emotions running high right now.... nothing i say will... truly encapsulate the feeling, so i'm only left with gratitude. these past two years have been life-changing, so many new friends made, so much art created, i think i will look back to this moment when i'm much older and consider it the beginning of the best era of my life. with the present is now concluded, i can start focusing on the future, and i couldn't be more excited. not only for the work that is to come, but to create it in the company of the core, the loyal group of folks who believed in my vision and had made kept the dream alive. from the bottom of my heart. thank you 🖤show more

We got to 100k on Youtube, thank you ;;... its been quite a journey so far, its had loads of ups, quite a lot of downs and I definitely wouldn't be here without you all supporting me ;; I feel like I've grown a lot mentally and learned so so much, thinking back to when I started as Elia I was so so scared, so anxious, so worried and doubted myself from all the times where people have tried to bring me down, being told I don't have a cute enough voice for vtubing, that I have no talent, that I'm annoying, I'm hated and so so much more but I get through it because of you guys that do believe in me, do support me despite my flaws and it genuinely means the world to me, I may not be the best but I'll keep trying my best and I'll keep growing as a person to be better and kinder and more thoughtful and at the very least not be a bother ;; I have lots lots lots more in the works and even bigger things coming so I hope you can continue to support me on this journey if that's okey, I have a very very simple goal as a VTuber - I just want to make people happy Daisuki dayo 💛show more

JADE gets emotional reflecting on her North American tour... in a new TikTok: “I’m having so much fun on this tour. I just feel so grateful that I’m getting to do this at this point in my career. The fact that I get to tour [North America] after being in the industry for 15 years, and only now just getting to do my own headline tour, is incredible. It’s been a long time coming. What’s really beautiful about these shows is that when I look into the audience, I recognise so many of the fans here from back in the day, who’ve literally waited for years – like me! – for this moment. It just makes me feel so loved and supported to know people have believed in me enough to stick around for years waiting for this to happen. Anyone that’s bought a ticket, dressed up, made their own costumes… It’s just such a lovely, beautiful thing. I hope they can see when I’m on stage just how much that means to me, and how much I love performing and putting on the best show that I possibly can every single night. I will never ever take it for granted. I’m just so chuffed that I get to do this for a living… be a silly pop girlie, write and create music that brings people – and myself – a lot of joy… Thank you for believing in me. I literally get on the bunk on my bus most nights from the tour and just lie there like, ‘Oh my god! As if this is my life!’ It means a lot. I hope I get to do this for the rest of my life… Full of gratitude and lots of all the lovely emotions. Thank you so much.”show more

Today I will send my last appeal, I'm just... done with YouTube. I'm completely burned out. After fighting for months to save my 13-year-old Panzer Picture channel from that ridiculous false "Child Sexual Abuse" flag, I pretty much lost all hope it's ever coming back. Bigger channels stay silent, when so many channel are being removed for CP and Sexual abuse, I can tell you, your time will come. The stress has been brutal on my health (Crohn’s hasn’t helped). If you're still here and believe in preserving WW2 history, a like or RT would mean the world right now. Thank you for not forgetting ❤️ #RestorePanzerPicture #WW2History #YouTubeCensorshipshow more

【Photo: Thai Silk costume in natural light】 Fun fact... about my Balalaika cosplay. I chose 100% Thai Silk for her suit — not official, but my own interpretation of the character. When I lived in Thailand, I fell in love with the deep sheen and texture of Thai Silk. It’s a fabric traditionally used for ceremonial clothing, high-rank officials, weddings, and special occasions. The elegance and authority perfectly matched Balalaika in my mind. Here are the details of the suit in natural light. Thai Silk changes its expression depending on the angle — it’s truly beautiful. 🇹🇭✨ Creating costumes with cultural respect and storytelling is one of my favorite parts of cosplay. Thank you for all the kind messages from Thailand. I’m honored that my interpretation resonates with you.show more

Thank you to all my haters/doubters, you absolute morons inspire me to work so much harder and allll my upcoming students who become millionaires and multi-millionaires join me in thanking you for pushing me and revolutionizing this field of snake-oil salesman by being 100% real!show more

[2026.05.17] BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG’ in STANFORD DAY 1... – #RM Ending Ment✨ 🐨: I'm having the best time of my life right now. Honestly, I was literally surprised when we started this stage because I could see your face really well, which was good, but really embarrassing at the same time. So we needed a little time to.... but since not today we went crazy, so I'm so happy. And as Jimin said, Stanford doesn't open this precious place to, you know, not to so many people... I think from what I know, only Coldplay has done it in this scenario. We and you are the seconds. So... we're having great days here in California. It's been so long, you know, it's been a while since I've seen you all. And I hope you've all had a great night too, okay? Sending my love to You. I love you 🫶🏻 ~ Namjoon he’s so precious 🥹💜 BTS WORLD TOUR ARIRANG ARIRANG TOUR IN STANFORD DAY 1 #BTS #BTS_WORLDTOUR_ARIRANG #남준 #방탄소년단RM #BTS_WORLDTOUR_ARIRANG_STANFORD #BTS_WORLDTOUR_ARIRANG_STANFORD_D1show more

This past weekend I won Smashkatoon 100, the largest... Melee bracket in Saskatchewan history and a celebration of a wonderful community. I have never wanted to win a tournament so badly in my entire life... now it's over. Smashkatoon was my last large bracket I was planning on entering. Life moves fast and my passion for the game and community can't seem to keep up. I've met some amazing people in my travels, and have had some fantastic times. I still love the game, but my serious competition days have long felt over, Smashkatoon was my one last ride. Shoutouts to Mono, Schmeez, and Egg$ for coming out. That meant the world to me. Thank you to everyone for an amazing 10 years of Smash, 12 year old me couldn't imagine making it this deep into the weeds of it. Thank you to my brother Dunc for getting me into it in the first place and being my guardian at events. Thank you to Paul for driving me to events and smashfests. Thank you Matty and Zach for showing me how cool being good at the game is and teaching me so much. Thank you to the RGF boys for sharing my passion for something I loved. Thank you Matt, Shash, and Chandler for getting me to so many events and for helping create an awesome 2024-2025 of Melee. Thank you TXH Esports for helping with so many of my ambitions. So many people to thank I'd be typing all day. Thanks to all of you for liking my combos and finding my playstyle interesting, that's what it's all been about for me. I know, I know, "Smash retirement, see you in 2 weeks". This community now isn't what I fell in love with, and it's up to me to recognize that and not try to force an unhappy relationship. I've been putting life outside of smash first on my priority list and have never felt better in life. I'm sure I'll putter around here and there and go to locals when I can but my days of serious travel, practice, organization, production and competition are over as things are. Thank you $1 twitter premium for no character limit I will be cancelling today but you did your job good stuff. PEACE!show more

Thoughts from Pebble: -18th hole is the hardest hole... in golf 😬🤦🏻‍♂️ -Really up and down week… Swing felt really good at times and really bad at times. I don’t feel like I’m too far off but not sharp either. Will work on my swing with Sean and try and get it going this week. -My short game was consistently bad though haha 😅. Couldn’t figure out the bunkers very well, and chipping was off. Not technique wise, just off with my touch. -Speaking of which, a tip for all you amateurs. You have to open the face when hitting bunker shots. The leading edge just digs way too much when you keep that face square. When you open the face, it doesn’t dig as much and you can release it more which is a better motion overall. -My amateur partners were great to play with. Thomas and Michael were both really nice guys and I hope they enjoyed their time. The weather the first two days were really great. Pebble in good weather is so so sick. -Good part is that my putting has definitely improved from last yr. I had a little trouble with greens being so slow this week but I’m finding my groove with my putting way more than last yr.show more

Thank you for always being kind and talking with me a lot. When I sometimes feel lonely, after I talk with you, work with you, eat with you, or just do anything, it always gives me strength. Listening to someone's words is also such a difficult thing, and in fact you might just be listening there, but thank you for being by my side. You're also the only one who consistently replies to me on KakaoTalkㅋㅋ.. Thank you. I hope we can be long-time friends and colleagues, and if we could be family that would be even good, so let's be together for a long, long time.” - the tall hyungie my eommaㅠㅠ i love them so much😭❤️show more

I can't believe this is real I have GLM... 5.2 running 100% locally on my Mac Studio. 2 bit quant. The results I'm getting are better than Opus 4.8 It's now powering my Hermes Agent and Codex. 100% free, local, private super intelligence on my desk I also have it in a loop coding for me 24/7 now I thought we were at least a year away from this type of event. It happened today. The model takes up about 250gb of memory. So you can technically run it on a Mac Studio with 256gb, but you probably want the 512gb memory version (please tell me you listened to me 5 months ago when these were sitting on store shelves) With Fable gone, I now have Opus 4.8 level intelligence on my desk for free. This is the future. Local, private, secure, personal super intelligence. If you're still writing off local AI as a fad or engagement bait, you are officially delusionalshow more

🐕‍🦺❄️ Back when my heart felt cracked from losing... my mentor dog, Kuno, and my Bully Bestie, Pistol (you know, the kind of crack that makes a rottie stare out at the world all thoughtful-like on the ramp, tail wagging slow)... I used to wonder, 'how do you heal a broken heart?' 💔 Then along came this tiny tornado named Kenji. One snowy backyard later: zoomies, tag, me dropping into fast downs like a pro, him yeeting off his snow mountain with the most ridiculous adorable play bow ever 🏔️🐶 He chews my ears like they're premium bully sticks, sits on my head like it's his personal throne, climbs all over me 24/7 like I'm a living jungle gym... and yeah, I tolerate every chaotic second of it. Because despite the tiny-monster energy? I love that little wrecking ball dearly. ❤️ Now? I'm up on the deck, front paws on the railing, looking out and feeling like yeah... my world's pretty darn good again. Turns out "love again" isn't some big dramatic thing—it's a baby brother who thinks you're the best big sis in the universe, endless puppy chaos, and choosing patience over perfection. Healed by one fluffy disaster. Works every time. Who else's heart got patched up by a pup who tests every limit (but you still adore)? Spill it, I wanna woof back! 🐾😭 P.O.L. (proof of love) in attached videoshow more

✨ Okay with lots of help from Javi Lopez... ⛩️ and his Spanish scraping friends I've managed to vibe code my own ScrapingBee alternative and replace my $249/mo Scrapingbee plan with my own $1/mo scraper running on my VPS! First I tried OpenSERP, an open source project that seems freshly maintained but it didn't work on my VPS IP or laptop IP and got blocked fast Then I tried to use residential IP proxies from IPRoyal but they were already quite tainted IPs meaning Google already knew they were scrapers and just blocked about 60% of them already, not so great, also didn't work! Then I discovered OpenSERP uses a vanilla headless Chrome, Google instantly detects that and blocks that, so literally the entire repo is useless cause it won't even work? I don't get why they don't say that in the docs? OpenSERP is even worse than just basic CURL, as my AI said: "plain curl got 7% blocked but OpenSERP's headless browser got 100% blocked" So then I just built my own with Playwright and a real Google Chrome on my VPS, headful and persistent context, and slow pacing like every 30 seconds or so And I got some better residential IP recommendations (which I can't tell you because thenhey t stop working!) Now I'm at about 90% success rate, which is similar or better than Scrapingbee And it costs me ~$1/mo (measured by GBs, obviously for text scraping I barely use a lot) instead of the $249/mo I paid Scrapingbee! My only remaining SaaS now are: - Cloudflare Domains - Cloudflare Email Sending - Cloudflare R2 Storage - Backblaze B2 for backups - Hetzner for all my servers for all my sites (VPS) - xAI for all LLMs for all my sites (so many things like moderation, writing emails, anything)show more

Mzansi National Importance Please Help. 📍🇿🇦💔 Can someone please... send help? I've been employed on and off, trying to make a way for my son and me. I live in a toxic household, where you're the best when you can give money but you're nothing when you don't have anything. I have a deadbeat baby daddy who doesn't support me. I've endured so much for the entirety of my life, but I can't anymore. I wanna get away from this house where people bully me, where I'm isolated, gossiped about. I wanna flee. I feel like ending things. My family has been the root of my pain, towards myself but also my child. tonight we had the biggest fight and they tried to make me seem like I'm a bad mother because I at times keep my son in my bedroom with me, but it's because of how they treat him. The colorist comments, the way they break down his self-esteem calling him "blou ding", "k#ffer", and more. When I told my mother I'll take legal action against them, she told me that the police will see that I'm crazy. She also threatened me by saying she'll take me to court and say I abuse my child!!!! I don't abuse my child I sometimes yell at him out of frustration cause I'll tell him to stay with me but he'll go to them. He's 5 so he obviously doesn't understand why I don't want him around them. I feel embarrassed for having to come to the internet with my problems, especiially since I've always beem taught to hide the ugly but I can't anymore. 😭😭😭 Someone send help. Whether it's a ngo that can help, a job application, a learnership, anything. I just need to get me and my child out of this household. I'm tired. Ek is moeg! 😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 #help #toxichouseholds #deadbeatdadprob #southafricashow more

Eben Etzebeth's post on Instagram: Hey Everyone I've been... quiet, but now that my hearing is done I think I owe everyone an explanation First of all, this is not a post to show that I was not guilty, I accept guilt. I made a mistake and I'm willing to serve a suspension which I deserve. I don't want young kids who look up to the Springboks to think that it's OK to eye gouge someone, because it's not, but unfortunately mistakes happen and I made a big one for which I'm sorry. But I'd like to answer the question - why did you do such a thing? It was a mistake caused by my reaction and other factors that played a role. Slide 1: The scuffle was basically over when Wales #7 struck me with an open hand to my chin/neck area, you can see me looking at the Assistant Referee and waiting for a reaction from him (it happened fast and it's understandable that he didn't see it) without reacting yet, I got another pull on my jersey, before I go in with the similar type of action. Slide 2: You can clearly see my first point of contact is against his shoulder with an open hand, just like he did, except he got me on the chin. Another thing worth mentioning, when he struck me, I was standing still with not a lot of movement or players trying to get involved. When I went for the same open hand towards his shoulder, you'll see 2 Welsh players changing the dynamic of the entire picture as well as one of my teammates pulling Wales #7 around his neck away from my hand and where my force is going. Slide 3: Another Camera Angle So why did I post this? To try and show people how everything happened and that it was never intentional. I would never do something like this on purpose, I know what the consequences will be after playing rugby for a few years. Thanks to everyone that stood by me and thought the best of me. I'm sorry for letting you and the game down. That was my first red card since I started playing. I want it to be my last. To the people that were angry and upset with my actions, I understand - because it didn't look good on the slow motion replay and hopefully you've got a bit more context now.show more
