THEIR CUSTOMS, AND WE MUST RESPECT THEM
A video has sparked controversy in Pakistan, showing the assistant commissioner of Sadiqabad leading a crackdown on illegal parking. The footage captures him and his team puncturing the tires of motorcycles and cars parked in violation of traffic rules. The online backlash was swift, with many calling the action excessive and unfair, particularly for low-income motorists.
But before we get outraged, we should ask ourselves: is it really that different from what happens in the West? Here, they don’t slash your tires, but they fine you—and if you’re unlucky, they tow your car away, leaving you stranded and forcing you to pay to get it back. In many cases, the total cost of that ordeal can be even higher than fixing a punctured tire.
The slow-motion moment of the day.
THE USEFUL IDIOTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEThe term "useful idiot" describes people who, believing they are fighting for a noble cause, end up being exploited by groups with hidden agendas or larger interests. It’s not that they’re foolish in the literal sense, but their good intentions and lack of strategic vision make them the perfect tools for others.
When it comes to climate change activists, many young people genuinely believe they are saving the planet through actions like blocking roads or vandalizing artwork. However, behind them are organizations and lobbyists with entirely different goals—pressuring governments, manipulating public opinion, or even destabilizing economic sectors for their own benefit.
The real issue is that these activists think they are fighting against "the bad guys" without realizing that, more often than not, they are being used by the real power players. The ones funding these movements rarely suffer the consequences of the protests, but they do manage to divert attention from real issues or shift the balance in their favor.
Their innocence and fanaticism make them ideal foot soldiers, convinced they are acting with complete freedom when, in reality, they are just following a script written by someone else.

GET OUT OF MY CARreag
In China, a woman gets into a taxi, and the driver tries to convince her to get out, but things quickly spiral out of control. Amid shouting and aggressive gestures, the woman starts undressing and eventually ends up dancing on top of the car. A crowd gathers, watches, records… but no one steps in. Not the taxi driver, not the bystanders, not even the authorities. The video has several cuts, and what starts in daylight eventually turns into night. We don’t know how long she was there, but one thing is clear—no one wanted to be the first to act.

BEING IN THE WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIMESometimes, life changes in an instant, and you don’t even realize how it happened. You haven’t done anything, you haven’t made any risky choices, you haven’t crossed any lines… yet there you are, caught in a situation that has nothing to do with you, simply because fate decided to play a cruel joke on you.
It could be a misunderstanding, a ridiculous coincidence, or just a simple perception error—but when it happens, it happens. And the worst part? No matter how much you try to explain yourself, sometimes no one is willing to listen.
The truth is, anyone can find themselves caught up in something that isn’t theirs. And when that happens, all you can do is hope that those in control of the moment can see beyond appearances. Because being in the wrong place can happen in seconds, but getting out of it might take much longer.
