anything in this world, for these kids to grow up healthy and for their parents to be able to rest.
Wait what? Formerly "FreeMap Israel." Oh turns out maybe everyone knew that already but it's still news to me. Anyway, now you know that if you didn't already.
Further context: Durham city council (Reform UK) cut funding and support for Pride. The Durham Miner's Association and other trade unions raised enough money for Durham Pride 2026 to go ahead - a direct call back to when Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) raised money for mining communities when Margaret Thatcher seized union funding during the miner strikes of 1984-85.
At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.
Stephen Guy, the chair of the Durham Miners’ Association, said that when it became apparent Durham Pride was under threat, he took it upon himself to “encourage the trade union movement to step up and do the right thing, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the LGBT+ community […] They not only raised funds for us, but came to our communities, uplifted our spirits when they were down, and showed their solidarity.”

Last U.S. Polio Survivor in an Iron Lung Dies After the Machine Began to Break Down and No One Could Repair It

NEED TO KNOW
Martha Ann Lillard contracted polio in 1953, two years before the vaccine helped eliminate cases in the U.S.
She relied on an iron lung for decades, as modern respirators could not meet her breathing needs
Lillard died at age 78 after a struggle with long COVID and the breakdown of her decades-old iron lung
Martha Ann Lillard, the last U.S. polio patient who used an iron lung to survive, has died at age 78 after the machine, which dates back to the 1940s, began to break down — and no one could repair it.
The Shawnee, Okla., resident first experienced symptoms of the disease on her fifth birthday in 1953, she told KFOR 8 days before her death. "I woke up and it was sunny outside, and I started to sit up, and my neck was killing me," she said. "I couldn't lift my head off the pillow."
"After four days, I went unconscious. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't move my arms or legs," she explains. Lillard had contracted polio — just two years before a vaccine would be introduced that would help eliminate cases of the devastating disease in the U.S.
At the time, an iron lung — a full-body ventilator — was the go-to treatment for polio patients. "They usually didn't like to put children in because [children] fought it, but I didn't," Lillard said. "I liked it. It felt good to breathe."
As the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention explains, polio, which is caused by the extremely contagious poliovirus, is "a crippling and potentially deadly disease that affects the nervous system." It lives in the feces of an infected person, but can also be spread via eating or drinking food that's been contaminated. Although most people who contract polio do not exhibit symptoms — or if they do, they experience flu-like fevers, tiredness, nausea, headache, nasal congestion, and sore throat — the CDC says 1 in 200 to 1 in 2,000 people will develop paralysis. It was famously the case with U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who needed a wheelchair after he contracted the disease.
Lillard initially spent six months in the hospital, spending 23 hours a day in the iron lung while she re-taught her lungs to breathe. "When I got in it, I was tired. Always getting in there felt wonderful," she told the outlet. As time went on and she returned to her home, her sessions in the iron lung were reduced. Although her right arm remained paralyzed, she regained the ability to walk and her lungs grew stronger.
As a GoFundMe established for her memorial explains, "Despite living with only 25% lung capacity, scoliosis, and a paralyzed right arm, Martha Ann spent her life as normally as possible. She was incredibly creative, painting, writing poems, and composing music for the left hand piano."
Other polio survivors transitioned to more modern respirators, but Lillard said "I tried all of them" and none could give her "what I needed to breathe. So they just weren't effective."
At one point, she only used it when she slept, but eventually her health declined — largely after she developed post-polio syndrome, a disabling condition that causes fatigue and weakness. She contracted COVID-19 twice, and then developed long COVID, needing to rely on the iron lung around the clock. As her obituary says, it was eventually the long-haul COVID that was named as her cause of death.
Amid her health struggles, the iron lung began to break down. "Some of the parts are from … the 1940s, and they're hard to locate," her sister, Cindy McVey, said. "We have a spare motor, but we don't have anyone to put it back in if we needed it."
And as KFOR reports, Lillard struggled with access to healthcare, and last year, a tornado knocked out power to her iron lung. Her husband, Baha Seleh, gave her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation until help arrived.
She died on June 26. And as the GoFundMe recalls, "Even as post-polio syndrome continued to affect her, she maintained a wonderful fighting attitude, making the most of what she had left and enjoying life as much as she could. Martha Ann also saved people and abandoned animals, especially dogs, all over the U.S., showing her compassion and resilience every day."
