If dating is haram in Islam, how are Muslims supposed to fall in love?
Islam does not permit dating as it is commonly practiced today.

So what's the difference?

Modern dating usually starts with feelings, not principles. You meet, you vibe, you fall in love - and only later do you ask: Are we even compatible?
Islam flips the order. It starts with intention. Then boundaries. Then compatibility. And love follows naturally.

"But how can love come after? Isn't that fake?"

No. That's real love.

What many people call “love” today is often attraction mistaken for lasting love.

In fantasy football, identifying TE breakouts before they happen is a HUGE advantage.

2025: Tyler Warren
2024: Brock Bowers
2023: Trey McBride

Here are my favorite breakout TEs to know for 2026👇

1. Chig Okonkwo, WAS
Big contract with a team light on proven pass catchers.

- Finished as a top 24 TE the last 3 years on limited routes
- Big YAC threat (6.2 YAC/rec in 2025)
- Versatile (can produce from inline or in the slot)

Has 100+ target potential in 2026 with more routes. Image
2. Isaiah Likely, NYG

Another player moving to a dramatically improved situation.

- Elite on a per-route basis while with Baltimore
- 124 career passer rating when targeted
- Now the clear TE1 for NYG who should play full time

No more 50% route shares for Likely in New York. Image

Saw this from @LlorenteMiguel_ which supports my stance

Positional play was not the problem but how it is trained & implemented

Universal principles, copy & paste structural frameworks compromise the connections & eco-systems within a team

Each team is its own micro society Image
Seirul·lo’s training proposal starts from a complex conception of the Human Sportsperson (HSP). A male or female athlete comprises a series of hypercomplex structures that relate to each other interactively and retroactively.
These complexities are as follows:

Mental structures that all relate to each other in a holistic way, not in isolation - emotive, creative etc

These cognitive structures are responsible for the perception-action process), these structures are conditional and context dependent

PARASITE was released 7 years ago today. Among the most popular works of South Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-ho, and the first foreign film to win Best Picture at the Oscars, the making of story will have you think something is lurking in your basement…

1/40 Image
When Bong Joon-ho was working on his 8thfeature film, Snowpiercer, a friend suggested he write a play. Intrigued by the thought, Bong drew inspiration from his youth, when he had served as maths tutor for the son of a wealthy family, and started coming up with ideas.

2/40 Image
Image
Bong conceived of a story about two families – rich and poor – where one couldn’t survive without the other. The idea was that the stage would be split, one side for each family. But when Bong couldn’t stop thinking about camera shots, he decided it should be a film.

01.12.2014: The so-called pro-Russian separatists fire BM-21 rocket launchers from directly in front of residential buildings in Donetsk’s, Shirokyi district. The aim is to provoke Ukrainian return fire toward the area and later use the resulting damage for propaganda.
September 2014: An artillery unit belonging to the so-called pro-Russian separatists has taken up position in Shakhtarsk in immediate proximity to a hospital complex (48.049872, 38.484802). The tactic is to force the Ukrainian army to return fire toward the hospital area.
In April 2013, Igor Girkin outlined a strategy for how to take over another country by force. In 08/2013, Putin said that Ukraine would face ruin if it moved closer to the EU. In 09/2013, Moscow warned Ukraine that separatist movements would emerge in eastern Ukraine. Image

My long comment for Newsweek:

The overall dynamics of the war are gradually shifting in Ukraine’s favor compared to previous months. The situation for Ukraine is markedly better than it was last year. 1/9 Image
A notable recent development is that Kyiv has intensified its mid-range strike campaign against Russian logistics at an operational depth of 18 to 65 miles inside occupied territories, such as in southeastern Ukraine. 2/9
Ukraine’s forces have also stepped up frontline operations to increase their elimination of Russian troops, while expanding their deep- and mid-range strike campaigns to pressure the Russian economy and disrupt logistics in the operational rear. 3/9

I just discovered the best way to learn math and science. and almost nobody is using it. 🤯

Chatgpt can now turn any formula into a live, draggable simulation. move a slider, watch the math move with you. 70+ topics already in.

Free for everyone.

A thread of 6 prompts that'll make you wish you had this 10 years ago. 🧵
1. The financial literacy class school skipped.

Prompt: "Show me compound interest but treat me like i'm about to make a terrible financial decision."

Drag the interest rate from 5% to 20% (credit card territory). watch 10 years of "i'll pay it off next month" turn into a number that makes you nauseous.

This is what nobody taught you at 22.
2. The physics lesson that knows when to break.

Prompt: "explain hooke's law, but i want to break the spring."
force = spring constant × displacement. it works.

Until you push the displacement past the elastic limit and ask what happens to the formula.

Most tutorials never go there. that's where the real physics lives.

So, a few things happened in the air last week that are worth recalling lest they become normalised or, worse, excused. Jamming in international airspace, aggressive intercepts of military aircraft in international airspace and a drone hitting Romania. None are acceptable.. 🧵1/9 Image
Image
Image
2/ The jamming incident only became highlighted as it was an RAF aircraft carrying the Defence Secretary. The reality is this is being done across a blanket area, and affects civil flights every day in areas close to Russia. Image
Image
3/ The “buzzing” of the RAF Rivet Joint over the Black Sea by a Russian fighter in International airspace is done to try and stop intelligence being gathered. Such missions are normal on both sides. Flying aggressive manoeuvres against them is something only the Russians do. Image

CREATINE is the most POWERFUL legal supplement in the world.

However, most men have no idea what it really does.
How to use it correctly
Or if it's safe in the long term?

This thread will change that for you Image
Image
What is creatine?

Creatine is a compound that is found naturally in the muscles.
It helps the body produce energy during intense activity.

It is not a steroid.
It is not artificial.
Your body already produces it.

Supplementation simply replenishes your reserves.
How does creatine work?

Creatine is converted into phosphocreatine in the body, which helps regenerate ATP (the energy currency of cells).

In summary:
More creatine = more cellular energy.
More energy = better workouts.
Better workouts = more strength and muscle.

The UK now has 90 taxes (more than any time since 1843).

Germany raises more tax than the UK, but with only 60 taxes.

France raises a bit more than that, but has 348.

What's going on? And what can we learn? Image
The final article in our series on "number of taxes" as a measure of tax complexity:

(Summary in this thread, but the charts are interactive and much easier to read on our website.)taxpolicy.org.uk/2026/05/30/fra…
France raises a lot of tax: €1,321bn, equal to 45.3% of GDP, compared to 37% in the UK (2024 figures).

But we have 90 taxes. France has 348:

I was actually taught several solutions to this by a behavioral therapist lmao
1. Ask yourself "what's the first step to the task?"

This shifts your brain into problem solving mode and kickstart the mental process.

Even simple things like "boot the computer" or "get a pen" works.
2. Once you identify the first step, start with that and tell yourself "I'll only do the task for 5 minutes."

Chances are after 5 mins, you'll build up momentum to go through more of the task.

If not, at least you got 5 minutes of the work done.
