So you want to become a VTuber in 2025?!... Here is a guide on how to get started, made by 4 year full-time VTuber and Manager, Lulu! 1. Know your goals Know if you are getting into VTubing as a hobby or as a business from the start and set your expectations accordingly 2. Start small F2U and P2U models and assets are available plenty via Nizima and Booth, VRoidstudio is free to make a 3D avatar with 3. Test the waters Make sure that streaming is possible for you, test your tech, your upload/download speeds, your voice, your set-up. Make sure that you give yourself a good experience as well as your future audience 4. Take your time Getting to affiliate/monetization will take time, getting used to the tech side of things takes time. It's unlikely you will wake up to 1k viewers overnight, and not every day will be great interactions only 5. Connect with other VTubers Make space and time for new friends, don't see them as networking opportunities or competition, but people on the same path. 6. Grow organically Using Ads or shifty tactics to stand out can not only jeopardize your standing in the community but can cost you your channel 7. Don't give up Even on days when things are difficult, don't give yourself too much pressure. Enjoy what you can and don't let other people or tech problems get you down, the journey is worth it.show more

Breaking: Hubble Telescope Opens a "Window" into the Dark... Universe — First-Ever Detection of a Starless Dark Matter Cloud! In a groundbreaking discovery announced by NASA, the Hubble Space Telescope has revealed an entirely new class of cosmic object: a vast, starless cloud dominated by dark matter, rich in gas but completely devoid of stars. Nicknamed Cloud-9, this enigmatic structure lies about 14 million light-years away, on the outskirts of the spiral galaxy Messier 94 (M94).This is the first confirmed observation of such a "failed galaxy" or relic from the early universe — a massive dark matter halo that gathered hydrogen gas but never triggered star formation. Hubble's deep imaging ruled out any hidden faint stars, confirming it's truly dark and star-free.Key highlights from the discovery:Massive dark matter core — estimated at around 5 billion solar masses, anchoring a compact reservoir of gas. A cosmic fossil — likely a survivor from the universe's infancy, halted during reionization (when the first stars and galaxies lit up and ionized surrounding gas). Implications — This "phantom" object provides direct evidence for the existence of low-mass dark matter halos that never evolved into full galaxies. It suggests the universe could be filled with similar invisible structures, offering a major boost to our understanding of dark matter and galaxy formation. For decades, theorists predicted these "dark galaxies" or RELHICs (Reionization-Limited Hydrogen Clouds), but Cloud-9 marks the first solid proof caught in the act.Scientists are buzzing — this rare "wow" moment could rewrite parts of cosmic history and hint at countless other hidden building blocks of the universe lurking in the shadows.(Source: NASA/ESA Hubble release, Januaryshow more

VTubing is for everyone! I don't like to bring... this up, but recent events in the VTuber community made some people really vile. I had my M&G at HolMat last week and had people come up and just yell at me for being a girl in the "womans world", that is VTubing, no idea about who I was, or why I was there. I had the same group return to my handler multiple times, I felt really worried about the person carrying me around having to deal with this repeatedly and tried to steer them away from the group. It seems they found my YT and left me a handful of the same comments, luckily all caught by moderation tools. While I will refrain from M&G's for a little until this calms down I want to say this; I have been managing for over 1.5 years now, I deliberately take on male VTubers to show them that they can still do it. I take on people that have babiniku accounts, those that are changing from one gender presentation to another and want help, and those that have no gender presentation in their avatar. A lot of male VTubers struggle to find a manager because the stereotype is that all male VTubers are evil and it perpetuates a stereotype that extends beyond entertainment industry subcultures like streaming. VTubing has always been a medium, while character and marketing matters, it's about what makes you happy, YOU are the person that makes the content. Use whatever you want as an avatar, use a voice changer if that's what you want to do. Every month I have a male client bring up they can't do it the same way, that it's easier if jiggle physics or a cute voice is the answer to fast growth. And I tell them yeah, I can also do ASMR, I can do drama content, collab with a larger person, and get to x amount of viewers. There are shortcuts in every entertainment profession and subculture. Does it last? Do quick fixes for anything ever last? Yes, great physics and an expensive model can get people in, but if your value, your way of interacting with people, your content plan and marketing is ass, you can pack up. Most of us start on a small budget, premade or resold models, and it's the same in the big league entertainment industry too. Can I take out a loan and put myself on a billboard tomorrow, can I pay the most expensive model artist and rigger and get in along corporate VTubers tomorrow? Sure. Will it last, will it be genuine, will people trust me? Hell no. Genuine communities and growth build trust. I think streaming, creative industries, entertainment, are full of people, regardless of gender, that will see success and call it "easy", because of what they see as the end product. They don't see most VTubers working a second job, they don't see the managers, they don't see 100+ hours a month going into content production, years invested in singing and voice lessons, model redebut after redebut. I think a lot of male VTubers get a bad rep, because so many boys are raised without putting emphasis on empathy and creativity, watching my brothers be told they should not pursue art, that theatre class is a waste of time, and that they needed to go study x or y to make money for their families in the future was heartbreaking. Nobody should have to look at others and feel so much hatred for society they turn against a whole group of people. If you want to pursue entertainment, please do. If you want to grow and try and make a name for yourself, you should start there, not with yelling about how you already failed. "Oh but I can't", "Oh but the odds are stacked against me", look at the big streamers, look at Ironmouse who overcame everything with hard work, look at Kiara who rose from the ashes, look at everyone that fights against their odds every day and give it your all. If you already think you lost, then you have nothing to lose. Don't give up on your dreams because others tell you to.show more

OpenClaw, but built for normal people. Sim is an... open-source platform that lets you build AI agent workflows on a drag-and-drop canvas. Connect them to channels like Telegram and WhatsApp and deploy without writing a single line of code. They also have a built-in Copilot that generates entire workflows from plain English, which you can then tweak and customize in the UI. Key features: - Free and open-source (Apache 2.0) - Vector store integration for RAG-grounded agents - Self-host with one command (`npx simstudio`) - Run fully local with Ollama, no API keys needed - Supports vLLM for production-grade self-hosted inference The thing I really like about Sim is the level of control you get. You can add conditional branching, parallel execution, human-in-the-loop approval gates, and even nest workflows inside other workflows. Everything is visible on the canvas, so you know exactly what your agent is doing at every step. And you can build a workflow in Sim, deploy it as an MCP server, and plug it into any agent, including OpenClaw. I've shared the link to Sim's GitHub repo in the next tweet.show more

CCleaner used to be the default way to keep... a Windows machine fast. Then it got bought, stuffed with ads and bundled crapware, and in 2017 one release was compromised and shipped malware to over 2 million people. Millions still install it every month because nothing else has really replaced it. So, a team called AdventDev just built a free, open-source replacement. It's called Kudu. Open the app and you get one dashboard for the whole machine. > System cleaner for temp files, logs, caches, and crash dumps. > Browser cleaner across every major browser. > Gaming cleaner for launcher and shader caches. > Registry cleaner for broken and orphaned entries. > Startup manager that shows the actual boot impact of each program. > Disk analyzer with an interactive treemap, so you can see where 40GB quietly disappeared to. > Debloater that rips Windows bloatware out. > Program uninstaller that also removes the leftovers other uninstallers leave behind. Then it does the parts CCleaner never did. A malware scanner with signature matching, heuristic analysis, and Windows Defender integration. A privacy shield that lets you flip 30+ Windows privacy settings from one screen: telemetry, ad ID, Cortana, tracking. Secure delete that overwrites files with random data before removing them, so nothing can recover them later. There's a real-time performance monitor with per-core CPU, memory, disk, network, and S.M.A.R.T. drive health. A one-click restore point before every clean, so you can roll back. Scheduled scans. A CLI mode for people who don't want a GUI. Support for 30 languages. Native app for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Intel and Apple Silicon builds. No ads, no upsells, no telemetry, no account. The cleaning rules are plain JSON files, so if your favorite app isn't covered yet, you can add support for it without writing a line of code. MIT license. 100% Open Source. Repo:show more

Labor Day: recognizing the grit, resilience, and unmatched productivity... of the American worker. President Reagan spoke about our free labor system (and owning the rewards of your own labor), drawing a sharp contrast from the oppressive labor systems behind the Iron Curtain, where your labor belonged only to the communist elites. Those systems treated workers as tools of the state. Ours treat workers as individuals, free to earn, build, innovate, and thrive. It’s the reason America became the most prosperous nation in history while socialist regimes collapse. The old famous Soviet line come to mind: “We will pretend to work as long as they keep pretending to pay us!” That’s not a recipe for productivity or innovation. Achievements happen because people are incentivized by the belief that their hard work will pay off AND they’ll own it, not the state. The people who produce very little resent this system, always voting for politicians who promise to take from the productive members of society and redistribute their wealth to them. They offer up some rationale of an unequal playing field, social justice, etc- whatever buzzword of the day fits their agenda. But in the end, succeeding in America is easier than in any other place in human history- combine talent, hard work, and stay out of jail. Happy Labor Day.show more

It's fascinating that I can take pictures in London... with one of the most prominent Jewish figures from Finland, yet low IQ freaks would rather blindly trust fabricated images and old Grok misinformation. Instagram isn't a place where you can pick and choose country. It detects where you are based on your signup ID, which App Store you're linked to and other information. A VPN wouldn't be able to bypass it. I literally only have the option to show the United Kingdom as my country, or no location at all. My retarded enemies want you to think I can simply select wherever I want, but this is physically impossible. I'm sharing a screen recording to prove it. Months ago, an account complained that I live in the UK, long before anyone began pretending I'm in India or fabricating images. The timeline doesn't add up, because it's simply a lie. But it honestly doesn't matter how many times you inbred miserable losers post your fake images. I'm not anywhere on the subcontinent. Never been there. I'm in the UK and I moved here from Iran. I speak Persian and English. If you doubt this come on a space any time and I'll slap you around in my native language. When the X country update rolls out, it will once again base itself on signup IP, bank information, verification and other core details. It will place me in the UK where I live and where I do important work with important people, and it will place most of you in third world slums.show more

I’m at the movies with my daughters and CPS... called my phone. I answered and really let them have it. Since 2016 they have investigated me more times than I can count. People with an axe to grind are free to call CPS and make any accusations they want with complete anonymity and impunity. I have been the subject of targeted harassment for a decade now. The system is beyond broken. I’ve tried to escalate this to Frankfort Kentucky multiple times but they won’t answer the phone or return messages. Real hard working people, let me tell ya. Our tax dollars at work. The other day CPS pulled my two high schoolers out of class. This is more than ten times now in the last few years. Tilly cried so hard she had to leave school. Keep in mind I had to homeschool Tilly last year because of constant harassment from CPS. They pulled her out of class approximately 7 times her 8th grade year. She wanted to go back this year and I allowed it. and here we are, back to square one. All of my kids are A-B students. They have never been in a fight. Never had a referral or incident. Never busted with tobacco etc. CPS asked Marcy and Tilly: • ‘What was my relationship with Tori?’ (My gf of 4 years and mother to my youngest) • ‘Is Ritty delayed?’ • ‘Do I give my children tobacco products?’ I’m so over this fucking dumb shit. This will be the SECOND time I’ve had to retain an attorney to deal with these people. Every investigation has proven fruitless. They accomplish nothing more than scaring my kids and disrupting our quality of life. Bunch of fat fucking liberal women that clearly hate me. I’m a pretty open book and I think everyone can agree that I go above and beyond for my children. (My Cashapp is $amiriking if you would like to assist with legal fees. I’d really like to take these people to the ends of the Earth until there is REFORM.) Thanks for letting me vent. I’m going to exhaust every resource I have to expose these corrupt, biased, people and how incompetent the entire cabinet is. Will update A LOT.show more

Managed to get out of Dubai. The following is... my personal opinion & experience 🇦🇪 Everything went quite seamless. Careem cabs operate normally. The airport is extremely well organized, considering the circumstances. The world has changed since Saturday and unfortunately, the country I moved to 3 years ago has been under heavy attacks. Why? No one really knows. However, I find it extremely disturbing that most media - including our beloved CT - exploits that serious situation to take cheap shots at Dubai and people who moved here. There are real families and hard working people affected. Most are scared or feel extremely uncomfortable. It's a traumatizing experience to hear missile interceptions right above your house. Nothing I wish for any human to ever experience, no matter if you pay 0% or 50% taxes. I don't even know what the link between those two things should be?? If anything, it proves that the UAE cares about their people and is able to protect its residents. Even at 0% income tax. Dubai was not known for it's strong military. It was always portrayed to be bling-bling golden steaks and influencers. But the UAE has shown the entire world that it can defend 1,000+ drones and 200+ missiles from a direct neighbor. That is impressive, whether you love or hate the UAE. Many countries would likely not be able to absorb that. So, if anything: Dubai and the UAE have demonstrated that the system works. I have lived in multiple countries around the world and the UAE is by far the most capable of handling crisis. Why did I leave Dubai then? Because it's not a situation I want to be in. Missile interceptions and drone explosions are no joke. Besides the danger that debris could hit your roof, there's an incredible intensity in the air. Most describe it as "intense calmness". While the Government managed to keep everyone from panicking, it's impossible for everyone to stay fully calm. And you can feel that in the day to day. The first night I got virtually no sleep. The night of my departure neither. I haven't left my house at all after the attacks started. But I'm out now. I really hope that leaving the country wasn't necessary, and that I will be able to come back to Dubai as soon as possible. And no, I'm not paid to say this, nor did I sign anything. Maybe part of the truth why no one who lives in Dubai has bad things to say about it is because it's one of the rare places on earth where people actually trust the Government and respect them? Not only for creating wealth and understanding business, but for caring and communicating in a way most other countries are simply incapable of. Anyways, I guess the point of this post is to 1) Tell everyone in Dubai that it's possible to leave right now. I know many people are very scared and want to get out. Be persistent with the airline if they cancel your flight and push hard to get rebooked on the next available one. And maybe choose a destination that isn't Europe, considering most of these flights are overbooked already and impossible to get on. 2) Dubai's self defense is impressive and we should acknowledge that. At least this one time, let's not derail into irrelevant discussions but show respect to the leaders + express empathy for those affected. 3) As an expat living in Dubai, I can still feel proud of my home country and do not have to choose. This isn't a black and white situation. Dubai is a melting pot of cultures and great place for Business. Other countries have better nature, social life or other things. It's also up to individual preference. 4) If you hate Dubai, yalla you don't need to live here, visit nor speak about it. Enjoy the place you live in and focus on your own. No need to feel triggered and take cheap shots at hard working people and families that are currently under heavy missile attacks. One final thing that really became clear to me this week is that after all, safety, health and living in freedom are absolutely priceless. May this all be over with soon and for sustaining peace to come in 🤲🏼show more

I’m incredibly excited (and very nervous!) about the launch... of AMPLIFY. I have always felt enormous gratitude to have been born in Australia but, like many of you, I felt that we weren’t going in the right direction as a country. I started turning my mind to what we might do about the situation and got advice and encouragement from some amazing people. We decided to set up an organisation that is all about community at its core. So what is AMPLIFY? AMPLIFY is a community where Australians get to have their say and make a difference on the most important issues that we face as a country. We are non-partisan and completely independent of any political party. Anyone can become a member of AMPLIFY at no charge. We are seeking to find “uncommon ground” and identify the right solutions to the big issues facing Australia. We will do this by bringing our community together for events in all parts of the country, we will facilitate online conversations, share evidence, talk with experts and come up with solutions. The way in which we will make an impact is by taking our ideas to politicians and Amplifying the voice of our community to spark change. Our goal is to help Australia become a more prosperous, fairer, more cohesive and happier country. I will be serving as founder and Chair of AMPLIFY. My job at Square Peg is not changing in any way. Georgina Harrisson is our CEO and has been doing a remarkable job since joining last October. I am also really proud that my son Joel is an important part of the AMPLIFY team. I am grateful to the amazing group of people who have joined the board; Suzi Carp, Rona-Glynn-McDonald, Kate Jones, Gill McLachlan, Dom Perrottet, Kate Pounder, Mike Schneider and Zara Seidler. If we are going to be successful we need your support. You can sign up at our website and become a member in a few seconds. Please spread the word. Please share this Tweet or, better still, post your own Tweet and share with your audience.show more

In both Kenya and Nigeria, you people still haven't... realised that these celebrity activist types who receive generous funding and support from the U.S. government via its many NGO fronts, are at best like 👇🏾this guy - pretending to do valuable work while actually taking a free ride on your credulity. And that's the best case scenario, because their real job is much more malevolent. Boniface Mwangi and Yele Sowore are literally the same person. The only difference is that one of them has a Kenyan accent and the other has a Nigerian accent. They even share the same American funder (Ford Foundation), and they have both made multiple Hollywood attempts at running for public office that they knew they had no chance at winning. One of them even made a movie out of it. Most importantly, they both exist to play an important role for the external interests that maintain a chokehold over both countries - their job is to place their faces and their narrative in front of any resistance or revolutionary movement that brews organically, so as to take control of it on behalf of their funding interests and misdirect it somewhere harmless where it fizzles out. Sowore attempted to do it with #EndSARS and successfully did it with #EndBadGovernance, and Boniface did the exact same thing with #RejectFinanceBill2024 and #RutoMustGo. "Organised civil society" in Africa is part of the empire's colonial infrastructure. You would think with all the noise made about USAID, the bigger point would have been made by now. These people are not helping you or doing you a favour, as if they invented the concept of resistance and revolution, or it wouldn't happen without them. They are the gatekeepers who ACTIVELY prevent real revolution from happening. That's what they receive hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of US intelligence/NGO slush funds for wvery year. These men that you think are "heroes" are actually some of your biggest opps and I don't know how you have not realised this yet. I can't understand how you can't see it.show more

Last year, he came across news about an accident... near Amarnath. A bus carrying pilgrims met with an accident due to brake failure. Several people were affected. That incident stayed with him and became a trigger for developing a patent pending fail-safe breaking mechanism. ----- I met Khaleel Syed at our ಮುಂದೆ ಬನ್ನಿ meetup in Hubballi in December. Like many others in the room, he listened quietly, asked a few questions, and stayed back after the sessions. A month later, when he explained what he had been building, I understood what confidence can unlock in tier 2 India. Khaleel is from Gadag and studies at KLETU Hubballi. He is pursuing a combined BCA and MCA degree. He is deeply interested in the automotive domain. His father has worked in the automotive field for several years, including time in Saudi. Growing up around that environment, Khaleel always felt that he should do something meaningful in this space. Last year, he came across news about an accident near Amarnath. A bus carrying pilgrims met with an accident due to brake failure. Several people were affected. That incident stayed with him. He and his father started thinking seriously about whether something could be done to address this problem. They began experimenting on their own. Over time, they designed, fabricated, mounted, and tested an apparatus that could act as a fail safe braking mechanism. They developed a system that could be mounted onto the rear axle shaft. In case of brake failure, the driver can press a button placed near the driver’s seat. Once activated, the vehicle comes to a gradual halt within about 10 to 12 seconds. There is no jerk. The stopping is smooth, ensuring the vehicle does not topple or lose control. The system also automatically switches on the hazard lights, alerting other vehicles that something is wrong. To test this properly, they even bought an old Tata Ace truck using their own money. They modified it to install the apparatus and tested it under multiple conditions, both with and without load. The Tata Ace normally carries about 750 kg, but they also tested it with close to 1 tonne of load. The system worked well in all scenarios. Within about 8-9 months, Khaleel and his father took this from idea to a working prototype. With the help of KLETU, Khaleel has applied for a patent. The EIR hearing is already done, and he is hopeful about the next steps. What made me really happy was not just the technical achievement. Khaleel told me that he got the confidence to reach out to me only because of the Hubballi meetup. Because everything was discussed in Kannada, he felt that a small town boy like him could also think big. He felt that his ideas were valid and worth pursuing. He reached out to seek help in connecting with OEMs and others who could support him in commercialising this idea and taking it further through professional testing and industry adoption. If this idea eventually gets adopted at scale, it could make heavy commercial vehicles and buses more fail safe, reduce emissions, and possibly save lives. If anyone reading this knows people who can help Khaleel take this forward and turn this into a real world product, please reach out to me. This, to me, is exactly why #MundheBanni exists.show more

Wtf am I supposed to do with this Dave... (Dave Meltzer) this is so mind-numbingly dumb it actually makes me want to quit X. You almost won. I genuinely feel that sorry for you. Because what’s the fucking point. I'm a Philadelphia Eagles fan. I played Division 1 football. I wasn't good at that level, but I was good enough to play at that level and against competition that was way over my head. Watching Eagles tape is kind of like my palette cleanser. It’s a hobby. Because everything else I enjoy somehow touches Hollywood and entertainment. X’s and O’s doesn’t touch my work. I can just be a fan and not somehow make it about my work. We’re 7-2 and it’s somehow still miserable to watch. We’re winning in spite of the QB. Sirianni’s boxed in. He can’t run what he wants because Hurts can’t go through progressions. We have 2 elite receivers and who are both fucking miserable because they are elite, and Hurts is an awful QB. That 4th and 6 with :30 left makes zero fucking sense unless you understand it in this context. That was frustration. It was an indictment on what they actually believe about Jalen Hurts, and Hurts couldn’t even make that throw. It almost cost the Eagles the game. That was Sirianni saying “I know what the fuck I'm doing!" Yeah, me too, Coach. I understand that Dave and Bryan make shit up. Most of you on X either don’t believe I am who I say I am, or you do and I enjoy writing really long dissertations — not because I give a fuck about arguing with Dave Meltzer. He is so obviously, to me, without any credibility. I enjoy educating and informing curious fans and giving actual credible rebuttals to what is obviously just absolute trash takes, uneducated opinions, and dishonest framing from Dave, who has absolutely destroyed his 40 years of reputation and the real respect that he once had from people that matter. I don’t even take any joy in writing this. Dave, you threw away your life’s work. You threw away 40 years of your life’s work. I get that you don’t understand the nuances of media and the economics of the business in 2025. That’s OK. Very few people do. I am amused that you double down on everything that you do not know. Anyone with a functioning brain sees right through it. It’s ok. I get a kick out of the fact that you ignore me, because if you were to engage me you’d only amplify how out of your depth you are, and you’re holding on tightly to the $14.99 subs model. I get it. I believe you are so narcissistic and myopic in your need to a) make a living and b) defend this whole narcissistic construct about the NWHOF You wear your Frank Deford idolization on your sleeve, which again… fine. Your takes hurt wrestlers. You are not honest. You very clearly have an agenda. You’ve sold 40 years of credibility for this. That’s not a new take. This… I’m not even intellectually stimulated about how can I take your 4th-grade, 1994, faux subject-matter-expert take, riff on your idiocy, and offer curious fans an actual fucking take. “Drew’s going to be gone for a while.” “He’s doing a movie.” You both said this shit so confidently. The movie doesn’t shoot until April '26. Cavill tore his ACL. It is super fucking public info. I am a real agent. This is the first time I’ve actually kind of agreed with some of my clients or coworkers or media people on X: “Nick, why do you bother? This is beneath you.” Yes, it’s indescribable how beneath me refuting you, even acknowledging your existence, is. It’s like a war crime. It’s absolutely insane that you are considered credible by anyone at all. God bless you. You have too much influence, though, with a few key people, and you are giving them bad advice bc you have no fucking clue what you are talking about and... “Drew’s going to be gone for a while.” You are a fraud. Laughably so. I am going to go back to picking apart the Eagles All-22. The movie shoots in April 2026 and I've worked the schedule out so it won't affect WWE creative.show more

Again… don’t be a dumbass and do stupid shit... like this fool just for clicks and attention. Josh West intentionally grabbed and pulled on the steering wheel of a Tesla Robotaxi during a ride to see what would happen. He did it multiple times from the backseat. The Robotaxi responded by braking, giving safety alerts, and contacting support. He also unbuckled his seatbelt while the vehicle was moving and, after the ride, put one of his own stickers on the Robotaxi. The Tesla team reviewed the trip, cited safety violations and property damage, and suspended his Robotaxi access. Then he turned around and made a video titled “I Got BANNED From The Tesla Robotaxi Network… So You Don’t Have To!” No… You didn’t do this “so we don’t have to.” Nobody needed you to grab the steering wheel of an unsupervised Robotaxi. Nobody needed you to intentionally trigger its safety systems. Nobody needed you to put your sticker on a vehicle that doesn’t belong to you. You did it for content. And this is exactly the kind of stupid shit that pisses me, many investors, and many hardworking employees on the Tesla team off. The Tesla team has spent YEARS working their asses off to make unsupervised Robotaxis a reality. Engineers have dedicated countless hours to building, testing, and improving this technology while Tesla fights through regulatory scrutiny and proves the system can safely scale. Then a fool gets access and intentionally fucks with the vehicle for a YouTube video. Think about how selfish that is. Millions of people are waiting for this technology to expand. Tesla employees have spent years of their lives working to get it this far. The last thing the program needs is some attention seeker intentionally creating safety incidents for clicks. If you’re lucky enough to get access to a Tesla Robotaxi, respect the fucking technology, respect the vehicle, and respect the people who spent years building it. Sit down and buckle up. Keep your hands off the steering wheel. Don’t put or do shit on a car that isn’t yours. And enjoy the fucking ride. It really shouldn’t be that difficult. The Tesla team has worked too damn hard to get to this point for fools chasing YouTube views to jeopardize it for everyone else. Don’t be like this fool.show more

But really. This is overwhelming. I can’t imagine what... that must feel like. 50k is no small number. And that’s from one city. I completely understand yoongi crying back then bc of how big bts was getting. This type of pressure could crush anyone if they didn’t have the right support system. And we have seen this happen with a lot of artists. Just collapsing under the pressures of their fame and global reach. It’s what’s makes bts stand out I think. It’s the way they’re constantly and acutely aware of their impact. Humility runs in their veins. And never once have they ever taken even 1% of this global level phenomenon for granted. It’s so easy to get swept up in this type of power. So easy. We’ve seen empires fall bc of something like this. But BTS are just built different. They surround themselves and each other with unwavering support. They don’t fall complacent. Don’t let fame dampen their passion. They’ve never lost sight of what’s important. Never taken advantage of the love their fans have to give them. It’s why they feel different. It’s why their success feels monumental. It’s why people will always want to replicate everything about who they are or where they came from and their story of how they reached the top. Bc they think bts cracked the “formula” towards success. But there is no formula. No “science” behind it. Just an unexplainable truth that there are certain things in this world that come around but once in a lifetime. BTS are one of those things. Their groundbreaking success has no secret. No shortcuts. Just 7 separate lives that lined up perfectly on that one fateful day. That’s it. And the rest is Bangtan history.show more
