Kurihara started playing Puyo Puyo in his first year of primary school and soon started competing and winning in tournaments. He obtained his pro licence in April this year and regularly beats adults. “It’s hard having to balance it with school and cram school, but it’s really fun,” he said ahead of the Games. There are no publicly available records of youngest medallists in the history of the Asian Games, which were first contested in 1951. But Indonesia’s Bunga Nyimas won bronze in women’s skateboarding aged 12 in Jakarta in 2018. Cui Chenxi, 13, won Games gold when she triumphed in the women’s street skateboarding event three years ago in Hangzhou. Source link

Matthew Lillard Is Embarrassed About Scream 7 Return After Melissa Barrera’s Firing

Published by Daniella Wilson

Matthew Lillard has confessed that he’s “embarrassed” about returning for Scream 7 following Melissa Barrera’s firing from the slasher franchise. During a recent Q&A, via a video posted on TikTok, the actor said Barrera was “on the right side of history” when she expressed support for Palestinians in 2023 amid the Israel-Hamas war. “It’s just human, it’s like who we are… I don’t know what else to do,” Lillard said. “For me… I have queer kids; if I’m not standing up for queer kids or kids in the trans community, what the fuck am I doing?” The Five Nights at Freddy’s star continued, “Listen, I don’t think it’s easy all the time. Melissa Barrera, who’s a beautiful actor, was fired for what she said. … That’s really fucking bullshit and really hard, and she’s on the right side of history. And when they start coming after your job, sometimes things are worth it.” “But I’m just gonna say, what happened to Melissa, the whole world didn’t pipe up,” he added. “She was like a year …

The Irish actors appeared together on Norton’s sofa last October, in the notorious episode that sparked fellow guest Taylor Swift to recruit everyone in her proximity to appear in one of her music videos. Gleeson said he was thrown off not by global superstar Swift, but by Murphy, who used his time on the show to express his admiration for Gleeson himself. Murphy said that he had seen Gleeson in a Martin McDonagh play called The Lieutenant of Inishmore, and described Gleeson’s performance in it as “magnetic”. Now, in a new interview, Gleeson has recalled feeling touched and embarrassed by Murphy’s gesture. “I don’t know if it’s an Irish people thing, but we’re not very good at handling a compliment …

Starlink just entered America’s ISP rankings and immediately embarrassed cable

Starlink just entered America’s ISP rankings and immediately embarrassed cable

Published by skeptic

Last week, severe storms flooded the copper pullboxes around my town and knocked out the local internet provider’s exchange. Across an entire region, fixed-line internet disappeared, followed by mobile tower service. My Starlink dish, sitting outside in the same miserable weather, kept working without ever missing a beat. That’s one of the reasons why Starlink’s debut in the American Customer Satisfaction Index’s 2026 rankings didn’t come as much of a surprise. Starlink entered the non-fiber category ahead of every single major cable provider, despite sending my connections through the clouds to satellites racing around the sky in low Earth orbit. Cable companies have physical lines running into customers’ homes, an advantage I’ve experienced firsthand through a Hybrid Fiber-Coaxial (HFC) network. I also remember its wildly inconsistent peak-hour speeds and virtually non-existent customer support. Starlink didn’t win by offering the perfect connection. Cable companies just embarrassed themselves by giving subscribers something they preferred much less.

People Raised In The 60s And 70s Would Be Embarrassed Not To Know How To Do 9 Things

Published by Jenni Sidey

There’s something special about the resilience of people raised in the 60s and 70s, even if it did stem from a very independent upbringing. They were often left alone and taught to fend for themselves, which also meant they learned the hard way about a lot of practical things. Whether it was chores or socializing with others, there are certain things people who grew up in this time would be embarrassed not to know how to do, but that young people today are sometimes still uncertain about. 60s and 70s kids would be embarrassed not to know how to do these things 1. Clean and launder clothes simona pilolla 2 | Shutterstock Forced to do chores from a young age without a lot of parental oversight, Gen X and boomer kids learned to do laundry on their own. They were ironing button-down shirts and separating darks from lights before they even became teenagers. Even getting stains out is something this generation would be embarrassed not to know as grown adults, and yet, many young people …

Bashful Prince George, 13, left ’embarrassed’ by his parents during first official outing as a teenager

Published by Daniella Wilson

To most teenagers, no one is more embarrassing than their parents. And although Prince George was born to one of the country’s most influential couples, he too is no stranger to feeling mortified by his mother and father from time to time. The Prince and Princess of Wales resurfaced briefly from their annual summer break on Saturday for a family outing to the 2026 Commonwealth Games.

7 Rough Lessons People Who Constantly Feel Embarrassed Usually Learned As Kids

Published by Jenni Sidey

We all have insecurities that make it harder to feel confident at times. My biggest insecurity is that I am constantly embarrassing myself. Feeling that way makes me second-guess what I say or how I’m acting. I get so self-conscious that I sometimes find myself acting like someone I’m not. It might sound strange to someone who doesn’t get it, but there are perfectly reasonable explanations for why people like me may feel like we can’t get things right. Most of the time, they learned toxic lessons when they were younger that caused them to have this belief about themselves. If someone almost always feels embarrassed, they usually learned these rough lessons growing up 1. There’s something wrong with them Ksenia Chernaya from Pexels via Canva If you feel embarrassed all the time, you’re probably not very confident in who you are. Some people try to change their behavior so they can act like whatever they think just enough looks like. Changing who you are rarely works to make you feel more confident, though. You have …

I generated a research podcast using Claude Opus and it embarrassed every NotebookLM episode I’d saved

I generated a research podcast using Claude Opus and it embarrassed every NotebookLM episode I’d saved

Published by skeptic

The first AI tool to make me truly think it was beyond a gimmick was NotebookLM. I’ve been using it since its early Google Labs days, and the reason why it attracted me from day one was because it didn’t try to be everything. It did one thing, which was build a personalized AI that was only familiar with what you fed it. Then came Audio Overviews, and the grounding I loved got wrapped in something fun: two hosts walking through all my sources like they’d read them. As someone who has always been a podcast person and doesn’t spend a minute without her AirPods plugged in, it felt like the feature had been handmade for me. The feature has been around since September 2024, and between then and today, I’ve used it extensively while also testing competitors who claim to do something similar. Most were forgettable, and I kept coming back to NotebookLM. This continued until the day I generated a single podcast episode using Claude’s Opus 4.8 model, and it quietly embarrassed every …
