His representative said that actor Chance Perdomo, who was in “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” and “Gen V,” died in a motorcycle accident. He was 27 years old.

“On behalf of the family and his representatives, it is with heavy hearts that we share the news of Chance Perdomo’s untimely death as a result of a motorcycle accident,” Rachel Hunt, who was speaking on his behalf, told CNN.

Hunt said that the local police said there were no other people involved in the accident. CNN has asked for more information about what happened with the motorcycle.

He played Ambrose Spellman in all four seasons of “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” a Netflix show with Kiernan Shipka as the lead. He was also known for playing Andre Anderson in “Gen V,” a Prime Video spinoff of “The Boys” that started its first season last year.

Perdomo was nominated for a BAFTA TV Award in 2019 for his role in the TV movie “Killed by My Debt.”

“His love for the arts and hunger for life were felt by everyone who knew him, and his warmth will live on in the people he loved the most,” his representative said in a statement.

Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television said sad things about the actor in a statement on X.

“Chance Perdomo’s sudden death has broken the hearts of everyone in the Gen V family.” A statement from Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television said, “At this difficult time, our thoughts and prayers are with Chance’s family and all who loved him.”

The people who worked on “Gen V” remembered the actor as a charming and skilled performer.

“This is hard for us to understand.” “Chance was always charming and smiling, an energetic force of nature, an incredibly talented performer, and most of all, just a very kind, lovely person,” the producers said in a statement on X. It doesn’t make sense to write about him in the past tense either. It breaks our hearts to hear about Chance’s death. He was a friend and coworker. Tonight, give your loved ones a big hug.

I was weeding the side garden when I struck something metallic.

Thought it was an old sprinkler or something interesting. It turned out to be a copper ground wire for electrical service attached to a rod buried deep beneath the earth.

Flashback again to my dad talking about grounding in the olden days — “It’s like your seatbelt.” I get it now.

What Is This Thing?
The one riveted into a long metal rod with a fat, braided cable? It’s you grounding your electrical system.’ It links your home’s main panel to a metal rod that is buried some 8 feet deep. Its role is to route excessive electricity to the ground.

Power surge? Lightning strike? Faulty appliance? (All of that machinery is grounded, and the ground wire is what takes the hit and makes sure everything else stays safe.) It is not flashy, but it is indispensable.

Is It Dangerous?
Only if you mess with it. If cut or removed it will put your home at risk. If the wire is intact, and the clamp’s tight, it’s likely doing its job.

Mine appeared a tad dated but sturdy. I left it and pinpointed the location.

Why Is It in a Random Spot?
Ground rods are placed wherever the electrician can get good contact with the soil — commonly just outside the main breaker panel. If the arrangement didn’t work out, they ran the wire through the yard. That explains how mine wound up in the garden.

What To Do If You Find One
.Don’t cut or move it. It is a component of your home’s safety system.
.Mark the location. Prevent further damage when doing yard work.
.Trace the wire. It typically goes to your main panel.
.Call an electrician if it appears corroded or if it’s disconnected.

Final Thought
That old wire in your yard is still guarding your house. Someone put it in correctly, probably decades ago, and it’s kept at work in silence ever since.

I hit a copper ground wire for electrical service and now I can’t stop thinking about what else is out there, buried, all while holding everything together quietly, invisibly.

At nearly 65, Sharon Stone, the eternal icon, continues to dazzle fans with her stunning figure and natural beauty, recently showcased in a daring swimsuit photo.

Known for her roles in hits like *Basic Instinct* and *Casino*, Stone remains a versatile and captivating presence in Hollywood.

In a recent Instagram post, she appeared by the pool in a leopard print bikini, captioning it “Thankfully Imperfect on a Perfect Day,” to the delight of her 3.9 million followers.

Stone attributes her ageless beauty to mindful living, including a healthy diet, regular sleep, and daily movement like using the ThighMaster.

A Tibetan Buddhist, she also emphasizes the importance of inner happiness and balance. In another charming photo from her Beverly Hills home, Stone’s French Bulldog, Bandit, steals the spotlight, underscoring her message that true joy and beauty come from within and the simple pleasures of life.

In an age dominated by headlines, hashtags, and soundbites, it’s rare for a single word to ignite global curiosity. But that’s precisely what happened after newly-elected Pope Leo XIV responded to a question with a lone, ambiguous word — “Many.” For some, it was a statement of depth. For others, a cryptic gesture. And for many more, a prompt to speculate, interpret, and even debate.

This article takes a balanced look at the event, the interpretations it inspired, and what it tells us about communication, context, and the modern media landscape.

Setting the Scene: A Papal Moment Goes Viral
On May 12, 2025, Pope Leo XIV, formerly Cardinal Robert Prevost of Chicago, stood before an international press corps at the Vatican following his historic election. As the first American to ascend to the papacy, expectations were high. Reporters were eager to ask about his background, his vision for the Church, and, of course, his thoughts on his home country.

When asked by a journalist, “Do you have a message for the United States?”, the Pope paused and answered with a single word:

“Many.”

He then concluded with a brief, “God bless you all,” and exited the podium.

The moment was short — less than a few seconds — but it instantly became a trending topic on social media and a subject of discussion across news outlets, blogs, and forums. What did he mean? Was it a coded message, a slip of the tongue, or simply a humble acknowledgment?

Understanding the Word: Possible Interpretations
The ambiguity of the Pope’s one-word message has given rise to countless interpretations. Let’s explore a few of the most prominent theories.

1. A Broad Blessing
The most charitable interpretation is that Pope Leo XIV simply intended to say that he had “many” blessings, prayers, or hopes for the people of the United States — a country he once called home. In this reading, “many” is not incomplete, but rather poetic in its brevity. Like a haiku, it invites reflection rather than clarity.

This would not be out of character for a religious leader. Papal communications often lean on metaphor, tradition, and spiritual suggestion rather than direct language. It’s possible Leo XIV hoped to communicate abundance, compassion, or simply goodwill — all wrapped in a single, enigmatic term.

2. An Incomplete Sentence
Others have suggested the Pope may have started a sentence but chose not to finish it. “Many…” could be followed by a mental list — “Many challenges,” “Many prayers,” “Many opportunities,” “Many hopes.” Perhaps he decided to leave the interpretation open on purpose. Or maybe he had a moment of hesitation, and the moment passed.

Given the setting and pressure of a live international address, even seasoned public figures can make spontaneous choices in speech. Sometimes, less is more — even if unintentionally so.

3. A Reflection of Complexity
A third school of thought views “many” as a recognition of the complexity of America itself. It’s a nation of many voices, many beliefs, many contradictions. From this perspective, the word “many” is a kind of mirror, reflecting not a singular message but a diverse and layered national identity.

In this sense, Pope Leo XIV’s word may have carried more meaning than even he anticipated. It resonates with theological concepts of unity in diversity — a central theme in Catholicism — and invites listeners to think beyond surface-level interpretations.

The Public Reaction: From Confusion to Commentary
Social media was quick to react. Memes spread rapidly, and some users jokingly referred to “Many” as the shortest papal encyclical in history. Others treated it with solemnity, dissecting every possible theological or political implication.

Some conservative commentators speculated that it was a veiled criticism of American culture or politics. Progressive voices, on the other hand, suggested it was a gentle push for inclusion and openness. Many religious observers simply found the moment intriguing, rather than prescriptive.

Despite the buzz, the Vatican has not issued any official clarification, nor has the Pope addressed the word further in any public speech. This silence has only fueled continued curiosity.

Historical Parallels: When Few Words Say Much
While Pope Leo XIV’s “Many” may seem unprecedented, it fits within a broader tradition of minimalist communication by global leaders.

In 1963, Pope John XXIII famously responded to a child who asked what message he would give the world. He answered: “Peace.”

President Calvin Coolidge was known for saying little; when asked why he was so quiet, he simply said, “Because.”

In literature, Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in six words. He wrote: “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”

In each case, brevity sparked emotion and analysis — proof that communication isn’t always about the quantity of words, but the space they leave behind.

Media and Meaning in the 21st Century
The Pope’s statement is also a case study in how we, as a global audience, engage with meaning. We often expect quick answers, direct responses, and clarity — especially from public figures. But ambiguity can be powerful.

The fact that “Many” became newsworthy says as much about our hunger for meaning as it does about the Pope himself. It highlights how language, context, and perception intersect in a digital-first age. In some ways, it’s a reflection of our own uncertainties: when leaders are vague, we often fill in the blanks with our own hopes, fears, and interpretations.

Conclusion: A Message Meant to Be Interpreted?
Whether Pope Leo XIV’s one-word reply was a deliberate act of poetic simplicity or just an impromptu moment, it clearly struck a chord.

For some, it was deeply meaningful.

For others, it was puzzling or even frustrating.

For all, it was a reminder that meaning can come from minimalism.

In a time where every phrase is scrutinized and debated, perhaps the most powerful messages are the ones that leave space for reflection.

Maybe, in the end, that was the point all along.

An intense day of emergency is underway in Asia following a violent 7.7 magnitude earthquake that shook vast regions of Myanmar, southern China and northern Thailand early Monday morning , leaving a preliminary toll of dozens dead, hundreds injured and numerous people trapped under the rubble.

The quake struck at 3:42 a.m. local time , with its epicenter in a mountainous area on the border between Myanmar and Yunnan Province, China , at a depth of approximately 10 kilometers, according to data from the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The quake was also strongly felt in the cities of Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai in Thailand, where mass evacuations were reported.

Myanmar , the worst-hit country so far, has declared a state of emergency in several regions after reporting at least 48 deaths and more than 300 injuries , with dozens more missing. In the city of Lashio , buildings have completely collapsed, and rescue teams are working against the clock to find survivors in the rubble.

“We heard a loud noise, and suddenly everything started shaking. The walls cracked, the ground moved like waves,” said Myo Thant , a resident of the affected area, who managed to escape with his family before their home collapsed.

A devastating accident between a van and a truck turned Tuesday night (13) into a scene of tragedy on BR-251, in Grão Mogol, in the North of Minas Gerais. Nine people died and another 12 were injured in a head-on collision that shocked the country and mobilized rescue, forensic and investigation teams.

Now, authorities are trying to understand what caused the impact and whether it could have been avoided.

Truck invaded the wrong way, confirms expert opinion
The first analyses carried out by the Civil Police of Minas Gerais (PCMG) indicate that the truck involved in the accident invaded the opposite lane of the highway, causing a direct collision with the van that was transporting workers returning to Ceará.

“It was a determining factor,” said expert Hugo Leonardo. Tire marks, drag marks and grooves in the asphalt were fundamental to this finding, according to the experts.

The official conclusion will be presented in a technical report, expected to be completed within 30 days, which may hold those involved legally liable.

Road conditions may have contributed

At the time of the accident, it was raining moderately and the road was wet — conditions that may have contributed to the loss of control of the truck. Fog and possible speeding are also being investigated.

According to the Federal Highway Police (PRF), the stretch is known for its high accident rate, especially on rainy days.

The history of the highway and vehicle maintenance will also be considered in the investigation.

The impact of the accident was immediate and fatal. Of the 21 people involved:

The accident mobilized ambulances from SAMU, Fire Department, Civil Police and PRF, who worked throughout the night to rescue and remove the bodies.

The PCMG released preliminary data on fatal victims, without revealing names. The dead include men and women aged between 4 and 52, from different states in the Northeast:

Boy, 4 years old – Uberlândia (MG)

Man, 29 years old – Crato (CE)

Man, 33 years old – Trindade (PE)

An elderly man who has not yet been identified

The identification was made possible thanks to facial recognition and fingerprint collection. The unidentified victim had no documents and, according to forensic doctor Aline Brito, authorities are already cross-referencing information with civil identification databases.

Where did the passengers come from?
The van was carrying 19 seasonal workers who had embarked from cities on the borders of Goiás and Minas Gerais — such as Prata, Araguari and Catalão. They had finished a day of work harvesting fruits and vegetables and were heading towards Ceará, where they would spend some time with their families.

Van was irregular for interstate transport
The National Land Transport Agency (ANTT) confirmed that the vehicle did not have authorization for interstate passenger transport. The irregularity raises an alert about the conditions of clandestine transport, often used by rural workers due to the low cost.

ANTT reported that it is collaborating with the authorities and will provide all available data to assist in the investigation.

What does the truck company say?
The transport company OPR Logística, owner of the truck, lamented the tragedy in an official statement. The company, which has been operating for 28 years, stated that it is at the disposal of the authorities and reinforced that safety is a priority in its operations.

For now, no information has been released about the driver’s history or the mechanical conditions of the vehicle at the time of the accident.

Investigation and next steps
The Grão Mogol Police Station has opened an investigation to determine the case. The expert report will be a key element in determining criminal and civil liability for the accident.

The police are working with the hypothesis that the truck driver was reckless, but other possibilities have not been ruled out.

The tragedy reignites the debate about the conditions of Brazilian roads, the use of illegal transport and the inspection of heavy vehicles on federal highways.

We are all inherently exceptional and undeniably gorgeous from birth. The fact that no two people are precisely alike is one of the most amazing aspects about being human, and as time goes on, we as a species are getting much better at embracing and appreciating our diversity.

Asher and Winry, Nicole Lucas Hallson’s two lovely children, are being raised by their mother. Her larger goal is to disprove the notion that our flaws make us flawless and to reinforce the idea that her daughter, who was born with a rare birthmark, is beautiful in her own right.

Congenital melanocytic nevi, or CMN, is an incredibly unusual birthmark that little Winry Hall was born with, according to Good Morning America. Consequently, Winry’s uncommon birthmark, which spans a quarter of her face, makes her, at 13 months old, look different from the kids in her immediate vicinity.

After the birth in February 2021, Nicole, a teacher, was quite worried and taken aback when the nurses gave Winry to her.

She didn’t anticipate her daughter having a skin disease because her pregnancy was fairly normal. “I had the good fortune to have a typical pregnancy! I experienced morning sickness from around weeks 8 through 14, but as soon as that subsided, I felt fantastic until the last month, when fatigue set in,” she says on her blog.

Nicole believes that the medical staff and nurses were the ones who initially noticed the CMN. However, their only words were congratulations and applause for such a quick and easy birth.

Nicole was also reassured by them that Winry’s vital signs appeared OK. Nicole looked at Winry after she had taken a bit to nurse her newborn daughter. Initially, Winry’s bewildered mother believed the large mark on her skull to be only a bruise.

My spouse and I instantly realised that it was not a bruise at that point. Nicole remarks, “I liked the name and thought it looked a lot like a mole.” Nicole has expressed her emotions on her blog. “Worry was the primary sensation I had when some of the labor’s thrill subsided. I knew it looked like a mole, but I had never seen anything like it, so I was concerned it may hurt her. As of right now, none of the nurses had mentioned anything, but I didn’t know what to ask, so I just cuddled with her and showed her my love.

According to a National Organisation for Rare Diseases research, CMN can appear as black or light brown patches on any area of the body and can virtually always be any size.

In an effort to inspire people that being a little different is something to be proud of rather than ashamed of, Nicole and her partner now want to emphasise their daughter’s difference.

“I like sharing because, for many, this is the first time they’ve seen a birthmark like hers,” Hall remarked. “Parents can have a good conversation with their children about how different kids can be, or they can see their child represented if they have a child who looks like Winry or has a birthmark of any kind.” Winry’s parents take care of her skin because they believe that her birthmark may raise her risk of melanoma, or skin cancer.

However, Nicole stated that her greater concern is that her daughter may experience bullying when she gets older.

“Our first concern is for her well-being. We need to watch her while applying sunscreen. I take extra care with headgear and anything like that,” Hall told Good Morning America. “I know that when we grow up, our dermatologist will most likely be our best friend.”

In terms of her perspective on the world, Winry is a content, vivacious little girl who doesn’t give a damn. Put simply, she embodies all that a baby ought to be. She absolutely exudes happiness. She practically never stops yelling or giggling,” Hall remarked. She truly is the happiest infant I have ever laid eyes on. She already talks a lot. We haven’t said much yet, but she’s telling it like it is and showing signs of sassiness, so I predict that things will get heated quickly.

At Newsner, we all believe that diversity should be honoured rather than made fun of or denigrated. We consider Winry to be a really unique young child with a lovely soul.

As the first rays of dawn crept over the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, Emily Dawson hurried through her usual morning routine. Her coffee was brewing, and her toast was crisping to a perfect golden brown. She glanced at the clock and realized she was right on schedule. Today was an important day at work, and being late was not an option. But as fate would have it, the universe had other plans.

After gathering her belongings, Emily hurried out of her apartment and into the brisk morning air. Her commute was typically a smooth 30-minute drive, but as she merged onto the highway, she noticed the traffic was heavier than usual. Cars were at a standstill, stretching as far as the eye could see. Her heart sank as she realized that she would inevitably be late for the big meeting she had been preparing for all week.

Frustrated but determined to make the best of the situation, Emily tried to contact her boss to explain the delay. However, her call went straight to voicemail. Plan B was to send a quick text message, but she knew that without evidence, her excuse might fall on skeptical ears. With this in mind, she decided to capture a photo of the traffic jam to provide a visual explanation for her tardiness.

Emily reached for her phone, rolled down the window, and snapped a picture of the congested highway. As she reviewed the image to ensure it clearly depicted the situation, something unusual caught her eye. In the background of the photo, barely noticeable at first glance, was a peculiar sight — a man dressed in a vintage suit, standing on the median, staring directly at her camera with an enigmatic expression.

Perplexed and intrigued, Emily zoomed in on the photograph to get a closer look. The man appeared to be from a different era, with his attire resembling that of the 1920s. His suit was impeccably tailored, complete with a bow tie and a fedora hat. Despite the chaotic traffic surrounding him, he seemed unfazed, as if he were a ghostly apparition from the past.

Emily’s imagination began to race, weaving stories of time travel and parallel universes. She wondered who this mysterious man could be and how he ended up in the middle of a modern-day traffic jam. Her curiosity piqued, she decided to investigate further. She glanced at the road ahead, realizing that traffic would not be moving anytime soon, and took this opportunity to step out of her car for a closer look.

As Emily approached the median, she scanned the area for the man in the vintage suit, but he was nowhere to be found. It was as if he had vanished into thin air. She asked a few nearby drivers if they had seen anything unusual, but they all shook their heads, oblivious to the extraordinary sight she had captured.

Eventually, traffic began to clear, and Emily had to return to her car and resume her journey. She finally managed to contact her boss and, with a mix of excitement and bewilderment, explained the reason for her delay, sharing the intriguing photo as evidence.

Though she arrived late, Emily’s tale of the mysterious man in the vintage suit became the talk of the office. Her colleagues were enthralled by the story, and theories about the man’s identity and origins flew around the room like wildfire. That morning’s strange encounter transformed what could have been a mundane day into one of intrigue and wonder, leaving Emily with a story she would remember for the rest of her life.

In the picturesque mountainside town of Eldermount, a place known for its breathtaking views and tranquil ambiance, an unexpected catastrophe struck that would send ripples of shock and despair throughout the community. Eldermount had always been a haven for tourists and locals alike, with its lush green landscapes and the iconic stone observation deck that offered an unparalleled panoramic view of the valley below. It was on this very deck that serenity turned into chaos on a fateful afternoon when the earth beneath began to tremble violently.

The day had started like any other in late autumn, with a crisp breeze brushing through the golden leaves, and the sun casting a warm glow over the town. The observation deck, bustling with visitors eager to capture the stunning vistas, was alive with chatter and laughter. Families, couples, and solo adventurers were scattered across the stone platform, some peering through binoculars while others posed for photos with the majestic backdrop.

Then, without warning, a low rumble permeated the air, growing louder and more intense with each passing second. It was as if the mountain itself was awakening from a deep slumber. At first, people glanced around, puzzled by the strange vibration underfoot. But confusion quickly morphed into fear as the ground began to shake more violently. The realization hit all at once: an earthquake—something the residents of this region had never experienced so severely.

Panic erupted on the observation deck. The once-stable stone structure, aged and weathered by time, groaned under the relentless pressure of the quaking earth. People screamed and clutched the railings, their faces masks of terror. The once-solid stones shifted ominously, the sound of grinding rocks echoing through the air.

Amidst the chaos, a young woman named Clara found herself frozen in fear, her camera slipping from her grasp and shattering against the stones. Her heart pounded in her chest as she looked around, witnessing the pandemonium unfold. Nearby, an elderly couple held each other tightly, their eyes wide with disbelief. Parents desperately reached for their children, trying to guide them to safety.

The ground heaved again, more violently this time, and with a deafening crack, a section of the observation deck gave way. Stones tumbled down the mountainside, disappearing into the abyss below. Clara and others near the edge scrambled backward, frantically trying to distance themselves from the crumbling precipice. The deck, once a symbol of strength and beauty, was now a perilous trap.

Screams pierced the air as people stumbled and fell, grabbing onto anything solid they could find. The mountain seemed to roar, its fury unleashed upon the unsuspecting crowd. Dust and debris filled the air, blurring vision and choking those who scrambled to escape.

In the midst of the disaster, acts of heroism emerged. Strangers reached out to one another, pulling each other to safety, forming human chains to guide the injured away from danger. Clara, snapping out of her initial paralysis, helped an elderly man who had stumbled, steadying him as they navigated the uneven ground.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the shaking subsided, leaving behind a scene of devastation and disbelief. The observation deck, once a cherished landmark, lay in ruins, a testament to the unpredictable power of nature. Emergency services arrived swiftly, tending to the injured and accounting for the missing.

Eldermount, though scarred, would endure. Its residents, bound by the shared experience of that terrifying day, would rebuild and recover, their community spirit stronger than ever. The stone observation deck, now a memory, would be remembered not only for its tragic collapse but also for the resilience it inspired in the hearts of those who were there.

In an unassuming coastal town, nestled between jagged cliffs and endless horizons, a community of fishermen and marine enthusiasts lived harmoniously with the ocean’s wonders. Among them was a team of marine biologists who dedicated their lives to understanding and conserving the secrets of the deep. Little did they know that one particular day would test their resolve and redefine their relationship with one of the ocean’s most misunderstood creatures: the shark.

The morning was crisp, with the salty breeze whispering promises of adventure. The team set out on their small research vessel, equipped with the latest technology and a shared passion for marine life. Their mission was to track and study the migratory patterns of sharks in the region, a task they had undertaken successfully for several months. However, today was different. As they navigated the cerulean waters, a distress call crackled over the radio, diverting their attention.

A local fisherman had reported an unusual sight: a massive shark entangled in a web of discarded fishing nets near the harbor. The news sent a jolt through the team, transforming their mission into a rescue operation. They knew the dangers posed by the nets, not only to the entrapped shark but to the ecosystem at large. Without hesitation, they altered their course, steering the boat towards the harbor with determination.

Upon arrival, the scene was as dire as described. The shark, a grand specimen of the majestic Great White, thrashed about in desperation, its sleek body ensnared by the ghostly tendrils of the net. The team moved swiftly, donning their wetsuits and diving into the water. They approached cautiously, aware that a frightened shark could pose significant danger.

Time was of the essence. The entangled creature could succumb to exhaustion or drown if they didn’t act quickly. As one marine biologist steadied the shark, another began cutting through the thick ropes binding it. There was a palpable tension in the air, a mix of urgency and awe as they worked to free the ocean’s apex predator.

With each cut, the shark’s movements became more frenzied, a testament to its instinctual fight for survival. The team maintained their composure, their coordinated efforts a dance of precision and care. Finally, with one decisive snip, the last of the netting gave way. The shark, now unburdened, paused momentarily, its dark eyes meeting the gaze of its rescuers.

Then, in a moment that defied logic, the shark did the unthinkable. Instead of darting away into the depths, it lingered, swimming in gentle circles around the divers. It was as if the creature understood the magnitude of what had transpired, acknowledging the humans who had risked much to save it.

Those witnessing the scene both above and below the water were spellbound, the encounter forging an unspoken bond between species. The shark’s unexpected behavior challenged preconceived notions, highlighting the capacity for connection amidst the vast divide of human and marine life.

As the shark finally vanished into the deep blue, the team surfaced, their hearts full with a renewed sense of purpose. This encounter transcended the boundaries of science, becoming a poignant reminder of the delicate balance within the ocean’s realm and the role every individual plays in its preservation. The day’s events would become a tale of inspiration, shared across the town and beyond, urging others to look beyond fear and embrace understanding and coexistence.
