A new craze in China: reviving photos of deceased relatives with the help of AI
The result is a rather creepy, but at the same time touching spectacle when a living person communicates with a "reanimated" photo of his or her loved one.

An amazing natural phenomenon has occurred in Chile - the Atacama Desert, known as the driest and most lifeless desert on the planet, has bloomed!
This is a rare and spectacular event that was last observed in 2017. The cause of this unusual bloom was due to excessive rainfall in the region.
This phenomenon, known as "Desierto Florida" (blooming desert), occurs when the perfect combination of rain and temperature activates dormant seeds in desert soil.

There was a fire in Brazil that destroyed an exhibit dedicated to the 100th anniversary of Warner Bros.
Among the victims of this fiery performance were real stars of the screen - the very sofa from "Friends", which probably still had the spirit of endless coffee parties, the distributing hat from "Harry Potter", which now, apparently, distributed everyone in Gryffindor (because fire, you know), and even the Batmobile from the old Batman series.
Other iconic items also suffered a sad fate: Christopher Reeve's Superman cape (which, alas, couldn't escape the fire), Sauron's helmet and ring (apparently, even the power of Mordor couldn't resist the flames), and the doll from Annabelle (though maybe it's for the best?).
So many memories, so much history - all turned to ash.

In New York City, abnormally high temperatures have led to unexpected problems with the city's infrastructure. Due to the thermal expansion of steel, the Third Avenue drawbridge over the Harlem River could not fully "close".
To cope with the situation, the city authorities resorted to an unconventional solution: the bridges are cooled manually by pouring water on them.

There is a new neural network from HeyGen that will dub any photo with a voice - Expressive Photos.
You just need to upload a photo and any soundtrack - the AI will select emotions and create movements by itself. The result is amazing.

A combination of classical music and the eruption of the Etna volcano in Sicily.
A stunning visual and auditory contrast. Drone footage captured this spectacle from unusual angles, adding additional depth and scale to an already spectacular scene.

Estonian slackliner almost sets a record
Jaan Roose, a three-time slackline world champion from Estonia, attempted to set a new world record by walking 3600 meters on a sling over the Strait of Messina in Italy. The athlete successfully balanced on the long rope for 3 hours, but 80 meters before the finish line he snapped. Although the distance exceeded the previous record by almost a kilometer, the achievement was not counted due to an error on the last stretch.

Drones with fireworks? Sky Elements have clearly decided to shake up the entertainment industry. Imagine the sky painted with luminous dots that suddenly explode with a cascade of sparks. It's no longer just "lights in the sky", but a whole techno show.
I wonder how they solve safety issues? After all, launching explosives from flying robots sounds like a script for a disaster movie.

Xiaomi has decided that people in production are too slow and inefficient. The company launched a real "dark factory" in China, where only robots with neural networks work. Apparently, someone watched too many movies about machine uprising and decided to make it a reality!
There is not a single person in this futuristic factory. The robots assemble the phones themselves, check their quality and even clean up after themselves.

Americans have found a new way to get rid of old cars: Independence Day and gravity
In the United States decided that fireworks on Independence Day - it's too banal. Now the main entertainment of the holiday is throwing old cars down a slope.
Of course, there are no drivers in these cars (thank God!), but the spectacle still looks ... shall we say, unusual. I wonder what the founding fathers would have said when they saw their descendants celebrating independence?

The Wandan mud volcano, which erupts several times a year, has become active again in Taiwan. When flammable gases coming to the surface come into contact with the ignition source, the eruption turns into a spectacular fire show. Eyewitnesses have observed impressive lava and fire emissions creating a unique natural phenomenon.
