SCIENTISTS CONFIRM FIRST-EVER WILD FOOTAGE OF RARE 'GOBLIN SHARK,' REVEALING NEW DEEP-SEA HABITATS. (PHOTO).

Image
 Scientists confirm first-ever wild footage of rare 'goblin shark,' revealing new deep-sea habitats Scientists have confirmed the first peer-reviewed video footage of a live goblin shark in its natural habitat, marking a major breakthrough in documenting one of the ocean’s rarest deep-sea species. The goblin shark (Mitsukurina owstoni), often described as a “living fossil,” is the last surviving member of an ancient shark lineage that dates back roughly 125 million years. The species is known for its elongated, horn-like snout and highly specialized jaws that can rapidly extend outward to snatch prey. Its snout contains electro-sensing organs that detect faint electrical signals from animals in the dark ocean depths, helping it locate squid, fish, and crustaceans. Adults can reach about 10 to 12 feet in length and typically appear pale pink or ghostly white. Researchers documented two separate wild encounters. The first occurred in 2019 when a remotely operated underwater vehic...

 Bill Maher issues bold warning on Elon Musk’s trillionaire status On the June 12 episode of Real Time With Bill Maher, the comedian addressed Elon Musk’s historic milestone after SpaceX went public, making Musk the world’s first trillionaire. Maher acknowledged Musk’s achievements with companies like Tesla, Neuralink, Starlink, and Twitter, but emphasized the staggering nature of his new wealth.  He joked that Musk might use his fortune to escape California taxes by moving to Mars, underscoring the surreal scale of the accomplishment.

 Adopted Without Arms, Woman Credits Mother for Teaching Her Independence Anna says the greatest gift her adoptive mother ever gave her was the confidence to believe she could do things on her own. The 32-year-old, who was born in Vietnam without arms and later adopted by a single mother in the United States, recently reflected on the unique upbringing that shaped her independence and outlook on life. Her mother worked as a physical therapist with children living with physical and cognitive disabilities.  According to Anna, that experience helped her develop a different perspective on disability and inspired her to open her home to children who needed care and support. Over the years, Anna's mother adopted six children with varying disabilities and also welcomed dozens of foster children into the family.  Anna estimates that between 60 and 80 children passed through their home in both short-term and long-term placements. Growing up, Anna said her mother rarely rushed to s...

 Russell Crowe talks 'sticking to his guns' on 'Gladiator' sex scenes At the Taormina Film Festival, Russell Crowe revisited his moral stance during the making of Gladiator. He explained that despite pressure from producers to include sex scenes between his character Maximus and Connie Nielsen’s, he refused, arguing it would undermine the story of a man avenging his murdered family.  Crowe said director Ridley Scott ultimately agreed, recognizing that the film’s emotional core lay in its integrity. He noted that the movie’s success was partly due to its moral foundation, which resonated strongly with women audiences who connected with its themes of love and vengeance. Crowe also reflected on the changing landscape of cinema, recalling how Netflix once told him he had more number‑one films on their platform than any actor who hadn’t worked directly with them.  While acknowledging streaming’s benefits, he stressed the irreplaceable communal experience of theaters, where s...

 Arianna Huffington says she hates the word balance: 'If you can finish everything before you go to sleep, you don't have an interesting enough job' Arianna Huffington has pushed back against Gen Z’s desire for strict boundaries between work and personal life, arguing that anyone with an “interesting job” cannot simply shut their laptop at 5 p.m.  The Thrive Global founder, who previously built The Huffington Post into a $315 million acquisition, explained that her own schedule rarely has a fixed end.  She said meaningful work often leaves tasks unfinished at day’s end, and if someone consistently completes everything before bedtime, it may signal they aren’t being challenged enough. Huffington’s stance comes from personal experience with burnout. In 2007, while working 18‑hour days, she collapsed from exhaustion, breaking her cheekbone after hitting her desk.  Rather than advocating for fewer hours, she emphasizes the importance of replenishing energy through sleep,...
