Forget the blue bloods. The best active coach in college football just turned the worst power-conference job into a champion. Indiana was one of the worst power-conference programs in history. Curt Cignetti took over, went 16-0, and won a national title. Career winning percentage in the high .80s to low .90s. Multiple outlets rank him #1. Kirby Smart has the longer run and two titles. Ryan Day has the elite percentage at Ohio State. But the numbers say Cignetti is the best active coach in the game right now. No, I don’t like him but stats don’t lie.

Ibex: Nature’s Extreme Climbers These wild mountain goats are built for vertical living. With specialized rubbery hooves that grip tiny rock edges, powerful legs, and an incredible sense of balance, they routinely scale near-vertical cliffs and leap across gaps that would stop almost any other large animal. Males grow massive, ridged, backward-curving horns that can exceed 3 feet and are used in dramatic head-butting contests during the rut. Found across high, rugged ranges from the Alps to the Middle East and Central Asia, ibex spend most of their lives where predators can’t easily follow. One wrong step can mean a long fall, yet they make it look routine.

Remember the beautiful brunette in Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game" music video? That was Helena Christensen, and her appearance in 1991 helped turn her into one of the most recognizable supermodels in the world. Born in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1968 to a Danish father and Peruvian mother, Helena started modeling as a teenager and went on to represent Denmark in the Miss Universe pageant. By 1990, she had already landed the cover of British Vogue. Her appearance in "Wicked Game" brought her to an entirely different audience. Legendary fashion photographer Herb Ritts directed the black-and-white video on a volcanic beach in Hawaii, with Helena appearing alongside Chris Isaak. The finished video was beautiful, romantic, and incredibly sexy. But filming it wasn't nearly as glamorous as it looked. Helena later recalled spending 18 hours on the hot, rocky beach, leaving the shoot with cuts and scrapes. Her career took off during the 1990s. She modeled for Chanel, Versace, Prada, and Victoria's Secret, appearing on magazine covers around the world. She also became an accomplished photographer, eventually working behind the camera for major fashion publications. More than three decades later, Helena is still modeling and photographing, and that unforgettable black-and-white video remains one of the defining images of her career. Who remembers seeing Helena Christensen in "Wicked Game" for the first time?

Hey peeps if you’re looking for good follows I recommend @RealDanielCox 👇
I’M GOING TO DO SOMETHING I DON’T OFTEN DO. I’M GOING TO ASK FOR HELP. 🏡🐾🐾🍂 I know asking for help isn’t exactly fashionable around here, but then again, I’ve never done much the conventional way. I’m just a semi-retired construction bum who decided to step outside his comfort zone and try his hand at something completely different. When I started this page, I didn’t know much about social media. Truthfully, some days I still don’t. But somewhere along the way, this little Cabin journey became something that means a great deal to me. Something I’ve poured my time, imagination, and a good piece of myself into. And I’d really like to see how far I can take it. So tonight, I’m asking something of the good people who’ve chosen to walk alongside me. If you believe this page is worth sharing, would you help me introduce it to a few more people? Maybe a shoutout, a recommendation, an introduction to your followers, or simply sharing something I’ve created that you enjoyed. Whatever you’re comfortable with. No obligations. No expectations. I don’t believe anyone gets very far in this life entirely on their own. I’ve always believed good people helping good people can accomplish things neither could manage alone. And if there’s one thing this journey has taught me, it’s that there are still an awful lot of good people in this world. To everyone who’s already helped me get this far, thank you. I haven’t forgotten a single kindness. I’m not ready to give up on what I’m building here. Not even close. And perhaps, with a little help from my friends, the best chapters of this Cabin story are still waiting to be written. 🏡🪵🐾🐾

If your not following this amazing woman this is your chance to follow an amazing content creator.

As I was saying...
2026 Oregon really is 2025 Penn State all over again: - Coming off CFP semifinals appearance - Ranked No. 2 in preseason AP Poll - Loss to UCLA knocks them out of Top 25 - 5-star QB out for season - Season goes into death spiral

I loaned a friend $500 a couple months ago. He told me things were tight and promised he’d pay me back when he got paid. No problem. I wasn’t in a hurry. A few weeks went by and he never mentioned it. Then this weekend I saw him posting pictures from a concert. Nice seats. Dinner beforehand. Drinks afterward. The next day he texts me like everything is normal. Now I’m sitting here thinking, I obviously wasn’t expecting him to stop living his life until he paid me back. But if you owe somebody money, shouldn’t paying them back come before $200 concert tickets? Do I say something or leave it alone?

And then you have the corrupt billionaires being raided. Ya gotta love it, hey?
Tick-tock Eric, Tick-Tock. Swalwell spent months living large in a Beverly Hills mansion courtesy of his billionaire donor. This morning the FBI showed up with a search warrant. He resigned from Congress, dropped out of the governor’s race and is now under multiple investigations for sexual misconduct but sure, the raid is probably just about his taste in real estate or sex workers. 🤣

60 years ago today, October 27, 1966, It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown premiered on CBS. Linus was convinced that every Halloween night, the Great Pumpkin would rise from the most sincere pumpkin patch and deliver presents to children around the world. He was so determined to see him that he convinced Sally to skip trick-or-treating and spend the night waiting with him. Linus and Sally sat in the pumpkin patch, and the rest of the gang went trick-or-treating. Everyone came away with candy, except poor Charlie Brown, who kept getting the same thing at every house. “I got a rock.”🤦‍♂️😂 Snoopy was busy pretending to be a World War I Flying Ace, battling the Red Baron from the roof of his doghouse. He eventually made his way to the Halloween party, where the rest of the gang was celebrating, while Linus and Sally were still waiting for the Great Pumpkin to arrive. The special was based on Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts comic strip, directed by Bill Melendez, with music by Vince Guaraldi. It was the third animated Peanuts television special, following A Charlie Brown Christmas and Charlie Brown's All Stars! Back then, you had to catch these specials when they aired on television. If you missed one, you were out of luck until the following year. No streaming, no watching it whenever you felt like it. Did you grow up watching It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown every Halloween?
