I don’t understand.“I’m so sorry, I wish I could do something but I can’t. I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise,”.Despite being born in the US, Gomez’ father is of Mexican descent and she calls herself a ‘proud third-generation American-Mexican’.Not long after posting the video, she deleted it and uploaded a black screen with the caption: “Apparently it’s not ok to show empathy for people.”President Trump’s latest order meant 956 people were arrested in just one day, due to an immigration crackdown.

Optical illusion: Find the hidden spouse of the sailor
A classic photograph featuring a sailor looking into the distance through a telescope has been making waves online.
At first glance, the image seems to show a young man standing on the shoreline, using a telescope to scan the vast sea before him.
But if you take a closer look, you might just spot something surprising. And remember, things aren’t always as they seem — this optical illusion is trickier than it looks.
According to some, you have the vision of a hawk if you can spot the sailor’s wife in this optical illusion – only 1% of people are able to find her. Are you one of them?
In an interesting twist, the sailor is actually searching for his wife, completely unaware that she’s been right by his side the whole time!
To spot her, you’ll need to tilt your head and let your imagination work.
If you’re having trouble, don’t worry — you’re not alone. Many have struggled with this one.
Feel free to check the answer below if you’re stuck and can’t find the hidden figure.
The wife’s face is cleverly hidden between the telescope stand and the sailor’s legs. It’s not the easiest thing to spot — her face blends in with the background, making it tricky to notice at first!
From time to time, we stumble across puzzles that truly leave us stumped, and part of the fun is then sharing it with others to see who can – for lack of better words – crack the code.
Well, another such image has also surfaced on the web … one that has people busting their brains and scratching their scalps for an answer. See if you’re one of the lucky few who can see what most people can’t.
The picture below is a classic illusion; one that at first glance is as confusing as it is difficult to decipher. Of course, the great thing about such optical tricks is that once you’ve solved them, you can’t be fooled again.
The image in question hides an image within an image. So, when you look at it, what do you see?
Do you see a frog? Do you see a horse? Do you see both?
If it’s one of the first two, then we have something to tell you. Both are in the image, but that doesn’t mean you’ll be able to make them both out.
Almost everyone sees the frog in the image … but finding the horse is where things get tricky. Have a closer look.
The horse
Still don’t see it? OK, we’ll give you a hint.
The image doesn’t contain an entire horse, just the head and neck.
Found if yet? Still no?
Right … have a look over by the lily pad – it has a rather odd texture, wouldn’t you agree?
Still haven’t found it? Well … the frog’s body is the horses head. Bear that in mind and try again. Good luck!
Did you see both the horse and the frog without needing help?
If you’ve managed to see both, and the sailor’s wife, share this article on Facebook and challenge your friends and family to a bit of fun!
Jennifer Lopez sizzles in bold bikini on her snowy Aspen getaway
Shared memorable moments
The glamorous ski town of Aspen has been buzzing with A-listers lately, with stars like Bella Hadid, Mariah Carey and Heidi Klum.
Just a few weeks ago, superstar Jennifer Lopez took to Instagram to share a reel from her trip to Aspen, Colorado, giving followers a peek into her winter getaway.
The hitmaker shared a few more memorable moments from her week-long getaway, including some adorable snapshots with her 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme.
One jaw-dropping photo in particular had JLo flaunting her famous curves in a black string bikini.
To finish off the look, the singer paired the bikini with a stylish cowboy hat and cozy furry snow boots — definitely not your typical Aspen attire, but she made it work.
The reel was a perfect mix of stunning Colorado scenery and heartwarming moments, with clips of Lopez skiing and enjoying time with her family and friends.
“We’ll be back Aspen,” she captioned the post, leaving fans wondering when the next trip will be.
People couldn’t help but comment on her jaw-dropping physique, with many praising her dedication to fitness. The 55-year-old continues to wow fans, proving that age is just a number. As followers zoomed in on her photos, they couldn’t help but notice her incredible shape—her toned body and impeccable fitness left everyone in awe.
After being spotted earlier that week with Yellowstone star Kevin Costner, it looks like his iconic ranch style might be starting to rub off on Jennifer Lopez. During her Aspen trip, she made a stop at the renowned cowboy hat store Kemo Sabe, so maybe she was simply rocking some fresh new pieces from her shopping spree.
JLo’s Aspen vacation came right before her divorce from ex-husband Ben Affleck was finalized. According to USA Today, the couple called it quits in April 2024, citing “irreconcilable differences.” After just two years of marriage, they officially filed for divorce in August.
What some may not know is that this wasn’t their first time around the block. Nearly two decades ago, Lopez and Affleck were engaged, having met while filming a romantic comedy in 2002. Unfortunately, their engagement ended, with both blaming the pressure of media attention for their split.
In the aftermath of their recent divorce, Lopez spoke candidly about her emotional journey in an interview with comedian Nikki Glaser. The singer revealed she made the difficult decision to cancel her “This Is Me… Live” tour, explaining that she needed time for herself. “I was taking time off to be with my children, family, and close friends,” she shared.
Reflecting on the difficult period, Lopez added, “And I’m glad I did, because it was a really difficult time for me. Probably the hardest time of my life, but it was also the best time because I got to do that work on myself.”
While her personal life may have been challenging, Lopez’s strength and resilience continue to shine through — especially when she’s looking this stunning in a snowy paradise.
Research shows body senses death is near – it starts in nose
Humans do not like to be in the dark about things, and perhaps that is why the idea of death scares so many people. However, research shows that while death remains largely a mystery, some of the things surrounding it are becoming more and more obvious.
Keep reading to learn more.
What cannot be explained by science is often referred to as a ‘sixth sense’ by people. And sometimes, scientific research comes out which ends up confirming what humans had long suspected with their sixth sense.
According to research, when a person dies, their body immediately starts to break down. During this, putrescine is emitted into the surroundings. Putrescine is a toxic and foul smell, and humans, at a subconscious level, can recognize this as a putrefying odor. And when the human brain recognizes this scent, it immediately responds to the death.
Researcher Arnaud Wisman from the University of Kent’s School of Psychology in Canterbury, UK, and Ilan Shira from the Department of Behavioral Sciences in Arkansas’ Tech University in Russellville, Arkansas, shared that much like animals, humans can also sense scents and respond accordingly. This is a major survival tactic developed across several species. So when humans come across putrescine, consciously or subconsciously, they respond to it.
The researchers conducted experiments that show that when humans are exposed to the putrescine scent, they move away similarly to animals who also run away in similar circumstances. “We do not know why we like (or dislike) someone’s smell, and we’re usually not aware of how scent influences our emotions, preferences, and attitudes,” Wisman and Shira stated.
“It is hard to think of a scent as frightening,” other researchers have claimed. But it is not untrue that scents make people more alert about their surroundings.
Sex pheromones, which are defined as odors produced by males or females, also have a reaction on human behavior, which usually brings a reaction in another human for the purpose of mating.
“Putrescine signals a different type of message than pheromones, but people’s responses to putrescine (avoidance and hostility) do seem indeed to be the opposite of responses to many sexual pheromones,” one researcher explained.
But unlike other scents, for this one, humans are not aware they are smelling it and their response is more likely subconscious. So it seems our nose can help us figure out if there is death or perhaps ‘danger’ nearby.
It is always so fascinating to learn about how humans work and how our subconscious might be reacting to things we might not even notice! Share this with others so they can also know about this fascinating discovery.
