Here you have another link to a photographer's website, but this one doesn't deserve a full post because the site's really bad. In spite of that, the photos are pretty good.

TIME TO START NORMALIZING IT

walter
Let’s be real… we love sex. If it were up to us, we’d be doing it every day. Multiple times, even. So how the hell is it possible that we don’t all have a sex doll at home?

What’s going on here? Is it the money? Could be—good ones don’t come cheap. Is it the taboo? Maybe. The judgment? Definitely. You hear stuff like, “That’s for weirdos,” “It’s not the same,” or “I don’t need that.” Come on, man. By that logic, you wouldn’t jerk off either because “it’s not the same.” And we both know you do.
It’s like someone telling you not to get a microwave because real cooking should be slow and traditional. Cool, I get it—but I want my microwave and my slow-cooked meals too. It’s all part of the package!

It’s about time we start normalizing this. Because if it’s not the money, it’s the shame. And if it’s not the shame, it’s the fear of what people might say. And you just can’t go through life like that.

CARIBBEAN PIRATES

The real Caribbean pirates were a whole different breed than the Hollywood kind—though just as savage. They ruled the seas between the 17th and 18th centuries, especially around the Gulf of Mexico, the Antilles, and the northern coast of South America. These guys were rogue sailors, ex-soldiers, or just hustlers who saw piracy as a fast (and seriously dangerous) way to get rich.

They attacked ships loaded with gold, silver, rum, sugar, and anything valuable coming from the American colonies to Europe. Some worked solo, but many were privateers—basically pirates with government permission to rob enemy ships.

Bartholomew "Blackbeard" (Edward Teach) was one of the most feared. He tied smoking fuses into his beard to look even scarier. With smoke pouring from his face, he looked more like a demon from hell than a Disney pirate.
Anne Bonny and Mary Read disguised themselves as men to join pirate crews. They fought like anyone else and didn’t mess around. And Calico Jack became known for his iconic flag (the classic skull with crossed swords) and for sailing alongside Anne and Mary. Spoiler: he ended up hanging by the neck.

The pirate life was brutal. Scurvy, betrayals, brawls, rotten food, and no showers in sight. But there was also a kind of pirate democracy—they voted for their captain, split the loot fairly, and had their own rules, including punishing crew members who stole from each other.
Once they started hitting ships without caring about flags, the major European powers got fed up and hunted them down almost to extinction by the early 18th century.

FIGHTING A FASCISM THAT ONLY EXISTS IN THEIR HEADS

Some people are obsessed with seeing fascism everywhere. They call it out in governments, laws, and pretty much any opinion they don’t like. “Fascist alert!” they cry. But real fascism, the textbook kind, is crystal clear: it’s all about force. About using the State as a weapon—extreme nationalism, a cult of personality, militarism, systematic suppression of freedoms, a single-party rule. And let’s be honest: that’s just not happening in Europe or the US today.

The irony? The only real violence I’m seeing comes from the very people claiming to fight fascism. They’re the ones yelling, pointing fingers, getting aggressive, and trying to shut you down if you don’t agree with them. And no matter how they dress it up, that reeks of authoritarianism too.

So when I see images like these from FEMEN, I can’t help but wonder: are they protesting something real, or just fighting a monster they made up in their heads?

CUSTOMIZE THEM HOWEVER BIG YOU WANT

Artificial intelligence has taken image creation to a level that, just a few years ago, would have seemed like science fiction. Today, the level of personalization it offers is simply astonishing. We’re no longer limited by what exists in reality—anything we imagine can be generated with a precision and detail that once required hours of manual editing.

From hyper-realistic portraits to dreamlike landscapes, and even artistic styles that blend techniques impossible in the physical world, AI transforms ideas into images in seconds. Every detail can be fine-tuned, every element adjusted, and the results never cease to amaze.

What’s most impressive is how this technology has democratized creativity. You don’t need to be a design expert or have advanced editing skills—just describe what you want, and AI does the rest. And the best part? The potential is still growing. What stuns us today will soon be just the beginning of a new visual era.

FROM FREE HUGS TO FREE SEX

Remember the "Free Hugs" viral thing? That handwritten sign on a piece of cardboard, held by someone standing in the middle of the street, hoping some brave soul would go in for a little spontaneous affection. It became a full-blown phenomenon a couple of decades ago—a simple, feel-good gesture that, at the time, actually felt kind of revolutionary.

It all started with the “Free Hugs” movement back in 2004 in Australia, when a guy named Juan Mann hit the streets with his sign, just looking for a bit of human connection. It didn’t take long for the video to blow up on YouTube and turn into a symbol of hope, empathy, and human closeness—at a time when the world was already getting lost in screens and fast-paced routines.

A lot has changed since then. And while the cardboard + message + spontaneity combo is still around, let’s just say it’s taken a few… interesting turns.
