Snieko believes Dalton Eatherly’s arrest could become a major moment in the debate over free speech in America. The livestreamer reacted strongly after Chud Builder was arrested in Tennessee on May 13 following the shooting outside the Montgomery County Courthouse in Clarksville. During his livestream, Snieko said the situation shows that “free speech is now challenged” and argued that people are losing the rights they were promised under the Constitution. He claimed that people are too quick to punish speech, even if it involves only words. Sneekko also pointed out how some people online were comparing builder Chudd to Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist killed last year.Sneekko said:“Free speech has now been challenged in a way that it will never be able to come back from. We no longer have free speech the way we should have it. We don’t have the amendment rights that we were promised. If you can’t say words in a vacuum… by saying a word alone like this, people will get extremely upset and challenge it more.”Although Sneekko said he disagrees with many of Charlie Kirk’s views, he also said that political disagreement should never lead to violence. he adds:“Charlie Kirk was talking about mass violence. He was talking about problems within America. I disagree with everything he said. I make fun of him all the time… but I don’t think anything violent should have happened to him.”
Attempted murder charge filed against Dalton Eatherly in Montgomery County Courthouse shooting
The shooting happened Wednesday outside the Montgomery County Courthouse in Clarksville, Tennessee, according to CNN and a statement from the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office. Authorities said two people were shot during the incident, including Dalton Eatherly, known online as Chud the Builder. The second person involved has not been publicly identified.Both persons were taken to nearby hospitals. As of Wednesday evening, officials confirmed that both were in stable condition.After the shooting, authorities charged Atherley with attempted murder, use of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous crime, reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon and aggravated assault. Authorities also confirmed that he remains in custody awaiting his arraignment.Before his arrest, Eatherly spoke about the incident during a livestream. He claimed he had to defend himself after an argument with another man. During the video, she described how the man pointed at her and laughed before tension escalated between them.CNN also reported that Atherley has previously used racist language in his online videos, including calling black people “chimpanzees”. During a livestream after the shooting, the other man reportedly warned Eatherly not to say “all that chimpanzee stuff” before the fight got physical.The case has now sparked a widespread online debate over free speech, online behavior and whether offensive speech should be compared to real-world violence. While Snieko focused on constitutional rights during his response, critics online have argued that repeated hate speech can also create dangerous situations.
Rajnath; Moving forward with speed and consensus for staging: CDS
New Delhi: Defense Minister encouraged defense scientists to accelerate research and development work -Rajnath Singh “Tomorrow’s battlefield will reward those who can reduce the time between an idea, a prototype and operational deployment,” Thursday said.Addressing the Defense Strategic Dialogue Kalam and Kavach 3.0 in a video message here, Rajnath said, “The strength of a nation will depend on how fast its defense forces, laboratories and industries think and act”, underscoring the importance of self-reliance and jointness to secure strategic autonomy and be future-ready for emerging security challenges.“National security demands our preparedness, flexibility, innovation and strategic confidence,” he said.Rajnath described self-reliance as not only an economic goal but also a strategic necessity and said a nation that remains overly dependent on others for critical defense capabilities remains vulnerable in times of crisis.In the presence of Italian and Armenian envoys at the event, Minister of State for Defense Sanjay Seth told the foreign delegates that India strongly believes that global security and progress is strengthened through cooperation, trust and shared innovation. He said India’s defense exports, which were just Rs 686 crore a decade ago, have today reached a record high of Rs 38,424 crore. He said annual defense production has touched an all-time high of Rs 1.54 lakh crore in the financial year 2025-26 and reaffirmed the government’s resolve to achieve the target of defense exports of Rs 50,000 crore and defense production of Rs 3 lakh crore by 2029-30.CDS General Anil Chauhan said this while talking about Operation Sindoor in a special session in the program. indian armed forces The surge dominated metrics on all four days of the conflict.On the ‘JAI’ (Jointness, Aatmanirbharta and Innovation) triad, the CDS said as far as planned remediation is concerned, efforts in this direction have been made with “scale and pace” as India is 10-15 years behind other countries, which have already implemented such structures. “These joint structures that we are trying to create will be one of the most transformational reforms that India is undertaking...Our model was a little different. Some people had to bring laws, it was a top-down approach. I tried to work with consensus. The consensus was taking everyone along,” he said.
Prabhas spotted on Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s ‘Spirit’ sets in Kompally
Fans are waiting for another update on this Radiance Starrer ‘Spirit’ came as a surprise when a picture from the sets of the film went viral online.Months after the makers released the first look poster of Midnight New Year 2026, a new picture of Prabhas reportedly walking on the sets of the film has gone viral on a fan handle. The viral clip is believed to be from the filming location in Kompally, Hyderabad, in which the actor can be seen in a white avatar, wearing sunglasses and sandals and he has long wavy hair.While Prabhas was seen casually walking on the film sets, his crew members and security personnel of the area were seen watching him.The viral visuals have increased the anticipation for Spirit, which is one of Prabhas’ most awaited film projects. director Sandeep Reddy VangaThis film has been in the news since its announcement and the controversy that arose after it. Deepika PadukoneDropped out of the film due to alleged scheduling conflict.While the makers have kept the plot details largely under wraps, ‘Spirit’ is expected to feature Prabhas in a powerful and intense role.The shooting of the film began in November 2025 and the team has managed to keep most of the details of the film under wraps, barring this leak. Many stalwarts from the entertainment industry attended the mahurat ceremony of the action entertainer. Mega star Chiranjeevi also attended the event as a special guest.In the first poster of the film, actress Trupti Dimri is seen helping injured Prabhas to light a cigarette.Last year, on the occasion of Prabhas’ birthday in October, Vanga had shared audio teasers of the film in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam, revealing Prakash Raj And Vivek as the lead actor. The teaser ends with Prabhas saying, “I have a bad habit since childhood.” According to reports, Prabhas will play the role of an IPS officer who is currently behind the bars. Meanwhile, the actor Vivek Oberoi He also has an important role in this film to be released in 2026.While ‘Spirit’ marks Vanga’s primary commercial association with Prabhas, the director has already worked with Trupti in ‘Animal’, releasing in 2023, co-starring Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna.‘Spirit’ starring Prabhas and Trupti Dimri in the lead pair will be released in theaters on March 5, 2027.
The failed radar experiment that changed the world
He developed complex mathematical techniques for filtering out cosmic noise, specifically using something called the Fast Fourier Transform. Rather than becoming obsolete, these formulas proved vital to high-speed indoor networking. This unexpected turn addressed the multipath interference problem and laid the groundwork for technologies such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Today, billions of people around the world depend on this breakthrough for connectivity.
a fail radar experiment Helped invent Wi-Fi
According to the report published by CSIROThe adventure began at Parkes Observatory. Researchers there use radio telescopes, which work like radio interferometry, to detect pulses from far-flung parts of the universe. But they faced a challenge: resonance. These were radio waves bouncing off cosmic dust, and they blurred the data. To deal with this problem, a special technology came up which processed the signals simultaneously on multi-carrier modulation.Although the desired stars were not found by the end of his experiment, another discovery emerged. The team’s signal-processing mathematics proved useful for reducing multipath distortion bouncing off walls and furniture in offices on Earth. As a result, this insight led to a patent in 1992 that underlies the fast and stable Wi-Fi we rely on today.
How the Fast Fourier Transform Saved Wi-Fi
As reported in the journal Wireless LANs and Evolution, at the heart of this breakthrough was the Fast Fourier Transform. In radio astronomy, it helped separate signals from background noise. Nowadays, in wireless communications, this mathematical principle lets Wi-Fi routers divide a signal into multiple smaller subchannels. This segmentation prevents data collisions when signals bounce off walls and other surfaces indoors. Interestingly, without this astronomical device that once seemed to fail, wireless speeds would be very slow and unreliable for streaming or professional tasks.
How did a ‘failed’ experiment go global?
Once the CSIRO team made their initial discovery, they turned their findings into a prototype of a wireless local area network, or WLAN, the National Museum of Australia reports. This technology was integrated into the IEEE 802.11 standard, known today as Wi-Fi. What started as a ‘failed’ experiment turned into something incredibly valuable. It entered into significant legal agreements with major technology companies, firmly establishing Australia as the birthplace of modern wireless connectivity.
Star-search principles power Bluetooth
Historically, radar technology for radio astronomy set the principles that now power both Wi-Fi and modern Bluetooth. Radio waves interact with their surroundings in specific ways. What astronomers considered at the time a commercial pivot actually paved the way for our wireless world today. Devices now connect without cables, transforming digital communications and global trade.
HC seeks government’s stand on Congress’s 7, Jantar Mantar Road petition
New Delhi: Delhi HC on Thursday sought response from the Center and Delhi government on a petition. Indian National Congress Demand to execute a sale deed in favor of the party for its former headquarters at 7, Jantar Mantar Road.Justice Purushindra Kumar Kaurav issued notice to the authorities but refused to pass any interim order. Even as senior lawyer Abhishek Singhvi, appearing for AICC, urged the HC to ensure that the premises are not allotted to anyone else, the court said it would first examine whether the petition was maintainable or not.Justice Kaurav said the petitioner will have to satisfy sustainability before seeking interim relief. “Let’s see what the government’s reaction is. You may have to file a civil suit. This appears to be going out of bounds,” the judge said.Singhvi argued that INC was an allottee who had owned the property for decades. “I have been asking repeatedly for execution of the conveyance deed. There is no denial. There is no response. I have been in possession for 70 years. I have all the documents and payments. They should not allot it to anyone else,” he told the HC.The Congress said it has been in possession of a portion of the property since February 1946, which was allotted in 1956. He had paid Rs 6.1 lakh in 1959 for the sale consideration. The plea said that since 2017, it has made representations to the Delhi government, which is responsible for the management of the property, seeking execution of the sale deed, but to no avail.
How did Satheesan emerge as the choice of Kerala Chief Minister?
Rahul Gandhi After meeting former KPCC chiefs and senior leaders on Tuesday afternoon, a significant contingent of party alumni met him at 10, Janpath late at 10 pm. VM Sudheeran, a well-known voice in favor of VD Satheesan, was the last person who is understood to have been heard by the Gandhi family during the detailed deliberations to arrive at the CM selection.Hours later on Wednesday, Sudheeran publicly stressed the need to decide the CM in line with “public sentiments”. A few hours further down, Rahul had his final consultation Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge finalized the decision, although it was kept secret.Sources said KC Venugopal lost in the final stage. The Kharge-Rahul chat ousted the powerful AICC manager and Rahul confidant. And barely any time had passed before even he realized the disappointing turn of events – the first but fatal blow after Venugopal entered the race after maximum MLAs supported him in front of AICC observers on May 7.
But his removal does not necessarily seal the deal that can be struck down. Here, Ramesh Chennithala, always the “compromising” pole of the three-way race, remained a possibility. All eyes were on Thursday morning when the decision was to be made public.At 10 am, Rahul called Venugopal for talks at his residence in Sunehri Bagh and they locked horns for over an hour, including Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. There, the confessor was clearly informed about the “decision-making process” – a shorthand for the factors that resulted in Satheesan being selected before him.However, the deal was still limited to the Enchanted Realm. Even the party managers who went to Kerala did not know whether it would be Satheesan or Chennithala.Half an hour later, Kharge called a meeting of AICC state in-charge Deepa Dasmunshi and state observers Ajay Maken and Mukul Wasnik. There, the final plan was unveiled and passed for public dissemination.Venugopal is out. But this was a direct leap into the generational change of state leadership. There will be no middle, “compromise” candidate in Chennithala. Apparently calls came in to calm the veteran down.Half an hour later, a press conference was scheduled for 12 noon. And there, Maken, Dasmunshi, Wasnik and Jairam Ramesh declared that it was Satisan.“Public sentiment” became the battle cry of the pro-Sateesan partisans and the common people brigade as lobbying for the chief minister’s post continued on the streets and social media for nine days. The same argument was also made by allies IUML, RSP and Kerala Congress, who questioned the sole reliance on the support of MLAs. Rahul and Priyanka were flooded with emails, which also included mention of Wayanad Lok Sabha seat, where IUML has a strong votebase. Satheesan’s all-round pace cannot be ignored.And when Rahul, instead of closing the deliberations, decided to pick the brains of more state colleagues, Satheesan was clearly in serious thought. Pressure from Sudheeran, K Muraleedharan and, according to some insiders, veterans AK Antony and Priyanka changed the situation.

president of france Emmanuel Macron He is once again facing online rumors after claims about his wife were made in a new book. brigitte macronEnraged by alleged messages sent to Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani. The claims spread quickly online after conservative commentator Candace Owens responded to the story during her podcast this week. The controversy began when journalist Florian Tardif discussed details of his newly released book An (almost) perfect couple During an interview with RTL France on 12 May. Tardif claimed that Brigitte Macron slapped the French president after seeing a message he allegedly sent Farahani, which reportedly read, “I find you very beautiful.” The story drew attention to a viral video from last year that showed Brigitte Macron pushing Emmanuel Macron as he disembarked from a plane in Vietnam. At the time, Macron dismissed the moment and said the pair were only joking.Candace Owens reacted strongly to the latest report during her Wednesday podcast. Political commentators questioned the claims and suggested they did not believe the story.Owens said, “As everyone knows Emmanuel Macron is gay. So it’s absolutely unbelievable, as it is at first glance, that Brigitte Macron and Emmanuel Macron are arguing because he’s messaging some hot actress, but that’s what they’re going along with.”
Candace Owens says Brigitte Macron trial could be held in June
according to le parisienSources close to Brigitte Macron denied the claims made in Florian Tardif’s book. A source reportedly said the French first lady flatly rejected the story and insisted she never checks her husband’s phone. Actress Golshifteh Farahani has previously denied rumors linking her to a romance with Emmanuel Macron.Even as the controversy continues online, Candace Owens is still involved in a legal battle with the French first couple. Last year, Emmanuelle and Brigitte Macron filed a defamation lawsuit against Owens in Delaware after he repeatedly claimed Brigitte Macron was born a male. Owens later released a video series called becoming brigitteWhere he made many controversial and unverified allegations about the couple.During her latest podcast, Owens hinted that she may revisit the topic before the court hearing, which she said is expected to take place in June.Owens said, “You know, the court has just been filed. I think the June meeting is there. I’m looking forward to it. I hope that me and Brigitte get a chance to meet in person one day. I think it should happen.”Earlier this year, several people were convicted in France in a cyberbullying case involving online abuse targeted at Brigitte Macron. Owens reacted to the news on social media and continued to criticize the French first lady despite the ongoing trial. In another controversial claim made last year, Owens also alleged that the Macron family “paid for his murder”, although he did not provide evidence to support the statement.
The present system allows the government to choose the CEC, EC of its choice.
New Delhi: Questioning the appointment process of the Chief Election Commissioner/Election Commissioners, where a panel comprising the PM, a Cabinet minister and the Leader of the Opposition selects the candidate, the Supreme Court on Thursday said the current system allows the government to appoint a person of its choice as two out of three members will favor it and asked the government why it is “pretending about independence” in the appointment process. It was said that instead of the minister, an independent person should be made a part of the panel.Citing the Supreme Court’s earlier direction that the panel should include the PM, CJI and the LOP, a bench of Justices Dipankar Gupta and Satish Chandra Sharma said it was not necessary that the CJI participate in the process, but an independent person would have to be a part of it or the presence of the LOP would become merely decorative. It said that when a CBI Director is appointed by an independent panel comprising the PM, CJI and LOP, why should not the same practice be followed for the CEC/EC, which is all the more important as the institution is involved in maintaining democracy and ensuring free and fair elections in the country.Although Attorney General K Venkataramani said that the neutrality and independence of the CEC/EC arises from their functioning after their appointment, the bench said that it started with the appointment process itself. The court said that the Election Commission should not only act neutrally but also appear neutral.
SC seeks records on ‘hasty’ appointment of two ECs
“Why should a Cabinet minister be a part of this? Let us assume the ruling party has 300 MPs. The PM picks 25 of his best. Now you micromanage it again and bring in one of the 25. Why? Then why do you include the Leader of the Opposition in it? He is decorative. A minister will never go against the PM. It will always be decided by 2:1. Why this pretense of independence in the body,” the bench asked. Asked.The court is examining the validity of the law which was created after the Supreme Court passed orders that the appointments would be made by a panel of the PM, CJI and LOP to bring independence in the process.Deliberations on the search, selection and appointment of Gyanesh Kumar (now CEC) and SS Sandhu as Election Commissioner in 2024 came under question, with the bench asking the Center to bring before it the original records.The Supreme Court said that the CJI is part of the panel for the appointment of CBI director. It said that the role of the Election Commission is more important than that of the CBI because it is involved in maintaining democracy. The bench said, “We do not say that there should be a CJI. But why should there not be an independent member? Why should it be from the ministry?”
Shardul Thakur discusses Hardik Pandya’s prolonged absence amid trade rumors
Shardul Thakur has responded to the growing speculation over Hardik Pandya’s future at Mumbai Indians by quashing rumors of the MI captain’s transfer after the team’s six-wicket win over Punjab Kings on May 14.
Speaking at the post-match press conference, Shardul said that social media talk should largely be limited to social media and clarified that Hardik is currently unavailable due to injury.
Shardul said, “There is a lot of talk on social media. Some are true and some are false. But in the end it is the team management that takes the decision.”
PBKS vs MI: highlighted | Achievement:
Hardik did not accompany the team to Dharamshala for the Punjab clash and has now missed Mumbai’s last three matches in the Indian Premier League 2026 season.
The MI captain’s absence has fueled rumors of unrest within the franchise, with speculation that Hardik could be traded to Chennai Super Kings. The news and fan conversations have intensified regarding the alleged close relationship between CSK CEO Kasi Vishwanathan and former India captain MS Dhoni.
Hardik has also been linked with franchises like Delhi Capitals after Mumbai’s disappointing season.
However, Shardul insisted that the all-rounder’s absence was entirely injury-related and revealed that Hardik was currently undergoing rehabilitation in Mumbai.
“If we talk about Hardik Pandya specifically, he had an injury and did not travel with the team. He traveled to Raipur, but he was not able to play there. He is now in Mumbai training. I am hopeful that he will return to action in Kolkata and play games.”
“We always miss a player of his caliber when he doesn’t play,” he said.
Mumbai will face Kolkata Knight Riders on May 20 at Eden Gardens.
Hardik has faced a lot of difficulties IPL 2026 campaign as both captain and player. This season he has scored only 146 runs with the bat at a strike rate of 136, while with the ball he has taken only four wickets at an average of 61.
Despite the absence of Hardik Pandya and vice-captain Suryakumar Yadav on Thursday. Mumbai Indians managed to defeat Punjab Kings by 6 wickets. While chasing the target of 201 runs, Tilak Verma stood up and gave victory to the team by hitting a powerful six on the last ball.

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s settlement may not end the drama for Taylor Swift ahead of her wedding
Blake Lively And the Justin Baldoni saga is technically over. Except that’s not really the case. And with Taylor Swift’s wedding reportedly just weeks away, things are about to get very complicated, very fast.
Taylor Swift and Blake Lively’s friendship drama intensifies after Justin Baldoni case is settled
The agreement was reached about two weeks before jury selection was to begin on May 18. No hearing. No jury. No dramatic courtroom showdown. A judge had already dismissed ten of Lively’s thirteen claims – including sexual harassment and defamation, with only three remaining: retaliation, aiding and abetting retaliation, and breach of contract. None of this was against Baldoni personally, but rather against his production company and a PR firm.The terms of the settlement have not been confirmed, and claims are already circulating that Lively walked away with no cash. Baldoni’s lawyer, for his part, said his client was “excited”. Make of that what you will.This is where things go wrong. The Baldoni case dragged Taylor Swift into it, whether she wanted to or not. Private conversations between Swift and Lively were revealed in court documents, and insiders say Taylor felt “exposed and violated”, and it crossed a line.The result has been in the making for months. Sources say Taylor “no longer trusts Blake or Ryan” and wants a “drama-free day.” An insider put it bluntly: “He’s not invited. Period.”Despite everything, Blake is reportedly confident that the friendship can be saved and has already picked out a dress for Taylor’s wedding. Sources say that she “sees herself in the inner circle as essential, not optional”, pointing to the fact that she was around when Taylor and Travis first got together.Bold. Very courageous.With Taylor and Travis’ big day reportedly getting closer, with most reports pointing to New York on July 3, the question of the guest list isn’t going away. Blake was not included in the alleged bachelorette party plans, instead Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, the Haim sisters, Brittany Mahomes, and Kylie Kelce were reportedly on that list.If you’re not on the bachelor’s list, your chances of marriage aren’t looking great.The matter was resolved. There was no chaos. Blake Lively is here dress shopping for a wedding she may not be invited to, while Taylor Swift is reportedly trying to keep her big day completely drama-free.Travis Kelce is trying to get married right now. Honestly, same.
