An optical illusion and its hidden images can reveal lots about your personality – depending on what image you see first.
So, do you see a dark-haired woman sitting on the ground, or a face with a really wide jaw area?
According to the video of the illusion if you saw a dark-haired woman then you have “sharp observational skills and an eye for detail.
“Also, you’re a reserved and introverted person,” the narrator explained.
“When you’re surrounded by too many people, you get tired real fast. “People see you as the quiet and shy type.”
“You do make it kinda hard for others to get to know you, but you genuinely enjoy your solitude and don’t feel lonely or rejected whatsoever.”
On the other hand, if the first thing you saw was a face with a really wide jaw area, you’re more likely to neglect details and go for the big picture.
“You’re likely more on the extroverted side.” “Socialising, chatting and hanging out with your friends and acquaintances gives you energy instead of being draining like it would for an introvert.”

Declared..
It’s all very well that President Biden and his European allies have repeatedly assured us they have absolutely no intention of getting involved in a direct military confrontation with nuclear-armed Russia.
"We want to see Russia weakened to the degree that it can't do the kinds of things that it has done in invading Ukraine."
Did we just declare war? Is that for Biden to keep his hold on power?

Fear..
Title 42..
President Biden's administration will comply with an upcoming order from a federal judge in Louisiana that is expected to block the removal of COVID-19 border restrictions.
The Biden administration had previously planned to end Title 42 on May 23, a move that would have resulted in a surge in illegal immigration.
Louisiana district court judge has announced plans to block such a move until Biden negotiates a deal with Republican border states.
"If and when the court issues the TRO [temporary restraining order] the department is planning to comply with that order," the official said, going on to complain about the decision.
Who is advising this administration? Who is making these decisions?
Catastrophic...
Inflation in the euro zone has hit a record high for the sixth consecutive month, sparking further questions over how the European Central Bank will react.
Headline inflation in the 19-member region reached 7.5% in April, according to preliminary estimates by Europe's statistics office released Friday. In March, the figure came in at 7.4%
Earlier this week, Russia's energy firm Gazprom halted gas flows to two EU nations for not paying for the commodity in rubles. The move sparked fears that other countries may also be cut off.
Analysts at Gavekal, a financial research firm, said that if Gazprom were to also cut supplies to Germany, "the economic effects would be catastrophic."
"We should be rather clear: in the short run, it will be very difficult for Europe, if not impossible, to substitute the Russian gas flows. So, this can be a medium-to-long term debate … but in the short run, I think we need to stay focused and make sure that we keep also European industry, European households supplied with gas," Stern said.
And with that, the west lead by USA is pushing to expand the Ukranian war. Just a thought.
