'Woman guru' claims 25 years old is the threshold of a decent woman
LIFE must be good when we have a 'woman whisperer' or a 'woman guru' to teach us about the intricacies of women. That is all fine until the blind decides to lead the blind. A social media influencer recently grabbed quite the attention on the cyberspace for his 'wisdom' where he advised guys that the expiration date of a woman is 24 years old. Is this why Leonardo Dicaprio ends his relationship with women before they reach 26 years old? According to the 'woman guru,' the ladies after 24 years old are filled with trauma from the many past relationships they had, making them less than ideal. He added that women shouldn't call themselves independent when all they had was a basic salary, an Axia car and a house. 'These were the basics,' he said, further pointing out why women were so desperate to be independent? 'Who is colonising you?' he wondered. DMA cakap perempuan expired umur 24 and umur 27,28,29 tu perempuan redflag😭Dengar sampai habis dma cakap jangan acah independent. — sarr 𝕏 (@aisarroses) June 2, 2025 When words such as these were uttered in the cyberspace, expect an angry mob with lit torches and pitchforks to form, and quickly too. 'Since when the condition for independence is to be rich?' said netizen @dlynxh_ adding that his underwear was likely washed and folded by his mother. A rather cool-headed @nurulrosedi said she was entertained, claiming that she did not hate men even though she is already 30 years old. 'Although I have a house and car, I still need a man in my life,' she said. Also, @idcthonotime4u wondered why people were bothered with him talking and explaining about theories when it was clear he wasn't a professor or a minister. However, @adzakael said he propagated many points which resonated among many people. 'That is why he has a lot of followers. He don't need to show how smart he is. He just need to speak the things that no one else dare say,' said @adzakael. Another netizen agreed that those 29 year-old women have many trauma and trust issues. Although he is sceptical about women expiring at 24 years old. Meanwhile, @xlyxxsly who claimed to be a woman said the feminist ideology was created to exploit the female workforce. Perhaps then, the independent career women out there shouldn't be so proud to carry their 'independent' label about? Where the war of the genders is considered, there is no doubt that there will be no winners since men and women need to work together to ensure a functioning civilisation. Regardless, our 'woman guru' here sure raised some interesting theories that are worth their weight in entertainment, if not fact. —June 4, 2025 Main image: @aisarroses (X)

There's Something So Beautiful About the Bond Between Brothers
During my pregnancy with my second son, I worried constantly about my first. Could my heart really hold enough love for them both? Would dividing my time and attention be cheating my firstborn out of something? Would they hate each other? Should we have had a second baby at all? The first time we placed our newborn in his brother's lap, my oldest — only 3 years old at the time — counted the teeny pink toes peeking out from beneath the blanket, looking him over with an expression that I couldn't quite read. I held my breath in anxious anticipation of how he'd react. More from SheKnows Christian Bale Has Tapped Leonardo Dicaprio & Other A-Listers for This Suprisingly Sweet Project Finally, leaning close to the baby, he whispered his first-ever words to his brother: 'Do you want some of my Skittles?' I let out my bated breath in a sigh of relief. If the first thing he did was offer to share, maybe this was the beginning of a beautiful friendship — because everybody knows toddlers aren't exactly world champions at sharing. Of course, sharing isn't always the norm. They're both teenagers now, and we've since added two more brothers to their world, bringing the grand total to four boys (and a lot of squabbling). They wrestle regularly, tackling and pummeling, huffing and heaving, even now that nearly all of them are the size of grown men. But like a storm cloud in a strong wind, any animosity blows over quickly, and I'll find them moments later watching TV or TikTok in a heap, their physical closeness — leaning against each other, an arm draped over a back — reminding me of the way twins are entangled in utero. They tease one another relentlessly, about crushes and taste in music and … well, everything, really. But if someone outside their circle of brotherhood dares to pick on any of these traits, they're quick to jump to one another's defense. They are evidently allowed to prey on each other's insecurities — it's what siblings do, after all — but no one else should even think about trying. Where one of his brothers is concerned, even the most non-confrontational of the bunch is quick to stand up for any perceived injustice. The way they love each other overwhelms my heart, and always has. It's one of them saving allowance for something special and then deciding to use it on a gift for his brother instead. It's one of them comforting another after he gets in trouble. It's sharing a snack they wanted to keep for themselves, or handing down a prized Pokémon card, or sending each other text messages that always end up with 'love you', or staying up late at night hanging out in one another's bedrooms just talking. It's doing all these things, even though they've all, at one time or another, proclaimed in a fit of annoyance to 'hate' their brothers. The best gift I ever gave my sons was the magic of brotherhood. But really, that brotherhood has been just as big as a gift to me. In their relationships, I see the kind of future I hope for them — where they lean on each other even when they're all grown with families of their own. And I see a reassurance, even on days when I feel like I'm failing as a mom (and there are plenty), that something is going right. Brotherly love is intricate and complex, and not even a whole novel's worth of words could ever do it justice. Brothers are one another's worst enemies and greatest allies. They are built-in playmates, and at other times, they're sparring partners. They're each other's first best friend, learning valuable lessons about compassion, love, forgiveness, and compromise just by virtue of being brothers. And if you've been privileged enough to witness this bond, you know it's deep and indestructible, wonderful and beautiful. … Even if there's some pummeling involved once in a while.

Fears over the fragile future of world famous rare tree
Once a year, at Christmas, frankincense becomes one of the world's world's most talked about trees as it's presented during pageants to baby Jesus alongside gold and myrrh. So you might be wondering why it is we're talking about it in March. Sadly, the reason has little to do with festivities and more to do with doom and gloom. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has updated its annual Red List of threatened plants and animals and revealed significant declines in several species of the tree, which is also known as Boswellia. The list now includes 169,420 species, of which 47,187 are threatened with extinction. The assessment comes after an investigation across Socotra island in Yemen, which has the highest diversity of frankincense species per square kilometre in the world. Resin from the trees was once one of the most valuable commodities in the world, and today its use is managed to avoid exploitation. But there are unforeseen threats that have emerged in recent years. Due to changes in agricultural goat grazing, its saplings are being eaten before they reach maturity. While there's been goats on Socotra for thousands of years, over the last century, traditional small herding has been replaced with more profitable large-scale farming, and that's increased pressure on the trees. But that's not the only problem, the weather is also changing. Between 2015 and 2018, the island was struck by intense cyclones, flash floods and landslides, which damaged and uprooted trees. 🦑 Incredible video shows ocean predator using complex 'illusion' to trick prey ❌ Leonardo Dicaprio urges Australia to 'shut down' controversial salmon farms 🔎 'Mysterious' new Aussie spider discovered near outback creek Following the review, five species have been uplisted from vulnerable to endangered, and another has jumped from vulnerable to critically endangered. Three other species were assessed for the first time and the news was equally grim, with all being listed as critically endangered. Local expert Mohammed Amer, who led the Red List assessment, said action from locals is needed to help protect the trees from extinction. 'Frankincense trees are very important to our culture on Socotra… Through building fences around young trees, local communities can protect them from goats, and produce frankincense honey for additional income,' he said. "As extreme weather hits the island, local action is essential to secure the future of Socotra's frankincense trees."
