That video is raw footage from a Pakistan Coast Guard patrol boat. It's their team chasing and confronting a suspicious vessel out at sea—likely a smuggling or illegal fishing boat—while armed and closing in fast. The "Pakistan Coast Guard" overlay confirms it. The over-the-top action-movie soundtrack is just viral hype (super common in these military clips to grab attention). Not a direct "rebuff" to US interdictions—it's Pakistan showing off their own maritime ops in their waters. No deeper political jab apparent, just enforcement footage.

Resident Evil Requiem is currently #2, #3 and #7 on the Switch 2 eShop. Considering Nintendo platforms have missed the last 10+ years of new games, I'd say that's quite good. It's not going to be the #1 platform for the game, but Capcom won't hate the extra sales.

An officer of the Italian Cavalry School doing his last exercise in 1906. To pass, every officer must go down the ‘Descent of Mombrone’, a six-meter drop from the window of a ruined castle near Pinerolo. It was considered the final test of bravery.

For a long time, China’s golden armor was a historical claim without physical evidence. Tang dynasty writers mentioned shining suits of armor worn in frontier warfare, but archaeologists had never found a real example to examine. That changed last month, when researchers in China unveiled a restored suit of gilded bronze armor from a royal tomb on the Tibetan Plateau. It is the only known physical example of Tang dynasty “golden armor,” rescued from fragments and brought back together with modern science. The armor comes from the Xuewei No. 1 Tomb in Dulan County, Qinghai Province. The burial dates to the mid-eighth century and belonged to a king of the Tuyuhun, a powerful people who once controlled large stretches of China’s western frontier before becoming entangled with the Tang dynasty and the Tibetan Tubo empire. When archaeologists first entered the tomb, they found the remains badly disturbed. Bronze armor plates and lacquered horse armor were scattered together, broken and corroded. To solve the puzzle, conservators at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) took the armor apart—digitally. Each fragment was scanned in three dimensions to record its original position. Microscopes revealed how the plates were made and what metals they contained. The analysis revealed that the armor was more than plain bronze. It had been gilded, confirming that Tang poets had been describing something real. Using the data, researchers created a reconstruction of the armor’s original, reflective ceremonial form. #archaeohistories

"Kid Rock testified before Congress and slammed ticketing industry for unfair practices: "Full of greedy snakes and scoundrels." “Unlike most of my peers, I am beholden to no one — no record companies, no managers, no corporate endorsements or deals. To put it plainly, I ain’t scared to speak out on these issues like many artists, managers and agents are for fear of biting the hand that feeds them... this industry is full of greedy snakes and scoundrels. Too many suits lining their pockets over talent they never had and fans they mislead. The truth is, much of this could have been or still could be solved through technology, especially proof of humanity tools. It hasn’t happened yet because there’s just too much money in the secondary ticket market. Ticketing companies didn’t fail to stop this; seems they chose not to.” variety.com/2026/music/new…

@Jim91Bro @BradNorwoo94540 @histories_arch I hate the OP and disagree with him but youre 100% incorrect when the British Monarchy eliminated slavery in the 1830s.... over 30 years before the US Civil War and emancipation proclamation. In fact so did France and other countries all before the US.

@BradNorwoo94540 @histories_arch You’re too dumb to understand that throwing off the cloak of the monarchy in the name of Liberty was the 1st step in eliminating slavery.

In 1783, King George III asked an American painter what George Washington would do now that he had virtually won the war. The painter replied that the General intended to return to his farm in Virginia. The King was stunned. He reportedly said, "If he does that, he will be the greatest man in the world." Throughout history, victorious generals almost always seized the throne. From Caesar to Cromwell, military success usually meant political dictatorship. The concept of voluntarily walking away from absolute power was practically unheard of. But George Washington wasn't like other men. By December 4, 1783, the British surrender at Yorktown was past, and peace was finally assured. Washington commanded a powerful, seasoned army that adored him. Conversely, many of his officers were unpaid and angry at the inefficient Congress. They had the guns, the manpower, and the loyalty to install a new monarch. He could have been King George I of America. Instead, on this day in history, Washington walked into the Long Room at Fraunces Tavern in lower Manhattan. The room was filled with his most loyal officers—men like Henry Knox and Baron von Steuben—who had frozen with him at Valley Forge and bled with him for eight long years. The atmosphere wasn't celebratory. It was heavy with inevitable separation. Washington, usually stoic and commercially reserved, poured a glass of wine and looked at his brothers-in-arms with visible emotion. "With a heart full of love and gratitude, I now take leave of you," he said, his voice shaking. "I most devoutly wish that your latter days may be as prosperous and happy as your former ones have been glorious and honorable." He didn't order them. He didn't demand their allegiance. He hugged them. One by one, the hardened soldiers wept openly. Washington embraced each man in silence. There was no pomp, no ceremony, and no speeches about future conquests. It was just a quiet goodbye between warriors who had done the impossible. Immediately after leaving the tavern, Washington didn't march on Congress to demand payment or power. He rode to Annapolis, Maryland, resigned his commission, and went home to Mount Vernon to plant crops. He did the impossible. He refused the crown. He trusted the people. By stepping down, he ensured that the United States would be a republic ruled by laws, not a kingdom ruled by force. He proved that the military serves the people, not the other way around. It was the final, and perhaps greatest, victory of the Revolution. The world watched in awe as the American Cincinnatus returned his sword to its sheath, proving that character is the strongest constitution of all." #archaeohistories

@ItsSelenaMaris @stats_feed The Qing Dynasty had already fallen a decade before the CCP was even founded. But yeah Mao liked it this way compared to Lenin who just murdered the Tsars family.
