How it started... How it's going... This is standard... G-per behavior, a standard recipe: 1) Unfairly take something directed at them as 100x worse than it really was; 2) Use it to justify mass attack as "defensive" retaliation; 3) Swarm with the mamximal misinterpretation of what they falsely allege happened to them first, x1000, making it personal and nasty and usually targeting children; 4) If anyone calls foul, they repeat the lie from (1) and accuse you of defending that behavior and add you to their hit list under their terms of war (e.g., people who defend "doxxers" should be doxxed). In this case, Piers Morgan-Springer asked Burrito Mussolini a question about a statement he had made about his dad and his upbringing publicly, paraphrasing closely: "I've conducted literally 1000s of interviews over 40 years of broadcasting and I believe very strongly that people are the result of their upbringing. On your show you said that your father (said his name which I forget) used to take you and your sister out for dinner but wouldn't visit certain restaurants because they were quote: "black fare." Do you think hearing that impacted how you view black people?" On the "great interview" that Burrito himself declared surprisingly fair, Burrito pushed back on this question as being in bad faith, but Piers got him to concede that Piers only knew the anecdote becuase Burrito himself had said it on his own publicly available show. Just two days later, he's on the attack, viciously, "greenlighting" a mass attack against Piers Morgan-Springer's family and children, which will be unbelievably beyond bounds, on a claim that Piers Morgan-Springer attacked his family first. I hope it's abundantly clear why we cannot unite with such people, who are identical to Transtifa but in Nazi clothing, digitally goose-stepping in perfect emulation of the SA in a certain infamous 1920s Hofbräuhaus while their Dear Leader runs his mouth unimpeded.show more

I’m late to this, but I see both sides... of the coin here. On one, of course Kyle Fletcher’s gonna be bummed by getting screwed out of his big stadium moment in front of his family while his anxiety levels were at an all-time high. On the other, I wish he included more context as to why that happened and what happened to Adam Cole, as well as the fact that he may never wrestle again and how that was announced on the day of All In, because it makes complete sense as to why that happened when you take everything into account. Also, I can’t believe I’m saying this again but please walk with me on this one: ADAM. COLE. DID. NOT. GET. HURT. ON. THAT. FUCKING. POWERBOMB. YOU. IMBECILES. Watch his arms hit the fucking apron as his head hits nothing. You can say it was a dumb spot all you want, that’s not why Adam Cole is sitting at home right now.show more

This statement by Morgan Wallen at is Chicago show... ruffled the feathers of a lot fans back in Pittsburgh. Wallen was in Chicago playing at Soldier Field where it was raining. He says to the crowd “ I just wanna say that it is raining right now and we gonna’ play through it” and kind of chuckles. Many took that as a slight to Pittsburgh where he canceled his show due to weather concerns but which ended up being a beautiful night there when the concert would have started. A lot of fans in Pittsburgh are wondering why he didn’t “play through” there when it ended up not raining at all. 🤔 Many said they still haven’t received their refund and wondered why he wouldn’t just reschedule. Some said all they got was a promo code for a future concert. 🤯 Some of people in Chicago said they only went to see Brooks N’ Dunn, who were opening for him in Chicago and said they left after they played and didn’t stay to see Morgan. You think his comment was much to do about nothing or was he slighting Pittsburgh? Don’t you think he could make everything a whole lot easier and better if he just rescheduled the Pittsburgh show?show more

This airline passenger filmed this guy sitting in front... of them. The guy in front keeps slamming his chair back even though it is already reclined. Eventually the guy with the knees does push back but why does this even happen? What is that guy in front doing? Many said they think that airlines shouldn’t even have reclining seats unless you are in first class because there isn’t enough room. Others said they will ask the person behind them if it is okay to recline their seat. What would you do if someone was doing this in front of you? Has this ever happened to you? And, do you think it’s okay for people to just recline or should they warn the people behind them first? And do you agree and think they should get rid of reclining seats all together?show more

I'd be careful in how you talk about this... subject. It is very easy, even if you are familiar with it, to spread misinformation. The Vril Droning process involves cloning and exposing the clone to a Vril parasite that takes over the central nervous system. It is very possible. It is said to be one of the darkest masonic secrets, and that they inhabit the hollow earth through the entrance in Antarctica. I find it really interesting, but it could just be something created to excuse behaviors. I have a video that explains how they actually use adrenochrome for nutrition. It is a theory but I think it has some ground to stand on. It is said that it is the reason for the floods/storms because they are waging war on them and they inhabit the deep underground bases. It is a subterranean war. It is a fun subject to talk about.show more

It’s been a year since the company I helped... start shut down. It was one of those ideas that felt truly “net-positive” for the world, and truly helped people on a personal level. So, over this last year I worked on 2 things — searching for an idea that feels net-positive and something people could connect with on a deep, personal level. That led me to build + launch 2 apps at the beginning of the year: 1. Lyrics: Daily Music Widget - an app that shows you song lyrics from your favorite artists, right on your home screen 2. one year - another app that shows how many days of growth you’ve had in a year Both of these apps had their ups and downs, but they made me realize some pretty cool things: - I want my apps to feel great to use - I want me apps to do one thing really well - I want my apps to feel like a human made them - and, I want my apps to always be made with other people So, two months ago I took those concepts, went to visit in SF, and started on an idea that I truly felt could change the way people live their daily lives. And, it’s launching today. This is Find Your Faith, an iPhone app that helps you discover a spiritual path that resonates with you, or helps you dive deeper into a faith you already practice. We started this as a way to help us with our own spiritual journeys. We wanted to explore different faiths in a way that was authentic to us. The beauty about spirituality is there is no deadline on when you should “figure out what you believe in” lol. It’s really something to check in on during the different seasons of your life. And, there isn’t just one way to do it. Some people may enjoy reading religious text, or others may prefer being in the presence of something greater than them. At the end of the day, these are just ways to give yourself the space to explore really tough questions and concepts. That’s what Find Your Faith (or fyf) does — helps you understand where you are on your journey, no matter where you may be, and gives you the space to sit in these questions every day. This is just the beginning for us, and hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed building it :).show more

My social media friends and family, I want to... share a pop culture story with you that is deeply personal to me about my daughter, Jewel, and the rise of the sensational K-Pop grout BTS. As BTS prepares for their comeback performance tomorrow from their military service, some stories deserve to be told the right way. (If it’s available to you, I encourage you to watch the live stream performance Saturday morning at 1 AM EST.) Years ago, my daughter, Jewel, met a group of young men from South Korea who were in Los Angeles working, learning, and pursuing something they believed in. The world didn’t know them yet. They weren’t global icons. They were just young artists trying to find their way. That group was BTS. Jewel’s meeting them happened in a way that still feels serendipitous—and very much like her. While out to dinner in Los Angeles, exuding that natural warmth and vivaciousness she carried everywhere, she was approached by a band member and asked if she would be part of their reality TV show. She said yes, the way she always did to new experiences and new people. That moment led to her participation in their reality series "American Hustle Life," and from there, she was also invited to be part of their “Boy in Luv” LA music video. What began as a simple, genuine interaction—just Jewel being Jewel—quietly became something much bigger. When Jewel first arrived on set she saw something in them immediately. Not just talent—she saw who they were. Their kindness. Their humility. Their work ethic. Their respect for others. She told them they were going to go far. And she came home and told me the same thing… “Dad, they’re going to be stars.” She didn’t say it casually. She meant it. And she was right. Today, the world knows BTS for what they have accomplished—historic musical firsts in the United States, breaking barriers, filling stadiums, speaking at the United Nations, addressing anti-Asian hate crimes at the White House, and bringing people together across cultures and languages. But what makes me proud isn’t just their success. It’s that Jewel recognized their character before the world recognized their fame. After Jewel passed, something profound happened that I will never forget. The group reached out to me and then their fanbase—ARMY—showed up. Not in a small way. Not for a moment. But in a global, unified, compassionate movement. They helped tell Jewel’s story. They helped raise awareness about the defective Takata airbag that took her life. Together, we reached people across every continent. millions of engagements. Conversations that mattered. Lives saved. They didn’t have to do that. But they did. And that told me everything about who they are. Thank you. To the members of BTS—congratulations on completing your military service. That commitment to your country and your fellow citizens speaks volumes about your character. It reflects the same values Jewel saw in you from the very beginning. I am proud of everything you have accomplished. I am proud that your paths crossed with my daughter. And I am grateful that she had the chance to know you—not as the world sees you now, but as the young men you were, and still are at your core. Her belief in you came true. And I know that she is smiling down on you from heaven. —Alexandershow more

President Trump is being duped on polling numbers about... the popularity of War with Iran and does not realize it. CNN released a clearly fake or cherry picked poll saying that almost all of MAGA supports the War. This could not be further from the truth. If you think it is, go ask a few MAGA people in your actual life their thoughts on the War. A lot of them are strongly against it. But both the mainstream media and the neocons around President Trump want him to believe these numbers. The left leaning mainstream media want him to believe these numbers because the longer this war goes on, the better it works out for Democrats in upcoming elections. The right leaning mainstream media want him to believe it because their biggest donors are very pro war in Iran. The neocons surrounding him want him to believe it because then they can have the war in the Middle East they have always pushed for. I do not think President Trump is playing 4D chess with this war. I do not think he is super pro war. I do not think he cares about the Middle East that much. I just think he is being manipulated by the people around him and he does not realize it. The best thing for President Trump and the country as a whole is that he recognizes how unpopular this disaster is, corrects course by getting the United States out of involvement, and fires anyone who has lied to him about polling around him. Now to be clear, I do think there are many in MAGA who are suddenly pro this war, but that is just the people who would believe the sky is green and grass is blue if President Trump told them to. That does not represent the majority of the MAGA base. As always, I am not the holder of truth. This is just my assessment of the current situation.show more

This will likely be one of the last times... I post a clip from Piers Morgan. But before we deprive him of his most precious resource (attention), I want to make one final point. Piers is clearly rattled by the backlash he’s facing after his disgraceful interview with Natasha Hausdorff. He’s pretending to laugh it off on X, but it’s obvious he’s feeling the heat. How do I know? Because today, in classic Piers fashion, he invited on a pro-Hamas propagandist so he could say he’s being “balanced” and “challenging both sides.” The problem is Piers is nowhere near informed enough to challenge anyone on the Palestinian side. And yet when it comes to Israel, he suddenly becomes the most aggressive cross-examiner in media. Today he let his guest spew lie after lie, including calling the First Intifada “non-violent,” despite the murder of over 270 Israeli civilians, thousands wounded, and countless attacks on buses, homes, and streets. Piers said nothing. No fact-check. No correction. Just nodding and moving on. I could give you 20 more examples just from this episode. This is the pattern. And it’s exactly why I’m urging pro-Israel voices to stop going on his show and for everyone else to stop sharing clips. The only thing that matters to him is views. Strip that away, and maybe he’ll start learning something. Or at least stay quiet.show more

Last post on this I'd appreciate if people took... the time to read it and share it because I think when people listen they deserve credit but TRNSMT have done more than that I complained about the disabled situation TRNSMT Festival and I think the fact that they listened and made changes is the kind of progressive attitude we need towards disabled facilities. I wasn't complaining to come across as some sort of Karen, it just genuinely would've been a health and safety risk. So I think it's only right that I commend them for the work they've done with the platform this year. The platform has many key things that I think make it the best at any festival I've been at. 1.Clear marked out lanes for people to move out to the toilets and back to their seat to avoid congestion and create space 2. A bar for disabled people beside the platform this is amazing. 3. Toilets well spaced out as well as a changing places toilets for people who more severe disabilities beside the platform. 4. Plenty of space in the toilets. 5. It's huge and you feel really close to the stageshow more

History has taught you have to choose between 1st... World colonization or 3rd World immigration Your Will is either carved into reality or another’s Will is enacted upon you Life itself is a grand struggle between the conquered and the conquerer O but how forgetful is the mind of man in the days of his comfort Only until his land is overrun and his Race is all but gone does he realize this peace was a myth That surely there was war in his midst and he knew it not A bad steward always loses his inheritance and if he does not claim it… it is taken by another The question every man must as himself: Should I rule or be a subject? God will not judge your choice to be one or the other … but rather how you ruled or how you rendered to Caesar what rightfully belonged to him Humility isn’t defined as giving what is yours but in recognizing the power is yours to wield That the cost of doing nothing is greater than the cost of perhaps doing the wrong thing What will history say about you? About us? About our People? That of all men… The Europeans were the most virtuous of Rulers.show more

This local from Corpus Christi beach tells everyone to... please not feed the seagulls. She says that’s a message from all the locals there. However, a great many of the locals chimed in and said go ahead and feed them. Live your best life, and that many of them take their own kind of food to feed the seagulls. One person said, be that person! Experience ljoy and happiness, feed the birds. ❤️ We used to go to West Beach in Galveston where you can drive on the beach. We would load up some crumbs and sit on the back of the tailgate and drive and feed the seagulls with them following us. The kids always loved it. Life is short. Find your beauty where you can. 💯 What do you think? Are you with this local and think that people shouldn’t be feeding the seagulls? Or are you with the other locals who said go for it, live your best life?show more

yk 🦊 so relevant when these unemployed people really... did space just so they could mock and hate on 🦊 lmao first, it's not his fault that he now had to sing your bias' lines because, in the first place, he was not the reason why he's not in the group anymore. they only have less than 1 week to practice the changes of their choreos and lines but they still deliver their performances professionally and even received so much praises. second, he was not trying to be a ‘girl’. feminine guys probably did not exists in your dictionary. honestly what's your definition of the ‘man’ actually. just because he is gentle, expressive and empathetic does not make him less a ‘man’. you guys are the one who assumes his gender when in the first place, he did not even say about it. instead of being homophobic, maybe you should use your time to study and research. third, he is not trying to be ‘ship’ with your favs. it's not his fault that members loves to takes care and teases him. it's not his fault that members are all whipped for him. noticed how 99% of the ‘ship moments’ were all initiated by the members? that's because he's just breathing yet members still find ways to adore him. finally, your hatred towards him is not actually his fault. it's your insecurities that making you hate him. I mean who would dare to hate 🦊 anw? he's very talented, gorgeous, kind and unproblematic. so if you hates him, it's your problem, not his. stay jealous I guess? in conclusion, your space with your co-akgaes just to mock 🦊 and the members can't make your bias go back to the group. you're ruining his reputation and may hinder his upcoming solo.show more

Usually I don’t speak on political issues often however... Charlie Kirk’s death (RIP) hits a little too close to home. Perhaps it is because anyone who has some resemblance of a following who is outspoken against any narrative online has probably received some sort of threat in their inbox. (I know I have) It is baffling to me that one could harbour such a large amount of hate inside of them to want to have another silenced for having differing opinions than their own. I think about all my outspoken friends who are in positions faced to the public and of course myself and what this potentially means for all of us. This of course, would never stop me from speaking out to what’s right, so perhaps that is also why I wanted to make a comment. To me it is disgusting behaviour to mock/be happy about the death of people you disagree with that have done nothing wrong. I think about all my friends, family who could be wrongfully persecuted based off the delusions of perceived “sides”. The amount of hate manufactured and projected onto you for just living your life and not complying to a certain ideal is insane. I don’t like fear mongering but I also think it’s important to stay vigilant to what’s going on around you. It is a very real reality that there are people out there that hate you just for simply being you and what you represent to them. We’ve seen evidence of this twice this week and I suspect more to come unfortunately. I am always hopeful so I will leave this message on a positive note, that just as much hate has also been met with just as much love. There are many amazing kind hearted people out there standing up for what’s right and building community, coming together. Even if they are moving in silence behind the scenes or in front stage, I see you and I honour your work.show more

I graduated!!! I earned a Bachelor of Arts in... Sociology with a concentration in Psychology, summa cum laude! Five years ago, I started this journey with an eighth-grade education, and even that was from a Scientology school, where critical thinking was discouraged and the quality of instruction was subpar, to say the least. I did not get here alone. Thank you to NYU School of Professional Studies and Angie Kamath. Thank you to everyone who supported me, encouraged me, and believed in me, especially on the days I was not sure I could do this. And there were plenty of those days. To my therapist, who told me not to give up when I was told I likely would not be accepted into a prestigious program. To my tutor, without whom I likely would have given up at the harder points along the way. To all those here who have sent me loving messages on social media. And to everyone else who has cheered me on in person through the ups and the downs of it, it means more than I can put into words. It got me over this finish line of being a student again and graduating. That goal once seemed impossible. To those who have asked me, “Why this? Why now?” I pursued higher education to reclaim a piece of myself. When you come out of a high-control group like Scientology, or even a high-control family, there are parts of you that were never allowed to fully develop. Those parts include your curiosity and your ability and right to question. Education was discouraged because knowledge creates confidence in your ability to trust your own mind and navigate the world. That leads to true independence, and that would never be allowed. I wanted that back. But more than that, I needed to understand. I needed to understand how my mother could have us join Scientology when I was just eight years old, and how my family and I could be part of something like this and stay in it for so long. I needed to understand how these systems work, how they influence people, and how they take hold. Without education, access to real information, and support, people can fall into systems that work against their best interests. Some assume that because they are educated, even highly educated, they would never fall for something like this. But it turns out that is not necessarily true. What many of us are impacted by, but never quite understand, is how high-control groups operate. Many still do not understand how misinformation spreads, and how tribalism and radicalization shape what we think, what we believe, and who and what we trust. Without that awareness, none of us are immune. Today, we are seeing how these forces can influence good people and distort reality. History has shown us that this is not new; it just comes in a different form now. Social media connects us in ways we never imagined, but it also creates echo chambers that reinforce beliefs and justify behavior without question. Real critical thinking is hard when we are fed so much by algorithms designed to appeal to us. In learning and achieving this milestone in my own life, it has helped me take a good, hard look at my own beliefs and ideologies. This journey was about healing for me, but also about figuring out how to help others in whatever way I can in the future. So what is in my future? I am considering continuing my education and possibly pursuing a master’s degree, with the goal of contributing to advocacy and policies that protect people, not systems. For now, I am taking this moment in. I am proud of myself. And I am grateful. Thank you for being on this journey with me.show more

If people could remember just one thing about you,... what would it be? Not just your job, your status, your gender or your background, but the real you. As the world celebrates Pride this month, it’s a reminder to look beyond labels, leave assumptions behind and make more room for everyone to be exactly who they are. So this month we asked a group of Thai celebrities what they hope people remember about them. Their answers are funny, thoughtful and surprisingly personal. They show that the things that stay with us are rarely labels. They are the little quirks, the passion, the kindness and everything that makes someone themselves.Let’s hear their thoughts.

I came across this clip of Carlos Alcaraz doing... this simple but effective drill to help with his ball toss when serving It immediately made me think about how these amazing players in ANY sport don't skip the basics I see it everyday with golf, the recreational golfer isn't willing to do the smallest, most basic things in order to help themselves acheive their goals They say they want one thing but their actions don't show they will achieve it Golfers always want to hit driver as hard as they can, they skip the importance of setting up to the ball correctly, they don't like changing their terrible grip because it "feels weird" Yet the best tennis player on the planet is working on his ball toss in order to ensure he can serve the ball to the best of his abilities It's these 1% efforts that can help you achieve exactly what you want. Don't skip them & when a coach asks you to do them, there's a reason we want you to listen and do them. They are importantshow more

So many times in anime and movies, someone jumped... in the air for an attack and the guy dodged the attack while he was in the air, so he redirected the hit of the attack, he definetly would have not landed like a braindead bot without trying to turn and hit the enemy, so it totally makes sense. The AI looks more dynamic, it's looks alive and that's cool. So that attack is totally so natural in my book. As I said, we could discuss about other attacks and the tracking of them in Ninja Gaiden 4, but that one ? I would die on a hill to say that attack is totally legit and I'm so glad that it is exactly like this. Like I absolutely defend NG2 Alexei, Volf, Liz and other bosses attacks. I could mention also NG2, NG3RE, Nioh , Wo Long and Stranger of Paradise, because in so many years, I NEVER saw anybody complaining about the SAME KIND of thing and attack like in those games, but when it comes into NG4, people will find any EXCUSES to hate it and find issues, even when there are not. But some people that are just happy to find something to bring on their NG4 hater agenda. Here some quick examples and most of those people that are complaining about that attack in NG4, are the same that praise those games, only because there no Ninja Gaiden name on it, so there is no hate agenda to bring on vs them 😅show more

Learning is something you and your baby do together.... You can think of the process as happening in three distinct stages, during which skills are transferred gradually from you to your little one: During the first stage, your baby is observing the behavior and skills of others. During the second, they begin to emulate these behaviors - and can find success with the support of a helpful adult (you) or more expert peer (often a sibling). And gradually they internalize these skills and perform them all by themselves. This video is a great example of the shared second phase. Infants explore the world with their mouths. But an important lesson of toddlerhood is that some things are for putting in our mouths, while others are not. This little one knows that we don’t eat the Play-Doh. But it sure is tempting! Watch as he breaks off a piece and brings it to his mouth. As he does his eyes lift and he realizes that Mom is watching - which alone prompts some introspection. He grins broadly, shakes his head and exclaims “No, no, no” - using Mom’s past words to affirm his decision to place the Play-Doh back on the table. Left to his own devices, who knows? But together, without exchanging a word, he managed to make the right choice. As a parent it’s important to remember the key role you play in the learning process. And that extends to your child’s behavior. Self-regulation begins as co-regulation. So be there. This sweet little guy was shared to IG by parentosa.show more

hi! i just looked through the english subs on... the team txt video and there are two subs in particular that i wanted to add a little more context to 1. yeonjun talking about how his most painful moment was when he couldn’t be there in person when they won their first rookie of the year award the subtitles say “my back was injured” but yeonjun actually said he “ruptured his spinal disc” the reason i think this is important is because when the notice first came out in 2019, it said “sudden back pain” and yeonjun also said it was because he had back pain and to find out all these years later that it wasn’t actually ordinary back pain but because his spinal disc ruptured is…🥹 2. the subtitle says “i think this is the most special experience i could ever have in my life” but soobin actually said “even if i live several lives, i think that this is a special experience that i can only have in this lifetime.”show more
