Can you believe this video is fully generated by... AI? ➡️ First, I used Midjourney to render an image based on a photo of me. ➡️ Recorded my voice. ➡️ Uploaded the rendered image + voice mp3 file on to Studio D-id to generate this video 👇🏻 AI has made content creation incredibly convenient. For example, I barely had to do anything here; 👉🏽 didn’t have to get ready to be in-front of a camera; 👉🏽 didn’t have to worry about what’s in my background or if my room is even presentable enough; 👉🏽 didn’t have to worry about where I was; 👉🏽 didn’t need any recording gear - even a camera. || 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗼𝗳? || Prompts used for the image: ‘𝘱𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘬, 𝘱𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘵 𝘢 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘬 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘢, 𝘯𝘦𝘰𝘯 𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘦𝘵𝘶𝘱 𝘣𝘦𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘦𝘳, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘭 𝘵𝘪𝘦 𝘥𝘺𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘵, 𝘯𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘬𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦, 𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘶𝘮 𝘸𝘢𝘷𝘺 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘩𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘴, 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘤, 𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘮, 𝘴𝘰𝘧𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘵 𝘴𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨, 24𝘮𝘮 𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘴, 𝘧/1.4, 𝘈𝘙 9:16, 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘺𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘯𝘦𝘺 𝘱𝘪𝘹𝘢𝘳 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳’.

#zhanglinghe #TheBestThing 🩺🌷 he suye always told others to... love themselves more than anything else. but, is he also apply it to himself? yes. these two scenes makes me realize that that he knows his value so well and also know when to give up and move on. I love how the screenwriters didn't make his character ended as a "love brain" guy that will just love the FL without any reason. even if he's already been hurt. when he was rejected, he chose to stay away from sxf. it's not until sxf came to his house that he tried to open communication with her again. in 1st video below, he said that he will also end the relationship if he feels it doesn't spark happiness anymore. this is inline with his mother's hardships during marriage. she was trying to hold onto someone who didn't have the same amount of love and made her ended up loving alone and struggling alone. this is also the reason why he didn't propose to sxf. actually, after sxf gave him the ring and the way he said "I thought you will propose me", we know he already considering marriage. but it was only when she propose to him then he propose her right away. did he passively waiting? no. at one side, he waited for her to finally ready to marry him by her own willing. at the other side, he make sure that she also have the same amount of love so he will not end up being the one who has more love in this relationship. he make sure no one in this relationship will end up like his mother. the importance to love yourself before loving others. thanks he suye for this lesson🥹🫶🏻show more

Wooyoung’s message to Hongjoong: 🐈‍⬛ The way you’re always... growing and becoming cooler and cooler - I feel so, so proud that you’re part of our team. You really make me think, “Ah, he is the biggest treasure of our team.” 🐿️ I’m confused now~ 🐈‍⬛ We’ve been preparing a lot together for this concert, and first of all, I just want to say you worked really hard. And in “Wake Up” (최면), if you look at your rap… 🐿️ Ah~ I think I know who this is… I can totally tell. 🐈‍⬛ There’s this killer rap part in there, and I think ATINY are really going to love it. 🐿️ The way he’s talking… feels kinda familiar! 🐈‍⬛ I think this concert will really show off your dancing too, so please prepare well and don’t get hurt. 🐿️ Huh..? What’s going on… 🐈‍⬛ I hope you can show ATINY a great side of you. 🐿️ Ah, this is confusing. 🐈‍⬛ Ah… 🐿️ Ah? 🐈‍⬛ I’m sure it’s mentally draining with so much to learn, but take care of your mental state, okay? 🐿️ That’s definitely it - especially that last part. Even with the voice disguised, I can hear it. Ah, Jung Wooyoung, this is definitely… 🐈‍⬛ Don’t get sick! Don’t go around all day holding your stomach going “Arghhh”- do well, okay? ♡ 🐿️ Now I get why he kept going “Arghhh.” Yeah, this is totally Jung Wooyoung. Q: At which point did you realize who it was? 🐿️ It was when “Wake Up” got mentioned- because Wooyoung had said he wanted to hear a fast rap, and that’s why I wrote that rap for “Wake Up”. Also, there was this one day I was really sick while we were preparing for the concert, and Wooyoung stayed by my side and really looked after me. Hongjoong’s message to Wooyoung: 🐿️ Wooyoung-ah, even though you don’t show it, you always take care of me in your own way. And when I get all stiff or too serious, you joke around with me and loosen me up - thank you for that. Please keep looking after me in the future too. Fighting~! video cr. cozy_azshow more

The power, the rage, and the resistance of a... mother. ✌🏻 The mother of a teenager, who was killed in the street by Iranian regime forces using live ammunition. Soure Golestani, the mother of Mehrab Golestani, shared this video on her Instagram and wrote: “Forty days have passed. When my dear aunt gave me this dress, according to tradition, to help me step out of mourning, I said no. Don’t ask this of me. I will mourn forever. But I had forgotten my vow. I had made a promise to love, to care, to live in place of my Mehrab, to live. So I pushed aside the needs of my mind and body. It was hard. But my world now needs my high energy. It needs light. So I stood up. Aunts, uncles, dear people of Iran, do not forget. We made a promise. We will continue. Not only for my son, but for all the children of Iran” Mehrab Golestani, a 17-year-old student, was shot with live ammunition on January 9 in Isfahan. He later died in the hospital due to the lack of blood available for transfusion. #IranMassacreshow more

YESTERDAY WAS THAT DAY 😊😊😊 A DAY WITH THE... Bolajiogunmolatv 🫶🏽 Have your fav decided to fly all the way just to surprise you? NOOO! So shift back 🤣🤭 I was shocked. It’s very hard to surprise me cos I will always pick up a clue or my instinct will kick in but this time I was legit shocked.. And the fact that she didn’t post in real time for 12 hours so I won’t suspect sealed everything. I was shaking for more than 5 mins. Like how? What! My head wan blow 🤯🤯🤯 When she said “I just came to see you. I came to Abuja for you”… I thought she was whining me but this woman came to my place straight from the airport, spent the day with me and my sisters and left first thing this morning. She didn’t even tell her Abuja friends she was coming just so we can enjoy the day together 🥹🥹. Don’t tell me not to feel special, it’s too late. I AM ALREADY FEELING EXTREMELY SPECIAL 🥰 MY HEAD WAN BURST 🥹🤣 -She came with her brother and was intentional about coming to help me Make content for my brand. His work rate >>>>.. In her words “you gave me your time and that is very important to me”… if you know me, you will know the easiest way to finish me is by supporting my brand 😭🙏🏽🫶🏽 -I have been asking her to send in her measurements for months. Well she came for physical measurements. 💅🏽 -She is such a vibe and holds the best conversation. We were gisting for hours like we knew each other for years.😊 -I got sneak peak of our next YouTube movie and y’all better be ready. Another banger dropping soon 🎉🎉 -Oh! And did I tell you how KIND she is. KIND, GRACEFUL,THOUGHTFUL,HER PRESENCE IS SO SOOTHING AND HER MIND IS BRILLIANT.. She came bearing gifts too. I didn’t even open it cos I was too excited to see her. Will go and open it later today… -SHE IS SOOO PRETTY. OMG! Camera is not doing any justice abeg. Too beautiful and portable. TV definitely makes them look bigger. -Gave her a tour of our 80% done fashion space and she wanted to use hype to finish me. Advised, prayed and encouraged me. -Then we went to watch AJOSEPO the gathering for the 5th time with her. She brought my own personal premiere to me 💅🏽 -Funfact; This was something she didn’t have to do but she did just to show me love. She already messaged me to thank me several times and even chatted on video call and it was very okay. I was always telling her the “Thank you” was enough so you see how this was such a big deal. THANK YOU SO MUCH WIFEY. Yesterday was super special because of you 🫶🏽.. One of the edits her amazing brother did on the spot. 👇🏽👇🏽. He is too good 👍show more

Sohee barely cried but he’s crying because of briize... letters?😭 suddenly i remember all the hate trains from other fandoms and even their so called fans back then still hurts me so much. No matter how much we tried to defend riize, the haters&boycotters tweets always got a lot of engagement. They’re all over rz social media (it’s getting better now thank god), It was during awards season when us who voted for riize got mocked by another so called "brz" because they wanted riize to be miserable so bad and not win anything, they even mock riize when they got those one awards at mama, wishing riize to disbnd, etc. I really won't forget those times, honestly i was about to give up but i remember how this 6 boys really need people who genuinely loves them thru ups and down it’s was hard yes but thanks to myself for always with riize 🥹 riize deserves all the love happiness! Pls only be happy from now on!!!!!show more

Stop with your bullshit apologies. We have seen every... word. I’m done with the “I wasn’t involved” or “I didn’t see it.” We have seen it ALL. These are just some of the screenshots. And I do not want to hear a WORD about it being mean for me to drop names because I have this many followers. I get to defend myself. I get to call out the ACTUAL mean girls and not be called mean for warning a community I feel a duty to protect about the cruelty of those who seek to harm this community. Ellison, you are a straight up liar. See the video of our DM’s. You asked me to RT and I did. Even if I did say I’m too busy to be your personal money maker because I was moving my wife 1700 miles across the country, I have every right to say I can’t add something to my plate if I can’t. Either way - your issue was that I didn’t allow you to use me. I chose my wife over a girl who does not know me and pretended to. Your words were selfish and cruel for no reason. You deactivated instead of facing what you did. Grow up and face it. Calling Vik transphobic? You’re a liar. You don’t even know her! Beth - you never even asked me for help. The things you said about Petra? How could you say that about another trans woman as a trans woman yourself? I’m so deeply deeply saddened by the attacks on her. To those of you in that chat who were my friends - genuinely, just wow. None of you defended me until after Ellison left your chat once she realized she was caught red handed. And to see the things you blindly said about people I love without even knowing them at all? To those of you who blindly believed this and the other vile shit said about myself, Petra, Vik, and Erika - I hope you learned your lessons about blindly believing shit others tell you. And I have RARELY said no to anyone on this app. And if I do, it’s because I genuinely can’t stretch myself ANY thinner. I help every person I can. Every single one. I am not scary. I am just a person. There was one group of mean girls yesterday - and it was the group you all blindly followed and believed were the ones sad about “mean girls.” In reality, none of the people attacked were mean. None of them. None of us were even in the GC’s you were allegedly mad about. Regardless, the call was coming from inside the house. Friendships are built on this app brick by brick. None of us came into this knowing one another but we spent real time becoming real friends with the people we are close with. That is what most of you are upset about - jealous, actually. And I get that! But you’re jealous because we formed REAL friendships where we do not have time for the mean girl crap yall do because we’re too busy laughing and gassing one another up, or even gassing up other oomfs. Your friendships are based on hatred and shit talking and getting the “tea.” No wonder you couldn’t form something lasting - who would trust they wouldn’t be next? BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER. BE REAL WITH ONE ANOTHER. GET TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER. That is how it’s done. Anyway, I will be off this app today and enjoying the last leg of my drive with my wife to our HOME together. Despite this, I still love you all.show more

Perrie admits she’s “frustrated” by how Jesy Nelson has... portrayed the breakdown of her relationship with Little Mix, adding that she feels the group consistently tried supporting Jesy at the cost of their own mental health, and that accountability should be taken on all sides: “Sometimes you just won’t win with people. And what annoys me the most… I have to be careful how I say this because I don’t want to seem like a bitch… But what upsets me the most when situations like this happen is when the other person doesn’t take any accountability. That boils my blood. I’m not blaming everything on you [Jesy]. I’m not saying, ‘She’s this fucking monster and everything was her fault’ and blah blah blah. But take some accountability for your actions and realise you were difficult. You did have difficult moments. Granted, there were reasons for those moments... but you can only pick somebody up so many fucking times before you start losing track of your own sanity. You want to be there for that person, but if they can’t accept the help and they can’t accept the love you’re trying to show, how do you win? You can’t. I hate that. I don’t like putting the blame on people. Don’t put the blame on me and make me out to be something that I’m not. Yes, I’m not perfect. I might not have been there enough, or I could have done better I suppose… but I thought what I was doing was enough. I thought I’d tried everything. So to then sit there in further interviews and discuss it publicly and be like, ‘I wasn’t supported’… You were, though. You were. So just take some accountability and I’ll feel better about it. I’d say [I’m] more frustrated than angry, because I don’t like being painted into a person that I’m not. Because I’m an open book, I have to be real. It exhausts me when I see people that I know inside and out not being genuine. It frustrates me.”show more

This has got to be one of the BEST... stories in sports card history, and it happened to me this morning. Warning: this story involved a $35,800 transaction, a German wedding, and Lamine Yamal This morning, I woke up and saw a Lamine Yamal /10 Base Prizms Gold NFT for sale on the #PaniniBlockchain for $35,800. I felt that the price was fair and I purchased at 5am. Seconds later, I get a dm from the anonymous seller on Instagram. “Hey this is Brian”. A German guy, few followers. What I learned next is nothing short of f*cking legendary. I’ll let him tell the story from here, and I’ll accompany the epic tale with photo and video proof. Sit down, and buckle up. “Two days before my wedding, the four of us—my best man, my wife, my cousin, and I—went out and bought a few Panini packs together. Just for fun, we agreed that each of us would keep one pack sealed and save it for the wedding day. The plan was to open them together after the ceremony and see what we got. What made it even more special was that my best man had never opened a trading card pack in his life. It was also my wife's first real experience with the hobby. My cousin and I had opened cards before, but none of us expected anything crazy. Our friend from Prime Collectors was there as well. Since he creates card content, he had his camera rolling the entire time, so every reaction you see in the video is completely genuine. After the ceremony, we all sat down and started opening our packs. My best man went first—nothing special. Then my wife opened hers—a few nice cards, but nothing huge. My cousin was next, and again, nothing out of the ordinary. Then it was my turn. I started going through the cards one by one until I saw a flash of gold. The moment I saw it, I knew it could be something big. When I turned the card over, it was a Lamine Yamal Panini NFT numbered 8/10. For a few seconds, nobody said a word. Then everyone completely lost it. You can hear in the video the exact moment everyone realizes what had just been pulled. Even Prime Collectors, who has seen countless incredible pulls, couldn't believe he had just captured that moment on camera. but honestly, the value wasn't the most important part. What made it unforgettable was that it happened on my wedding day, from the one pack I had intentionally saved two days earlier. It's also important to mention that the wedding was already fully paid for, so this wasn't a story about "paying for the wedding" with the card. It was simply an unbelievable coincidence and one of those once-in-a-lifetime moments that you could never plan. Looking back, I honestly don't think I'll ever experience another moment quite like it. On the same day that I married the love of my life, I also pulled one of the biggest cards I've ever held in my hands. That's what makes this story so special.” Panini Americashow more

Video shows 18-year-old Kimber Mills (in the pink shirt)... and her friends line dancing at “The Pit.” This is where they were when an uninvited male opened fire, shooting 4 people on Sunday. Two males were severely injured, and Kimber was killed. *Video is from September* Kimber's honor walk was today at 4:00, followed by surgery to procure her organs for donation. Please continue to pray for her family and friends, as they cope with this devastating loss. 🙏🏼 BACKSTORY: Jefferson County, Ala. — A night of fun quickly turned deadly at around 12:30 a.m. Sunday at a location known as “The Pit,” where dozens of teens were having a bonfire gathering. A man not known to the group, 27-year-old Steven Whitehead, reportedly showed up uninvited and approached one of the girls, causing a confrontation. He pulled out a gun and began firing, shooting four different people. One of them was 18-year-old Kimber Mills, who had no involvement in the fight. She was shot in her leg and her head. The tragedy has brought an outpouring of support from the community. More than 100 people gathered at the hospital Sunday to show love for Kimber. “She is so loved by this amazing community she has behind her,” Ashley said. “We are beyond thankful for everyone who has shown up to support her.” On Monday morning, emotions ran high as Cleveland High School students gathered outside the school to pray for their classmate. Many held hands, bowed their heads, and shed tears. Principal Brannon Smith said additional counselors were made available for students as they process the news. “I have a daughter who’s a cheerleader, and yesterday was a hard day,” Smith said. “This tragedy hits close to home.” Deputies arrested Whitehead and charged him with three counts of attempted murder, although one will likely get upgraded to murder. He is being held in the Jefferson County Jail. #crime #truecrime #news #tragedy #viralshow more

Saturday - Adam Friedland This musical intro was the... best part of the show. The rest of his act just made me miss Nick Mullen. Unlike every other show this week, there were girls there. They seem to love this guy. I used him as bait, to get the girl from Wednesday to go out with me again. She loves Red Scare Podcast and this Jewish twink is a staple of the Red Scare Extended Universe and I wanted to fuck her and so let's go see Adam Friedland. The problem with Adam is that he has no conviction. He does not own the room, he's just filling space. He announced that his father was there, in the crowd, which is great, let's hear something that might make your father uncomfortable. No such thing was said. He stared at the floor for half the set, as if he was sorry for being there. I saw Mulaney the night before; the difference was stark. Mulaney can get away with being a sheepish pushover twink Sometimes because he also has balls. He can accelerate from "Aw shucks" to "SHUCK YOU MOTHERSHUCKER" and both versions of himself feel true. Look, I get it, being a sad sorry pushover is his schtick and it works with the voice and it's very relatable for sensitive young men who didn't do sports in high school but to carry a room for a full hour you also need to be able to fight back. I could hear Nick's intonations in his voice. But it's clear that Mulldog spent all his creative energy this week ghostwriting the white guys' lines for the Roast of Kevin Hart and so Friedland was left to fend for himself, comedically. The mark of whether a comedian is delivering or not, for me, is whether I hold my piss in to keep hearing them. This was not the case on Saturday night. I recall stepping out and getting a good look at the crowd, and Friedland bumbling through his completely forgettable material, and thinking: this makes me feel like I could start stand up comedy today and dominate the genre. I have this instinct to say: Adam's young! He'll get better! But he's not. He won't. He's 39. He doesn't have the neuroplasticity. He crossed the Sensitive Young Man threshold ten years ago. Mulaney at 43 could be his father now. He's a "much better interviewer" apparently. I tuned out after Cumtown ended because frankly I don't give a shit about the middle east, and that's 90% of what he talks about. Different strokes. I asked some guy in the bathroom, mid-piss: "what would you rate this show, out of 10?" He said: ehh, like a 6. He's a much better interviewer. I don't hate Adam Friedland, I just wish there was anybody to be excited about in stand up comedy. Between this mens' magazine giving me a $500 stipend to "report" on all these shows and the $474 ticket to Gillis and the $432 ticket to Chappelle and the $741 ticket to Mulaney and all the drinks they make you buy at these things I'm feeling like a huge sunk cost leech on the world. Just taking people's money and using it to complain. At least my date seemed to be having a good time. I wrapped my hand around her low back and leaned into her head, wanting her but not sure how to say it. It's much easier to express that kind of thing on blow. Later that night I K-holed in public. Erica and I took way too much in the front seat of the van. We were outside a rave at 3 AM, they asked me to produce a QR code on my phone, I could barely stand. I felt like I was moving in 2D. The fat security guard barely flinched as I walked past him in slow heavy steps, like a penguin, marching into this densely fogged room with colorful lights and loud bumping trance music where all I could stand to do was lean against the heavily breathing walls. I tried to dance with the girl but it probably looked retarded. I didn't try to interact with anyone, I was too far gone. I thought of Karen, as I do every time I take K. The girl led me through the venue, as I worried I would fall over or walk straight into a wall. I worried about how bad this must look, how retarded I must look, wearing this huge XXL t-shirt tucked in to my pants that don't even fit that well because I have anterior pelvic tilt and no ass. I looked and felt like a clown. A failed clown. I was smiling painfully at Erica, looking down at her, and she was doing the same to me. We found a bathroom and I forced my way in. The ketamine was NOT wearing off. I felt my heart beating hard and my head spinning like I could have thrown up but there was nothing in my stomach besides liquid—no food all day besides a croissant at 2PM. I had downed some random person's red wine glass at the last bar. I worried it might have been spiked. I leaned with my head against the wall, sweating, wishing it would end, brutally aware that Erica's out there waiting for me, my friends are out there waiting for me, wondering if I'm okay, thinking he's too fucked up, he can't handle himself, I thought Thomas was always okay and always in control no matter what, they're losing confidence in me, they're losing confidence in themselves for associating with me, what is this big colorful retarded clown shirt I'm wearing I must look like such a fool right now I can't face these people, I can never face them ever again, my face must look so evil ugly and strained, I splash my face with water but it doesn't help, run it through my hair but it doesn't help, get the water all over my shirt but then it just looks like I threw up on myself or pissed myself or something, and I don't have another shirt, should I go out there shirtless, no that's worse, how am I ever going to leave this bathroom, why won't this K wear off, now Erica's calling me, texting me, are you okay, eventually they're just gonna bust in here I know, fine, I can do it, I'm opening the door, yes, I come out, she's still there, good, good girl. She leads me outside. I feel 10% better. I lead her straight to the van. We get in. I tell her to lay with me. Just like on the first night we met. Head spinning, chest heaving, completely exhausted, just lay with me. She asks are you okay and I say for the first time, no. No, I am actually not okay. I blame Adam Friedland. Overall rating: 4/10. Have Nick write your jokes or just stick to interviews.show more

I want to correct the narrative and misinformation that... people are spreading from this live about “manly” comment. Lot of people are spreading a completely misinterpreted context of this situation. Jimin has NOT argued against being called manly. He “scolded” a fan who called him manly & then immediately laughed afterwards. He said you are not supposed to laugh after calling someone manly because that makes it seem like a joke. He didn’t say to not call him that and it is a completely made up narrative spread by huge number of people. It is shocking how many people never actually watched the full clip and just decided to go with the false “jimin told fan not to call him manly” narrative. His “issue” was fan laughing after saying it to him, not the word itself. Please don’t put words into Jimin’s mouth just so you can project the image you have on him. So many of you love putting him in the box and it is genuinely disrespectful. The both instances many people are using of jimin “arguing” against being called mainly were a joke w a fan/interviewer that people misinterpreted so they can project their own idea on him. Jimin has embraced being both masculine and feminine many times before and doesn’t have issues w either so stop lying on his name. He had always said he likes exploring different versions & sides of himself and owns both so don’t close him up in a box just because you are more comfortable with one side.show more

A week ago, I took Kuno to the emergency... animal hospital. I burst into tears when we got there because it was obvious he was hurting. I've experienced a lot of physical pain in my life, but the gut-wrenching feeling that comes with seeing a dog you love in pain is right up there. I expected them to medicate him for pain, maybe give him a shot for nausea. I never pictured he wouldn't come home with me. Our relationship was different than most. We learned all about wheelchair life together. Everything from fighting our way through doors and getting stuck in snow and on dilapidated sidewalks to traveling the prairies to dog shows together. When I hung my head ashamed because I couldn't get into a place, he said, "Fluff this," and walked proudly beside me. He dried a lot of tears and brought many smiles and a lot of laughter. He wasn't a well bred dog. He certainly wasn't the most athletic. He was very intelligent, though. His one flaw was he sometimes lacked confidence, the result of me being over careful as a new wheelchair user, but we regained much of that. He followed me everywhere and watched me lovingly. He breathed life into my soul that I didn't think I'd ever feel again. My life is infinitely better because of him and the lessons he taught me. Losing him is hard. Everything I've managed to learn, do, and achieve since losing the ability to walk was because of him. Literally everything. We came so far together, and I'm a much better, stronger person because of him. The one thing that makes this loss easier is knowing how loved he was. Not just by me, but by anyone who knew him. I'm still amazed and humbled by how many lives he touched. The best thing I ever did for him was really learn to read his body language. I could tell by the flick of his tongue when he needed a second to just check out our surroundings before proceeding. I knew by his ear positions if he was unimpressed by my actions. He'd do whatever I asked anyhow, but by really learning his language, I was able to adjust to his needs to make him as happy as possible. If there's one thing you can do to make your dog's life better, it's to learn how they communicate and respect them when they tell you they need a moment or a little space. Get to know their tail positions, their earset, how they breathe when they're problem solving or thinking, and understand the yawns, the lip licking, and their appeasement behaviors. It takes time, but it will make your relationship with your dog so much better.

Michael Garrett - NC Senate's Viral Statement on the... Bad Bunny Halftime Show “I watched #BadBunny deliver the most American halftime show I have ever seen. Then I came home and watched it again. And I am not okay. In the best possible way. He sang every single word in Spanish. Every. Single. Word. He danced through sugarcane fields built on a football field in California while the President of the United States sat somewhere calling it “disgusting.” Lady Gaga came out and did the salsa. Ricky Martin lit up the night. A couple got married on the field. He handed his Grammy, the one he won eight days ago for Album of the Year, to a little boy who looked up at him the way every child looks up when they dare to believe the world has a place for them. And then this man, this son of a truck driver and a schoolteacher from Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, stood on the biggest stage on the planet and said “God bless America.” And then he started naming them. Chile. Argentina. Uruguay. Paraguay. Bolivia. Peru. Ecuador. Brazil. Colombia. Venezuela. Panama. Costa Rica. Nicaragua. Honduras. El Salvador. Guatemala. Mexico. Cuba. Dominican Republic. Jamaica. The United States. Canada. And then, his voice breaking with everything he carries, “Mi patria, Puerto Rico. Seguimos aquí.” My homeland, Puerto Rico. We are still here. The flags came. Every single one of them. Carried across that field by dancers and musicians while the jumbotron lit up with the only words that mattered: “THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE.” I teared up. I’m not ashamed to say it. I sat on my couch and I wept because THAT is the America I believe in. That is the American story, not the sanitized, gated, English-only version that small and frightened people try to sell us. The REAL one. The messy, beautiful, multilingual, multicolored, courageous one. The one that has always been built by hands that speak every language and pray in every tongue and come from every corner of this hemisphere. That is the America I want Jack and Charlotte to know. That when the moment came, when the whole world was watching, a Puerto Rican kid who grew up to become the most-streamed artist on Earth stood in front of 100 million people, sang in his mother’s language, blessed every nation in the Americas, and spiked a football that read “Together, we are America” into the ground. Not with anger. With joy. With love so big it made hate look exactly as small as it is. And what did the President do? He called it “absolutely terrible.” He said “nobody understands a word this guy is saying.” He called it “a slap in the face to our Country.” The leader of the free world watched a celebration of love, culture, and everything this hemisphere has given to the world, and all he could see was something foreign. Something threatening. Something disgusting. Let that sink into your bones. The man who is supposed to represent all of us looked at the flags of our neighbors, heard the language of 500 million #Americans across this hemisphere, and felt attacked. That’s not strength. That’s not patriotism. That is poverty of the soul. Here’s what I want to say to everyone who posted about that show tonight, who shared it proudly, who turned away from Bad Bunny’s celebration because it was in Spanish and the flags weren’t only red, white, and blue: Your children will see those posts. Your grandchildren will find them. The internet doesn’t forget. And one day, when the history of this moment is written, when our kids and their kids look back at 2026 the way we look back at the people who stood on the wrong side of every bridge and every march and every moment that mattered, they will know exactly where you stood. They will see who chose Kid Rock over a hemisphere of flags. They will see who called love “disgusting.” And they will carry that knowledge the way all of us carry the knowledge of what our ancestors did when they were tested. The only thing more powerful than hate is love”show more

this is a tribute post to share the legacy... of an artist whose work has changed my life and inspires me everyday, Jun Seba aka Nujabes. Born February 7, 1974, Nujabes was a music producer & DJ from Tokyo, Japan. He came from a family of music lovers and his father’s admiration for jazz served as an inspiration to Seba at a young age. He pursued his education at a Fine Arts school and the people in his life influenced him to explore the vast wonders of what music really is. In a 2003 interview with Sound & Recording Magazine, Seba said… “I started making tracks because I wanted to hear music that sampled the old soul and jazz I liked.” Nujabes in his early years discovered Hip-Hop and was enamored by the art of DJ-ing and breakdancing. Hip-Hop culture was being brought to life in the USA, but its influence seeped across the world and it started to gain popularity in Japan at the time as well. Seba went on to become a crucial figure in Japan’s underground Hip-Hop scene as a DJ, co-creating a label called ‘Hydeout Productions’. His love for music stemmed beyond just creating it. He had his own record store, which he spoke about in the aforementioned 2003 interview. “I recently started up a record store, Tribe, which I see as an extension of Hydeout Productions. Everything at the store is stuff I went and bought overseas myself, and my hope is for people to come in, listen to old records at their leisure, and hopefully feel inspired by those records to make good tracks themselves. That’s another thing I would like to cherish doing in the future—creating those sorts of encouraging environment” This was a genuine testament to the pure love Nujabes had for music and the community that is built as a result. This passion is what fueled the masterpieces we listen to today and it is the reason for him revolutionizing Hip-Hop production. One of his greatest achievements, in my opinion, was his contribution to the soundtrack of ‘Samurai Champloo’ alongside Fat Jon. This soundtrack set Nujabes on center stage. With a fusion of traditional Japanese musical influences, everything he learned as a student of Hip-Hop, and his early love for Jazz music, Nujabes created a new soundscape which set the tone for this acclaimed show, but also epitomized his brilliance as a musician. At a recent Nujabes tribute performance, longtime collaborator and a friend of Nujabes, Fat Jon, said a few words about him… “Our friendship went beyond music. And so yeah, we had fun making music, but we had more fun just doing regular shit in life… Nujabes as a person, separated from the music, he was a cool person.” You can tell everyone that has worked with or around Nujabes has a deep, unwavering admiration for him as a musician, but also as a person and a friend. Although his contributions to the soundtrack shot Nujabes to fame, his discography of solo music is what cemented his legacy as a pioneer of modern music. From his debut ‘Metaphorical Music’, to his most critically acclaimed work ‘Modal Soul’, Nujabes was able to create entire soundscapes by blending all the different things that made him love music in the first place. It would be a disservice to not mention his friends and frequent collaborators who had invaluable contributions to his work. Shing02, Uyama Hiroto, Cise Starr & Akin (CYNE), Substantial, Haruka Nakamura, and many more. (I’d love to give recommendations to people who want to dive into their work after seeing this!) Nujabes music heavily centered around jazz and soul samples intertwined with his intricate drum patterns and tranquil instrumentation. He fostered an atmosphere of serenity with his melodies than touched the hearts of millions around the world. From ethereal tracks like “Horizon” and “Counting Stars” to his Luv(Sic) series, Nujabes created art that transcended the preconceptions of what music’s impact is. if you made it this far, thank you for reading. i have no more characters left lolshow more

More revelations are coming out about Jim Goad, including... the revelation that the criticism people leveled at him online---including myself---may have played a role in the crushing depression that led him to take his own life. In his podcast yesterday memorializing Goad, Gavin McInnes states that he believes Goad's 2024 debate with Owen Benjamin broke Goad mentally. Not only is he visibly tired and flustered during the debate, Benjamin accused Goad of abandoning his severely autistic son. According to McInnes, after the debate, Goad told McInnes, "He's right. I did abandon my son." Apparently this was the first time Goad ever conceded that one of his critics was right about him. McInnes---a close friend of Goad's---also claims "in many ways, he was already dead. Last time I spoke to him, I had solutions to his problems, but he wasn't interested." I was the one who discovered what Goad did to his son all the way back in 2018; around the time of the infamous Luke Ford stream (where me, Nick Fuentes, Baked Alaska, and a bunch of others clowned on Goad for hours), a local Atlanta TV station ran a story about how Goad's then ten-year-old son had formed a bond with a local Santa. Goad had split up with his wife Shannon some years before, admitting in one of his podcasts that he was the one who filed for divorce. Goad was so angered by this expose that he recorded and published a phone call with his ex-wife where he refuted the idea that he was a "deadbeat dad." Nobody accused him of being a deadbeat. He was accused of abandoning his disabled son to be raised in a broken home. Goad's self-image of a dedicated truth-telling emotionally unaffected loner and his critics being jilted fans was a carefully constructed lie. He was extremely sensitive to criticism and carefully curated his online image. This included trying to deplatform his critics (as he tried to do to me; in addition to false-flagging my YouTube channel, he successfully got me banned from Medium and may have gotten my website taken down in 2019 through false reports to my webhost), viciously attacking anyone who criticized him even mildly, no matter how obscure they were (as Andy Nowicki reveals in a recent video), and manipulating others into defending him publicly. If you ever got into an online argument with Jim Goad and he felt like he was losing (aka every argument), you'd immediately get dogpiled by a bunch of his friends and exes backing him up. Goad even severed relationships with people he felt were insufficiently willing to defend his honor. For years, he bragged that my ex Ann Sterzinger was going to write a tell-all book about me that would completely destroy my reputation, most recently in a 2022 podcast with Greg Johnson (I believe he ALSO brought it up in an 2023 interview with Ethan Ralph, but don't quote me on that). Sterzinger confessed in private messages that Goad pushed her to write the book to "save his reputation" and became violently angry with her when she never finished it. She also denounced him as a narcissist following the end of their friendship, accused him of lying, said he would complain about "how the fame he pretends he never really wanted never really came his way," and claimed that in 2018, he manipulated her into "pretend[ing] to be OK after being raped" so he could use her as a weapon in his upcoming "debate" with me. Sterzinger also admits that Goad would privately shit-talk his supposed "friends," claiming he shit-talked Gavin McInnes to her and shit-talked her to McInnes. This is corroborated by emails I exchanged with Goad's former friend/co-host Keith Lee. Keith also stated back in 2018 that Goad was "losing control" due to his inability to curate how he was perceived online. Does any of this diminish Goad's influence as a writer? No. But the reality that he lied about himself and others constantly and sought to destroy anyone who criticized him was a consistent feature of his personality. The fact that me and others may have played a role in his depression and suicide makes me feel terrible, even if I was justified in attacking him for what he tried to do to me. I discussed this with a friend and he hypothesized that as Goad's health worsened, it stripped him of his usual coping mechanisms and forced him to confront his personal traumas and lifelong abusive behavior, and he simply couldn't cope. The real bomb in his brain was not his tumor, but his guilt. In any event, if there's an afterlife, I hope he's found some peace.show more

I feel like there is some kind of stagnation... in my soul. I don't feel hopeless or tired, but suddenly everything became less interesting. I have to do something to wake up my soul so I can go back to how I was. I am the one who insisted on living, even if life was only room for my feet. I wonder what happened to me. I have become just a mass of flesh without a soul. I lost my passion and love for life.. My dear friends and loved ones .. This is your friend Mo from Gaza and this is an update The military operation is still continuing in northern Gaza... and there are more evacuation orders for the north and more displacement. I heard from one of the merchants that he has some cat food in Jabalia... but the area is dangerous there... Approximately he has 15 to 20 boxes Each box contains 24 cans Despite that, I said let's try to go, but we have to be careful... I went with my cousin Animal world We went to the furthest place we could reach. The picture below shows us at the Qurm Junction, and anyone who is in Gaza knows that it is the entrance to Jabalia... Unfortunately, we did not dare to approach any closer than that... We heard the sounds of explosions and saw plumes of smoke and the sounds of gunfire. Drones were flying densely over our heads. So we backed down and decided to go again today.. but the weather is very, very rainy today.. We will go again on Wednesday.. I wish we had access to cat food. It is more beneficial for them.. My friends and loved ones.. There is still the possibility of donating to buy the largest possible amount of food for them Or on the PayPal link It appears that the talks have reached a dead end. In this case, I should buy as much as possible. Today we can buy.. Who knows? Perhaps we will not be able to go and search in a few days... as I am doing now... I am grateful to someone who stood by my side during these difficult times. Your loving friend Moshow more
