This is quite something ! Serbian RTV channel starts yesterday's bulletin by apologizing to viewers👇 "For years, we failed to fulfill our duty. We kept silent, turned a blind eye, reported events one-sidedly and failed to ask necessary questions. We owe our viewers an apology”

Gal Gadot flew from Los Angeles to Israel to cast her vote in today's election. "I'm voting for change," she said, encouraging Israelis to vote. While she hasn't revealed which party she supports, her message suggests she may be hoping to see an end to Benjamin Netanyahu's rule.
Gal Gadot votes in Israel’s election today: “I’m voting for change.”

Let's look at Amy Schumer and Chris Fischer's relationship. Interestingly, this marriage also involved a chef and a partner on the autism spectrum, but this time the roles were reversed. They married in 2018, separated in December 2025 after nearly eight years together as husband and wife, and their divorce has now been finalized. After their marriage, Schumer learned that her husband was on the autism spectrum. She publicly explained that his diagnosis helped her understand his behavior better and made her love him even more. They had a child together in 2019. Years later, as their son grew older, Schumer lost considerable weight, appeared to regain her confidence, and the marriage ended. She has denied that her weight loss or his autism had anything to do with their separation, and we cannot know everything that happened privately. But the contrast with Jamie and Jools Oliver raises an interesting point about relationships. In many marriages, the partner with greater financial resources, fame, social standing, or independence has more power to decide whether the relationship continues. Not always, of course. We've all seen people with enormous wealth, successful careers, powerful family backgrounds, and public influence who nevertheless have surprisingly little power in their personal relationships. And I'm certainly not suggesting that relationships should be power games, or that I approve of such dynamics. I'm simply acknowledging that these imbalances exist, whether we like them or not. Having the freedom to leave a marriage and choosing to remain committed to it are two different things. That's why I value loyalty and long-term commitment so highly.
Jools Oliver is one of those super lucky women whose husband, Jamie Oliver, has always stood by her. They have five children together, and divorce has never seemed to be on the table. Jools has had the security and support to struggle with her autism and ADHD without fearing the loss of her marriage. With a different partner, that relationship might have ended long ago. Sadly, in today’s world, not many people are willing to stand by a partner through years of mental health struggles.

Unless Jamie Oliver writes a book years from now revealing that he cheated on his wife numerous times, as Jon Bon Jovi did, I would consider their marriage one of the ideal ones. We used to think Jon Bon Jovi had an ideal marriage, too. It may still be a good marriage, but after learning about his infidelities, I can no longer see it as an ideal one.

Palantir CEO and co-founder Alex Karp recently purchased 37,000 acres of forest in Härjedalen, Sweden, through his newly registered company Cladonia Skog AB, for $22 million.

Bu arazisi tarla vasfındaysa bile, şehrin ihtiyaçları değişiyor, 5-10 seneye imar çıkar. Bitcoin'den kazandığından bile daha çok kar eder bu yatırımından Didem Soydan, akıllı bir yatırım yapmış kısaca. Bu gelen AI dönemiyle de ilgili üstelik, arsa arazilerin değeri çok katlanacak. Hatta en değerli şey olacak.

2012'de New York'tayken aldığı Bitcoin'leri unutmuş, 4 yıl sonra hatırlamıştı. Türk model Didem Soydan Bitcoin zengini anlayacağınız. Herkes aldığı arazinin imarsız olduğundan emin. Varsayalım imarsız, zaman içinde imarı çıkarılır, ifrazı yapılır. Tarla olarak bile kalsa - ki kalmaz, ama velev ki tarla kaldı; Tapuda tarla yazması, üzerine hiçbir yapı yapılamayacağı anlamına gelmiyor. Türkiye'de imarsız arazilere de belirli koşullarla bağ veya çiftlik evi yapılabiliyor. Plansız Alanlar İmar Yönetmeliği'nin 63. maddesinde %5 yapılaşma ve en fazla 250 m² toplam inşaat alanı öngörülüyor. Elbette tarım arazisinin niteliğine göre ayrıca izin alınması gerekiyor. Dolayısıyla Didem Soydan'ın 20 dönümlük arazisine kesinlikle ev yapılamaz demek de, kesinlikle yapılabilir demek de doğru değil.
Didem Soydan: "Trakya'da sevdiklerimle birlikte yaşayabilmek için 20 dönümlük arazi aldım. Sevdiklerimin hiçbir şey düşünmeden ev kurabileceği bir yerleri olsun istedim. Ev ihtiyacı oldukları zaman araziyi kullanıp ev yapabilirler."

They're not the exception; they're almost the rule. Even many of the most extraordinarily beautiful women in the world end up with rather ordinary-looking men. Contrary to the Matching Hypothesis, which suggests that people tend to pair with partners of similar physical attractiveness, couples who appear equally matched in looks sometimes seem to be the exception rather than the rule.
