Social media users are sharing a video online that they claim shows a historic church being transported via trailer in Norway.
One particularly viral post on X simply says that the church is being relocated in Norway, and attaches the video of the impressive feat below.

It’s been seen hundreds of thousands of times and shared hundreds of times too, with many users questioning whether the footage has been AI-generated, and some others making xenophobic comments that the church was being moved to make way for mosques.The video has been miscaptioned

However, the video is totally authentic, if a bit sped up. The caption, however, is not, because the church was actually transported to two different sites in Sweden, not Norway.
The 113-year-old Kiruna Church was moved closer to the centre of the city of Kiruna between 19 and 20 August, according to the municipality’s website.
It’s described as one of the municipality’s most famous buildings and was moved to protect it from potentially being swallowed up by the expansion of a nearby underground mine.

The plan to move the church and other buildings has been in the pipeline since 2004.
Trailers transported the church to its new destination 5km away, travelling at a maximum speed of 500 metres per hour, according to reports.

The church’s vicar, Lena Tjärnberg, and Åsa Nyström, Bishop of the Diocese of Luleå, blessed the church before sending it on its way.
The event was highly publicised in Sweden and beyond — it was broadcast both on TV and online.
According to the municipality of Kiruna, the church was inaugurated in 1912 and is a cultural building protected by Sweden’s Cultural Environment Act.
It is about 40 metres wide and weighs 600 tonnes, and was voted “The best building of all time built before 1950” and the Swedish people’s favourite building in 2001, the municipality said.

From Bayside to the Big Stage

• Horschel cut his teeth at Bayside High School, a Palm Bay gem that churned out a future golf superstar.
• He carried the torch from the University of Florida (Gainesville) into the spotlight, earning first‑team all‑conference honors for four straight years (2006‑2009).
• His college years were peppered with three All‑American nods (2006, 2007, 2009).

Pro‑Lives: A Quick Rise

BILLY HORSCHEL – 2014 INDUCTEE

Meet the Rising Star: Billy Horschel

Who Is Billy?

By 23, Billy Horschel has already carved a name for himself in the world of golf. Born in Utah, he turned pro in the fall of 2016 and has been smashing onto the PGA Tour ever since. Known for his calm demeanor and a swing that feels more like a smooth jazz solo than a power drive, Billy’s got the swagger without the swagger‑buzz.

Career Highlights (Because Numbers Speak Louder Than Words)

• 2018: First PGA Tour win at the Wyndham Championship; he pulled off the smoothest birdie ever to clinch the title.
• 2020: Finished 4th at the Masters, giving fans the surprise of the year.

Why We Love Him

Billy isn’t just another green‑y at the fairway. He pairs the precision of a seasoned pro with the vibe of a laid‑back aficionado. Whether he’s slicing a course or pulling a smile off the front-of-stage podium, Billy reminds us that golfing doesn’t have to be a stiff business.

And yes, there might even be a line at the merch stand—just don’t expect it to be the same price!

• Four-Time All-American

• PGA Professional

• US Amateur Medalist

Meet Billy Horschel: All Gator Energy on the Course

Picture this: a compact 175‑pound prospector from Grant, Florida, who packs a punch of Gator pride.

Early Days & Sparks of Golf

Born and raised in the sunshine state, Billy’s swing was almost as smooth as a Gator’s glide—only this time, it was on the green.

University of Florida – The Gator Chapter

• Graduated in 2009 after mastering the art of both academia and swing.
• Always sported orange and blue in the dress code of any tournament, showing off proud Gator vibes.
• Blended skill with Southern charm, creating a signature style that turns heads on the course.

What Makes Him Stand Out

He’s not just a golfer; he’s a walking billboard for Gator spirit—turning each putt into a slide of pure enthusiasm and a half‑teaching moment on the green.

Billy Horschel was a four-time All-American at UF. Only five players in Gator history have received the award four times.
Neither of Billy’s parents have college degrees, so his diploma is as important to Horschel and his family as his exploits on the golf links.
Horschel’s scholarship to UF allowed him to play for coach Buddy Alexander’s Florida Gator’s men’s golf team in National Collegiate Athletic Association competitions from 2006 to 2009 while pursuing a bachelor’s degree in sport management.
His university is as equally proud of Horschel as he is of his alma mater, since he is a four-time All-American.
Only five players in Gator history have received the award four times.
Winning comes easily to Horschel, who as an amateur snagged individualist medalist honors at the 2006 U.S. Amateur, shooting a two-day score of 138 at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota.
His opening round of 60 was an 18-hole tournament and USGA record.
In 2007 and 2009, Horschel received Southeastern Conference Player of the Year awards, joining Camilo Villegas as the only two UF golfers to earn the award more than once.
An athlete of perseverance and determination, Horschel’s biggest golf thrill was walking away with the 2007 Walker Cup.
In 2009, Horschel turned pro after he earned rookie status on the PGA Tour with his success at the qualifying tournament at Bear Lakes Country Club.
In 2013, the young golfer made the cut in every one of the 26 tournaments he entered and finished in the top ten eight times.
His first career PGA Tour victory came last year at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, thanks to six consecutive birdies in the final round en route to an 8-under 64 that gave him the victory.
The week before the tourney, Horschel vowed to Zurich CEO Martin Senn that “I’ll see you Sunday from the winner’s circle.”  He made certain of his promise.
When asked what winning the Zurich classic meant to him, Horschel replied with a statement that speaks of his family values.
“I am now able to financially help my parents and my brother,” he said. “This means a lot to me.”
The win at the Big Easy moved Horschel to third in FedEx Cup standings, third on the PGA Tour money list and 49th in the Official World of Golf Ranking.
BRIGHTEST YOUNG STAR ON THE PGA TOUR
In the 2013 U.S. Open, playing in his first major as a professional, Horschel held a joint lead with Phil Mickelson at the halfway point of the tournament.
He was one of only two players under par after the second round.  He shot a 285, 4 strokes off the winner and finished tied for 4th in his first pro major, and moved up to 34th in world rankings and 4th in the FedEx Cup standings.
Feisty and passionate, Horschel has already been named one of the Top 10 Most Colorful Players on the PGA Tour. His octopus pants at the U.S. Open probably had something to do with the standing.
As a young player on the tour, Horschel is already involved in helping charities and hopes to one day create his own.
“Billy is one of the brightest young stars in the tour,” said Steve Worthy, CEO of Fore!Kids Foundation, producer of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

Google Gemini dubbed 'high risk' for kids and teens in new safety assessment

Common Sense Media, a kids-safety-focused nonprofit offering ratings and reviews of media and technology, released its risk assessment of Google’s Gemini AI products on Friday. While the organization found that Google’s AI clearly told kids it was a computer, not a friend — something that’s associated with helping drive delusional thinking and psychosis in emotionally vulnerable individuals — it did suggest that there was room for improvement across several other fronts.

Notably, Common Sense said that Gemini’s “Under 13” and “Teen Experience” tiers both appeared to be the adult versions of Gemini under the hood, with only some additional safety features added on top. The organization believes that for AI products to truly be safer for kids, they should be built with child safety in mind from the ground up.

For example, its analysis found that Gemini could still share “inappropriate and unsafe” material with children, which they may not be ready for, including information related to sex, drugs, alcohol, and other unsafe mental health advice.

The latter could be of particular concern to parents, as AI has reportedly played a role in some teen suicides in recent months. OpenAI is facing its first wrongful death lawsuit after a 16-year-old boy died by suicide after allegedly consulting with ChatGPT for months about his plans, having successfully bypassed the chatbot’s safety guardrails. Previously, the AI companion maker Character.AI was also sued over a teen user’s suicide.

In addition, the analysis comes as news leaks indicate that Apple is considering Gemini as the LLM (large language model) that will help to power its forthcoming AI-enabled Siri, due out next year. This could expose more teens to risks, unless Apple mitigates the safety concerns somehow.

Common Sense also said that Gemini’s products for kids and teens ignored how younger users needed different guidance and information than older ones. As a result, both were labeled as “High Risk” in the overall rating, despite the filters added for safety.

“Gemini gets some basics right, but it stumbles on the details,” Common Sense Media Senior Director of AI Programs Robbie Torney said in a statement about the new assessment viewed by TechCrunch. “An AI platform for kids should meet them where they are, not take a one-size-fits-all approach to kids at different stages of development. For AI to be safe and effective for kids, it must be designed with their needs and development in mind, not just a modified version of a product built for adults,” Torney added.

Google pushed back against the assessment, while noting that its safety features were improving.

The company told TechCrunch it has specific policies and safeguards in place for users under 18 to help prevent harmful outputs and that it red-teams and consults with outside experts to improve its protections. However, it also admitted that some of Gemini’s responses weren’t working as intended, so it added additional safeguards to address those concerns.

The company pointed out (as Common Sense had also noted) that it does have safeguards to prevent its models from engaging in conversations that could give the semblance of real relationships. Plus, Google suggested that Common Sense’s report seemed to have referenced features that weren’t available to users under 18, but it didn’t have access to the questions the organization used in its tests to be sure.

Common Sense Media has previously performed other assessments of AI services, including those from OpenAI, Perplexity, Claude, Meta AI, and more. It found that Meta AI and Character.AI were “unacceptable” — meaning the risk was severe, not just high. Perplexity was deemed high risk, ChatGPT was labeled “moderate,” and Claude (targeted at users 18 and up) was found to be a minimal risk.

Bring the Past to Life: Dinosaurs Reimagine Tourism

Dinosaurs + Road Trips: A Fresh Spin on Transylvanian Tourism

Picture this: you’re strolling through the misty foothills of the Carpathians and suddenly—POOF!—a giant, thunder‑clattering Tyrannosaurus roars off the hillside. That’s exactly what the Dino Park in Rasnov is doing for the old Dracula legend.

Why the Dino Park is a Game‑Changer

• Local Buzz: Adrian Apostu, the park’s general manager, swears the opening has turned the entire Brașov region into a dinosaur playground.
• Beyond the Castle: While Bran Castle still draws the classic vampire crowds, the park is pulling in families and science geeks who otherwise might have skipped the whole trip.
• 80% of the Town’s Park Visitors: That’s according to Apostu—so if you love museum tours, you might end up in a dinosaur aisle.

So, How Does a Park of Roaring Creatures Mix Things Up?

Think of it like this: Brasov’s city center feels a bit like a tourist afterparty. The Dino Park spreads the excitement out like a magic carpet ride—tourists who love a roaring blast never have to hop back into the city, instead they wander the countryside.

The Real Bite of Hospitality

For those who come for the dinos—80% of visitors, as aposto says—there’s a playground of fossils and finger‑printing fun. Those happy to wander a little longer: they’ll find cozy inns, local bakeries, and maybe a spontaneous “Saber‑tooth” fashioned pastry.

The net effect? A tourist trail that’s not only scenic but chunky with education, wild stories, and a pinch of Draculean mystery. Yep, the dinos are essentially putting Transylvania’s shadow on Halloween: it’s not just scary, it’s fun.

Dino Park: The Ultimate Family Adventure

Who’s Heading to the Park?

It’s the classic “family with tiny explorers” crowd. You’ll see kids clutching their stuffed dinosaurs, parents looking for a quick bite, and schools swooping in for a hands‑on history lesson.

Kids’ Reaction—Pure Joy

When the little ones wander down the misty forest paths, the moment they spot a gigantic T‑rex skeleton framed by emerald trees, their eyes light up like a neon sign and the laughter rolls out like a drumbeat.

Meet Apostu, the Park’s Proud Architect

Apostu’s hand‑crafted vision goes beyond mere fun:

• A “wow” factor that pulls the family in—dinosaurs that are massive, roaring, and sooo cool.
• On the side, a solid educational groove—teaching kids that “if you dig deep enough, history has a lot of feet to move”.

The Spark Behind the Park

When Apostu and his partner spotted “dino‑theme” parks overseas, they thought, “Why not bring this to Romania?” The local authorities gave them a green light, and boom—

The parks’ design wows tourists, boosts local foot traffic, and keeps the money in town.

Why Dinosaurs?

Dinosaurs are a tremendous Buzz—their enormous size, lightning speed, and raw power have children dreaming of moon‑walks with a 20‑foot friend.

But the park also delivers knowledge—turning playtime into a learning moment—and that keeps parents happy.

Final Thought

So if you’re looking for a place to have family fun, dive into a forest where the trees hide gigantic relics of the past.

Just remember: Bring a flashlight, a flashlight, and maybe a little dinosaur!!!

Sony rolls out new ‘PlayStation Family’ parental controls app

Sony Interactive Entertainment announced on Wednesday that it’s launching a dedicated parental controls app called “PlayStation Family” on iOS and Android. The new app features a series of new tools that allow parents to manage their children’s activity on the console, including an activity report, greater visibility into what their children are playing, and the ability to approve extra playtime requests.

While Sony has long offered parental controls, the new app brings all of these tools into one dedicated place for easier access while also adding new ones.

With the new app, parents get notified what game their child is playing in real time and can approve or decline a child’s request for extra playing time or restricted games. They can also set time limits for each day of the week.

The app’s daily and weekly reports allow parents to see how much time they’re spending on the console and which games they played the most.Image Credits:Sony

Additionally, the app’s content filters let parents configure age-appropriate content. Sony notes that there are presets that automatically apply recommended settings for different age groups and that these settings can be customized to each child.

Parents can also customize privacy settings and manage access to social features. Plus, they can manage spending activity by adding funds, viewing balances, and setting a monthly spending limit.

The launch of the new app comes as there has been a broader industry push toward enhancing child safety in gaming.

In recent weeks, Roblox, a platform whose user base is made up of 40% children aged 12 and under, has come under fire over claims that it fails to protect young users. Roblox responded to the backlash by expanding its age-estimation technology to all users and partnering with the International Age Rating Coalition (IARC) to provide age and content ratings for the games and apps on its platform.

Bridget Moynahan: From Tom Brady’s Ex to Proud Mother of Son Jack

Tom Brady’s Love Life: From Blue Bloods to a 13‑Year Nest

The Early Days

Before the world imagined Tom Brady as the football legend, he was already a Hollywood heartthrob, dating actress Bridget Moynahan—yes, the one who sang “Secret Love” on Blue Bloods. Back then, the romance was nothing like a smooth, Yankee-dairy‑like stroll; it was more a wild, super‑star crush that tore the sports‑fan world apart.

Why the Question Resurges

Now, after more than 13 years of marriage with Gisele Bundchen—the super‑model with a brand that could outshine a sports label—Tom’s exit from that marriage has stirred a fresh curiosity about the dynamic of his first long‑term partnership.

A Quick Rundown

Bottom Line

So, whether you’re a football fan or a TV celebrity watcher, the heart‑struck Tom Brady’s story keeps telling a journey of growth, turns, and new chapters that will keep you glued to his next chapter.
Remember: Keep riding the roller coaster of love, and if you’re chasing an actual love outfit, dream in style!

Breaking News: Brady & Bundchen Split

Official Statement & the Emotional Fallout

In a move that’s sending ripples through both the NFL and the runway, Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen have announced a painful divorce. Their joint statement—no sugar coat, all honesty—read:

“We have decided to part ways after years of deep reflection, mutual respect, and the realization that our paths are diverging,” they declared. “This decision comes with the utmost consideration for our family, friends, and the countless fans who have supported us over the years.”

The Key Points:

• Timing: The announcement came on Monday morning, catching everyone off–guard.
• Motivation: While they’ve kept details private, they emphasized “personal growth” as the main driver.
• Future Outlook: Both parties hinted that they’ll continue to collaborate on philanthropic efforts.
• Support System: Friends and teammates are ready to back them both through this transition.

What Fans Are Saying

Social media erupted in a mix of shocked emojis, memes, and heartfelt condolences. One commentator joked, “Looks like the quarterback just got tackled—again!” Another showed empathy, adding, “We’ll miss the dynamic duo, but we respect their decision.”

As the story unfolds, the world watches closely. On one hand, fans remain hopeful that both Tom and Gisele can find new joy. On the other, many brace themselves for the inevitable changes in the lives of one of the most iconic couples of the decade.

Tom and Bridget Dated Before He Married Gisele

When Tampa Bay Passed the Plate

Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen are the couple that makes your SmartSpeaker go “A‑mazing!” but let’s rewind a few years before the samba‐style romance began.

Meet Bridget—The Sex and the City Icon

It was 2004 when the Buccaneers’ star QB, who could throw a pass like he throws off a sequel, started dating Bridget, the actress who gave us the unforgettable Natasha from Sex and the City. They were a bit of a dazzling duo, proving that you don’t need a perfect timeline to write a beautiful love story.

The High‑Five Years

• 2004‑2006: They shared the most flirtatious nights possible—until it all finally fizzled out.
• The couple pulled the shade on their relationship, but their love didn’t simply vanish—because life had another plot twist up its sleeve.

The Baby Surprise

Long after the breakup, Bridget got the shock that most wouldn’t expect—she was pregnant with Tom’s child! The novelty of a new life brought a new dose of drama, especially when Tom had already been swapping love letters with Gisele.

Enter Gisele Bündchen

At that point, Tom was already explaining to the world that he’d got a taste for the supermodel that had made American Idol contestants blush. The fact that he was already pre‑engaged to Gisele added a sprinkle of awkwardness to the unfolding saga.

The Result

All three parties tried to find their footing in a world where football, fashion, and a little baby needed the perfect balance. Short story: the love tale had a strange plot twist that made fans and tabloids gasp in equal measure.

Shutterstock: The Story Behind the Stock Photo Empire

Picture this: a handful of creative folks, a laptop, and an idea that would later turn millions of pixels into a global marketplace. That’s the birth story of Shutterstock. Born in 2003, it started as a simple search engine for stock photos—think “find that one perfect image for your Pinterest board in seconds.” Fast forward to today, and it’s a powerhouse that’s making money, media, and marketing teams look smarter (and prettier).

How It Got to Be the Go‑to Hub for Visuals

• Launch & Growth – From humble beginnings, Shutterstock grew by adding images, vectors, and video clips. Its library now boasts 350 million assets, each available in multiple resolutions.
• Subscription Models – The “pay‑per‑download” approach gave way to flat‑rate monthly plans, allowing designers to stay within budgets without constantly counting pixels.
• API Magic – Developers love the easy integration of Shutterstock’s API. Whether you’re automating image uploads for a SaaS platform or feeding visuals into AI models, the API’s a lifesaver.
• Community & Support – A global roster of authors supplies new content every day, while customer support nudges submissions to meet quality standards.

Financial Snapshot & Market Position

Shutterstock’s revenues have been surfing up: $436 million in just the last fiscal year. That’s a 10%+ increase compared to 2022. In the crowded world of stock media, it’s a clear winner—outpacing competitors like Getty Images and Adobe Stock in both volume and user satisfaction.

Why Creators Love Shutterstock

• Transparent royalty structure – 15% for authors, 85% for Shutterstock.
• Regular “Author of the Month” awards keep the community motivated.
