Russia has legalized outright lawlessness: Ukrainian homes will be taken over by colonizers

Mass property seizures in occupied territories are now officially legal.

Occupation authorities have been given the power to declare homes “ownerless” and hand them over to other people. The rule will remain in force until 2030.

There are no clear criteria, meaning it targets everyone — those who fled because of the war and even those who still live in their homes. This was reported by Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation.

The seized apartments are set to be handed to occupants — Russian soldiers, security forces and officials being brought into the captured regions to accelerate their russification and change the demographic makeup.

23-year-old American Climber, Balin Miller, Dies while climbing a 3000-foot granite wall in Yosemite National Park.

American climber Balin Miller has d+ed at the age of 23 while attempting a climb in Yosemite National Park, his family confirmed on Thursday.

Miller was on El Capitan, the park’s iconic 3,000-foot granite wall immortalized by Alex Honnold’s Free Solo, when the fatal accident occurred during his ascent of the “Sea of Dreams” route. His mother, Jeanine Moorman, announced the news in a post on the website of VIRR, the family’s outdoor goods company.

“This is unthinkable,” she wrote. “At this time, we do not yet know all the details. What we do know is that the world has lost an extraordinary soul, and our hearts are shattered.”

Moorman remembered her son as a free spirit with “a touch of Robin Williams’ wild energy,” describing him as curious, strategic, and endlessly playful.

Born into a family that embraced the outdoors, Miller was introduced to climbing by his father in the mountains of Alaska and grew into a fearless adventurer who scaled cliffs and ranges around the world.

Living a nomadic lifestyle, often out of his silver Prius, he pieced together a shoestring income to fund his passion. “Balin was full of life, a true wild card at heart,” his mother wrote.

A beloved figure in the climbing community, Miller became popular for his TikTok livestreams and was affectionately nicknamed the “orange tent guy” for his bright gear. His distinctive glitter makeup also drew attention; he once compared it to “a warrior putting makeup on before going into battle,” in an interview with Climbing magazine earlier this year.

In June, he achieved what is believed to be the first solo climb of the Slovak Direct route on Denali (Mount McKinley), North America’s tallest peak. He had only recently returned from an ice and alpine expedition in Alaska and had long dreamed of conquering a Yosemite lead.

His death coincided with the first day of the U.S. federal government shutdown, a development that left many national parks at risk of closure or reduced services.

Lagos Government Endorses Tacha’s Guinness World Record Makeover Challenge.

The Lagos State Government has pledged full support for media personality and entrepreneur Tacha Akide as she attempts to break the Guinness World Record for the most cosmetic makeovers by one person in 24 hours.

The challenge will headline the Tacha Beauty Festival, a three-day celebration scheduled for October 10–12, 2025, at the John Randle Centre for Yoruba Culture & History in Lagos.

Tacha plans to complete 150 makeovers within a single day, a feat that would spotlight Nigeria’s vibrant beauty industry if certified by Guinness World Records.

Special Adviser to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Tourism, Idris Aregbe, described the initiative as more than just a record bid. “It is a statement that Nigerian creativity and excellence can compete anywhere in the world,” he said, noting that the festival aims to empower talent and celebrate culture while showcasing Lagos as a hub for innovation.

According to a Sunday statement, the event will blend commerce, culture, and creativity, offering workshops, masterclasses, vendor exhibitions, business development sessions, and cultural showcases.

Highlights include industry-led training in makeup, skincare, wellness, and fashion, alongside a vendor village for emerging beauty brands and networking platforms for entrepreneurs.

Organisers say the festival is designed to be both entertainment and an incubator for talent and business opportunities, aligning with Lagos State’s broader efforts to boost youth-driven innovation and economic growth.

Tacha, a former reality TV star, said the attempt is a chance to project Nigerian excellence on a global stage and inspire young creatives to dream big.

Nigeria has seen a wave of recent Guinness World Record achievements. Only last week, Chef Hilda Baci secured the record for the largest serving of Nigerian-style jollof rice, weighing 8,780 kilogrammes, an accomplishment officially confirmed by Guinness World Records.

Doja Cat Stuns at 2025 VMAs, Bites Into ‘Lipstick’ to Announce MAC Deal

Doja Cat once again proved she knows how to own the spotlight at the MTV VMAs on Sunday, September 7, 2025.

The singer turned heads in a striking off-the-shoulder mini dress—a pale yellow and baby blue checkered number accented with pink crystal embellishments. She paired the daring look with butter-yellow sky-high heels and a sparkling $6,000 crystal lipstick-shaped purse by Judith Leiber.

But it wasn’t just her outfit that had people talking. Doja completed her glam with blonde voluminous waves, bold pink earrings, and a swipe of red lipstick—before pulling out the lipstick from her clutch and biting it.

To the shock of many, it wasn’t real makeup at all. It was a chocolate creation by pastry chef Amaury Guicho, and the stunt doubled as the reveal that Doja Cat is officially MAC Cosmetics’ newest global ambassador.

“I’ve been a MAC girl forever, and now I get to take that love to the global stage,” Doja shared. “Makeup is my paint, my armor, my way of creating characters — and MAC has always stood for that kind of artistry and freedom. Together, we’re going to push boundaries and make people see beauty in a whole new way.”

MAC’s global creative director, Nicola Formichetti, praised Doja’s fearless style, while global GM Aïda Moudachirou-Rebois added: “Not only is Doja one of the most exciting voices of her generation, but her artistry and fearless spirit make her the perfect MAC partner.”

Doja later posted her VMAs look to Instagram, keeping it simple with a caption

You're 20. Broke. No boyfriend. And you're depressed?

My sister… if I mistakenly wipe you Oraimo cord eee ...

Wake up. You just need a SKILL.

No money? Go learn graphics.
No job? Learn copywriting.
Always online? Learn social media management.
Good with words? Learn voice-over or content writing.
Love beauty? Learn makeup or nail tech.
Love talking? Start a podcast or YouTube channel.

This is not the season to be sitting and sobbing. You're not ugly — you're just unskilled right now.

And that’s FIXABLE.

A boyfriend is not a business plan.
Heartbreak won't stop rent.
“Soft life” is funded by skills, not selfies.

Better learn something that pays.
You’ll thank yourself in 6 months.
