Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:50:52 GMT

The first message that got through to Christian Braun came from DeAndre Jordan, who, until Sunday afternoon, sat alongside Denver’s versatile rookie on the bench.“They just say, ‘Change the game, change the energy,’” Braun said of what he was told before being utilized in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 122-120 loss to Brooklyn, the Nuggets’ third consecutive defeat.Braun, who played meaningful minutes for the first time since Feb. 25th, finished with seven points, three rebounds, and an assist while playing 11:39 of the fourth quarter. Down 11 when the Nuggets entered the fourth quarter, head coach Michael Malone turned to Braun after Denver’s defense collapsed, allowing 37 points in the third quarter. Those minutes, typically allotted for Michael Porter Jr., went to Braun instead.“When you’re down like we were, you’re just looking for a spark, you’re looking for somebody to give you some life,” said Malone. “… “I’m looking for guys that can guard, and Christian has shown all ...

We already know that kink-shaming isn’t a good thing. Even if some forms of eroticism can be questionable, you’d be surprised to know how “vanilla” we, humans still are compared to other animals. Because some animal sex behaviors can be quite — animalistic! From overly clingy guys and crazy girlfriends, you’ll have another reason to say “damn nature, you scary!”Crazy Animal Sex Behaviors and AnatomyCannibal CompanionPerhaps the most widely known practitioner of sexual cannibalism is the animal kingdom’s femme fatale herself, the Black Widow — and they do, in fact, have a knack for wanting to be a widow; as their name suggests, they kill and eat their male counterparts while they’re having sex!

Meet Colors of Freedom Artist Delbar Shahbaz

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:50:52 GMT

Painter and mixed media artist Delbar Shahbaz embraces vibrant colors in symphonic palettes as an emblem of freedom and a gesture of courage—like nature emerging from a winter of revolution into a spring of power and liberty. Her lively visual language of abstraction, nature, and the figure grows from a holistic vision of connection, motion, and the world’s constant cyclical process of change. Rivers run, dancers spin, birds fly, light sparkles, fades, and returns; creatures part human and part animal explore the boundaries of our real and poetic dream worlds as symbols and carriers of the spirit; suffering gives way to restoration and power.

At the same time, her symbolism advancing a deeper sense of peace and liberty, often involving literally laying in ...
