Hello, Wayne, In reference to Miss Cory’s enlightening speech,... yes, it is his responsibility to acknowledge his fans. And no, this isn’t just about Jarlette, I’m speaking in general. He’s an artist, part of showbiz. What makes a successful artist? Talent? Sure. But what else? Oh, that’s right, fans. Without them, where exactly would he be? Now, let’s talk about Jarlette’s fandom. Are we a group of supporters or just a convenient tool for when an extra hand was needed? Because now that there’s seemingly no shortage of hands, we’ve suddenly become invisible. Unnoticed. Not even worthy of a hi? Is this really the person we’re supposed to stand behind? Don’t even get me started, I’ve got enough fingers and toes to count the times this has happened. Care to test that? Here’s the deal, stop treating us like a joke. We’re done being disrespected. A little advice? Stay humble. Maybe remind him of that too, it’s an important ingredient for success.show more

So Kate, NOW it’s "I love this album" about... Harry his KATTDO release, NOW you’re dancing to Dance No More, NOW you’re suddenly listening to Zayn his newest song Sideways… and I’m supposed to believe this is genuine? Because let’s not rewrite history here. You NEVER engaged with any of them. Not once. Not when Louis had the premiere of All of Those Voices, not when Niall and Liam were literally together, not at any point where it would’ve actually made sense. No support, no acknowledgment, nothing. Just silence. But now suddenly it’s loud? And what makes it even worse is you couldn’t even show HALF of this energy for your own "love of your life" Liam when he released music. No proper posts, no real support, nothing consistent. But suddenly for Harry and Zayn you’re present, expressive, engaged? Be serious. And let’s be very clear… you’re not winning directioners over with this. You’re not winning solo fans over either. You don’t get to suddenly tap into their music after everything, after the silence, after lying about being a One Direction fan, and expect people to just accept it like it’s normal. It’s not. This isn’t you "finding the music." This is you picking and choosing when to care depending on what benefits you, what gets attention, what keeps you relevant. The pattern is obvious: ignore it when it’s real, show up when it’s convenient. You don’t get to be silent when it mattered and then act like you’re part of it now. That’s not support, that’s opportunistic behaviour. And people DO notice. #JusticeForLiamshow more

DOKYEOM IS SUCH AN ANGEL😭🤍 PD-nim chose him bcs... of this reason #도겸 👤Dokyeom is such an affectionate/warm person. Being considerate and kind just comes naturally to him, and you can really feel that in the way he looks at all of us, the cast. Since this is a program where sincerity is such an important part of it, we felt he would be someone who could play a really important role. That was one of the biggest reasons we wanted to cast himshow more

The thing I love most after enlistment is how... Jimin’s light isn’t just bright. It’s the brightest it has ever been. There’s a glow to him, a quiet radiance with that warm aura you can feel in his smile and those soft giggles. Like I said in my post, he looks freer. I’ve been a Jimin bias for a long time, from the very beginning, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen him shine quite like this. I keep going through old memories because this version of him carries pieces of every era I fell in love with. Maybe it’s simply been too long since we’ve seen him like this. Maybe I’m overwhelmed and grateful that he’s truly back. Maybe. Maybe not. But something about him now tells me he’s okay. He feels more grounded, more secure in himself, standing in a place that feels steady under him. His confidence is quiet but unmistakably real. And just to be clear, it’s not that he lacked confidence at any point in the last ten years. He always had it. What I mean is that this Jimin… it’s a different kind. It's a“He doesn’t give a fuck” kind of confidence, the type that comes from knowing himself completely and choosing to live in that freedom. Every single thing about him right now is just beautiful. The way he moves, the way he laughs, the way he carries this calm, freeing aura. It makes me happy… genuinely and deeply happy to witness this version of him.show more

President Carter’s time on this earth is coming to... an end according to his grandson Jason Carter. What a great man. At 99 he has accomplished so much. With an election coming up let’s remember all he has done for voting rights. Jason Carter: "My grandfather is doing okay. He has been in hospice, as you know, for almost a year and a half now, and he really is, I think, coming to the end. I’ve said before, there’s a part of this faith journey that is so important to him, and there’s a part of that faith journey that you only can live at the very end and I think he has been there in that space."show more

🚨Breaking: Mikel Arteta on Arsenal "offering" Myles Lewis-Skelly to... Man United and Chelsea. 🗣️Reporter: “There are reports saying Arsenal offered Skelly to Manchester United and Chelsea. How true is that?” 🗣️Mikel Arteta: “There is nothing true about the report. I have said it before and I will say it again: Skelly is untouchable. He has everything we want. His energy, his quality, his mentality he represents what this club is about. Thinking of selling a player like that would be a crime. These stories come out because we’re in the transfer window, and maybe because we’ve added a new midfielder. But that changes nothing. Skelly is a huge part of our future. He works every day, he wants to improve, and he loves this club. The fans love him too because they see how much he gives on the pitch. I want to assure our supporters: nothing like that will happen. He is staying here. We’re building with him, not without him.show more

Brent Venables, Ben Arbuckle and Todd Bates today at... the OU Football Coaches Luncheon: “We’re in a much different place than a year ago. We really like where we’re at right now.” - Venables “John Mateer makes everyone around him better.” - Venables “(John Mateer) has a way of galvanizing the people around him. He has a great spirit about him. These kids want to play harder for John Mateer.” - Arbuckle “(John Mateer) is an answer and a problem.” - Bates “I’ve given an acronym for Mateer on his name - My Attempt To Earn Everyone’s Respect.” - Bates “I think we have a chance to have a premier player at all three levels of the defense.” - Venables “Damonic Williams has taken everything to another level.” - Venables “Jaydn (Ott) is a special kid and he’s an old, mature kid. This kid is intentional. Much like John (Mateer) he fit into the team and locker room, seamlessly. With everything else, he’s a highly intelligent football player.” - Arbuckle “They can’t get enough coaching. They crave it.” - Bates on D-Line “We know what we’re capable of. There’s not one game on our schedule we can’t win. I say that straight-faced. It’s a deep league but our plans aren’t to finish 10th in the league. Our plans are to compete for an SEC Championship.” - Venables on being picked 10th in SEC “Our offensive line all summer, I would challenge to say there’s not a group that’s been consistently in the facility more together. What I’ve seen is a group that’s fighting every single day to get on the same page. I’ve been really, really proud of the work they’ve put in all summer. I’m excited about that group.” - Arbuckle “David Stone is on the verge of a breakout.” - Batesshow more

JADE and her boyfriend Jordan Stephens reveal they started... working on a documentary about JADE’s solo journey in 2021, which she’d like to continue working on this year. JADE explained: “We did try stuff at the start. This was a few years ago now [but we both got too busy]. It was such a cool idea of like, coming out of a group and being a solo artist and all that stuff. So that ship’s sailed now – but there’ll be something else.” Jordan agreed that there’s a new story to tell, teasing: “There’s an interesting take on it… There’s a couple of ideas we didn’t have the time to implement which we could revisit.” He confirmed he’s filmed “3 or 4 years of footage” so far.show more

And, the way you always keep the most important... person for last, the fact that the apogee of his acceptance speech was about Connor.. he had me sobbing, cause of how completely unguarded and raw Hudson is here. The way the emotion is slowly building up, as he is going down that list, his voice cracking a bit, his hands shaking. And he can feel it slowly, tears forming in his eyes, tears he is holding in the best he can. As he is holding that award, so firmly, that last name on his list, the one that felt like an awakening. He is the one he'd want to hold right there (or rather be held 🥺). The one who is more than a scene partner, more than a best friend, his "emotional support person in life", his "soulmate", his anchor even. Cracking a joke or two to try to release a bit of pressure, but when comes the point of saying his name "to the honorary Canadian Connor Storrie, I share this award with you." and not find his face, his eyes, his smile in front of him, the absence is screaming in his chest and the tears are closer than ever. Cause to be here, and for that to happen not side by side, like everything they've experienced for the past year or so, this doesn't feel quite right. "A single person is missing for you, and the whole world is empty" So yes he got through that speech without crying (barely), but not without beautifully opening his heart up to us before, and showing just how much he loves him 💓show more

I’m probably one of the only Teslanaires out there,... if not one of the very few, still cutting my own hair. I cut my own hair again today, and it reminded me that becoming a multi-millionaire usually isn’t a random coincidence. People see the $ and think it just happened. What they usually don’t see are the small habits behind it. Of course, I could go spend $25–$50 on a haircut that probably looks better than the one I give myself. But that’s not really what matters to me. I don’t care that much about looking perfect. I care about controlling my time. I care about staying grounded. I care about keeping the kind of habits that helped me build wealth in the first place. And honestly, I enjoy doing it. I’ve been cutting my own hair for so many years that I don’t even think about going to the barber anymore. It’s just normal to me now. It saves time, keeps me frugal, and reminds me that wealth is usually built in the small choices nobody claps for. That’s the part people miss. A lot of people see wealth and assume it was luck. But a lot of the time, it’s really the result of small disciplined habits repeated for years. Not wasting $ just bc you can. Not wasting time just bc other people do. And the funny part is, one day my fleet of Tesla Bots will probably be doing it for me anyway. But until then, I’m good doing it myself. Bc to me, being wealthy was never about trying to look rich. It was about building a mindset. A mindset that values time, discipline, and freedom more than appearances. And once you really live that way, it shows up in a lot of things, even something as simple as cutting your own hair.show more

Yes, Trump went to Dairy Queen yesterday and asked... "What the hell is a Blizzard." If I were to guess, probably about 98% of Americans know exactly what a Blizzard at Dairy Queen is. It definitely is baffling to me that a former President would not know this. But who cares? No, I'm not going to claim that Trump has dementia because he doesn't know what a Blizzard is. I'm also not going to claim that this disqualifies him from being President. Although I think a lot of other things should. What I am going to say is that Americans need to stop focusing on the BS attempts to smear candidates with stupid attacks. Whether it is the right trying to attack Biden for slurring his speech, or the left trying to attack Trump for being overweight, or anything else in between, it's all just BS. We're better than that.show more

I’m sorry. I HATE calling out other creators, but... what Katie Joy of “Without A Crystal Ball” is doing to my friend right now, gaslighting her audience about being a victim of his has me LIVID. I made a very respectful comment explaining a lot of missing context, and why I felt it was manipulative and she DELETED it & BLOCKED me! I’ve sat silent for WEEKS as this woman took shots at me and my friends… declaring I’m “not in this for the right reasons”. Excuse me?! I’m blowing my savings making a documentary NO ONE will buy 😂 ! It’s that important to me!! Shame on her constantly picking fights. I’m so sick of this divisive high school DRAMA! Zack went into that rant to stick up for me and others SHE targeted! Enough is enough. I have to stand up for my friends. Stop the in-fighting! It’s what Blake wants! Here’s the comment she didn’t want her audience to read:show more

in the wise words of taylor swift, “a man... is allowed to react, a woman can only overreact.” they cut the camera to her while she was still in shock & she took a sip of her drink. that is not even a reaction. this whole situation has blown out of proportion throughout the media. you’d think things would’ve gotten better for women in the past five years since she said this, but that’s not the case. this has made one thing abundantly clear, women are not allowed to react when they are blatantly disrespected. even if they don’t react, they’re still overreacting, since there is this perpetuating stereotype that women are “dramatic & emotional.” she’s just sitting there trying to enjoy her night that she was attending because of HER accomplishments & the records she broke with her movie about her life-changing, record-smashing tour. yet, she was only mentioned once, only ten minutes in, to be devalued to her relationship & to poke fun at the ways the media has been tormenting her for years. you can not tell me that is funny. she’s been through hell throughout her career, she’s heard these jokes a million times—she’s over it. she shouldn’t have to laugh at a joke that offended her to appease anyone. personally, i’m extremely proud of her for not feeling it was necessary to be a people pleaser & laugh, which is what she typically would’ve done int the past. that shows growth, that shows that she finally recognizes her worth. she finally realized that she doesn’t have to put up being painfully disrespected. she’s allowed to think a rude joke isn’t funny, it just made her uncomfortable. if she looks uncomfortable, it means he crossed the line, regardless of if you think it was funny or not. it’s evident that this was an under reaction. she kept her composure & responded to the situation perfectly. however, even though she responded perfectly, she’s still getting tremendous amounts of hate for this. this makes it abundantly clear that men in this society will always have it out for women who are successful—especially when that success was created all on their own, since women are not allowed to be successful in their eyes. that is blatant misogyny, just like the joke they think she is a horrible person for not laughing at. of course they think the joke was funny, they’re a bunch of misogynists themselves.show more

Bye bye, VFX artists? Is this really the end?... Why would a studio spend $10,000 on a single VFX shot… when tools like Seedance 2.0 can generate an entire cinematic scene in minutes? That’s the uncomfortable question no one wants to answer. We’re watching a shift happen in real time. Jobs are already being reshaped. Pipelines are changing. And the speed of evolution is hard to ignore. In just 3 years, AI went from experimental… to producing complex, high-quality visuals that were unthinkable before. Now compare that to the traditional path: A VFX artist can take years—often a decade— to reach a professional level. So what happens when that gap collapses? This isn’t just about replacing artists. It’s about redefining what “creating” even means. The barrier to entry is disappearing. The tools are getting exponentially better. And the timeline is accelerating. The real question isn’t if this changes the industry— It’s how fast.show more

Have you ever looked at your paycheck, looked at... your bills, and wondered where all the money went? There's something a lot of people don't talk about enough when it comes to being a man in today's world. For many men, there's still a strong desire to be able to provide, build a stable household, take care of the people they love, and have something left over at the end of the month. The problem is that doing that can feel harder and harder when the basic cost of living keeps eating up more of every paycheck. Rent or a mortgage, groceries, insurance, utilities, gas, car payments, repairs, medical expenses, and everything else can add up incredibly quickly. Even a man who works hard and tries to be responsible can sometimes feel like he is running just to stay in the same place. Then there are the unexpected expenses that always seem to show up at what feels like the worst possible time. That creates a lot of pressure. A man may feel like he is supposed to have everything figured out, even when he's dealing with the same rising costs and financial uncertainty as everyone else. He might not want to complain about it because he feels like he is supposed to simply handle it. But struggling financially does not automatically mean someone is lazy, irresponsible, or not trying hard enough. At the same time, there is something admirable about a man who keeps working toward a better situation instead of giving up. Maybe that means learning a new skill, taking on extra work, starting a business, cutting unnecessary expenses, or simply being patient while trying to get ahead. It may take longer than expected, and sometimes progress can be painfully slow. It's also important to remember that a man's worth should not be measured by the size of his paycheck. Providing for family is important of course, but being a good husband, father, friend, neighbor, and member of a community matters too. In a world where so many people are quietly struggling to keep up, maybe we should ask ourselves whether we are expecting ordinary working people to accomplish the extraordinary just to afford an ordinary life.show more

Trump sounds incomprehensible right now “So I just give... you a little bit of a thing and by the way, the press will say, oh, he rambled, no, that's not ramble, you know what that is?
