I especially recommend "What makes you strong" from her album BABYBLUES.

Take care! Cheers!

‘Russian cosmonaut’ swindles $30,000 from Japanese woman
The con artist claimed he was stationed at the International Space Station and had to pay his way back to Earth
... claiming he had to pay rocket expenses for his return and massive “landing fees.”

Kim Kardashian got paid $250k to promote Ethereum Max then lost $1.3m of that to an SEC fine.
Would have gotten better returns just investing in Ethereum MAX, which is down 97% since her post.

EDIT : this below is prank and internet hoax :
--------------------
https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/10/11/7371510/
-- Russia photoshops a Ukrainian passport for new fake about Crimean Bridge ''terrorist attack'' | Ukrainska Pravda
Details:
In reality, the photo of "the terrorist’s" passport was fabricated with help of photo editing software –
the stock image itself was pulled from Wikipedia, where features as an example of an ID card (a Ukrainian passport).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_passport#/media/File:Ukrainian_biometric_passport_data_page.jpg
Authors of this fake have changed only the name, the picture and the sex; all other details of the document were unchanged from Wikipedia.
Additionally, they have added what are allegedly blood stains and damage, which are apparently "a result of the terrorist attack".

comment
Russians may be stupid, but not that stupid. Sam Hyde is an old meme (which arose in particular in relation to the Ghost of Kyiv).
That is, it is NOT Russian photoshop, but simply the hackneyed work of our JOURNALISTS

Hyde is known for his involvement in several public pranks and internet hoaxes.

George: That's who's name?

George: Will you or will you not tell me the name of the new leader of China?
Condi : Yes, sir.
George: Yassir? Yassir Arafat is in China? I thought he was in the Middle East.

Condi : Yes, sir.
George: Yassir is in China?
Condi : No, sir.
George: Then who is?
Condi : Yes, sir.
George: Yassir?

Get me the Secretary General of the U.N. on the phone.
Condi : Kofi?
George: No, thanks.
Condi : You want Kofi?
George: No.
Condi : You don't want Kofi.
George: No. But now that you mention it, I could use a glass of milk. And then get me the U.N.
Condi : Yes, sir.
George: Not Yassir! The guy at the U.N.
Condi : Kofi?
George: Milk! Will you please make the call?
Condi : And call who?
George: Who is the guy at the U.N?
Condi : Hu is the guy in China.
George: Will you stay out of China?!
Condi : Yes, sir.
George: And stay out of the Middle East! Just get me the guy at the U.N.
Condi : Kofi.
George: All right! With cream and two sugars. Now get on the phone.
(Condi picks up the phone.)
Condi : Rice, here.
George: Rice? Good idea. And a couple of egg rolls, too. Maybe we should send some to the guy in China.
And the Middle East. Can you get Chinese food in the Middle East?

-- Remembering Windows XP on its 20th anniversary - Neowin
While October 25th, 2021 marked the 20th anniversary for Windows XP, it also marked the flow of features that continued into future iterations of Windows as well.
Built on the Windows NT kernel instead of the Windows 95 kernel, Windows XP was the evolution of both Windows Me and Windows 2000.

Adobe steals your color
------------------
https://twitter.com/funwithstuff/status/1585850262656143360
-- Fun times ahead for #Adobe designers.
Today, if you open a PSD (even one that's 20 years old) with an obscure PANTONE colour, it will remove the colour and make it black.
Pantone want US$21/month for access, and Solid Coated goes behind the paywall in early November.

Adobe steals your color
When a company breaks a product you rely on – wrecking decades of work – it's natural to feel fury.
Companies know this, so they try to deflect your rage by blaming their suppliers.
Sometimes, it's suppliers who are at fault – but other times, there is plenty of blame to go around.
For example, when Apple deleted all the working VPNs from its Chinese App Store and backdoored its Chinese cloud servers, it blamed the Chinese government.
But the Chinese state knew that Apple had locked its devices so that its Chinese customers couldn't install third-party apps.
