Perfect gravitational lensing of a bright star by Sagittarius A*
When lining up a bright star (or other object) behind a black hole, at the right distance, it will appear as a halo due to the gravitational lensing effect that black holes have on light behind it. This weird phenomenon would make it seem like there is a ring of light around a black hole, while it is actually just a single star behind it, which would be obscured if the light wasn't bent back towards your point of view.
In a way this could be seen as the opposite of an eclipse.

Suggestion: Second ring slot for utility rings versus combat rings
Do NOT suggest toe rings or rings that go in more special places
Edit: Pretend I put the lightbearer in the right ring slot. Obviously I did not give that much thought, and it belongs in the combat category.

Who would be your perfect president?
Let's assume the USA gets a clean sheet. The Democratic and Republican party are dissolved, and all politicians are now free to form their own new ideological movements. Who would your perfect president be? Or if they do not exist yet, what would they look like?
Would it still be Trump? Or would it be Trump without social media access? Or maybe Vance, Rubio or Hegseth? Perhaps even Biden but 40 years younger and less 'woke'? Or is there another public figure whose ideology you admire, who is perhaps not as fit for president who you'd like to see a more ideal version of, like Tucker Carlson or Charlie Kirk? Or maybe even a more centrist or left-leaning individual? Or was a previous president perfect for you?
I'd like to get an idea of what an ideal leader would look like without the shackles of partisan or even just established Republican/Democrat rhetoric. If you are feeling really dreamy you could even give a top 3 or top 5.

I found this incredobly difficult puzzle rated 1400, white to move
Can somebody help me out? It is very difficult. I also really wonder how this position came to be.

I found this in a bullet game, and I'm quite proud (move in second image)
The game was otherwise not too great, but I don't think I have found such a nice sacrifice in a while even in rapid, so I'm still quite proud.
I'm playing as white by the way.

In case anyone was wondering, this is what Kash Patel’s girlfriend sounds like singing an insanely cringe song...

Have any people around you changed their minds sbout Trump?
In your circles, have any people changed their minds about Trump significantly since he was elected for his second term? So, do you know any or many people who did not vote for him, or were strongly against him, who now support him? And/or do you know any or many people around you who supported him strongly or voted for him, who now are decidedly against him, or have shown strong regret about their votes?
How much are you seeing this around you? Or are things pretty much stable?
